This photo could pass as an MSFS screen shot at a glance for sure!

 

Well apart from the avionics being much more interesting than the MSFS's G1000Nxi 😉

Those who participated in the beta have an idea about the download size of SU14 (not disk space, please). Just curious!.

About 4 Gig

I´m using DX11 and DX12 both, for tests, and even DX12 has the airport ground tile swapping

Please could you clarify what you mean by that exactly?

If you are fed up with the ghosting, i.e. those trails behind AI Aircraft and the airport people walking around, update your nvngx_dlss.dll file which is in the "Content" folder. These are not updated with either driver or sim updates. It makes a big difference and also gives you some extra FPS.

Great thanks, I missed that. So, I'll be getting up at 4am to start this then 

or, you can enroll in the beta right now and you will get the same version that will get released to the masses tonight, and you will avoid the bottleneck.

Tomorrow, when? because I'll read this topic the next month and I can read "tomorrow" again. Tomorrow is today 2023/12/5?

Tomorrow is today and it will be yesterday soon in New Zealand.

Yes, today 5th December.

Does anyone know how big this update is in terms of download? MS's servers are awfully slow for me, so I need to prepare in advance, especially since I have to work on the sim as well 

Just to add "Mr Biology" is an incredibly smart guy.. he's well known from the X-Plane world for his sky/clouds addon in XP11. Fantastic tool, and glad he's bringing his talents to MFS as well.

Approx 11GB.....rough estimation if I recall correctly. You can do something to not get into the "big crowded load.......just opt-in to the beta and download it now. When the final release comes, you should probably do not have to do anything (because the current build will most likely be the release build number.....). That is how it went in the passed.

When using DX12, some users, incl. myself, and anknowledged by asobo, see default BING MAP ground textures localy (not covering the whole airport) loading on top of the addon custom ground tiles. But with the latest BETA this seemed to be reduced. This is a Cash issue on ASOBO/MS Code. With SU15 this should be resolved. With DX11 I don´t see this behavior at Airports! But With DX12 and DX11 there is another issue, ground tile loading while in flight at NON Airport locations. This is a server side data issue on MS/ASOBO side and you need to report where you see this, because they clean up the data base and that should make it better. No update on your/our end is needed for that issue

The reason I asked is because the reason I can't use DX12 is because of the vanishing airport textures revealing the satellite textures below. Essentially, large parts of the airport would just vanish. I have been frustrated by this since the beginning. I had hoped when I read that that the issue had been fixed but I see that you said it's just been reduced. However, you suggest that come the SU15 update, whenever that will be, then the issue will FINALLY be resolved.

Am I understanding this correctly?

Yes, I think you do

Thank you. This is excellent news. I had given up on the idea they would ever fix this in this iteration of the sim.

May I ask how you know that? Is there a source I can read?

Since it has been quite a while since I Iast participated in a beta run, what will us SU14 beta users have to do in order to push SU14 final?

.) When SU14 final is ready do we first have to unenroll from the XBox Insider Beta?

.) Or will the update process take care of that automatically?

Thanks!
