Unnecessarily dense haze in the atmosphere with Live Weather
Clouds seem to be graining again, worst than before
Noon time looks way overexposed and bright for the whites (Absolutely a turn-off)
Getting ghosting on light poles in the airport
Possibly lost a single FPS or two
FBW, AIG AI all seem to work with the update (havent tried simbrief integration)
Night lighting looks better than before
I feel Asobo shouldnt have touched the weather for now, unless they were sure on how to control it.
They really need to sort out basics of the sim before launching new flying activity.
It’s not just the toolbar, but any menus that you open with the toolbar are not able to be interacted with or moved using the mouse. You can use a Xbox controller, but AFAIK you still can’t move windows around. It’s really strange because the game recognizes that your mouse pointer is over the various clickable areas… they just aren’t clickable.
It might be a change to PG areas, Mecca and Monument Valley discovery flights run smoothly, Freiburg was a choppy mess. Toronto is PG as well, where I first noticed a big drop.
I did not, I have steady 30fps as I have set in the Nvidia settings. Extremely smooth flying. And my GPU and CPU are not even melting when I’m at all ultra.
Yes, I’ve experienced it for myself now. In VR, the mouse ‘freezes’ any time I move it over a pop-up window. So I can interact with the window at all and I struggle to get the pointer to reappear to regain control!
I also found the mouse to go very laggy (movement stopping and starting every second or so) after trying to interact with some windows. After dropping out of VR and back in, it was OK again.
Not happy with the update for these reasons:
Cannot get TrackIR to work at all
This forces me to look around with the right-mouse button instead - which means all control freeze until I let go. It’s disastrous at times. (Yeah, I could map a hat switch but those are mapped to other things)
In VR, I can look around but I can’t interact with windows like checklists
Basically, both 2D and VR are broken; it’s a case of picking whichever one you can bear to put up with the broken parts of the most.
New content seems good at a glance; had a quick flight over central Nottingham which appears to be a very small photogrammetry area compared to other cities, but it wasn’t very enjoyable due to all the issues above. Same for the F/A-18 landing challenge as I struggled to look around.
I think the need to hit release dates (Xbox release for SU5 + GotY/Reno for SU7) is really having a negative impact on all. SU6 was great. This one is not.
I feel it needs a hotfix or two - this is no state to leave the sim in until January.
