I agree with you, for a group that constantly are calling xbox users “kids” and “children” i have never seen a bigger crowd of selfish crybabies in the so called PCMR.
Never heard such a clicking sound, neither in Beta or the official release?
Its the first time i hear such things. Look around in the cockpit and find out what exactly it is, see what switch is moving. Then we can help.
But random ranting like OP did will lead to knowhere and it can only be ignored…
This official forum is turning into Avsim v2. Insane amount of drama going on.
Exactly. And good.
This, 100%. The random clicking sound is some device on the user side of things acting up.
A lot of people here, and I mean A LOT, are crying about MSFS bugs while they didn’t even check the content manager for updates, nor have they removed all community files BEFORE patching, making a clean flight before reinstalling the community folders.
People don’t respect the basic patching steps of such huge games, then come and cry the game is broken. Which is especially silly when they’re using third party aircraft, especially if they’re from devs known for NOT patching their stuff.
remove mods, clear rolling cache, clear manual cache, update the game AND the content, fly vanilla aircraft and then you’ll see the game works 100%.
I reinstalled my community stuff after such a flight and it’s all been working neatly, with doubled FPS. DOUBLED.
Casuals are on both platforms, just to get this outta the way.
But it was funny, in a Facebook group on Day1 an Xbox guy went to complaining that the sim is trash, “iCaNt EvEn GeT oFf ThE gRoUnD” while he tried to takoff from water in the outside view with a speed of about 40knots, no flaps and a screaming stall horn. crashing back to the ground multiple times.
But of course, the Sim is the problem… 
I don’t understand the “this sim is for xbox only posts”. It was PC users crying out for better performance. There were tons of posts about it here and everyone on PC was excited for a “performance patch”. Now it’s been delivered and some people are not happy with it - it’s xbox fault lol
I’m not sure why you are getting this. I have an xbox controller too and had issues with the bluetooth connection creating the xinput profile. That’s a bluetooth driver/compatability issue (not MSFS) and is solved by using the xbox connection dongle. The controller is oncorrectly recognised through bluetooth.
Beyond that, none of my controls have been messed up and work exactly the way they worked before the update. That includes keyboard, mouse, alpha yoke, bravo throttle and xbox controller.
“This whole “downgrade for xbox” narrative is just plain wrong”
Why, do you have anything to prove that quality wasn’t sacrificed for FPS to wider support lower capacity hardware?
Also you haven’t really read my comment:
“Rather than just allowing this to be different for PC and Xbox.”
I just don’t follow the logic not branching this for two different hardware platforms - especially as this is a configuration issue.
How about just playing the game? Yesterday I flew over Paris and it was as beautiful as always.
It’s the other way around, YOU need to proof that the game was downgraded…
I’m keen to see what the 3rd party High-Fidelity plane devs have to say about all this…do they see their future revenue disappearing? They surely can’t sit comfortably with what’s going on here.
“YOU need to proof that the game was downgraded…”
Eh?
See the post

(Disappointed in Sim Update 5)
Or the many other complains on this board?
yes sure, such hard proof statements such as “cloud quality decreased even at ultra”, I’ve seen these “clouds have been downgraded” threads since Alpha.
PMDG didn’t sound too happy. Of course publicly they can’t divulge. But I bet internally there was some cursing. And this is so much worse than just starting from scratch. Basically they have this complex machine developed and now they have no clue where the bugs will pop up, unless they re-test every scenario. That’s money lost, development time on other projects lost, perhaps even customers lost.
I have the DC-6 flying with still some problems. The FBW Airbus just crashes the sim. Luckily I don’t have any other payware.
I’m just so glad I don’t have any payware ( not even the Game Pass sub anymore as of today).
I was just about to pull the trigger on a Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo combo before this “thing” came out of the swamps… disaster avoided. -.-
Well I’m not sure either. Bad coding perhaps. Uninformed decisions? Also they completely changed the default profiles with this horrid new scheme. Also CTDs during flight. Everything looking slightly over exposed and LODs all broken.
I’m as angry as anyone here…but X-Plane runs on a phone. Point is, this is a lousy rollout…and it downgraded the sim. They went from the best sim, hands down, to the best sim below 15,000 feet that crashes a lot. There’s a collective eye-roll going on…a collective sigh. No longer can you count on starting the sim at the end of a long day and going for a relaxing flight. It’s not something you can count on.
Not sure what in your comment was worth flagging to someone, I do entirely agree with you regardless.
While I’m not nearly as impacted as others, regarding crashes and problems, right now I dearly miss update 4…I’d take lower fps and longer loading times anyday, over what was introduced with SU5. Something just doesn’t feel right with this update. If I could, I’d revert in a heartbeat.
Agree as well, then they say they don’t suppress opinions here.
