About 30min ago for me.

Looks like they're wrapping this up ready for release, generally a disappointing update overall which no doubt they'll use the "well it's holiday season and all the staff were on the beach" excuse, more like AAU2.5  which is cool but at least they finally fixed the white dot nonsense so I suppose that's something.

I just wonder if SU14 will actually be a thing, or if they change tactics and just go full on MSFS2024 and before anyone says "they said they'll continue to support this Sim" plans change folks and God only knows what goes on at Asobo, I doubt they know what they're doing half the time!

Good to see plenty of positivity.

You can blame MS/Asobo for that with their track record 😂 

Of course I'm thankful for any update, but I'm not here to pat backs and kiss bare behinds when bugs from 3 years ago are still not fixed 😉

Positivity doesn't mean kiss a$$es... for example I criticize a lot here and in the official forums - hoping to stimulate and contribute to improvement - but I am very positive regarding the MSFS experience as a whole.

Remember what we had before MSFS release, and what we would still have in 2024 if it wasn't for MSFS.

Their track record has produced an excellent flight simulator. 

Your post was whining about nothing in particular. The one ever so slightly positive comment, was seemingly made under duress.

Well the optimisations have worked for me.  Performance is really good on my PC now.  I would say smoothest ever.  

Everyone will have to wait and see what effect it has on their own set-ups, but for me, the update is worth it just for the performance alone.

I don't know what they have done, but it is certainly smoother. 
I can't check FPS properly as I am maxed out at 60FPS on my 4k monitor, and it rarely drops.  Ultra settings, LODs at 150.

Personally, I can't wait to see what results people get.   All the world update packages have been adjusted and may be part of the optimisation process, so they will have to be downloaded for the regions where people want to fly, or they may not see the full optimisation.  They are an optional download of course.

Let me know which Flight Simulator had so many updates and support by listening customer wishes as MSFS during those 3 years. Of course there are bugs, and they will do exist even on 2024 release.

Any comment on improvements for DX12 vs 11?

Sorry forum police I'll do better next time

I've been using DX12 in the beta, without issues. There were issues in the early beta (low performance), but was sorted. I use DX12 because as you know, mandatory for frame generation.

BTW, example, flying out from Brussels (Aerosoft) with FG on its 61 fps. with FG off it's 30 fps. Just by changing that one setting. Glad I don't do AMD GPU's.

Wouldn't know, MSFS is my first proper flight Sim in decades. It's all well and great getting free updates, but not when they break so much over the years without much attempt to fix what they broke. The facts are there for all to see, I refuse to be 100% positive every single post just to tow the line according you lot when blatant errors have been made by the developer.

I'm positive when I like to be, in this case in my opinion this Sim Update is weak overall, if you don't agree with that that's fine, that's your opinion and I respect that 🙂
