FSUIPC7 7.5.3 Crashes the Sim FS2024 SU3 beta 1.5.10.0

I don't mind being a Beta tester. This is more Alpha. 

I get bugs and CTD's, but something should be done to fix them quickly, at least to a point where the product works. You can't ask people to spend almost $300 and then ask them to beta test bugs that cause them not to be able to play the game.

What I'd expect is a small team, to pre test an update, to a least make sure it doesn't crash the sim and then release it to players on the beta to report back and then if something major is found, a fix is done over night or at least the next day.

They told us they couldn't go to the expo because they were hard at it, yet no update over the weekend to fix their unplayable game. Truth is, they didn't want to face the backlash.

I don't mind being a Beta or Alpha tester I know that this means yes you will run into bugs and crashes.
But I actually want to support the Asobo and Microsoft teams in making the best simulator, for me it's actually part of the hobby.

The last two beta (alpha) versions where very troublesome.

With version 1.5.9.0 I ran into crashes when getting in the cockpit all FS20 aircraft also the official ones that come with the sim and some of the 3rd party FS24 aircraft.
But there was no mention in the release notes of 1.5.9.0 that can explain that you can get crashes getting into aircraft.

With version 1.5.10.0 we ran into FSUIPC and many other external apps crashing the simulator.
Again there  was no mention in the release notes of 1.5.10.0 that could explain changes that are causing these crashes.

I get it we are beta testing the sim but as a former developer I'm starting to wander what is going on behand the seen.
It seems we are not getting the full version of the release notes I think there are way more changes and bugfixes happening.

This can eventually result in code that gets more and more difficult to maintain and les reliable.
It the old days we would just call this spaghetti code but let pray I am totally wrong.

So it's a good thing the teams are not at the Flight Sim Expo 2025 and I agree this says a lot.

I support everything you have said Dutch 100%.

I'm just a little frustrated and disappointed. I won't go into it, but throughout SU2, I was in direct contact with support and they continued to blame things on my end. I knew it wasn't my end as I wasn't the only one with the same issue. Then they released an update that fixed everything and now with SU3, support have stopped giving feedback, advice on the beta.

I'm at the stage now, where I don't have any hope for 24. They committed to a release date, when they were obviously well behind and they have been chasing their tail ever since.
