12GB of VRAM is somehow a hardware limitation now? Really Asobo?

I just want to download my planes and airports if I want. Just as was promised and the reason I bought it. I dont want a all streaming ‘experience’, it’s marketing talk.

Marketplace not available until “early 2025”. That’ll go down like a lead balloon. :weary:

Only the easy questions with simple answers. Why are there no questions about the state of VR? Like EFB, Toolbar, Mouse etc, these need urgent fixes. They blame everything on the user and their hardware, like LOD problems and blurry textures. This is getting worse and worse.

The stream has not given me much confidence in the future of the simulator as a “serious” platform (for my needs, maybe not yours before anyone jumps on me).

Its performance and experience is always going to be vulnerable because of the streaming architecture (which I think was a mistake) and as someone who likes my sim to be tweaked to as perfect as it can be on my machine, I’m not sure I can tolerate even the potential for bad texturing due to an internet blip if I’m spending hours doing a flight.

I might as well sim on the Xbox, and the reason that I don’t do that already is because it’s a limited platform compared to a PC.

Now you’ve limited the software too.

The stream hasn’t finished yet. The topic could be raised.

True, although being able to enable/disable in the meantime helps.

In short, if I’m not entirely wrong with the conclusions I draw from the stream:

There will be no offline patch and if there is an internet outage you can’t play.

It’s depressing.

These answers are an utter joke. My god.

“H125 Trim doesn’t function” - “Our variation has no trim”

Yeah 
 but our hardware DOES have springs. Are you kidding?! Do you expect us to buy a dedicated spring less flight stick just to use the H125?

going thru 20 bugs 1x1 is a waste of time, get to the answers vs reading off a slide like grammar school. don’t read a slide to me

There will NEVER be an offline patch and if there is an internet outage you can’t play. This is known table stakes for this game.

I’m not surprised by that, it’d require everything to be redesigned. That’s like asking Blizzard to make an offline patch for WoW. Might as well just make a new sim at that point.

How about the fact that people with extremely high end computers and a good knowledge of following forum fixes that work, are constantly finding they can’t even get the game to start. Imagine all the little children with computers that can’t figure out why the game won’t start.

If 2020 had it, nothing prevents it from being done for 2024, it is practically the same base with additions


It is odd to hear them say that, yes they fixed the Tobii CTD, but they are seeing in chat that there are other issues that they need to investigate.

What?!

They are completely unaware that the interface for configuring Tobii not only doesn’t work, but doesn’t even make any sense whatsoever?

They needed us, in Twitch chat, to tell them that.

Lord help us.

Yep
and that Jorgs laughter :frowning: when someone with 4090 said on chat that there is VRAM problem.

I just want the blurry ground textures fixed, well that’s the main thing, there are plenty of other bugs. Seems like it’s not a priority though

It’ll be nice to not have taxi lights that blind you, along with a career mode that doesn’t feel like you’re flying in a constant tornado.

They still have a long ways to go though.

I ran the game for around 1 week until the last update. I deleted the streamed package folder contents and the game started once. Now it wont start. This is so much fun!!
