By all accounts there is due another sim update release, 6, in mid September, and I believe its for Dx12, which would really only benefit the XBox users and the PC guys with top flight graphics cards. We all remember the issues P3D had when they introduced Dx12 !!. Can MS & Asobo delay this release please until you have addressed all the issues with the previous release.

Asobo hasnât even confirmed that they will ever bring dx12 to the sim soâŚ
Edit: it appears I was wrong (according to wishlist), although I myself have not heard them give absolute confirmation on dx12 via Q&A if anyone has that, that would be great.

Make this votable! This is the most sensible post Iâve read on the forum in a week!!!
Hell yes. Delay any further feature updates and work through the bugs. Now rather than later.

They will, as they have before. SU5 was effectively time locked by the XBox release date.

They should stop scheduling updates for a specific day. Asobo, release them when they are finished and tested.

Yes, there is a very very need to fix this broken visuals.

DirectX12 is just a rendering system in use for all graphics cards since many years.
There will be no problem when switching to DX12 but only positive things like waaaaay better shading transparency illumination raytracing and so on, and another plus in performance without degrading any graphics-features.
It´s just switching to a moderner DirectX graphics interface for way more options to graphically enhance the flight sim in the future.

Donât worry, like a lot of games there will likely be an option to use either. Also rest assured that performance will always be a priority. This has been stated specifically relating to xbox s.

I wouldnât hold my breath that they will not have issues migrating to DX12. Have you not seen the previous 5 SU? Personally, I wouldnât hold my breath on any updates these guys release. Not one has gone off with issues. Now a couple were not bad but man, I will be super apprehensive when they release a DX12 update.

âMicrosoft has confirmed that Flight Simulator will eventually transition to the DirectX 12 engine.â
Eventually, is far from meaning the next SU or even in the next 3 SUs.
Also OP said âBy all accounts there is due another sim update release, 6, in mid September, and I believe its for Dx12â Not sure how this belief was obtained because it seems to be based on pure speculation.

DX 11 is an interface from 2009, 12 years agoâŚ
We were still using Geforce 9600 GT cards, Obama just got into office, and the
iPhone 3GS was the latest hit on the market.
Surely we can move on by now.

The thing is that this post/request is based on pure speculation⌠we have tons of actual concrete stuff right now to deal with lol.
Hey Iâm with you man, as someone already said: âRelease it when itâs readyâ.

My reply was based on your statement, that âAsobo never confirmed that Dx12 would even come to Fs2020â which is objectively speaking false. Thatâs all I said. It was confirmed multiple times.

Asobo has said so in a statement? Or is this all based on it being added to the wishlist?
Edit: because it being added to the wishlist is not confirmation. Itâs called a wishlist for a reason.
Really? So we now have a âplease go back to su4â topic as well as a âdonât update the simâ topic.
This game has never ever needed an update more then now ffs.
And to be honest, you donât need that new of a gpu to suppert dx12. You canât ask for a game developer to stop a features that only benefit higher end systems. They build games for the present & future. Not for the past.
Itâs the high end systems in this case that suffers the most (as i believe reading this forum). People with lower end systems seem to be genuinely happy with the improved fps.
So, pleasy hurry with a new update. We need to be able to benefit from this new optimizations instead of playing a game designed for low spec pcâs & consoles.

Multiple times. You should try watching some of the Q&A sessions. It was on the dev roadmap for âsummer 2021â many months, which was likely intended to be SU5 and with the Xbox release (itâs already on DX12). But my guess is that they didnât get it done in time. Likely SU6 inSeptember will see DX12.
Itâs right thereâŚ
PS: This isnât the âwishlistâ. This is the actual dev roadmap of what IS coming.
