no new beta released today, just wait until a new version is out

That aged like milk. 

Looks like the reworked Cirrus included in this new beta will be their new poster boy.  loads of new features in there on display (Custom lean misfire, detonation, and engine failure simulations), and a new visual model.

New update is live!  First stage 375 MB.  I am expecting quite a large second stage due to the new SR-22.

Second stage is 2.25gb, took me ~8 minutes.

I wish!  My new 5G connection is better than my old landline connection by far, but it varies between 12 and 60 MB/s.  And it is peak time at the moment in the UK so I am getting lower end.  I will try fixing up my external antenna when I get a clear weekend.

Full-screen fuel management page
Weight and Balance page with graphical CG envelope
Trip planning page with automatic and manual modes
Massive suite of interactive checklists
MFD destination inf-box
PFD power gauge, GAGL indicator, GS and TAS
Frequency loading menus on airport and waypoint inf-pages
FIKI (Flight int-Known Icing) and TKS simulation
Stabilized approach system with PFD alerting and monitoring for:
Bar-mismatch, crosswind, tailwind, flaps, lateral deviation, and vertical deviation (GS and GP).
Updated EIS with custom reversionary mode version
Lean assist, fuel flow green band, and cyan fuel flow lean target indicators

BUT....... will the Cirrus's doors open?    No study level without opening doors 😁😄

There's no manual in the folder.

All of the SR22T and Perspective+ manuals are available to the public, so we didn't include them in the package. Tons of checklists for the plane both in the plane and in-sim as well.

Can someone provide me current instruction on how to opt into the BETA?

I used to run on a 4G connection in south Leicestershire.  Steam download speeds were around 2-10MBs.  Starlink Satellite internet was available before we got 5G here, so I went with that.  Fell off my chair when my next Steam download was 146MBs!

I can get up to 100MBs with MSFS downloads, but at the moment it is between 0 and 20MBs just after the latest beta went live!

• Open MS Store
• In the search field, enter "inside" (without quotes)
• Find and download "Xbox Insider App".
• Launch the Insider app.
• Look at the tabs on the left and click through them until you see "MSFS insider programme" (or similar).
• Choose to 'join'.
• Let it think about it (often says 'pending' for a few minutes).
• When confirmed, exit the insider app and launch MSFS.   You'll be notified of a new update.
• After that initial update, when MSFS core launches, there'll be a further content update.
• DONE!   go fly in the beta

Can any beta users with FSRealistic confirm that the new Cirrus is connecting to FSR ok? For some reason the previous default always closed FSR when it loaded.
Drove me potty, really like the plane and really looking forward to the new version.

@scotchegg Normally don't fly the Cirrus so can't tell if this is a change for me or not but latest Beta ( 1.35.19 ) plus latest FSR ( 2.2.0 ) works fine with the updated Cirrus.
