Yeah, the AA is terrible, and the performance just isn't there. They were supposed to be launching mid-December, but it's hard to see how this goes live in the state that it's in. 

Maybe they should just take a couple months to fix stuff properly. It's not like people are clamoring for the release; the early adopters like us already have access and anyone can get access if they really want to buy it.

The extra time will also give third party devs more time to get their planes released for XP12. 

Running a monitor at non-native resolution (4k -> 2k) is not really a good idea. It will "work", but it's not going to be as nice and crisp as running at native 2k.

There will be image degradation. Whether you are OK with it or not is up to you, but personally I wouldn't buy a 4K monitor to run at 2K unless you know you can return it. 

3070 Ti on your machine should be able to handle 4K with maybe a couple of settings lowered. 4K is a real game changer so I would say buy the monitor (with return policy), run at native 4K, tweak some settings to achieve good FPS, and then see what's what. 

Yes. MSFS needs to improve the flight model a little, and that's about it. They are continually working on the flight model so I'm sure it will keep getting better till even the real world pilots agree that it's the best. 

But other than that, it's the massive ecosystem that MSFS has created, and their big tent approach of inviting people of ALL skill levels - from kids to pro pilots that is making the difference. If you want to fly study level, you can. If you want to load up a 747 and buzz around NYC - you can. It's nice to have that. 

Interesting to see. He makes great points, and is clearly someone that has tried all the sims for many years (along with being a real world pilot!).

None of the aircraft in this update will be getting Simbrief integration because of rights or something.

I think Navigraph said they'd be looking into making their own addon for it?

Simbrief integration should be coming back. The A310 has it, for example. Embedded charts has to be done by Navigraph, MSFT can't/don't want to build it in directly, likely for legal reasons (if you don't have a Navigraph subscription, should the game then encourage you to buy one? Doesn't make sense. OTOH, you buy a Navigraph sub, they give you a plugin that integrates with the game, done.)

Yes. This is no longer a "mod". This is part of the base game, and as such, they can't just bring in Navigraph charts without some sort of agreement. As long as Navigraph builds a plugin that shows the charts, it should all be the same in the end.

Does anybody know when they plan on implementing the charts sections in the G3000/5000 and CJ4? I miss them. 

Navigraph has said that they are looking into developing a plugin to do this. 

No, nothing major. Small bugs here and there (flight plans don’t get loaded from the planner, door bugs on TBM) but nothing that’s stopping people from enjoying a flight.

This thread goes over it in some more detail.

Are flightplans from the map page being imported into the g3000 now?

No, not yet. That bug has been logged but it wasn't fixed in this update.

FSLTL appears to be my culprit.  1 hour flight into ATL...12 FPS on final.

Yes, FSLTL could be responsible as well. Try reducing the FSLTL settings - lower it by 90% and see if that fixes it.

I thought this was interesting. Google Search Trends from 2004 - Present Day for the term "Microsoft Flight Simulator", worldwide.

.

There was a decade long decline in interest and then in Aug 2020, the search traffic spiked to the all-time high (release day). After that, it's been nice and steady, and we're back up to interest levels comparable to 2009. The spike around 2012 is due to the MS Flight release, but we all know what happened there. 

Microsoft reinvigorated the genre, and it's only getting better. 

Remove GAIST and similar mods and then see. SU11 introduced a SimObject limit and mods will need to be updated to not spawn hundreds/thousands of objects. I had this happen but it went away after I removed GAIST

I have a vague recollection that this is something to do with "Live Wallpaper" or similar apps. Any app that periodically wakes up to change the desktop background does this. Go through what you have installed to see what program is running every few minutes.

Comms? I thought it was the Nav Radios.

Yes, I misspoke. But it’s fixed now anyway 

There's a thread on the official forums where some real world pilots are discussing this. Sounds like it needs a few minor tweaks but is generally quite good.

I'm mostly a GA guy so the PMDG issue won't really affect me. But a fix for that issue has been found (by Asobo as it's an issue in MSFS rather than with the PMDG) and should be available sometime in the next day or so from what I've read in other posts.

Yes, just saw this over on the PMDG forums. Looks like this should be fixed today/soon. 

****UPDATED INFORMATION FOR 09DEC22****
A few moments ago, Asobo advised that the bug causing the nav radio operation and nav radio switching problems in the Beta-MSFS stream has been identified and resolved internally at Asobo. The fix is expected to publish to Beta-MSFS users beginning today, 09DEC22.

Once this fix is propagated to Beta-MSFS users via the MSFS beta update, the issue will self-resolve without any further effort required of the user.

Please note that this fix will come to you as a fix to the MSFS platform, not as a fix to the PMDG 737- it is not a PMDG micro update, but is a platform update from Asobo.

All of us at PMDG would like to thank those of you who worked with us as we tried to identify the issue, and also Asobo for leaping on a fix for the issue so quickly.

My resolve to stay out of MSFS betas is weakening by the day but at the moment I'm still on the fence. Might cave and slip in this weekend though.

It does break the PMDG 737 in a small way - you can't set the comms frequencies manually. If that's important to you, wait for the release. PMDG is working on a fix, but it's likely they will release that only after the beta goes into full release. 

Duplicate post. 

It’s a good beta but not quite ready for release. Some fun bugs - open the door on the TBM in any of the official livelier except the default one, and see what happens 🙂 

I wonder what the next milestone for MSFS will be. I suspect they have some big plans - Jorg spoke of three surprises, and I’m quietly hoping that one is the official liveries. Yes I can go download them but it’s a pain. 
 

another big one is the community gateway like XPlane has.  They had hired some people to work on it last year so I think we’ll see this next year. 

The ignore poster button is the best solution for some things.

I recently switched from P3Dv5 to MSFS2020.  I let it use the default location.  I installed FSLTL and it was working fine but I was having issues with my Prosim737 aircraft.  It wouldn't let me install new liveries telling me "Your organization will not let you put files in this location".  After trying for a couple of days to find a solution I uninstalled MSFS and reinstalled it on my M2 ssd which was really where I wanted it in the first place.  I installed FSLTL but when I click on Start no traffic will appear.  I went on their Discord forum and have tried to get help with this but when I click on Post I get an error message that says "Something went wrong, Try again.  After googling for several days and trying to get a solution to this problem nothing I tried would work.  Is there some other way to contact the FSLTL developers or should I just uninstall MSFS2020, start over and hope for the best?  I also want to mention that I have MSFS running on a 2nd computer with two screens for the left and right views via Wideview.  FSLTL is working fine on that computer, also installed on a separate M2 ssd.

Sounds like the reinstall may have confused the installer when you tried reinstalling FSLTL. Check inside the new Community folder to see if FSLTL actually installed- it may have placed the files in the older community folder.

I'll be impressed if they make the HUD functional on top of all the avionics upgrade.😶  Let's face it, if you're updating the avionics yet leave out the HUD that's a little lack luster. 

The HUD is apparently not fully certified for this plane, so that's why they haven't implemented it. That's what Working Title said on the official forums.

I’m absolutely stoked for 2023. MSFS is really hitting its stride and I can’t wait to see what the next updates bring. The AAU update is just a small taste!
