Thank you.....Fixed jetways not connecting properly
And thank you.... Fixed projected mesh not using the correct texture mips, causing block artifacts on the ground

Every time I read the huge list of fixes of the MSFS2024 updates I ask myself: did all that fail and they decided to put the product on the market?

The simple answer is yes. Absolutely dishonest "team"!

I always ask myself how many are word not allowed of very complex software, and the fact it is never perfect.

While it's very frustrating, I'd rather an active development team constantly improving the software than some who "dump and run".....

I decided to uninstall both MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 last night and reinstall just MSFS2024 even though some of my hardware like PU Korea CDU's need PMDG aircraft to take advantage of them in '24.   And I had all PMDG's aircraft in 2020. Both versions had been original installations from tech Alpha in the case of MSFS2020 and Beta for 2024.

I have to say while I thought having so much of MSFS2024 streamed could be an issue, I had the new installation for 2024 Aviator version up and running plus back into the SU 2 Beta updates in under 20 minutes.  I renamed the Community folders of both sims before uninstalling and then just moved it back in after the new 2024 install was run once and pc rebooted.  I'll miss PMDG aircraft for a while but with work/family/less free-time, short scenic flights exploring the world actually seems quite reasonable.

Agreed - I have re-installed 2024 a few times during beta, absolutely no hassle at all (Steam version).  I did re-install 2020 just for the iFly 737. It took 12 hours, but it wouldn't load so deleted it.

Awesome. A series of SU2 updates is intense! 

They dont touch VRAM this time, but I do hope it is not the end of their effort to make it even better. Probably they do make some refinements but they just don't include it on the list. This update is more to avionics and "electronic". I wonder if the cold and dark start fix only applies to the 737 MAX or to similar bugs in the Bell 407 and the DHC 2

I'm having a pretty major issue with my frame gen in this update.  I run 2 monitors (only 1 is for msfs), and the moment I tab out or move my mouse to the second monitor, I get a lot screen tearing, even after giving monitor 1 (the msfs 2024 one) focus again.

Previously I've been able to return to the main monitor and it syncs again.

I'm also seeing very small artifacts on some of the GUI buttons in the aircraft selection screen

On the positive side, oh my gosh I think they FINALLY fixed airport beacons from not showing until you were basically over the airport!!  This is a huge fix for night flying!

If you can release a beta and making millions from it, why not?

Have you ever bothered to read long list of fixed of your regular OS updates? And you are still using it and don't complain LOL

Did they fix the airplane lights not showing up if you zoom out too far?

Ok stutters and audio popping still prevalent when flying in southern California. Let's get this fixed Asobo. With my system specs and most setting set to high and some medium and shadows set to low, texture resolution to medium and TLOD 50 then to 150 this is not acceptable.

Wake turbulence on AI aircraft is working better. Wasn't mentioned in the notes, but big aircraft were not knocking me around in an earlier patch

As one of the loudest advocates for 2024, I'm coming to the realization that 2024 was not ready for public release. And I can no longer fault anyone who wishes to continue with 2020. With the last update broke my ability to inject AIG traffic and some other addons, I found myself back flying in 2020 where all my addons work. I really missed my Ifly Max, and after a few refresher flights, I rekindled my love for that jet. Now on to the next update and see what that breaks.
