New Content and Features

• Guided Tours are now available within their own section from the Activities menu.

Stability & Performance

• Fixed crash when attaching debugger in main menu with AllowDebugger

• Fixed rare random crash when raytraced shadows are enabled

Glass Cockpits

Garmin G1000 NXI

• Fixed some cases where loading an approach into a flight plan could lead to the flight path calculated for the plan to be incorrect.

• Fixed keypad entry of xxx.x25 and xxx.x75 COM frequencies when 8.33 kHz spacing is enabled.

Garmin G3000 / G5000

• Fixed some cases where loading an approach into a flight plan could lead to the flight path calculated for the plan to be incorrect.

Garmin G3X Touch

• Fixed some cases where loading an approach into a flight plan could lead to the flight path calculated for the plan to be incorrect.

Garmin GNS 430/GNS 530

• Fixed some cases where loading an approach into a flight plan could lead to the flight path calculated for the plan to be incorrect.

UNS-1Ew SBAS-Flight Management System

• Fixed an issue where the estimated time enroute would never be calculated for the active leg

Avidyne IFD550/IFD540

• Fixed a bug where CDI was sometimes invalid when activating an approach without a direct to.

• Fixed the CDI data block showing incorrect DTK during transitions between legs.

• Fixed the TO WPT data block showing incorrect DTK.

Aircraft Tech

• Fixed uncontrolled RPM acceleration of disengaged turbine engines via FREEWHEELING_UNIT_ENGAGED SimVar. Engine RPM is no longer updated internally while disengaged and can be controlled externally via GENERAL_ENG_RPM SimVar.

• Updated FREEWHEELING_UNIT_ENGAGED to use one-based engine indexing and index 0 for all engines.

Model Behavior

• Fixed typos in ASOBO_Bool_Visibility_Parameters. When rebuilding a package with the lastest version of the behaviors, update usages as follow:

  • Replaced VISIBILTY_IE_VARIABLE with VISIBILITY_IE_VARIABLE

  • Replaced VISILITY_L_VARIABLE with VISIBILITY_L_VARIABLE

Modular Aircraft

• Fixed default dynamic parameter value for preset and common panel.cfg VPainting definition. When no override has been provided in the livery.cfg the dynamic parameter value will now use the locally defined value in the DynamicParameters section instead of not replacing the parameter. While this lets the developer correctly provide a default VPainting color and allow override in the livery this could change the default color from white to the specified one if a configuration was specified (as it was previously unused)

Missions

Medevac

• Fixed the holdshort marker position after a reroute

Airports

Bespoke Airports

• Fixed Mast lights not removed on some beskope airports

Virtual Reality

• Fixed the “global rendering quality” sub-menu from the Virtual Reality panel not being accessible.

Peripherals

Various Peripheral Fixes

• Fixed T.Flight Hotas 4 and T.Flight Hotas 5 (PS4 compatibility mode) showing unused inputs by the peripheral in hardware and action settings.

DevMode

Project Editor

• Fixed “Save as” option not working properly.

Scenery Editor

• Fixed invalid object type kept selected when switching to regular scenery edition.

• Added a movement sensitivity threshold to gizmo movements to avoid unwanted microscopic movements while clicking on the gizmo

• Fixed drag and drop issues, especially when trying to drag an unselected object

SDK

SimConnect

• Fixed O/I variables not able to be queried if the target component is defined in the interior or exterior model instance instead of an attachment.

• Added ability to scope O:PATH:TO::VARIABLE to a specific attachment by alias using the syntax O:PATH:TO:COMPONENT@alias:VARIABLE, interior can be targeted using the alias interior, exterior using the alias exterior

SimVars

• Added SIMVAR_TITLE to the list of supported simvars for FakeSim. This allows the identification of the NPC planes when querying data using SimConnect_RequestDataOnSimObjectType

• Added Simvars WEAR_AND_TEAR_OVERSTRESS_FACTOR and WEAR_AND_TEAR_OVERSTRESS_DAMAGE_RATE

Exporter Blender

• Added blender scenes in Shared Assets.

Documentation

• SimVars: New hydraulic system SimVars have been added to the documentation - HYDRAULIC COMPONENT LIQUID QUANTITY, HYDRAULIC COMPONENT LIQUID QUANTITY RATIO, HYDRAULIC COMPONENT PRESSURE, HYDRAULIC LINE INPUT SIDE LIQUID QUANTITY, HYDRAULIC LINE INPUT SIDE LIQUID QUANTITY RATIO, HYDRAULIC LINE INPUT SIDE PRESSURE, HYDRAULIC LINE OUTPUT SIDE LIQUID QUANTITY, HYDRAULIC LINE OUTPUT SIDE LIQUID QUANTITY RATIO, HYDRAULIC LINE OUTPUT SIDE PRESSURE

• Fix for malformed debug info links.

• Fixes for offline docs:

  • 404 page formatting fixed.

  • external links fixed so they now correctly open in a browser.

• Links have been fixed to split correctly and not overrun pages on lower resolution.

• Blender + 3DS Max: New cubemap and reflection options for Windshield material added to modelling documentation (Cubemap Reflection Masking and Screen Space Reflection Intensity).

• SimVars: Fixed error where LIQUID DROPPING TANK PCT FULL VOLUME and LIQUID DROPPING TANK PCT FULL WEIGHT were flagged as read-only when they are actually settable.

• Fixed an error where the parameter always_execute_model_behavior was flagged as obsolete.

• The page on creating aircraft thumbnails has been fixed to reflect the correct setup for non-modular aircraft.

• Liquid dropping system page information has been updated to flag the “Name” hashmap keys as not required.

• Simvars:

  • New SimVar TURB ENG COMMANDED N1 OVERRIDE ACTIVE has been added

  • Other related SimVars have had their descriptions updated (TURB ENG CONDITION LEVER POSITION, TURB ENG COMMANDED N1, TURB ENG THROTTLE COMMANDED N1)

• Multiple new parameters to provide additional flexibility in defining commanded N - making turbine engine speed laws easier and more precise to tune - have been added to the engines.cfg documentation: full_throttle_commanded_n1, corrected_commanded_Ne_table, uncorrected_commanded_Ne_table, delta_commanded_Ne_table, delta_commanded_Ne_control

I guess these are good fixes and sdk updates, but really wondering when will new features be added in SU updates? Most people seem to be getting pretty good performance and VRAM use has improved. Been a long time since new features it seems. Glad for the updates but been a long time since there was an exciting or major immersion changing improvement / feature. I also wonder, will there be an MSFS 2028? or is the plan to just keep gradually updating MSFS 2024? Just wondering what the next major / groundbreaking improvements / features are coming or if that is being held back for the next edition of MSFS. What thoughts do you have?

I think the correct answer is basically 'it's hard to say'...

They have added new features for developers in Su6, which is good for everyone.

As for focusing on new features, they keep saying they're waiting until all the major bug fixes are done.

It was originally only going to be the first 3 or 4 updates to fix the mess from release according to Jorg, but here we are on update 6 and they're still fixing that alongside having to fix regressions from the previous 5 updates (they'll never learn). Troublesome LOD issues still remain, texture steaming is an over the place, performance is still hit and miss depending on each players system and gaming scenario etc etc.

Hopefully, fingers tightly crossed, that SU7 onwards we start to see actual proper progression of this simulator - starting with the weather, but I would not be surprised if they announced the "Next Title" within the next year!

I'm looking forwared the the cockpit panning stutter fix, if it ever comes.

we can agree on that.

and the holes everywhere. SYD and ALC to name 2

It might have been voices in my head but I seem to remember Jorge saying in the last live stream that although new features would appear, bug fixing would dominate the majority of this year's SU's.

I seem to remember experiencing an inward groan when I heard this as for me and no doubt many others, the weather in all it's aspects should now be front and centre.

Yeah don't get me wrong I love the bug fixes but they do themselves no favours with the constant regressions, which equates to more time fixing bugs they introduce hence this cycle is dragging on.

I'm not overly confident of any weather changes going on the last Q&A where they did the usual "what bugs?" and shrugged it off, but I live in hope!

No more charts in the default EFB, anyone?

Same here! None in the EFB or in the PMS GTN 750!

From the official forum: It’s been reported in a dedicated thread on this forum as well as Working Title has acknowledged that they’re aware, so I expect it will be resolved in a future beta build.

In the meantime I'm using the msfs flightplanner charts.

this is the first build ever since I started to enter the public beta process which constantly crashes MSFS2024. Sometimes when the first inital loading screen comes up (when the seconds are counted bottom right), giving me a meaningless error message (funnily enough when I start via XBOX app that does not happen). but latest after flying about 30-60mins the sim locks or causes a hard crash/CTD. happens with any of my planes, 3rd party but also Asobo planes. Will skip flying now until the next beta comes....

That's simply crazy about your issues. Since the release of the last beta update, I've flown over a dozen flights using 3rd party aircraft. Mostly PMDG and Fenix and SWS. Not one issue or drop in performance and I've flown anywhere from 1.5 hours up to 5-hour flights. I also have AIG on with PG always on, live wx. Apparently, something in your system has gotten corrupted. Have you tried going back to the stable 2024 release and see if you still get the CTD's? Hope you can figure things out.

This is the most aggravating issue for me.
