[Polls] Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Sim Update 6 Feedback (PC/Xbox/PS5)

My biggest issue is that the full release notes for 6.1 - [Update: now on all platforms] Sim Update 6.1 [1.8.16.0] Now Available

don’t mention any improvements for Xbox or PC - only for PS5. ( “fixed Play Station 5 memory allocator which was causing performance/rendering issues on this platform) But for Xbox the sim has improved drastically - does that mean the same memory allocator fix worked for Xbox? whilst there have obviously been changes in performance observed on PC (not the drastic improvement we’ve seen on Xbox but again has the memory allocator fix changed some PC parameters as well?). So clearly the provided notes don’t tell us enough about what has actually been changed - and that is not so good. I like improvements when they are planned, I’m not so keen on accidental ones. And I’m not so keen on release notes that are too high level - the implication with these release notes is that the Hotfix patch is platform specific to fix stability and performance issue - but the delayed release (about a week?) to PC and Xbox suggests there’s a bit more going on. The lack of detail suggests there isn’t enough control or understanding, which is a bit worrying. Better communication would help with issues like this.
