146MB on Steam.

I'm getting better performance and little to no stuttering while panning and changing views after this update. 

They fixed the in-game panels on the top bar, nice.

On my rig with a 4070ti and 64GB 6000 ram, at KMIA prior to today MSI Afterburner reported between 10.8 and 11.1 GB avg VRAM usage and airborne frames at 55-60.  
 

After today’s update MSI Afterburner reported 7.8 to 8 GB VRAM and current airborne frames at 68-70.  No Frame Gen.  TAA and High/Ultra.

I pronounce this a Major Step Forward…at least for me LoL!

YMMV TANSTAAFL

I just opted back into the BETA but its not installing it for some reason. It still says Im on SU1 but Ive enrolled in SU2 BETA

Still no fix for the horrible auto-exposure, renders the sim still pretty much unflyable for me.

Clouds still terrible quality in the difference.

Back to 2020 still.

the su2 update seems to have lowered my mouse look speed

have you tried using the new slider they added?

Edited April 2, 20251 yr by Tuskin38

Wish Asobo would change the MAX cockpit door so it doesn't jump you back outside as that makes setting customs not easy but the fixes in the latest SU2 beta please me-like the 2 ATC related ones, that's more important to me as a big user on the in-game ATC.

make a wishlist/feedback thread on the official forums

I just finished a flight before the new update was released lol. These initial impressions are very encouraging!

Yes it just changes the base level of exposure, nothing that can't be done in reshade, filters etc. It does nothing about the auto-exposure.

Had the same problem with the prior SU2. Even after reboot (as per Ryan's suggestion), it didn't install but finally did after a couple of hours. Just wait a little longer.

Im in. 

 

Im getting crazy stuttering with the panning though. I had this last night in the Fenix in SU1.

I really dont know what to do.
