Discussion + Poll: Sim Update 9 (1.25.7.0)

I de-bloated my Nvidia driver using the the method often shown online/youtube etc. I think i’m gonna go back and reinstall the latest driver again using “recommended” settings. Nothing wrong, it’s just things feel a bit off to me, i don’t know…

I have been critical of these updates in the past. Some were a complete joke. Performance degrades, crashes, bizarre glitches, lousy photogrammetry (Portugal locations got shafted, for sure.)

I will say this: my experience with this last has been quite good. Nvidia driver 512.59 has been excellent in my other games and stellar here. With the exception of 30 St Mary Axe (“The Gherkin”) so broken on both the game and the Orbyx DLC for a year, everything looks better than I’ve ever seen it. I actually enable the UK photogrammetry now. (It needs refinement, but it is drastically better than it ever was.) No crashes at any time, no bogus setting changes. I didn’t even empty the Community folder.

Now perhaps they can finally deal with 1) the post-landing parking and 2) the amusement park /bridge situations.

On the former, the planes still start veering out of control after landing, as if the CPU has seized control. But the directions have nothing to do with the parking destinations. It becomes impossible to steer left or right, depending on the whim of the CPU process. Outrageous, and true for more than a year.

On the latter, all bridges, rollercoasters / roundabouts / ferris wheels should be models. Not photogrammetry. The US theme parks were left as muddy, distorted, primitive trash. Coney Island in-game still looks like a toddler’s clay improvisations…

Asobo, the only developer that releases a HOTFIX more than two weeks later :joy: :joy:

They promised us a patch release not a hotfix, it’s the users that misread it.

We sure could do with this patch release ASAP though.

I guess “patch” is spelled h-o-t-f-i-x then :crazy_face::

Haha ok you got me there. I was going by the statement they made and missed that reference in the image.

I am now starting to notice more frequent CTD’s on the Series X now. I’ve had a large increase in them as of late. Not sure what they’ve broken with this update but those issues do need to be looked at/addressed.

At this point as well, I’ve sort of given up on the developer actually improving their communication like they said they would (spoiler alert, they haven’t) so I’ll just sit and wait. All we can do really.

Hardly the only developer. Take a look at new Steam releases for proof of this. Hotfixes in a few days are likely for EA titles.

Just to add insult to injury, somehow SU 9 wiped out all of my logged flight time, a little over 100 hours. The silver lining, I guess, is that with the blizzard of other chaos that the last two updates have caused, the lost flight time is the least of my worries. Won’t matter anyway if they don’t fix EVERYTHING they just broke, because this is their last chance with me.

Were you in the beta?

Yes the wiped out log happens when you went into the beta then ran the non beta with the same account. For many people out was being in the beta then rolling back when they didn’t like it. For me it was that my xbox was in the beta and my pc was not.

Anyone having trouble getting the drone camera inside the small 2-story building in BIIR? When i try to get inside, the camera immediately switches back to the roof of the building.

Same with Cote D’azur when i try to get inside the circle shaped main terminal.

Used to be able to do that in SU8. I reinstalled my graphic driver with no luck, which leads me to think it’s an SU9 thing?

These are handcrafted airports. I have no such problem with 3rd party airports.

I’m having trouble stopping the CTD when I try and setup a flight. Stop playing until next patch which is unacceptable for a game I have paid for yet we get no compensation for the issues Asobo keep causing.

I have some doubts that entries on Logbook is lost…
I got replay about Logbook entries from support that they do not care about it. Even on closed platform like Xbox.

I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but today, plenty of flights in many aircraft(only short, messing around) no ctds, all instruments working on 737,a320, e195, small aircraft… Xbox s… Maybe its me, live weather off.

E195? Is the flightplan loading correctly in the MCU?

Yes it did today. I was shocked to say the least

Seriously? Wow man thx, gonna take a look right now. Waiting for that for 2 weeks.

Well, here it isn’t. Still flightplan discontinuiti…

I play on xbox cloud and it constantly disconnects for me and crashes all the time since su9. I’ve lost all faith in Asobo and don’t believe they will ever get the sim stable.
