Please use this thread for feedback and discussion. Thank you!
Please, you should say something about the release date of SU3. Weeks are passing and we still don’t know anything.

Hello @ElSkiel,
SU3 is in ongoing beta testing. The release will be determined based on feedback from the beta, both in the form of player comments on the forums and from the automatic telemetry data we receive. We don’t have a final release date we can share at this time.
Thanks,
MSFS Team

The worst possible thing they could do would be to release a build that’s got significant issues just to get it out for some arbitrary date. Release it when it’s ready, which (at least in my dev teams in my own day job) means when the internal test team is no longer aware of any significant regressions or issues with fixes included in the update, and beta testers are not reporting major new issues with the latest build.

Thanks for the update Seedy. Anything you can share regarding the continuing top wishlist item?
The team will attend gamescon but didn’t find the time to attend fsexpo where the core community was. I understand the financial reality of needing to reach casual players but it still makes me a bit sad. I hope Microsoft can engage at flightsim expos again in the near future.

Still get the infinite load bug with Free Flight and still have to use the LOD lowering workaround with current SU3 beta-did SU2 actually address that as per snapshots, SeedlyL3205?

That sounds vaguely familiar. I wonder if they’ve ever done that before

Excited about the next City Update and Local Legend coming out at gamescon, still no further word about the previously announced Caravelle FF, right?
Still get the infinite load bug with Free Flight in SU2-did SU2 address that as per snapshots, still happens to me and currently have to use the provided LOD lowering workaround which was supposed to fix the infinite load bug with SU3 betas as well as SU2.
I don’t think that’s Asobo’s standards. They did none of that in 2020 SU 16 beta. Didn’t listen to beta testers and still released with serious regressions. The “release when its ready” doesn’t apply here.

The planned release date was already a month ago, and in the last developer stream they mentioned they were aiming for release within the following week. Now, the message seems to have shifted to “it’s in beta and will be released when it’s ready” as if that was the plan all along. If that were truly the case, why announce a specific release date in the first place?
Clearly, something hasn’t gone as planned. It would be helpful to receive more transparency on what went wrong, and what steps are being taken to resolve the issues and deliver the much-anticipated update.
I’d also like to highlight that, since Asobo has chosen not to release hotfixes, this delay is holding back hundreds of minor improvements that could significantly enhance the game’s (currently quite poor) quality of life.

its pretty much pointless now because it takes too long , everybody knows that it can t be a perfect version there will always be more bugs, today was the day for my opinion and the rest for su4.
Unfortunately software isn’t always a case where you can give an accurate estimate in issues. Sometimes one issue reveals a couple more. Sometimes the issue is timing related or resource related, which are hard to replicate and track. They did say “aiming for next week”. Aim implies that is where the target is but you might miss it.

I still think it would be better to release a small bugfix every now and then, instead of big updates. Each bugfix would bring some corrections or repairs that make somebody happy. No further expectations, only this one bug. The other bugs are for other bugfixes. Above all people would see there is something happening. No more waiting for the BIG release.

#83 Panel instrument light in the Asobo C-172 and other planes are not fixed, why do you tell as that you did this, Asobo?
And “other planes“ - the L-39 for example
is still broken - no gauges lighted, GPS screen is too dark and this strange light emission from nowhere illuminates the cockpit. It is 14.08.2025 and your planes are not flyable night time, wake up, Dear Asobo, please.

Can someone explain what this is and how it works?
Flight Planner
- Officially published real-world routes in the menu on the route pane where available
Good one! I just tried this. Enter an origin & destination code then click on save. Above the Route window there is a collapsed section “Suggested routes” that returns a few routes that can be viewed when the window is opened. One may have to refresh the Flight Planner first, give it a try.
