Please indicate your playability of the sim with the following statement - Xbox performance (frames per second) in this build is generally:

Good
Acceptable

If you’re encountering performance drops or visual quality issues on Xbox, the memory logging added in this build may contribute to that; however, we’d also appreciate the following details:
What FPS are you seeing?
Which airports show degraded performance or visuals?
What aircraft were you using?
To report a bug, please use a sub-category of Sim Update 2.

I have had a few very quick flights and have to say I’m really impressed so far. Looks like we’ve gained performance and still looks fantastic! Haven’t had chance to complete an airline flight but first indications are positive!
Sidenote - still unable to deactivate static aircraft.
Lod is very good better than the public version but Mouse remains very slow when turning the camera even touching the settings to increase the speed of the free view it resets to 10, and the option to disable traffic at the airport, static aircraft and fauna has not yet been enabled
The LOD looks really good also the draw distance.
Better than previous betas.
Please keep this level up.
Also need to complain the STATIC A/Cs needs the possibility to switch off.
The LIVE TRAFFIC is still very poor. Crazy behavior on ground and the MISSING different airlines paints.
What FPS are you seeing?
I’m getting around 24 FPS on the ground at small airports. Performance improves once airborne, but large airports are currently unusable due to the already poor performance at smaller airfields. I also experience severe lag spikes and freezes, sometimes lasting up to 10 seconds, mainly during approach and final. This makes landing larger airliners nearly impossible.
Important note: ATC communication significantly impacts performance. The worst lag spikes occur when ATC communicates with me or when I respond. If I let the AI handle ATC (because the ATC window is too small and doesn’t auto-scroll to the latest message), the sim crashes. So AI ATC is currently unusable and definitely needs fixing.
Which airports show degraded performance or visuals?
Handcrafted airports generally perform poorly, especially during landing. The worst performance I’ve experienced was when landing at LXGB and LSZH.
What aircraft were you using?
I mainly fly the A320/321neo from Inibuilds and the 737 MAX from Asobo. Both have noticeably worse performance compared to smaller aircraft. I’m playing on an Xbox Series X, and when using smaller planes like a Cessna, sim performance is acceptable.
And one last thing, why are these fake A330 planes still in the sim?? Please provide the option to delete this model from my library so it won’t spawn in anymore..
When not in a big airliner it’s working well for me biggest I’m getting up to without massive issues are the a320 and 737 yes there is the occasional stutter on landing and fps drops but compared to previous builds the lod and texture draw distance is good the right balance between what you want in finer detail vs horizon draw quality (this been one of my things I’ve been looking out for) haven’t bothered going into a ga plane with airliners working well for me
Helicopters have been some insane visuals for me this time round even better than previously
Biggest thing I’m finding is fps drops coincide with a new area loading to higher detail hence more fps drops closer to ground taxing and generally at airports that have been reported
What FPS are you seeing? Not sure, but I got a lot of stutters while on the ground on my flight last night. When I was up in the air it was smooth and silky, until I started my descent into New York, and it got pretty bad.
Which airports show degraded performance or visuals? KHOU to KGLA. Lots of stutters and poor LOD while on the ground at both. KGLA was the worst by far. I gave up on trying to taxi to parking.
What aircraft were you using? Longitude
I think in the meantime I am going to avoid the major airports and just stick to the regionals and executives. I need to try clearing out my cache before the next flight to see if that helps any. The sunset while at cruise altitude sure was beautiful though.
What FPS are you seeing? I’m not sure , but you can tell visually that it’s below 30fps and probably even lower at large hand crafted airports.
Which airports show degraded performance or visuals? The worst performing airports for me are LEMD, EGLL, and RJTT. They are slightly better with live traffic switched off, but not by much.
What aircraft were you using? Mostly the V2 Neo and the A321LR.
I mostly try and fly to and from smaller airports, but even then, performance on the ground isn’t great.
Give us the ability to disable passenger cabin detailing on airliners. Passenger cabin detailing in airliners is the root of the problem of poor performance. Give us the ability to disable it please…
Please Asobo…
Apparently, the World Stuttering Championship is being held at London Stansted Airport.
Constant stuttering, occurs every 10 or 15 seconds, lasts about 3 to 5 seconds, and then resumes.
After takeoff, the situation improved, and the flight was able to proceed without problems (and without stuttering).
After landing in Cork, the stuttering returned.
On the ground, I couldn’t see if what I saw yesterday while flying over highly detailed areas occurred: when a stuttering occurs, a good portion of the buildings disappear, the simulator recovers, and a few seconds later, the buildings reappear in patches.
The LOD is visible up to about 10 nm; between 10 and 20 nm, only the terrain is visible, but not objects such as buildings, roads, etc.
I encountered this same problem flying airliners and GAs, like the Vision Jet, and even the velocopter.
I put acceptable in that I had a complete blast driving the Crosskart up Mount Mauna Kea on the big island of Hawaii. I watched the sunset and animals up on the peak. It was good fun. But I could not yet put good as my answer because at the peak after a half hour up there or so. The lag became so tremendous. I could barely get back in the Crosskart and descend back down to the ocean as I wanted. I wound up having to end the flight on my XBox Series X before I really wanted. With that said, I had a good two hours or so of fun. My birds were watching the entire climb to the Summit which I made last a good hour or more, then 30 minutes up top at the Summit with livestock. It was all good fun. Thanks Jorg, Sebastian and Martial for making that climb even possible. That was truly a good time with my tropical birds. I wish you could see how much they enjoy your Flight Sim.
Completed another flight last night in the A321LR. Budapest to Luton. Both Payware airports. Things were going very smoothly up until final approach where I was getting big stutters. It’s very distracting when they happen just before touchdown. Then I was getting the usual freezes every 10 seconds or so whilst taxiing to the gate. Finally got black screens after arriving at the gate.
On a positive note though, the A321 seems to have been updated, as the engines were not as quiet as they used to be, and performance seemed a little bit better.
