Broken | Freelook Mouse Control / DFW Issues / DX12 Tile Bug

I am concerned again that things that are apparent bugs, for more than a year in some cases, are not getting addressed by the development team. I see constant additions to the platform, which is excellent. But there is some low-hanging fruit that continues to plague the user experience, and even after the last development update, we saw some promises on a separate button to turn on or off the Freelook function that broke when Xbox was launched; we have yet to see or have had a further update on this.

Then, we look at introduced features, like the bespoke KDFW that has been broken for months. Being the largest airport in Texas, it has a broken terrain, morphing satellite imagery, and more bugs that I even made a video on to show what users like me are seeing. Then, it isn’t addressed or brought up again in the development update.

Finally, DX12 has had a pesky problem with scenery tiles bleeding through. This is an obvious occurrence that has plagued any DX12 user. As DX12 is now the only way to utilize frame generation, it isn’t an optional feature for some. It is something that many of us use and rely on. It is as essential as having anti-aliasing. Yet again, it does not get addressed.

Why does it feel like we spend 80% of the workforce adding new features to the sim? Yet we can’t seem to take 5% of the workforce to address the blatantly obvious issues? These issues constantly occur, and we are concerned that they never get addressed.

I feel your pain!
The last comment Jorg made about DFW was that a “fixed” DFW wouldn’t come until end of 2023 or 2024. I have some opinions on what’s causing the issue, but nothing to back it up, so I’ll just wait it out.
I don’t use DX12, so when there was a brief discussion about it in today’s dev’s livestream I didn’t pay much attention, but I do remember there being some discussion about when/if DX12 was ever going to be out of “beta”. The video should be on YouTube fairly soon if you want to check it at some point.
I don’t have the issue with the freelook, and I don’t remember if there was anything in the beta release notes about it, but I guess the actual SU13 will be out tomorrow, so I guess we’ll see if it’s “fixed”.

KDFW is broken by the photogrammetry of Dallas. To fix that, they have to rescan and replace the TIN, which is not easily done I suppose.

So, are we saying they can’t exclude photogrammetry from a specific area? I am certain they do, as it is one of the main tools in the developer tools. Additionally, if this were the case, then turning oh Photogrammetry would fix the issue. But it doesn’t.
