When will SU4 Beta Open?

Just curious when will SU4 beta open up. Last time when SU2 went live, SU3 beta opened up same day or next day if I recall correctly.

There has been no official announcement yet on the start date of SU4.

When SU4 is ready to start, the CMs will post in Official Microsoft Flight Simulator > News & Announcements.

Being the peak holiday time I think it might be available early Sept this time around.

SU3 has been a monumental update and while there is still much to do, I really would like them to take a bit or a rest period here. I would like to take a break from complaining about 2024 too - I’m sure everyone is happy to hear that

:wink:

when can we expect beta 4, the last update didn’t make that much differance, still stutters, jerks and poor quality textures after a while.

You may have noticed a lot of SU3 housekeeping the last few days so probably not that far out I expect.

Please, for the love of [enter deity here], fix the daytime instrument/gauge lighting in SU4!!!

No SU 4 Beta announcement yet?

Several SU3 updates actually didn’t happen (there’s a thread on it), so maybe it’ll take awhile (hope for good)

Can’t wait for SU4 !

Hope they improve and polish the whole sim-engine very well.

The Beta SU 3 section has been archived, I wouldn’t be surprised if SU 4 comes out very soon…

In the news of August 28 on the official site, it is said:

Work continues on MSFS 2024, with the team preparing to start the public beta test for Sim Update 4 soon

:dizzy:

Well I hope they fix night lighting. It’s my last major remaining pet peeve. That and they can always make more performance improvements.

Just in case anyone is interested, I went through the 2024 bugs list from the last development update, and copied out the lines that are SU4 relevant, either in progress, planned, or already fixed.

There is no current available Beta version to download and test.

According to this Roadmap (scroll down to the Roadmap) we will have a surprise first. I don’t think the surprise has happened yet, has it?

Edit: As @Zadma points out below, the Roadmap refers to the release of SU4, not the release of SU4 beta, so it might be that the beta will be released before the first surprise.

Theoretically that surprise would be before SU4 release, not SU4 beta - could even be something incorporated into SU4.

The su4 beta is coming… maybe next week?

From the website blog:

The dev team is heads down this week putting the final touches on the first pre-release test build for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Sim Update 4, and the public beta test for SU4 will begin very soon!

My flight simming lately has been reduced to just checking the forums for any sign of the SU4 beta release. The current performance issues have completely killed my motivation to even start up the sim. At this point, it seems unlikely we’ll get anything for the weekend.

Yeah, I’ve backed off too. I’ve resorted to doing another playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 to kill some time.
