Sim Update 15 DELAYED! A Beta Tester Tells You WHY! MSFS | Varjo Aero & Pico 4

Why? The reason why is obviously that the devs should do another line of work because they are completely useless. So sad....

Unfortunately due to the delay of SU15 staff that were going to be freed to work on MSFS2024 will now not be available and this will have flow on effects unfortunately. Better to be sure of the update than being forced into patches though. Brave but smart move Asobo/Microsoft

To be honest, I some kind of knew on thursday evening (2024-05-02) that SU-15 will be delayed again.
How?
Microsoft rarely releases on fridays and mondays, not even beta-versions.
And knowing that the Beta should run a few days in public before it will be releases to the rest of the world made it clear on thursday that the tuesday will come and go without official release of SU-15.

The main focus is whether ASOBO will interfere with the most effective improvements in MSFS history to date, such as Autofps and SmartFlight.
If they were to do this, it would be no different than a foolish dictator sending his talented people to Siberia and then pointing a gun at the people to silence us for depriving us of our great achievements.
Don't do anything unnecessary and don't force updates.

Why is Varjo and Pico4 the title?

Update 15, BeyondATC, very exciting times! None of it works well. A cacophony of bugs. Hope they all eventually get ironed out, before FS2024. Or will it even matter? 🙏

I think I'll add that the issues are with 4x series cards. I left the beta about a month ago. Still with my 3070 ti and with production release no issues with my quest 3 in vr. Yesterday I popped in my 4080 super, and I'll tell you. I want my 3070 back. The stutters are horrible.

I’m running 15 beta 4090 Q3 meta link DLSS quality with the DLSS upgrade and the hack to turn off fast jet vortex etc and 40 fps asynchronous warp. DX12

No issues

Thank Heavens since I have been tempted by the Beech Duke and since the Duke has issues and MSFS 2020 has some issues I can safely put my wallet away.

Thank you so much for acknowledging the beeta vs bayta pronunciation

Better to delay than put out a buggy software.

I agree MSFS 2020 has been slowly been getting worse "Especially for VR use" in their own admission most of the instability problems to sim update 15 is Xbox related they are trying to satisfy two very individual systems with very similar code and the instability we are seening is the result of it "in my opinion". When they first launched VR I could run a valve index on a 1080 and get very satisfying results I now have a 4090 and even though my headset is more demanding one I struggled to get 45 FPS if I decide to turn the settings up.Current PC specs are
MSI 4090
AMD 7800 X3D
32 gig of dominator 6000Hz ram
Sim running on an M.2 drive

How do you talk without moving your lips ??

They finally got me to the point where I could not care less about SU 15 any more. Asobo, just stop messing around and give me MSFS 2024 ffs.

You've hit the nail on the head with this one Steve, thanks for your thoughts. I've been on SU15 since the beginning and at the start, with the memory optimisation, the frame rates were outstanding and I don't recall any freezing either. It was a feeling I'd never felt before with any version of MSFS... I didn't feel like I had to touch a thing, just fly!!!
Unfortunately, since then, things have gone downhill with every update to the point where, for myself personally, the sim is just too frustrating to even bother with. The constant stutters and freezes shatter any sense of immersion, and it's just unplayable. They have, quite literally, broken the program. I've reported my findings back to MS, not that it's news to them. I'm putting MSFS202 on the back burner for a now, and doing a bit of iRacing, until things get sorted.

Lets dont stay on them side they just trash 4 years they try fix this simulator is mfs fix simulotar😅😅😅😅

Asobo lost control on sim 2 years ago absolutly joke they don't know wat they do ..wat a trash

ASOBO!! get it right lol

🎉
Yes, I've,I've noticed a lot of stuttering in VR for a long time now so hopefully that will be fixed.

I really hope Asobo does update 15 right as it's all we're gonna get until February/March 2025. Update 14 works pretty well for me atm. I have fine tune it to get stable 50-60 fps above 1500 ft and 40-55 fps at a ground level at 2*2656x2592 (TAA) resolution on my modest setup 5700X3D/4070TI Super/G2. It would be nice if Update 15 could enable locked stable 60 fps at the same setting, but I'm not complaining about performance at it is now.

🤔😶

I think they could release it any time they wish to IF they could simply STOP the altogether nutty policy of making every update MANDATORY. Just let us postpone the update if we don’t want to accept all of its glitches

I will be really disappointed if I am forced to update to SU15 and end up with more issues than I have now! I am also a VR user (Aero) and will be annoyed if I get worst performance especially as they have supposedly improved it!

You guys still play this NON VR game running poorly with stutters, blurring and not hitting at least 60fps? Im done with MSFS. I moved to Aero Fly s4. Thats a true VR game. VARJO AERO, 4080, 12700K...

I’ve been on the Beta for quite a while and I totally agree with everything you’ve said. Some days are different to others without doing anything. Have you noticed any flight model changes to your aircraft? Also some of mine have become unflyable. No idea why as I haven’t changed any control settings. Keep up the great work.

My thoughts on the update 15. I think this is going to be the last update for 2020. This said - I have a feeling, MS is trying to address ALL if not MOST of the key outstanding issues. All of this probably amounting to multiple updates IF they were planning on continuing updating 2020. So - all in a nutshell - perhaps Update 15 will be more of a comprehensive update. Just my thoughts.

Wonder where that 2024 alpha at? 🤔

Hey Steve, Nice that you use the Pico 4 and different headsets in your videos. 👌
