RELEASE NOTES Sim Update 3 Beta - 1.5.3.0
If you are playing on PC, outdated packages in your community folder may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behavior.
If you suffer from stability issues or long loading times, move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title.
Stability & Performance
-
Fixed a somewhat rare crash occurrence of the model behavior parser due to recent changes making it run in parallel (was introduced in SU3)
-
Fixed wrong usage of resized bitmap dimensions instead of original ones when sampling textures (fixes WASM gauges corruption on Xbox Series S and on PC with “Low” texture resolution)
-
Fixed random live view leak for WASM instruments (could impact VRAM after multiple restarts)
General Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where the selection cursor could disappear in the marketplace tab in the aircraft selector
