SU2 Beta General Feedback

i see wake turb can be turned off in the menus (cant remember where)

A couple of CTDs so far. 1st just after loading a flight with a 2020 legacy aircraft. After restarting the same aircraft/airport loaded without incident. 2nd CTD when setting tail number in Identification on a different 2020 legacy aircraft. Once again after a restart the same process worked without incident.
Notice that the weather only loads in the map after you click “Start flight”. Also notice that my GPU now operates at 99% just like MSFS 2020 now. Previously in 2024 my GPU usage was often below 80%. But no obvious performance increase with this increased GPU utilization though, but seems smoother. Also noted new GPU message, about GPU memory allocation but it disappeared after a few seconds. Oddly enough memory usage seems a little lower overall.

i got that rescource issue as well - just once so far.

That’s good to see. I wish that worked for me, but it hasn’t so far. Dropping the LODs to 10 got me to spawn, but it still CTDd after a few seconds.

Have you the Fenix installed?

Found it, thanks! Yeah it should be on by default
it’s in Assistances > Realism

Thanks, I may have missed that. I’ll try again before passing final judgment.

Ok after 10’s of CTD and trying to work out what it is. I’m starting to think that it is AIG traffic models that I have installed in Community folder. I’ve now removed both AIG and FSLTL and even though it’s taking a while to stream in some of the objects and the variying LoD’s it is ‘stable’ and framerates are astoundingly good. I’m planning on adding back the FSLTL models tomorrow and see if that brings back the CTD’s and if not add back AIG models to see if that creates the CTD’s.

No, I don’t have any Fenix planes.

 OK.
0. A lot of things has been done, a lot of work and this is a great consolation to see this. Thank you, Asobo Team. However, no surprise, Beta is Beta, not everything looks 100% good now.

  1. Clouds in a MAP view by default. What is the point doing this? To oblige us go to filters every time and switch them OFF? Sorry, I really want to see my airport and its parking gates and rumps and not this (give us at last a possibility to save filters, please):
  2. New upgrades. If there is one, I’d like to receive it at last or at least to know the reason it is not there so far (I suspect that the Team simply forgot to make this content available as single purchase). But this is good that now the game at least checks for them.

Do you know why there are no lights in the cabin? The electricity is ON for this plane.

3.Where are radiobuttons at the bottom of this ATC menu to select Ground and others? They disappeared after I received my IFR clearance.

Where are UUDD airport buildings? Thy were there before.

  1. Thanks for some texture work on 737 (S7 livery was there from the beginning, by the way) but why those textures are still flickering on the door? Do you see white things on the door? The door flickers.

  2. Flight plan track and aircraft symbol move from one place to another in the EFB in a Map view

Xbox Series X - big fps drop estimated at 22fps, especially during landing and takeoff. Texture quality lower than SU1. Loading time is the same, flight from Vienna to Gdansk without crashes, only occasional jamming in the cockpit.

I am positively surprised that some regions I checked have a much more realistic vegetation now, since trees got removed that should not have been there.
Positive examples are the Canary Islands (e.g. around Teide volcano), Atacama desert and Etosha salt pan in Namibia. The salt pan has about 1/3 trees still left, but it’s way better already.

Excessive trees haven’t been removed everywhere but it is a good and very welcome start.

Were there supposed to be more aircraft fixes listed in the release notes? The list was alphabetical, but just ended with Hot Air Balloon.

Same here, no crashes and the performance is amazing when using AMD FS3. Only issue so far is that FSLTL doesn’t work.

You’re in a beta. This is expected. Highly recommend you leave the beta until it’s ironed out

I noticed this happening too. ATC menu choices disappearing completely.

Impressions should be reported though otherwise how would anyone know?

Never said they shouldn’t. He has responded multiple times about it being worse.

Quad views foveated rendering results in instant crash for me with Pimax Crystal. Tried all combinations of runtimes (Pimax XR, Pimax OpenXR and Steam as OpenXR), disabled all other OpenXR API layers to remove compatibility issues. No dice.

edit- anyone reading this and same problem disable HDR system wide and if it fixes it for you then please vote/post here
