Also MS Store here. Going to try a restart of the sim, then one of the PC, then start the process of refreshing the various caches/folders, and if that doesn’t do the trick, we’ll just reinstall.
I’ve noticed a few exceedingly funky things in the sim since this update that no one else seems to be reporting (and I feel like they would be reported if they were widespread) so I may just have a bad apple here.
When all else fails, turn it off and turn it back on The day that stops solving 70% of the world’s tech issues is the day I move on to fixing lawn mowers.
Tends to pop up when I use whatever keybinds I have bound to toggling visual assistances on/off. Seems a bit silly, if I’m actively using the keybind, you would think that’s not the time to remind me what the keybind is
I regularly toggle it on/off to see POI markers and occasionally the taxi ribbon (for those lovely times the airport’s taxiways are completely fictional in the sim so charts are useless). Will see if anyone else has this issue when toggling on/off visual assistances.
Same problem that started in the 1.16.18 version. Irrelevant of the “Piloting and Controls notifications” (also after toggling it on/off multiple times), I keep on getting these annoying pop-ups.
I cannot repro the issue “the “Piloting and Controls Notifications” setting is toggled off and unselectable” - I can toggle on & off - but I have it set at off (disabled) and, like others have mentioned, have been seeing the “Switch visual assistances” notification when toggling the “Toggle Visual Assistances Display” setting using the keyboard, which has not been the case in previous builds or SUs.
I have the switch visual assistances pop up as well. Appears reliably after toggling poi labels on then off. I do this when exploring to look for interesting sites to fly past, so it’s quite intrusive.
I can toggle pop ups no problem, but it has no effect.
Ms Store on pc.
Unrelated, but a lot of labels are still broken - mostly the cities ones I think. You see them for a brief moment when toggling Poi markers on, then they vanish.
