SU6 Beta General Feedback and Discussion Thread

Yep! I noticed the interior cockpit views in Fenix have changed! Not sure why? Seems fairly random…

Why does the toolbar now show the names of each icon - can this be disabled? Xbox x

No issue here with ChasePlane on 5.1 after having been on SU6. Needed an extra restart of the game but after that everything was back to old.

Also Tobii 5 settings are different again and changed. I took a screenshot but going back to 5.1 also restored original settings. Worth remembering the parameters tho to adapt them in SU6 as they seemed random here. I have not checked side by side yet.

Also native mouse input finally is acceptable, no more extreme dead zone.

From the SU6 1.8.5.0 release notes:

Presumably this is only enabled if other tooltips (like labels for buttons/switches in the cockpit) are enabled but I haven’t tested this to see.

So not an enhancement. Can’t see how to disable this and all other setting for names/labels are off.

Indeed and every time I do this the textures both in and out of the cockpit re-build. It’s good if people do not have this problem, a few other and myself do and it is a logged bug which means the developers have reproduced and acknowledge it. Thanks for your feedback.

I have tooltips disabled and do NOT see any tooltips on the menubar icons:

Somebody has suggested Motion Blur before - it is not - have tested with and without , no change.

Must be an Xbox de-enhancement as cannot disable.

If it can be disabled on PC but not Xbox then it is a bug and should be reported in the appropriate SU6 bug reporting category :+1:

Can they please stopp adding bad UI decisions.

The first one isn’t even working, notifications should go into a notification app on the efb or show with timestamp in the main ui notification drop down and not annoy the user with a “IN YOUR FACE” pop up.
And the second one takes the user for a fool. :roll_eyes:

PS:
here is a revert change request “bug report” for voting:

For the first one, have you checked if the flights are even logged in the logbook? I’ve found out that it usually misses a lot of my flights.
And yeah I agree completely, people have been asking to have as little notifications as possible (I think most of us want a way to disable the gpu warning) so adding yet another unavoidable one just feels like a slap in the face

Logbook seems to work for me, just have to click the date column to make it show the newest ones at top ( which should be the default anyway).
Otherwise I don’t really care for the logbook, which is another reason I don’t need another notification poping up into my face.

I’ve got tool tips turned off and I’m getting them for the menu bar. Xbox series X

I noticed in one of the topics or posts that someone complained about an FPS drop, so I decided to compare SU5 with SU6, specifically the FPS.
So … if anyone is wondering whether the SU6 beta performs better than SU5.1, here’s the answer …

How do you get it to give you a logbook entry? Is it like 2020 where you get one when you turn the engine off on some aircraft and others you need to map strange buttons like toggle master battery and avionics to trick it into working? Would love to do turn-arounds and not end my flight but need the logbook entry for manual PIREPs on a VA

I don’t know sorry. But it actually doesn’t seem to pick up all the flights I do, as I just looked at it.
Only picked up 3 today, even though I did jump into freeflight way more:

The Hughes 500 spray was actually a career mission I did earlier. But also did a SAR hoist in the huey before that, but it didn’t get logged.

So seems to only work sporadically, but I don’t care as I don’t pay attention to it.

My logbook will never record the first flight I do in a session. Need to restart a flight for it to actually save the logbook entry

I thought Bush Trips were coming back with SU 6??

They are planned for release with SU6, yes. SU6 has not released yet :slight_smile:
