General SU5 Beta Feedback Thread

It seems to me that the EC-135 helicopter has received an update.

:helicopter:

Unless this is due to some change of my graphics settings, it appears that the windscreen has been significantly de-snotted, and I no longer need to reduce Raymarched Reflections below HIGH for a good view. There are still some scratches, and what appears to be some distortion around the sharpest bend in the glass, but this is what I would actually expect to see in the real world.

Last time I checked out the EC-135, I seem to remember that it required a pronounced left-bank attitude to fly in a straight line, which seemed excessive. This is no longer the case.

I just found myself really enjoying a flight with this aircraft, something that wasn’t happening before the update.

However, I am not a real-world chopper pilot, and just because I now find the EC-135 ā€œnicerā€ to fly doesn’t necessarily mean it has become more realistic. Thus, I’d be interested in the opinions of people who actually know something about helicopters.

Hi Cuckoo, I’ve got the same cpu & gpu as you & am not getting the mini freezes or tearing, I think you’d get better help from filling in the Bug Reporting Hub/Performance & Graphics category - [READ FIRST] About the Install, Performance & Graphics category - #2 (hope that link is correct!)

Also even here in General Feedback give us all a bit more info - In the air or on the ground, where? Default scenery & planes? Clear or bad weather? Then what your own sim-settings are (not every single one though) - med/high/ultra etc?

One other thing is to try again a different day, or even just hours later, as sometimes the servers might be loaded with users (I’ve read in here that we are fed from different servers than people using SU 4)

hope all that helps a bit!

Tested.

  • Deleting streamedpackages folder and content.xml
  • Repair the game through Xbox app
  • Unninstalling it and installing again

Same result, CTD while loading at 6 or 7% (Activating packages)

Known issue. There is already a thread about it here:

Any advice? Im fed up of fs2024…

Is anyone else having a problem accessing the Navigraph FAA Sectional Charts from the in-game Navigraph panel? The FAA charts seemed greyed out and nothing happens when I click on that line. Not sure if this is an SU5 beta issue or not.

If the stuttering appeared in the SU5 beta and does not occur in SU4, that would indicate a regression. In that case, it would be best to create a new topic and report the bug in the forum section linked below.

A330-200 keeps turning off autopilot on it’s own? Anyone else?

am I the only one who sees more electricity pylons?

I’ve reported a related bug here

Had a excellent flight today from Pisa to Heathrow in the a320. Very smooth from start to finish. The view of the alps through the cloud cover was spectacular.

I was not around to update to the latest SU5 beta update the other day when it came out so tried to do that today and there is a major outage on the Xbox servers that are preventing updates. This is also happening on another game I have on the Xbox Game Pass PC app. I don’t see anyone else posting anything about this but Xbox support tells me this is real. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am in Spain so that might decide which server I am attached to. For me MSFS 2024 is a brick right now. I reinstalled the Xbox app hoping that would cure it and it seemed like it might but then all downloads halted again.

I noticed what I thought were more power transmission towers, but wondered if it was only me…

I always fly in my homeland (Sicily) and lately I’ve noticed many more pylons during landing (which actually exist) so they are definitely implementing this aspect… even if at night they are not illuminated (in reality they are) and sometimes depending on the light they lose making it not seem like a bug…

Agreed. Current build is the worst of the current beta builds for me. Not inherently more stuttery for me, just lower frametimes in general (which leads to stutters when I don’t have enough headroom anymore).

I also noticed a less fluidity than before during fast camera movements; that’s undeniable. We’ve seen better…

Regarding the fps, before the latest build I had no drops in fps, now I have lost 15\20 … in my opinion these are tests that make you optimize…

Friendly reminder.
If you’ve downloaded and installed everything you could, don’t forget to head over to Marketplace → My Library and grab updates.

Fly safe :airplane:

Anyway, the ship trails aren’t visible… I don’t know if it’s a beta bug or not…

that’s been an issue with live ship traffic since launch.
