The missions run with the current date now, which is a major improvement! Before I was stuck at June 6 2023, which got a bit boring over time. :-)

Ah! Great - didn't notice that! Thanks !!!

HI,

tried to update and while it downloads ~9.1GB and goes to restart the sim. it then D/Ls the full update again !!

Rinse and repeat.......

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers.

Oh ! Good news ! 🙂

Indeed! This is from their Facebook page, posted on 24th January:

The update for the wheeled Kodiak is locked and will be sent to the vendors next week. We anticipate to release it on our shop Thursday and will try to have it on the Marketplace on the same day.

The floats Kodiak is coming later, so they say. Not sure what the delay is - I think I read MSFS2024 water handling, or water effects.

Ignore me. I’ve been trying to reproduce it this morning. I was flying the Cessna 404 Titan. That’s got a lot of funky things going on period. Lol.

I updated via the Xbox app for pc. after the first update, like in your case the Xbox app tried to redownload the update again. I simply interrupted that 2nd attempt and MSFS 2024 beta still worked like a charm.

Yep, have it now, used the Xbox app.

Thanks.

I've just been watching an Obsidianant Youtube, and he says Asobo/MS stated that the SU1 Beta is only a small part of what's coming in the full update. Does anyone have further information, or a link to that statement ?

Is historical weather working? I've changed the time on a few flights but it doesn't seem to change the weather.

I haven't tested it myself yet, but I saw it working on a live stream yesterday.

I tried it out. The G1000 white dot is still there instead of the silhouette of a plane. Looking around will still hang and then zip around making it hard to tackle things you may need to do quickly during landing, etc. Might just be a 'me' problem but annoying none the less.

Does anyone have the micro stutters in the cockpit when panning around and also when taxiing. When you take off, the stutters go away. I do not have that in FS2020. I have RTX4090 and I9 14900K. I basically put all my settings like i did in Fs 2020 + RTX is in the highest setting.

Yes, 2024 stutters. For me anyways. 4090, 64Gb 7950X etc etc

Some people on the official forum specify how to get historical weather to work with SU1:

Very positive experience from the beta SU1.

smooth (fps.locked at 30) and sharper scenery, significantly improved vs before the update.

Simply awesome.

My local airport is pretty much closed, EGNT, due to the wind. I just tested the new MSFS 24 sim update beta, I was able to take off and land. I tried the same flight in XP12 and couldn't get off the ground without being ragged all over the place due to gusts. (with a baron GA aircraft)

Well, the question you answered was about MSFS 2024, how the winds were handled in the SU1 beta. I don't think it was part of the question to compare to another sim. All good. Bye.

TBH when I read his first two sentences, the same thought popped into my mind: well, is that accurate to IRL or not...?

So I think I'm going to give him a pass on this one. IMHO this is an example of fair comparison rather than a sim war/troll comment: he's in a certain place that's affected by the storm and comparing experiences. Most importantly, he's doing it without judgement.

What I'd be interested in (and may do myself in-sim) is try out the A2A Comanche & FSR500 to see how they handle it. Then I'll give the JF Arrow III with REP and maybe the AFL KA350 a go and see what happens.

Comparisons of facts are good!

That’s the true reality….constantly spending money on add-ons, beta test and more beta tests, troubleshooting, tweaks, server issues, low FPS. A vicious cycle that never ends. 

Kinda like IRL, methinks...
