I went to adjust my Tobii settings as they seemed a little sensitive and no hardware settings are available for any controllers.

I cannot change sensitivities.  Anyone else experiencing this? I tried via top menu access to controllers and also via ESC and Settings

Ah the monthly ritual

1. Learn of a new MSFS 2024 beta on Avsim

2. Fire up said MSFS 2024 beta. 

3. Stutter, stutter, crackle, crackle.

4. Fire up MSFS 2020.  

5. Enjoy.  

Shock horror, installs a new beta release and finds it has bugs...

Obviously doesn't understand that beta releases aren't free previews but works in progress and that the purpose of joining a beta program is to help the developers find bugs and make improvements, not being able to boast about being KEWL by having tried the newest release and criticising it for... having bugs.  If you're not prepared to accept that the software will have flaws and help the developer correct them, don't sign up.

Those simply reporting bugs seem in the majority here.  As they should and is expected with regard to any Beta.  Those expressing shock/horror/offence are a minority to be found on most lengthy threads on any subject. Nothing remarkable. Just the far end of the chronically disgruntled bell curve. 

Re: the WASM issues, looks like it's a bug and not something aircraft devs need to react/adapt to. This bug was logged yesterday and an Asobo dev has responded that a fix is being worked on: https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/t/su4-beta-1-6-3-environment-variables-e-are-broken/16633/2 . I see Raul of FSReborn chimed in there too.

That said, not sure if this is the complete story on the current issues effecting some WASM aircraft.

I just realized after going off the runway and into a building that SU4 has completely screwed up the brakes lol.

Honestly, I think it’s safe to say they’re using AI for coding because how on earth do you mess up the brakes? Even the landing lights don’t work on most planes.

The lights were fixed in today's patch, and I've personally had no issues with aircraft brakes.

The current issue is betas are not supposed to introduce new game breaking issues preventing users from beta testing in the first place, many VR users can't do anything because the mouse simply doesn't work which is a major issue not a small one that would be expected.

Something that should've been dealt with before it was released to the public, but this is Asobo and they a have a very different approach to betas the likes of which I have never seen before in countless betas for other games/simulations.

For every person that doesn't understand how public betas are supposed to work, there's another that doesn't understand how public betas are supposed to work 🙂

FYI, 0.4.5.6-test13 is now available here, which now works with the SU4 Beta.

Deep respect and gratitude for how fast you get on top of things!

Maybe they prefer the SpaceX approach? "Throw it out there, crash and burn, make a few tweaks, throw it out there, crash and burn a bit more, make a few tweaks......etc"

You are 100% right, the problem with MSFS is that the current version doesn't work well either and people join the betas out of desperation.

In 20 years of gaming I never felt the need to join beta testing or even participate to a videogame discussion forum, except for FS.

That's probably bad for me as my 4080 is already maxed in SU3 lol.  I get resource messages constantly at payware airports with payware aircraft.  I hope they are also optimizing VRAM usage.

Honestly, I can’t see how it is bad when the software uses all available resources. Doesn’t mean that it needs more resources but just uses resources that are available better. Previously, my 5090 was sitting at around 70% utilization but FPS were only at 30 in VR. Now at least this insanely expensive piece of hardware gets used and FPS are at 40+ in the Fenix on large airports.

The resource message is about VRAM running out. And that is the last thing you ever want happening.

Sorry, but I have never talked about VRAM as this is (fortunately) never an issue with the 5090. I talked about GPU utilization which is much improved.

Your point is correct! but for guys like me, with an OCD tendency towards being energy savvy, I start getting nervous when the blades spin faster and the temps get higher, one of the main reasons why (maybe 90% the reason why) I play more often FS 2024 than X-Plane 12, because X-Plane 12 pushes more intensely for the CPU and GPU...

These betas seem to be coming out very quickly.  Practically one per month.  Seems pretty quick to me but I don’t participate in them.  For those that do, has these frequent beta releases been standard for ASOBO?

This is the whole point of the betas. Get it out there first and let the community test it. If people want something stable and don’t want to help the MSFS team test the beta, they can stay on SU3.

One key difference between MSFS and SpaceX is that MSFS is a game, whereas SpaceX explosions has safety ramifications for the real world. MSFS can afford to be more aggressive with their testing, SpaceX cannot.
