Anybody else getting textures not loading when you pan left or right for a split second with this new build? Notice textures not loading mostly on AI aircraft and ground textures at the airport.

Yes Sir., worst regression for an "update". Made me opt-out SU3 again.

Any testers notice this?

not sure what he's talking about, my controls were always synched. Guess he must have updated something else (drivers?) and now his controls work in sim.

I truly believe that a lot of what’s going on is people not understanding settings and/or not understanding how to set your PC for an update. 
 

I am enjoying .21. My PC is running most settings at High or Ultra. With Frame Generation at 4X I’m getting 152FPS in the Fenix with BeyondATC. AIG traffic models, in dense airports. 
 

These updates are increasingly improving my experience in MSFS 2024.

I agree. This build is working better for me than any previous build and better than 2020 ever did. And I’m powering a Pimax Crystal OG at full native resolution. I don’t get too worked up over some issues that annoy other people such as airport ground traffic. I’m grateful we have a sim this terrific that is only getting  better. And I’m very appreciative of the difficult work and long hours Asobo continues to put into improving a highly complex piece of software. With the incredible amount of data that must be processed, integrated and rendered simultaneously, it’s truly remarkable any of our PC’s can run it.

Yes. And it sometimes unloads the textures immediately when panning away and has to load them again immediately afterward when ‘facing’ that direction again… 😕

Is that default  EIDW Dublin?

Yes, I reported it on the official forums. It was also reported by another user previously.

Yessir, even cockpit textures. Worst beta so far.

I have noticed this too but wasnt sure what the issue was.  Using BATC to inject FSLTL models.  Sometimes I look to the side using Tobii and some Ai are white for a second, before the livery loads in.

You're keen, I'll give you that. Persevering. I like to read your comments on the state of the sim, because they're the truth.  

I just check in every now and then, and so far check straight back out! 

Thanks. I did the return trip to EGLL with MSFS + FSLTL this morning and decided that this is my daily driver from now on, providing by far the most realistic, immersive and smooth experience. Seeing all contrails and lights, sharp textures everywhere, no stuttering... even the ATC worked almost flawlessly despite huge traffic.

On FS2024 I will do one test flight per beta release from now on, enough of this s...

Have you tried setting ‘OffscreenTerrainPrecaching’ to 0 (under enabled) in the user.cfg?

This turns off all precaching and loads everything in.

Did not see it yesterday at FT Amsterdam.

When clicking ESC and you have Drone mode and flying around the airport no issues.

Just deleted the NV Cache and Rolling Cache.

FT Amsterdam : good with normal FPS

RDPresets Rdam : 4-8 FPS and ground textures (lines, objects ) loading slowly

They forgot to include the new fauna, passive aircraft, and vehicle traffic options in VR.  I made a report at the their forums about it.  And, I say forgot because as usual it's VR so they forgot!  Got Xbox taken care of though!

While fixing AutoFPS to account for this new passive aircraft quality setting introduced in 1.5.21.0, I did note that VR memory map appears to have space allocated for this setting in VR too. I haven't actually tested whether changing it directly in memory does the same thing it does in 2D, but that's something I could do if this setting doesn't appear for VR in the settings menu in the final SU3 update, and if it does work I could incorporate the ability to change this setting in AutoFPS.
