Up to 5 CTDs in this build on a Series X and counting..
Latest A340 taxiing into parking gate at EDDF. Sound went then black screen and CTD. Wham. Also had a CTD loading yesterday - long load time then suddenly back to desktop…. This is definitely one of the most unstable builds for a long time….
Noticed this build big increase in load times and where there used to be a smooth transition to the Home Screen, often on 90% loading there is an ugly 20 or 30s freeze in the movie before Home Screen loads up.
sometimes stuttery behaviour on Home Screen and previous CTDs came when trying to load up a flight - or back out of aircraft failing to load.
The seemingly aimless tinkering with WASM has broken many third party aircraft and sorting the problems out will take many weeks or months to resolve if SU4 is released in this state.
It’s probably one of the biggest steps backward I’ve ever seen in terms of regressions and breakages - it definitely needs some very serious work and improvements if this beta is to ever be got back on track,…how on earth this beta build managed to make it through the gates for users to test, escapes me.
I know I said I was done with 24 until some release notes appeared stating that they’d fixed the freezing on finals problem, but 2020 continues to disappoint with CTDs so here I am, back on 24 and getting a complete freeze (had to dashboard quit kind of freeze) while selecting my arrival into DFFD (I’m not even going to attempt to spell it) about an hour into my flight from Casablanca GMMN in the A20N. I’d go back to SU3, but I’m not a fan of stop motion flying. Maybe I just need to go play Assassin’s Creed or something
Only 2 short 40 minutes flights in C172/G1000. No stutters observed and LOD not bad, but other weird unexpected regressions? Or maybe just undocumented changes? Can’t say.
HUD display no longer shows in external view. I’ve never changed that setting for at least 2 years. . Turn it off and back on it shows in external but also in the cockpit even though it’s turned off for in cockpit. The only way to get it out of the cockpit view is to turn it off for external view also. Not a huge deal just strange that the behavior since 2020 suddenly changed with no explanation. Bug, regression or new intentional behavior? Can’t say.
After the first not so bad flight tried a second flight back to the original starting point without a shutdown and restart. G1000 no longer works properly. After choosing a destination and approach nothing works as it used to. No GPS, no ILS, no LOC or GS. I tried everything I can think of to delete FP, pick new destination, change approach etc. None of the things that used to work, for months, work now. Tuning NAV radio to correct ILS shows no LOC or GS. Turned off AP and landed with no stutters (good!) but lost any kind of ILS guidance (bad!). BTW, G1000 worked perfectly on the first flight.
Kinda of a “whack-a-mole” experience today. No stutters but lots of other previously reliable stuff now seems broken. I’ve flown hundreds of hours with the same plane and same airports as today. No stutters is a good thing but not at the expense of nothing else working. (just my opinion)
I wish I could give more informative beta test feedback. All I can report is what I saw. And it really makes no sense to me. It feels like a lot of previously reliable stuff is not working with this build.
It would be nice if they could fix the XBox performance so that you could end a flight and start a second, third or fourth flights or more without having to restart the sim. The XBox version has a long, long way to go in order to work like a proper application.
If you were to start compiling a list of things that this SU4 build has broken, it would be a long one. Sorting all the regressions out after commercial release is likely to be a mammoth job unless there is a serious and concerted improvement now.
Latest for me last night was a partial load up of the Inibuilds A340 flight displays. I restarted the sim because the load time had been so slow that I figured there was a server issue somewhere- but for me the “registering packages” phase has been excruciatingly slow in this build - so perhaps something else has been broken somewhere. The image shows where the Loading Packages sequence started - looks OK? Thing is this is well into in the second showing of the intro sequence!
Way too much is wrong with this build - if it carries on like this it is unlikely to be well received by many.. getting on for a year after the flawed initial release it seems that the devs have failed to learn many lessons.
