Should it be on next Tuesday, 29th of July? Based on the latest developer twitch. I certainly hope so...

I just hope it’s stable.  I have no plans on going to 24 for a while because, for me at least 2020 is so incredibly stable.

I have been using the SU16 Beta since release.  Stability is not an issue, and many small, subtle yet noticeable changes have been made.  To those that wait good things come as the saying goes. I believe the waiters will be well pleased.

I really hope that SU16 surprises me.

I'm running the beta (v1.39.9.0). MSFS 2020 has never been better. I run both the Frame Gen and AutoFPS mods, I have rBar turned on, and my average fps is 45/50 everywhere, including EGLL, EGKK and EHAM. Here are my specs,

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 4.2 32 gig ram, Nvidia RTX3060 12 gig, Intel 760 SSD M2 NVMe 512 gig, M2NVMe 1Tbt (OS) M2NVMe 2Tbt (MSFS), Crucial MX500 SSD (Backup OS). VR Oculus Quest 2 Windows 11 24H2

As you can see, not tremendously powerful. Take a look:

they're aiming for the 29th

Unfortunately this " update" seems to have messed up the Map Enhancement tool that 512 High LOD textures do not work anymore ( confirmed by the developer).

Maybe Asobo caught on to this and decided to drop the hammer down 😞 

Maybe that was the cause of all the server issues the pop up from time to time . the extra LOD textures overloading their servers

Map Enhancement tool ver 82.11.0 work with SU 16

Maybe the MSFS2024 map that SU16 is getting is already at higher resolution.

 

I noticed that a bit when testing 

I've been struggling with the map enhancement.  Although it delivers higher clarity at distance, it also makes the entirity of the UK a dry, yellow colour (which it is at the moment, but not normally).  It also makes Cape Town a dry desert surrounded by a distinct line of green terrain.  

I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be, but it isn't really worth the trade off.  

I'm guessing MSFS 2020 corrects the colour, and MSFS 2024 applies seasonal colours?

The Map Enhancement Tool was updated yesterday to version v8.2.12.0 to be compatible with SU16 beta. I'm not in the beta, but I hope all eventual issues are fixed with this update.

I thought this update was supposed to include the new Bing Maps like 2024 has . If so, why would anyone use Map enhancment tool?

Well it does utilize the new maps so perhaps the enhancement tool will become  obsolete.
