From Xbox Series X perspective - beta tester- my thoughts on SU 10 are:
SU9 broke MSFS on Xbox -very badly. The beta releases since - and final SU 10 release have fixed the performance issues. The sim is super smooth and fluid. It’s a fantastic experience to fly.
There are still way too many CTDs though - mainly affecting third party add ons - but not always. There is still work to be done here. I’m encouraged for the future of the sim on Xbox though - we’ve got the Black Box Islanders and Trislanders, we’ve got the Hjet and now we’ve got the Cessna 414. They all work brilliantly with SU10. As does the Carenado PC12. The vessel packs add ons are also working as they should.
Loading times for MSFS have also been improved drastically.
The two aircraft I experienced the most CTDs with on beta were the Hjet ( Perhaps not unexpected given it’s level of complexity) and the stock A320neo - which did surprise me a bit. I don’t normally fly the airliners - but a lot of us do and the worst possible scenario for a CTD is taxiing into the ramp after a good landing - it seems to be a rule that the timing of CTDs are judged by an AI gremlin to ruin your day. So the Xbox CTD problem WIP but it still needs some urgent work as SU10 doesn’t solve the issues.
I don’t bother with third party airports as that seems to me to be where the majority of the Xbox CTDs occur - so I didnt bother testing any I’m afraid
There is still a lot of work to do in this area as anyone on Xbox purchasing a third party add on is absolutely entitled to obtain a product that works. We shouldn’t have to keep reminding MS/Asobo of consumer rights in this area, the issues must be fixed.
But overall thanks are due to the dev team for giving us a super fluid experience on Xbox series X - I can see a lot of hard work has been put into these updates as the beta progressed.
I can also see from users not enrolled on the beta, the normal glitches and exceptions that go with a major update - hopefully most of these issues will sort themselves out - those of us enrolled on the beta were given a seamless and smooth transition as we already had the production release installed - same as the final beta.
And there will be a number of minor bugs and issues left of course but for me, a smooth and fluid flight experience is the most important aspect of MSFS and SU 10 excels in that area on the Xbox Series X. I hope the majority of PC users are experiencing that level of performance too.
I want us all to get to a point where we don’t dread - or suffer high levels of apprehension - when update day comes around. It shouldn’t ever be like that.
