They have certainly been busy.. I am looking forward to feedback on Custom Registration implementation.

This concerns me:

Fixed an issue where the tail number of aircraft were not correctly applied

* Special characters can no longer be entered in the tail number field on the aircraft identification menu

That has been my workaround for my custom RV14..
 

 

I noticed the same....hmmm could be bad.

    I think a lot of the issues stem from addons. An internal QA team will test a completely clean install to make sure nothing obvious breaks out of the box. Afterwards it's exactly what the public beta

Wow.. yep that would be a showstopper for me .. I guess ill wait a few days then ?

Nah it's not affecting everyone, seems to be a mod issue perhaps. Find out for myself in a bit...

Saitek X45 HOTAS - Saitek Pro Rudder Pedals - Logitech Flight Yoke - Homemade 3 Button & 8-directional Joystick Box, SNES Controller (used as a Button Box - Additional USB Numpad (used as a Button Box)

Yeah, if you’re having CTDs with addons installed, trying emptying your community folder and test again 

I can’t test myself at the moment, in the middle of a flight 

 

A lot of vegetation changes

First of, a big kudos to the Asobo team for what seems to be a huge list of bug fixes, improvements and new features. They certainly have been hard at work. I personally, don't have any major issues and since I only fly to addon airports and with addon planes, really only noticed about five items that I might notice being different after this update. However, when you combine the list of SU1 and SU2 and all the fixes, I can certainly see why there are so many users having issues. So hopefully, with this update, it will put a major hit in fixing the items that users where having problems with so they can better enjoy the sim.

My short list of items that I am hoping they get to at some point is:
Airport ground lights being too bright and visible from far away
No Airport Beacon light ( or at least one that can been seen from miles away)
Unable to properly configure hardware controllers to feather a twin engine prop

Looking forward to this new Update once its all stable and ready for release.

Just read on the WT Discord that there also are a few items they added that aren't on the list yet. Like... LIDO charts on the G3000 in the Vision Jet!!! 🙂 I am going to join the beta right away!!!

This is the same bug present in 2020.  If you fly near an airport its beacon appears.  But if you haven't flown to another airport yet it won't show until you're close.

Try flying to an airport and then depart and fly 10 or so miles away and then back - it should be visible from much further away this time.

Does the instant pre-flight completion feature enable you to circumvent the walk around? Now that would be useful. 

Thats how I read it. Thinking there will be keystroke command to do it and remove all covers and chalks etc.

Yep, it works like that indeed! I assigned a key to the new control option called QUICK PREFLIGHT, started a flight in the Vision Jet and while standing outside, overseeing everything, I press the key and BAM, cover gone, chocks gone, all gone! 🙂

Fourth attempt. I am done. 

You have failed to understand the meaning of "beta".

Also nice: when you slide the Quick fill slider on the FUEL page in the EFB the amount changes while you drag! No more guessing if you are loading enough: slide the slider, check the amount and when it's enough load 'r up. Small but very nice improvement!
