If one does this, make sure you grab the throttle config files from the INI birds to back them up. They are in WASM folder.
August 6, 2025Aug 6 Do they really want everyone who bought 24 to un- and reinstall the complete sim for the official SU 3 ? Or is it simply renaning the Community folder and use a new empty one when installing this beta 23.

The last time I did this, instead of the latest BETA, I ended with a reinstall of the release version. I then had to reinstall the latest BETA. Is this what to expect, or should I expect the newest BETA when I uninstall my current BETA? I don't want to mess things up, as Version 21 has been the best-performing version of MSFS2024 I have experienced. Robin

August 6, 2025Aug 6 I'm the wrong person to ask because I have a vanilla install. Remove 2024 through Windows then reinstall from Windows Store for me. dd Edited August 6, 2025Aug 6 by Sky_Pilot071
August 6, 2025Aug 6 I’m on PC Steam. I just uninstalled the Beta, rebooted my PC, and then re-entered the Beta. Everything is working great so far! I figured it was worth doing this first and if I encountered issues then I would do a clean install.

I’ll do a clean install when SU3 is officially released, unless I encounter before then. But so far so good! Edited August 6, 2025Aug 6 by Gulf76

August 6, 2025Aug 6 I think ill let the sim update and see if i have any issues after that... if so, then a reinstall which only takes a few minutes... being sure to back up my config files etc.... i9 13900KF @ 5.5Ghz | MoBo MSI PRO Z690-A WiFi | Corsair Vengeance Black RGB RS 64gb DDR4 3200MHz | MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Vanguard SOC 32GB | MP33 Pro 1TB M.2-2280 NVME SSD for OS | Samsung 870 QVO 2.5" 4TB SSD SATA2 | Samsung 990 PRO 2TB | Corsair RM1000X 2021 1300W 80 Plus Gold PSU | Antec Dark Fleet DF700 Flux Gaming Case | Win 11 home | Samsung 65" 4K TV | G512 Keyboard | Razer Basilisk V2 Mouse | WinCtrl URSA MINOR 32 Throttle Metal / 32 PAC Metal | WinCtrl Ursa Minor Sidestick |Velocity One Rudder | MiniCockpit FCU and EFIS | WinCtrl MCDU | Stream Deck XL | Tobii Eye Tracker | Pimax Crystal Light | Doug
