Any idea when MSFS (Steam version) will be available on Geforce Now?

Really disappointed to see another Thursday update with a whole bunch of nothingā€¦

Would have liked to hear about an estimated release date for the next beta build. Current one is, for me at least, too poor to even test thingsā€¦

Wow, itā€™s been 3 years. 3 years of awesomeness, excitement, and much more. Iā€™ve always spent my free time in this sim. (the amount of time in the sim is embarrassing :sweat_smile:) It only makes me excited for whatā€™s to come.

I remember my first flight still, and how in awe I was with the sim.

And I hope for another awesome 3 years :slight_smile:

Also, congrats @Chewwy94! :partying_face:

IniBuilds Stansted has been updated instant crash on XBox as soon as I tried the update after a restart

Edit : no CTD on second attempt but terrible pop in everywhere / still needs work

Pyreegue EGNX update all seems good canā€™t notice a difference re textures and less issues than before with limited testing this eve so promising

Orbx Melbourne released - disappointing ground textures for a premium price - buildings stuck on terrible blurred textures - only a few roads done - canā€™t recommend it - compared to Pyreegueā€™s products this looks terrible and lazy

No PMDG update either all in all a bit disappointing

Nice update!

More night lighting guff whilst the PMDG 737 has to remain grounded for yet another week for updates released almost 2 weeks ago.

This sim on xbox is just about waiting, waiting and more waiting. Probably spent more time grounded awaiting bug fixes than flying. That some 737max and PW1000G level realism there!

There was a Live Weather Outageā€¦ And you say ā€œthank youā€ for our patience? Why not say sorry and apologize?? SMH

Outages happen, no big deal, and no apology necessary.

I think there needs to be some clarification on the development update.

In particular, when an item is labelled as ā€œPlannedā€ does this mean the fix will be included in FS2020, or that it will be fixed at some date in the future for whichever is the latest version (FS2024, FS2026 . . . ) ?

Also, the term ā€œunder investigationā€ is so vague, I presume this means there is not much chance of it being investigated, planned, started and then implemented before FS2024 is released (and therefore not in FS2020).

I think I am leaving SU13 beta ā€“ my first beta to ever leave, but the stutters are just beyond annoying and awful - every 10 seconds. Itā€™s been like this since the beta launched. Sad and surprised no updates have been sent out to us testers to see if itā€™s fixed.

Itā€™s the WORST.

Many of these items have been sitting there for years, too. I think itā€™s reasonable to expect few to none of them to be addressed in MSFS 2020 unless weā€™re told otherwise. When it comes to major feature enhancements, weā€™re about 9-16 months away from those with the release of 2024.

Why has the ā€˜Save/Load a Flight (including Flight Plan) - MSFS Flight Planner Functionalityā€™ dropped off of the Development Roadmap after July 20th?

I see thereā€™s a city update later today? (CU4), do we know what this is yet?

I expect itā€™ll be announced at Gamescom, MSFS due in just under an hour at the Xbox presentation
