I can’t wait to try it out later today. Thanks to the team at Asobo and Microsoft for delivering this fix in the AAU Beta. I personally deeply appreciate it, and I am sure many others will too.

Hello @Lumatt89,

The fix for the Xbox LOD issue is included in the optional beta build of AAU1 that is available now. We are planning for this build to be released to all players in January. Please see this forum thread if you would like to opt in to the AAU1 beta:

One thing I noticed tho contrails are squares

Yeah, same here. If it’s possible, if there’s anyone out there who has an significant amount of 3rd party airports, I would really like to read your thoughts in terms of stability and performance of those addons. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps, I wil also take part in this beta again to see for myself :thinking:

Graphics look incredible, again.

I did have some stuttering on taxi at KPRB (rural municipal airport) in the Longitude. That seems new.

fingers crossed, to me graphics got unbearable and i found myself looking to old snapshots and wondering how it got so bad

even today i did a short hop in the himalayas (even with the orbx mesh) but turned out to be the final blow

You’re referring to the current release, not the beta. Correct?

We’re back in business!

Thanks so much to the team at MS and Asobo for getting this out earlier than predicted! It looks just like I remember it! Fantastic!

yes

might give a try and opt in (never did it in the past, is it “safe” or once it’s done it’s gonna mess up the sim? did read the faq though i’d like to hear users experience on this, just want to avoid a reinstall)

I’ve been on the automatic beta updates since they started it with SU10 (I think?) and have had zero issues with the upgrades and transitions to final releases.
