Aircraft Engines

Turbine Engines

• Added the TURB_ENG_COMMANDED_N1_OVERRIDE_ACTIVE SimVar to enable external control of commanded Ne via TURB_ENG_COMMANDED_N1. See SDK for details.

• Added an optional “delta_commanded_Ne_control” parameter to the [TURBINEENGINEDATA] section of engines.cfg. It specifies whether the first argument of “delta_commanded_Ne_table” represents the condition lever position or the mixture lever position. See SDK for details.

• Added an optional “delta_commanded_Ne_table” parameter to the [TURBINEENGINEDATA] section of engines.cfg. This multi-dimensional table is applicable only when either the “corrected_commanded_Ne_table” or “uncorrected_commanded_Ne_table” parameter is used, and defines a correction to corrected or uncorrected commanded Ne, respectively, as a function of condition or mixture lever position and throttle lever position. See SDK for details.

• Added an optional “uncorrected_commanded_Ne_table” parameter to the [TURBINEENGINEDATA] section of engines.cfg. When specified, this table defines the target uncorrected N1 for turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft engines as a function of throttle lever position. When omitted, the existing behavior remains unchanged to preserve backward compatibility. See SDK for details.

• Added an optional “corrected_commanded_Ne_table” parameter to the [TURBINEENGINEDATA] section of engines.cfg. This multi-dimensional table allows corrected commanded Ne to be explicitly tuned as a function of pressure altitude, inlet Mach number, and throttle lever position. For turbojet and turbofan engines, it represents the target corrected N2. For turboprop and turboshaft engines, it represents the target corrected N1. When omitted, the existing behavior remains unchanged to preserve backward compatibility. See SDK for details.

• Added an optional “full_throttle_commanded_n1” parameter to the [TURBINEENGINEDATA] section of engines.cfg (for turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft engines). When specified, this parameter also overrides “high_n1” for consistency and modifies the engine-speed control law for turboprop and turboshaft engines so that it controls actual N1 instead of corrected N1. When omitted, the existing behavior remains unchanged to preserve backward compatibility. See SDK for details.

EFB

• Fixed the value of “is post boarding”. It was retrieving the values of all cabin services while it should only get the one of the passenger boarding service

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.

• Replaced “No Skip Bonus” with “Skip Cost” in mission reward screen and change how it is calculated

• Added more missions available at night in live weather and live time.

• Removed the console command “DebugAircraftSimDimensions” and the corresponding DevMode window “Debug/Aircraft/Sim Dimensions”. The tool relied on legacy visualization of aircraft geometry based on simplified primitives and a Legacy vs Modern FM comparison that did not accurately represent force and moment differences and could lead to misleading interpretation of debug data.

Edited 5 hours ago5 hr by vbazillio

I did wonder what I was downloading when I fired it up, let the "lets see what they've broken this time" fun & games commence!

FFS why do I have to update the sim as soon as they release an update instead of staying on the old version? Knowing this will break a whole bunch of stuff that will take a few days to fix.

I miss P3D sometimes.....

It's not a beta, this is the actual Sim Update release.

I've opted out of beta. No choice but to update if you want to run the sim.

"During the public beta of Sim Update 6, we tested AMD FSR 4 (upscaling and frame generation). For the final release of SU6, we reverted to FSR 3 due to incompatibility between FSR 4 frame generation and rendering to multiple windows. We are working in collaboration with AMD to fix this issue in a future Sim Update. Note that FSR 3 is the same version of AMD FSR that was used in Sim Update 5.1."

This is concerning considering how well the beta FSR 4 upscaling worked ( with a 9070XT) when coupled with the Adrenalin 4.1.1 driver upgrade during the beta. I know they could not get the frame gen aspect to work but to do a full roll back to fsr 3 ... hmm not great.

Oh well i guess back to optiscaler and nvidia dlss spoofing. A shame ... because if you were on an Amd 90XX card in the beta and the FSR4 upscaling was properly configured + the driver based 4.1.1 was active it was smear free on the glass cockpit.

None of my addons were broken during the beta.

Only addon that I know of that was broken was Chaseplane, but the devs released an update to fix it.

You don't have to deliberately misunderstand what I'm saying...

"This feature on this new vastly sim is not as good as this exact feature on the older sim" doesn't have to be met with "if you're not happy, go back"

Yeah that's a shame as I was reading good things from the beta, but it is unlike Asobo to retract something that's not fully working before releasing to the public when's it's probably broken. So it sucks but it could be a good decision, trouble is if their history of working with nVidia is anything to go by then it'll be a long road (see the DLSS Glass Screens issues they never got to the bottom of and the laughable Q&A excuses).

I honestly have no idea if P3D is still around which is why I asked as you made it sound like it wasn't an option any more. But .......

Because it’s a GaaS, it’s always connected unlike P3D. For a multitude of reasons this works out better for everyone involved.

This is the case with any MMO-esque game.

Based on the 50 pages of notes, it would be foolish to call SU6 a nothig update.

Looking forward to it and especially the bush trips.

Following community feedback, we added an option to start a flight without a walkaround in “Free Flight” mode. Find this new option in the assistance settings.

Happy to try out this option.

So with SU 6 does this mean that with DLSS 4.5 that Nvidia 4000 series GPU users have access to x3 / x4 frame gen?

Im trying to figure out what the plus of having DLSS 4.5 means?

Thanks in advance
