Hopefully the beta will include the atmospheric changes early on so that those in the know can request this be tweaked over iterations until its as accurate as it can get.

Yes. I also have some hopes for improved ATC.
At least I hope.that some bugs get resolved, like the loss of audio on ATC.

We don’t really have to guess or speculate. What’s coming in SU14 is on the feedback snapshot slides was released in the last devblog last week with the updated slides.

Doesn’t mean because they’re on this list that they won’t be dropped and pushed to a future update, and doesn’t mean there won’t be other stuff. But I think that gives folks a decent idea what to expect from this build.

Yes, ans there are quite a few exciting things on that list.

  • atmosphere coloring
  • Snow coverage
  • ATC

Just to pick 3 out of many more.

This SU sounds very promising.

The #1 big thing for me - performance loss while using popout windows. Was supposed to be in SU12, got pushed to 13. Then is now listed as 14+. So fingers are crossed, but we’ll see.

I won’t fly if I can’t use popouts and Air Manager with my cockpit. Since SU12, performance with popouts has gotten worse for me. SU13 made it unplayable.

The other big thing for me is the Cirrus SR22T. The default SR22 is ok. But the mostly inop cockpit and poor performance of the non-turbo variant are a bit of a turnoff. This looks like it may fix it for me. Especially if they make the keypad functional.

I use to get excited about SU releases until the one last November/December that broke the entire game. and subsequent SU’s have fixed bugs introduced by SU’s and then re-broke those bugs in the next SU.

If they could just go back to the game around Sept/Oct 2022 on Xbox I would be happy.

Will we have improvements with the use of Vram with dx12? Usage is quite high compared to dx11, are you already aware of this?

Hello everyone,

As an update to @Jummivana’s post here, if you read today’s Dev Blog, you’ll have seen that the SU14 beta is now scheduled to start early next week, not Friday.

Thanks,
MSFS Team

Hi,

I hope SU14 beta is better managed than the last one, many of us felt the SU13 beta was severely lacking in many areas as mentioned at the time in the “stepping out of beta” thread. The whole area of public beta testing needs a massive overhaul, I’m not expecting that now but an improvement is necessary.

Thank you.

What would you say would be the biggest improvement they could make on that front?

Hi,

I won’t repeat what I said, my post on that thread (which as a whole should be read) is here;
