2 weeks since initial SU16 beta launch and no more patches?

What is going on with SU16?
The initial patch was pretty light and broke the scenery with trees now in coastal waters everywhere and since then nothing?
I also note it is over a week since the last 2024 SU3 patch.

Hopefully something today or tomorrow, especially for SU16.

I was also expecting a new build this week. Maybe it will come early next week? There are a lot of adjustments to be made but I’m happy with the progress.

Haven’t started beta testing SU 16 as WASM apparently not working in the first build of the beta. For me that’s a red line as I have a stack of aircraft in my collection that rely on WASM. It can’t be progress to have a beta without WASM as that effectively is a reversion to SU12. We know WASM affected lots of aspects of MSFS2020 behaviour so without it included I’m not sure we will learn much. Once that’s fixed I shall start beta testing.

I agree, the litmus test of this beta will be the WASM. I can only help with what I have, which are more simplified and accessible aircraft for my level of knowledge.

This is about SU16 Beta not SU3 Beta. Just FYI

I stay on the release version because the change that thing been broken with the beta and the low development effort is great. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I am sad to admit that both 2020 and 2024 are in a generally bad state. They honestly should not have introduced 2024 without refining and improving 2020 first. A 2026 release for the current 2024 game would have been perfect.

Will we have a new build this week?

I just got an update, version 1.39.2.0 but no changelog yet…

Have they fixed WASM?

I didn’t have WASM issues in 1.39.0.0, so can’t tell.

Wasm fixed!

Seems too little after such a long wait. Hopefully is just missing some text.

I confess I expected more too! :smiley:

Yes I hope there is a bit more than this after nearly 3 weeks.
Only had time for one quick flight around London.
Anyone know if they fixed the trees around coastal waters bug?

Yep, this build is good but the water artefacts are still a problem.

Please Asobo, don’t break 2020. I depend on 2020 until 2024 is sorted. It is my goto simulator and I get really good results in VR. I even prefer the scenery textures to the washed out 2024 version. Performance is also so much better. Fingers crossed!

Beta 1.39.2.0 is really a small patch and nothing fancy. :smirking_face:
