Microsoft Flight Simulator SU15 Update Postponed Yet Again
Yes, the news broke yesterday that due to some issues found during the latest beta build for SU15 (1.37.15.0) which was supposed to originally release back in March, then postponed to 7 May has once again been postponed. At the time of this writing, there is no new date available.
The issues found have to do with WASM “Missing Content” errors and stuttering/freezing on the Xbox platform. A new beta update (1.37.17.0) which addresses the WASM “Missing Content” errors as well as a handful of other issues. As for the Xbox issues, this continues to be under investigation with the hope of a fix being issued sometime next week.
PMDG 777-300ER
Of course, one has to wonder if the highly anticipated release of the PMDG 777-300ER isn’t caught up in these SU15 delays. While PMDG have stated multiple times that their release strategy for the 777-300ER isn’t dependent on SU15, one still ponders this possibility. If I’m honest with myself, and if I were responsible for the release of the most anticipated payware aircraft add-on in the past two years….I think I would delay it as well just to be 100% sure there were no undiscovered issues. Especially considering the number of beta build releases that have been part of the SU15 cycle.
Bottom Line
Someday….perhaps later this month…perhaps early June SU15 will get released and someday after that…perhaps June, perhaps July, perhaps ???? the PMDG 777-300ER will release. We all just have to wait and see.
Until Next Time….
Wait and See and Happy Flying!!!
