Discussion: Patch 1.8.3.0 Update

Good: Better framerate on the load screens

Bad: Program crashes about halfway down the runway on takeoff. Same behavior 3 different times!

Steam edition. Nothing customized, stock airplanes/settings

SO HAPPY WITH THIS NEWS!!! Downloading the update now! 16gb update is massive!!!

Before people just come on here to criticize about this or that, take a breath
 they’re obviously improving things (one by one, little by little) but we’ve got to credit Asobo for listening!!!

Just fired up the Airbus (the mod) and so far things are looking pretty good. I just noticed that altitude constraints can now be set in the FMC. Gives me hope that VNAV now works.

eeeeeeehm Forum get me out after while, looks serious net problem on MS now with new patch release


Very annoying bug. Every 30 seconds the glass cockpit in certain situations resets to very dim brightness. You can increase it using the knob only for it to reset to dim 30 seconds later.

You can see in the picture attached that the avionics brightness is full right but the dimness is very low.

Not a huge revolution in terms of FPS on my side either
 :expressionless:
It’s a bit better but A320 in KLAX with traffic at 80% gets me 17-23 fps

Same here. Tried a320 and 747 at Chicago, Las Vegas and Copenhagen and everytime after takeoff the game crashed.

Live weather is STILL broken. Airports reporting 2 SM visibility are clear in the sim.

taking for ever to download. stops every 2-3 minutes and gets stuck

How did you know what was and not going to be included in the patch? I don’t think even the developers knew what was going to be in the patch last week. Look at how vague the list is. It was all encompassing for literally every aspect of the simulator. The only line that provided data was the weather update.

    Performance improvements
    ATC updates
    UI updates
    Aerodynamic updates
    Aircraft updates
    Cockpit visuals and animation updates
    General aviation system updates
    General aviation avionic updated
    Airliner system updates
    Airliner avionic updates
    Live Weather updates – (e.g. 225/3kt wind fixed, persistency fixed, etc.)
    Upgraded multiplayer servers
    Marketplace updates
    Content Manager updates
    Localization updates
    Accessibility updates
    Camera updates
    Bush Trip updates (e.g. completion trigger fixed/Completionist achievement fixed)
    World updates

Same here, Donegal - Edimburg and I’m crashing 5min later after take off
 Tried 5 times with different settings

Do you have that enhanced G1000 pack (forgot actual name) installed?

Same here. And if I hadn’t checked the Task Manager for network traffic, I still wouldn’t know whether the download is still running or the update process is just really slow. Is it really that hard to show some kind of download rate on the update screen, Asobo?

Same.
Massive performance improvement but stability problem
