27th August 2015 - Update

We have taken the decision to extend the beta for approximately another week. Please keep an eye out for further information.

------------------------------------------

This open beta for the latest Microsoft FSX: Steam Edition update is now live. The beta is open to all owners of FSX: SE and will run for 48 hours until 27th August 2015.

Last week, we released an update for Microsoft FSX: Steam Edition to our players. A small percentage of you reported some errors relating to duplicate entries being made in the scenery.cfg file. We are running this beta to request help from the FSX: SE community in order to investigate this potential error. The data we collect from players in the beta will greatly help us in supplementing our own internal testing. The more data we collect, the better we can understand the situation and get this update released.

For full details about the beta and how to take part, please see this thread in our forum:

Earlier today (20/08/2015 between 15:00-17:30 BST) we released an update for Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition through Steam. This updated FSX: SE from version number 62613 to 62615.

Following the release of this update we received feedback from the FSX:SE community indicating a possible menu error whereby scenery content is listed twice due to formatting problems in the scenery.cfg file. Having investigated these reports, we believe that this error has no affect upon gameplay, however we have made the decision to rollback players to the previous build of FSX: Steam Edition, namely version 62613.

Those players who have updated FSX: SE to version 62615: Please restart Steam to automatically revert back to the previous version. If FSX: SE was not updated, then no further action is required.

If you believe that you have been affected by this issue or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us direct through our dedicated FSX: SE support website: http://dovetailgames.kayako.com/

Dovetail Games would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused, and would like to thank the FSX: Steam Edition community in helping to identify this issue.

As of 15:00 BST today, the latest update for Microsoft FSX: Steam Edition will be released following a period of public beta testing. The update will download and install automatically through Steam. You may need to restart Steam if the process does not start automatically. The full changelog for the update can be found below.

Dovetail Games would like to thank all of our players who took part in the public beta process for this update. Your feedback is vital in our mission to provide the most stable version of FSX: Steam Edition possible.

Please note many of the changes and fixes in this update will be seamless to FSX: SE players but will be of great benefit to developers looking to bring their add-ons to FSX: SE.

Player-visible updates are as follows:

• Improvements for using modified Scenery.cfg files which could previously result in a 1007 error when installing new scenery add-ons. Please note due to the highly customisable nature of FSX: SE it is going to be impossible for us to attempt to deal with all forms of malformatting in the Scenery.cfg files. For this reason we have also provide an option to reset the Scenery.cfg file to the default version.
  
• Fixed font file loading not being VFS-aware. Font files associated with add-ons should now work as expected.
  
• Fixed multiplayer invites not working if you invite a friend to a Private game.
  
• Improved mouse cursor slow-down over complex cockpits. Although we have made some optimizations to this code, players may still experience some reduction in framerates when using highly complex cockpit models. This is because such models are pushing the boundaries of what is possible within the game engine.
  
• Improved optimisation of installing/uninstalling add-on content through the Steam platform.

Because this update includes changes to the way Steam optimises add-on content available from the Steam store, some add-on content may re-install. This means that the size of the download will vary depending upon how many Steam add-ons you have installed. If you are just running the core simulator without add-ons, your download will be approximately 22.9 MB. This may increase up to 5.1 GB if you own all of the add-ons available from our Steam store.

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has taken the time to provide feedback during this process.
