ISSUE DESCRIPTION
While we are seeing massive improvements to performance and stability in the sim on Xbox and PS5 when flying in Free Flight. The same cannot be said for aircraft (specifically the Default Airliner Line up) in career mode. Below I have a test in KDFW trying to get Passenger Transport and Heavy Cargo Missions started with most ending in a Sim Crash, Load Time hung up, or WASM Crashes.
I’ll update this thread with other default locations on Xbox and PlayStation and let you know the results, but what I was experiencing so far on Xbox in Dallas was not ideal, so all clips below so far are filmed on the Xbox Series X with pretty much a full reboot for each clip as the sim was crashing quite frequently.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
Most spawns of any of the default airliners at a lot of the handcrafted airports in Career Mode leads to some odd situations like Sim Crashes, WASM Crashes, or just load times going forever and not actually completing the loading.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
-
Head to career mode and select whatever Airliner based Passenger or Heavy Cargo missions you’d like, so far, I’ve tested at KDFW. Other locations to test are in Schiphol (EHAM) and Heathrow (EGLL)
-
Once you try and load in on Xbox or PS5 you’ll run into most of the issues I show below.
-
Afterwards, try the same aircraft and the same airport in free flight and you’ll notice it’s the complete opposite experience. Fast load times, no low memory warnings, and no crashes.
YOUR SETTINGS
Xbox and PlayStation Set up:
I made sure to have the Xbox set up as vanilla as the sim can be to make sure these issues weren’t because of Add On’s obviously on PS5 its Vanilla as there isn’t any Add On’s at the moment, so needless to say no 3rd Party content to cause issues.
