Official Discussion: July 7th, 2022 Dev Update

I cannot wait to test it!!

Is Xbox insider only way to install beta?
I cant find Insider app in windows store. It could be Region thing, but, I was in Alfa and beta 2 years ago so something changed.

Search for Insider Hub

PSA

For Navigraph Subscribers planning to join SU10 Beta - do not forget to remove the Navigraph Navdata using Navdata Center BEFORE launching the sim to receive the Beta. Otherwise you greatly increase your chances of corrupted navdata in the sim.

I wasnt aware of this. Does this include the Airacs for individual planes?

Is this new to this beta? I havenā€™t had this problem before.

Me neither

Also remember as with past updates that while thousands of people are downloading the new update and server load is high the sim most always runs like garbage until the server load drops give it 2 or 3 days then test the sim and post problems

Standard safety procedure direct from Navigraph. You can check wtih @NAVData / Richard yourself on their forums. :slight_smile:

Ah. Well Iā€™ll just rename the community folder before updating

Just double-check the Content.xml because it wonā€™t get rebuilt even if you rename Community. The only way it gets rebuilt is to blow it away before sim start. If thereā€™s a Navigraph reference in thereā€¦

Yeah for that reason exactly I have a .bat file that deletes the content.xml every time I run MSFS. Thanks to @IcyMittens for that one

Same question here as Nerbulusā€¦I have not had this NAvigraph problem before with Beta and Sim Updatesā€¦have you had problems? Thanks for the heads up to avoid problems here, I had not thought of this one.

Yes, we have many posts on the board that had this exact root cause. Other causes were also inappropriate removal of Navigraph - people would just delete the folders rather than remove properly using NavCenter. That would result in orphaned entries in Content.xml whereby the sim was expecting to see Navigraph folders but they didnā€™t exist, so no Navdata presented in-sim.

Disclaimer - Iā€™m also a Navigraph subscriber.

Again, itā€™s just a PSA - if you want to know more, visit the Navigraph forums. Thanks.

I will definitely participate in SU10 Beta on XBOX and see whats what.
Hoping for improved stability especially with IFR/Airliner flights.

best way i have to know if navigraph is correctly installed, is to go and do an ILS app with a NXI plane.

fly about 5000ā€™ AGL with GPS Nav, then set your alt to be lower than the FAF for VNAV. If its not switching to LOC and follow GS, but instead continue on the GPS vnav path, then the navigraph install is borked

Then do the Navigraph Center dance of install/uninstall

Hey that sounds interesting, can you share that ??

Hopefully dx12 brings improvement

In order to prevent reinstalling the entire game after Beta process ends, all I have to do is to copy community and official folders under Packages to somewhere else ?
