Nach dem Sim Update ist vor der Open Beta. So auch bei der Open Beta von Sim Update 11, die ab heute über den XBox Insider-Hub zur Verfügung steht. Neben grafischen Verbesserungen für Nvidia- und AMD-Grafikkarten, wurde auch der Flugverkehr angefasst – nächst langer Liste anderer Fixes, die jetzt getestet werden können.
Wie immer gilt: Testen auf eigene Gefahr. Gerade in einem vollen Community-Ordner könnten Add-ons liegen, die mit dem 11. Sim Update vielleicht nicht klar kommen. Asobo empfiehlt hier folgendes:
Wenn ihr auf dem PC spielet, sind einige Pakete im Community-Ordner möglicherweise nicht aktualisiert worden und können daher unerwartete Auswirkungen auf die Leistung und das Verhalten des Titels haben.
Bitte verschieben Sie Ihr(e) Community-Paket(e) in einen anderen Ordner, bevor Sie den Titel neu starten, wenn Sie unter Stabilitätsproblemen oder langen Ladezeiten leiden.
Frage an unsere Leser:innen: Werdet ihr das Sim Update 11 testen? Wie sind eure Erfahrungen? Schreibt es uns gerne in die Kommentare.

Muss schon sagen irgendwie bewundere ich die MSFS Nutzer ob ihrer Leidensfähigkeit.
Seit Release vor glaube ich 2Jahren gab es immer wieder Probleme. Vielleicht bin ich zu intolerant aber irgendwann hört sich der Spaß auf und dann interessiert mich die Sache nicht mehr.
nach jedem Update zittern, ob das Programm noch funktioniert ist nicht mein Fall.
Also ich hatte trotz zahlreicher Add Ons kaum größere Probleme nach Updates. Das es bei einer Beta zu Problemen kommt ist, wie oben geschrieben, völlig normal. Deshalb ist es ja eine Beta.
Naja, ehrlich gesagt gibt es diese Probleme (soweit ich weiß) nur bei den beta-Nutzern, worauf sich ja dieser Artikel hier auch bezieht. Alles in allem läuft der MSFS bei mir wesentlich (WESENTLICH!!) stabiler als es der p3d in allen Versionen von 2.0 bis 5.1 bei mir je getan hat. Die ständigen Update-Orgien wenn mal wieder eine (kostenpflichtige) X.0 herauskam waren damals doch um Welten nerviger! Also ich bin mit der aktuellen Versorgung durch MS und Asobo glücklich. Betas muss man nicht nutzen, (diese Option gab es übrigens bei LM erst gar nicht, da wurden neue Versionen oft ohne Vorankündigung in den Äther geschossen und die (p3d-)Flusi-Welt stand erstmal eine Woche unter Schnappatmung.
Verglichen mit den letzten 20 Jahren in denen ich dieses Hobby betreibe kann ich sagen: es war nie besser als jetzt. Klar gibt es Verbesserungspotenzial, das gibt es immer! Bedenkt man wie offen Asobo auf die Probleme der Community eingeht, finde ich aktuell wenig Reibungspunkte.
Grüße aus MUC,
der Andi.
Unterschreibe ich so. Bin auch extrem zufrieden mit MSFS. Die Changelog‘s und die Dynamik in Updates kenne ich so nicht von keinem anderen Simulator. Ich nutze die Beta und ja, alle Airliner die ich nutze streiken bei mir. PMDG hatte es ja proaktiv gemeldet. Bei Fenix steigen im Laufe eines Fluges die Screens im Cockpit nach und nach aus. Es werden Updates folgen und dann wird der Simulator wieder etwas besser werden.
Kleiner Tipp: Der Wechsel auf DX 11 soll wohl viele Probleme mit Fenix, PMDG etc. verhindern.
mit Carenado Fliegern gibt es auch Probleme, genau so wie mit anderen Addons. Bis jetzt ist das die schlimmste Beta die ich erlebt hab.
Ich habe auch iwie das Gefühl, dass MS/Asobo da von nVIDIA auf dem falschen Fuss erwischt wurde. Oder die Kommunikation zwischen den Beiden eine Katastrophe ist, jedenfalls sicher nicht geplant, dass man von der SU11 Beta über nVIDIA Kanäle erfährt, statt über die MS/Asobo Kanäle. Eventuell wollte man da der Meldung von nVIDIA zuvorkommen (die sprach ja vom 17. Oktober, soviel ich weiss) und hat die Beta nun ein paar Tage zu früh auf die User losgelassen.
Darüber, dass nun zig User in die Röhre gucken, kann ich nur milde lächeln. Wenn man an einer Beta teilnimmt, muss man jederzeit damit rechnen, dass gar nichts mehr geht. Beim MSFS sind die Betas aber ja längst zum lustigen Vorab-Release verkommen, wo 95% der Beta-Nutzer einfach den Content früher wollten und sich um die Aufgaben eines Beta-Testers sowieso foutierten. Selber schuld.
Ja nu, irgendwo her müssen ja die Feedbacks kommen. Da macht man vorher ein Backup und gut ist es.
Sich ein Beta drauf spielen und dann beschweren das etwas nicht funktioniert. Das sind die Richtigen. Vielleicht einfach noch mal nachlesen was ein Beta ist und wofür es da ist.
Klar, die sich beschweren sollten die Finger davon lassen, aber man sollte auch erkennen wann es sich nur um eine Mitteilung handelt. Davon mal abgesehen ist diese Zeigefingermentalität mit den Kommentaren hier auch völlig fehl am Platze, da das Thema nun mal die Betaversion ist. Also haben hier auch eher Berichte bzw. Meldungen zu der aktuellen Beta Version ihren Sinn.
