Quick reload button missing

Version: FS2024 Dev Alpha 1.0.72.-

In FS2020 there is a Quick Reload button in the Behavior Debug window, which speeds up reloading of the plane without having to do a full build. This seems to be absent in the FS2024 dev alpha.

As the quick reload saved us a lot of hours during developement, is it possible that the button will be added again for FS2024?

Thanks,
Alex

Plus one on this one…

It seems you can do the same by using the aircraft selector tool, and click Load.

It does not reload everything. I.e. modifications to the sounds are not loaded.

+1 to this one. Though seems that the new recommended method is building package every time, as SimObject asset reloading is now enabled by default.

anyother +1 here.

+1 here too

+1 to this one also !

We spend a lot of time, compiling aicraft so each possibility to gain time is good for us. I think asobo as a developer should be aware of the problem and concerned about solving it :slight_smile:

that wouldn’t make sense at all - the vast majority of my changes are tweaks in a files the package build doesn’t care about at all other than to include them in layout.json. The idea of doing a full package rebuild each time would be crippling.

It’s impossible to tweak flight dynamics if you have to recompile the full package every time. Or at least it would take an insanely long time to accomplish.

Save and Apply changes in the SimObject Editor also seem to have no effect. I keep changing the fuel flow scalar to see if the change takes affect and no matter what I change (tried to change the value in the source and package files and while I can see they are changed) whenever I use Save and Apply it doesn’t apply the changes.

At the moment aircraft editing seems to be impossible without restarting the whole sim. Unless I am missing something.
