Thanks for this week’s update. Do we have a date for when SU3 is going to public? Just considering the latest updates were relatively small :slight_smile:

Hello @MuTe0794,

We haven’t yet announced the date for the final SU3 (MSFS 2024) and SU16 (MSFS 2020) releases. The team is very closely tracking feedback and analyzing the automated telemetry data received from those players enrolled in the betas. We will release SU3 and SU16 once the devs are confident they are ready.

The panel of Jorg, Seb, and Martial might have more to say about this during next week’s Developer Livestream, so be sure to tune in (or watch the VOD) if you are able.

Thanks,
MSFS Team

When will this go live on Xbox? Can’t seem to see any of the marketplace items especially the A350 cabins

fspackagetool.exe instead of compiling it launches the sim. Launcher need to be fiixed? SDK will be updated ?
thanks :slight_smile:

The EFB is still inop with a controller for Xbox. SU3 is still not ready IMO. It’s concerning that it’s still not fixed as of 1.5.17.0

I have an actual mouse but i really don’t want to use it any longer.

Hello @Hasheminia,

Have you tried restoring your gamepad controller profile to its default settings and then re-creating any custom controls you had setup? I believe the EFB issue should already be fixed in SU3, but custom control profiles created in SU2 or earlier do not work properly.

Thanks,
MSFS Team

Sorry if I sound a bit rude. English isn’t my native language, but …Seriously? Are you making the PC24 available for rent? …How about you fix the huge amount of bugs this particular plane has first?
In any case, prepare for a ton of complaints from those players who use an Xbox controller (PC and Xbox), because for over two months now, since Sim Update 2 came out, this flying brick has been completely unusable, since it’s impossible to control the throttle with the default keybinds (A & B buttons), and remapping controls doesn’t work either.

There is already a bug report that is not even logged…

On the positive side, I think the work done on the performance issues is pretty good. And I play on a humble RTX 3070 (SU3 beta, 60fps, 1080p, mix of High-Ultra, FSR3 FG on), so sometimes I don’t understand people with better setups than mine complaining about not being able to hit 200fps at 4K and such. I think you should stop allocating so many resources to tackle performance issues and give the aircraft themselves (like this pc24) a little more love, because there are some of them that need some attention.

The A350 cabin packs got pulled by Inibuilds on Tuesday, this is sloppy reporting from Asobo

I can’t restore controller profile to default. Plus there’s no mention of a fix for the issue in any of the chagelogs for SU3 Beta. The last fixes for the EFB was on June 13th.

Any chance of a feedback snapshot that isn’t 6 weeks out of date?

Really? I mean, you make Roblox look respectible now.

The cabin packs were pulled from Xbox Marketplace as the A350 on Xbox doesn’t (and isn’t intended to ever) have a cabin due to performance concerns. The list published in this update is incorrect.

The backlog numbers are getting pretty concerning here honestly… For instance, last week the “aircraft” category showed 80 in MS Processing and now it’s 82… Something really needs to be done about some of these “developers” (who are buying a 3D model and then slapping the default flight dynamics on it) that are seemingly getting planes released every single week. Can’t there be some type of restriction that says you can only submit a max of 1 or 2 planes per week?

Also, why are we still not getting a glimpse into the backlog numbers for MSFS 2024? We’re something like 8 months since launch and we really have no idea what’s going on in the marketplace right now.

And lastly, unrelated to marketplace, but please give us some new planes in career mode already or communicate with your customers about why we’re 8 months in and many default planes still aren’t flyable in career mode. I stopped playing career mode altogether several months ago because flying a broken 737 max is no fun and then flying the same planes over and over is just plain boring.

mscenery is also sale on other marketplace like simMarket …

Next Week Stream …

787, 747, A310 is already enable for career but still lock behind Heavy certification because A330 have a issue need to fix (i don’t know if is fix with latest version in SU3 …)

Since you say “We will release SU3 and SU16 once the devs are confident they are ready” and what confidence can we the paying user have that they will get it right this time, given we are on SU3 and now 9 months beyond first release? I won’t even mention the time frames that are supposed to be met for each iteration and are not.
Anyone care to guess for SU4 …
