And what I also like about this update:

On discord they said SU6 beta would come in the „weeks“ after its release. So the „weeks“ are counting. Curious how many I have to wait. And of course what it will bring us … did they mention anything already?

So they ...ked up with SU5 and released the 5.1 beta just to test it and re-release again. Bravo! 👏

This great sim is MOVING FAST ! 🤩

They just need to split the versions. I hope they don’t downgrade pc further to harmonize the poor hardware of the consoles.

I hope there's more to come as the click spot issue in VR is a major regression that they didn't bother fixing during the main beta, seems lessons are not being learnt by this bunch.

Yes the do. If they make this sim geared for the xbox I will simply stop using it. I have already not flown for nearly a month due to the various issues, the main one being the slow cockpit loading that is visible on plenty of content makers YouTube videos. I would have spent 200 on various content from the market place since just before the Tristar release, but I won't at the moment as I consider it a waste. If they want to hand it over to xbox and PlayStation users they can, but they won't get the loyalty and spending that pc users bring.

Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

To the console market mostly, maybe?

I'm not familiar with this ever happening to me and I'm a PC user. Perhaps it's your internet connection? You can download all that stuff to your hard drive though. Whenever I load a plane and get in the cockpit, the whole thing is already loaded...

Nope nothing to do with internet connection, it's a regression issue since SU4 where it wasn't happening before.
