Discussion + Poll: Sim Update V (1.18.13.0)

Like this

Switching to another app, then back and hit PrtSc before the thing comes back :joy:

Is there a way to turn the brightness hike back down? (without external shaders)

PrtScr doesn’t work with HDR as far as I know. I use NVIDIA ShadowPlay to take HDR screenshots as JPEG XR, then convert them to SDR JPEGs with my own software.

sitting here waiting for the CRJ to load for what feels like forever what the hell man

Just as a test. Do you have an external trim wheel? I fly c172 almost exclusively with no issues. Got a saitek cessna trim wheel, multi panel trim wheel and bravo trim. All work fine. I’ll test the VC when I get dlying again. Had to reinstall :astonished_face:

Yes I also have the Cessna trim wheel and a elevator trim switch all working normally on other aircraft I have flown so far. The problem seems to be with the stock steam gage C172 were attempting to adjust elevator trim by any means result in abrupt full trim travel in either direction. I am seeing other postings reporting similar elevator trim issues after this update. I was also surprised to find that with the aircraft I flew with working elevator trim the Cessna trim wheel Axis setting had to be reversed.

So weird. I flew 20+ hours with the same setup. No issues. Hope you get this sorted out. Zendesk?

I’ve had the sim since it launched last year and usually play on my PC, but I downloaded it on my Xbox Series X today and it works perfectly on there and I haven’t had any issues at all. I haven’t even had the ‘scenery pop in’ that people are talking about on here, so maybe that’s just a PC version issue? When I pan around, the pop in doesn’t occur like people are reporting here for the PC version. Pretty odd, though, that it would only happen on the PC version and not the Series X version.

I’ve had no “scenery pop-in” behavior flying around LA at Ultra. At least nothing I noticed.

Are you using the photogrammetry version of L.A. or the default version? I should add that if enough people complain about the same issue and let Asobo know, they’re bound to look into it and you’ll hopefully see improvements later this year when SU6 comes or if they release a patch/hot fix. I’m sure most complaints from GamePass people will be ‘why can’t I crash into my house?’ or something along those lines.

The default is photogrammetry, so I am using photogrammetry which is the default.

I have no problems with LA scenery except the lack of ATC at all airports.

Absolutely nightmare, update is great when I notice performance has tremendously improved, FPS improves and no more stutter. However, I cant even play the game for 5 straight mins. It keeps crashing, I uninstalled and re-installed , nothing has corrected this problem, It is so frustrated. Last version 1.17, both A320 and 787 's autopilot are not working , this update has fixed that issue , but i cant even play the game at all.. OMG

Have you uninstalled all of your mods, if you have any? It should be stated that mods that haven’t been made compatible with SU5 will make the game unstable and crash. If mod authors didn’t update their mods to be compatible with it then it won’t work, so a lot of mods that are on Flightsim won’t work with it whatsoever because they work with the previous version, SU4. I have no idea why Asobo made it so that mods that worked with SU4 are incompatible with SU5, but there it is.

I also want to reiterate that Marketplace downloads are also mods. :slight_smile:

I wish Flightsim would put out a big announcement stating this because so many mods are on there that only work with the previous version and if nothing is done people’s games will be crashing left and right. A lot of the mods I use haven’t even been updated for a few months so they’re definitely not compatible with SU5.

Quoting my own post here as I need to add an addendum. I’ve had more time in the sim since I wrote it and have tried a lot harder to find the “popping” syndrome that some people are so livid about. I have to say now that I was able to observe the phenomenon. I also have to say that I had to look hard to notice it and even when I did see it, I didn’t find it at all obtrusive, annoying or immersion breaking, it was almost like just seeing it out of the corner of my eye. It didn’t add ANY form of jerkiness or stuttering and the view was at all times very fluid and smooth.

If this is the only price we have to pay for the stellar improvement to frame rates and overall fluidity then I for one am not at all disappointed.

That was odd, the sim completely locked up. I couldn’t alt-tab back to it and in the taskbar it showed a smaller version of the next pic without the green successfully reconected


I couldn’t focus the window until the reconnected mesaage was there.

However the sim was still locked, can’t press ok, no response to esc. Another minute later this screen appeared, which finally let me click ok

After clicking ok the sim continued. Yet why did it completely lock up before. I hope it doesn’t happen again. (The servers are working btw and multiplayer was still visible and active, terrain data was turned off, worked fine after turning it back on)

Small issue: ATC no longer remembers callsigns
 :confused:

I’ve heard the sim has issues when Live Ai Traffic is on and when Multiplayer is enabled also and that also causes the sim to freeze or crash. I usually have both disabled in general, but I can’t speak for everyone else. I also disabled both on my Xbox Series X version and haven’t had any issues, either.

I do see it loud and clear

But it does run 10 to 15 fps faster than before and puts me over 30fps, even close to 40fps without video recording.

I don’t know what’s more immersion breaking, lower fps or constant adjustments to the surroundings (the extra softness after SU5 doesn’t help).

Just made a flight that I use a lot and FPS was 85 fps, up from 35 to45. So far so good.

Edit FPS good the rest useless. How can I get rid of flashing blue lights on cockpit controls, I tried and CTD, the first in over six months. Third party apps even from WT fail. I want to know how long I need to wait for the fixes?
