I have none of these performance increases I’m seeing posted. My fps are the same. Around 30-40fps at the best of times external and around 20-30fps in the 'pit. But they are jumping around more than before so does feel more choppy and less smooth.
My gpu useage has actually decreased and now only uses 50-65ish% when before SU5 it was always 80-100% so im thinking this might be why it is also a lot choppier when panning the camera than the smoothness I had before.
I could write a lot more here, but I sent all the new problems I am experiencing with this update through zendesk as feedback…
On one side the fps is basically the same no matter what aircraft I fly now, so that IS something and do notice roughly the same drop in fps when in the cockpit vs external view. Didn’t notice a change when adding things back in my community folder either. So all those ‘complex’ scenery addons and other aircraft I own all seem to fall inline with what I see vs a vanilla sim.
My specs: Ryzen 1600AF @4ghz. RTX2080. 32Gb ram.
Settings are mostly on high with a few things turned down. I have changed none since the update.
It’s a shame. Took me an age to download everything (close onto 8hrs) to feel like a lot of things have gotten somewhat worse for me.
All the other updates have actually gone a lot smoother for me than this one.
Everything was great for me prior to the update. I do get a noticeably better framerate, however we are back to CTD’s. I have i7 7700k, 32GB Ram, 1080ti, Honeycomb yoke and throttle and TM TPR rudders, windows 10 up to date and playing in oculus VR. The issues I have seen so far are, radio in carenado 170 doesn’t turn on when avionics is on, Crash to desktop randomly, will try updating all optional packages. One other thing, the new dial clicking is not good in VR, we need an option to go back to the previous button pressing and dial turning. Other than those things the update seems great.
If people aren’t also reporting these issues to Asobo or Zendesk then they won’t get fixed or will be swept under the rug. I get the feeling they rushed the update to make the sim playable for Xbox Series X and to be able to get all of those GamePass console subscribers as well. It’s a theory, but it could be true. I would hope it’s not but…
Reported my experience. No answer so far. Been having one ctd after another. Managed to fly for 20mins in total since they update completed 4 hours ago… What a crying shame!
Edit: for those who will ask… Yes, the community folder was empty!
Is trim broken or is it just me? I’ve had my Elevator Trim Axis (-100 to 100) set to a radial dial on my throttle for a year and it’s worked perfectly.
After the update the pitch wheel in cockpit is behaving as if it’s only reaching 50% up or down even when the radial dial I’m moving with my thumb is at 100%.
I’ve just noticed a truly bizarre effect while doing some camera panning tests before replying to another thread - this one if anyone is interested.
I used my little app to teleport from where I was currently tooling around (near YBOK) to central London and my fps instantly tanked to 10fps and stayed there. Not to worry I thought, the servers are busy and it might take a while for everything to stream in - nope it stayed at 10-11 fps all the way to EGLL. I then quit back to the world map and spawned in normally in the air at EGLL - this time the frames were normal and locked at 30fps all the way to Big Ben.
Seems there might be some anomaly/maybe bug with instant teleportation. I’d be interested to hear from anyone else who has access to instant teleportation and can reproduce the phenomenon.
If you don’t have a teleport tool and would still like to try it out then this app will get you going.
I find the sim crashes after every package is updated in Content Manager. Note that on the “bundles” it crashes only when the entire bundle is downloaded during “Please Wait”, NOT on the “Please Wait” after individual packages. This leads me to believe that the crash happens when the sim tries to load the files that were actually just updated.
yes - I just clicked on it - and restarted the download process. I guess I’m lucky in that the initial Store download was about 1:45 minutes and the follow up from content manager was just over an hour.
Also - when I checked to see if I was connected to the internets on my PC - it was connected with no interruption - so I checked the Store connection (good) and the Xbox live connection (also good) so either that warning is false or it was a server side issue
Download speed was much much better and I was able to get about 200mbps+ at the end. Minimum was about 15mbps. Once updated, no issues starting and playing the game. Didn’t have to copy the community folder (I am not sure if I have one).
Performance is now much much better. See below: I was able to finally run 4K@ULTRA mode and still got around 40+ FPS but to achieve this I had to update my Windows 10 Display Freq setting from 30Hz to 60 Hz (sucker, this was limiting me at 30 fps before). I am waiting to see what happens once I upgrade my CPU to i9-11700K w/ proper Gaming Motherboard.
The update took long as usually especially after having to update my content also I wish they could do all that at the same time, anyway so far having issues with the first training mission, can’t get past the hiding yoke part as clicking the yoke doesn’t work and can’t find any bindings for that in Controller settings. The others thing so far, is the default binding for trimming no longer works in the X-Cub. Most other controls work except needing to reverse the horizontal view axis. It’s a Logitech X56 and the trim has always been bound to the top throttle wheel. It shows it’s working in settings and the animation looks to be moving.
I hope I don’t have to wait for another update like the last time controller issues were messed up for the instrument dials moveing 10 degrees instead of one degree increments.
I’m trying to reinstall MSFS for months now, I threw it off my computer after it kept looping on one of the updates. I now have the rule for myself, I’m not gonna put any extra effort into it, if it doesn’t work first time around I’ll chuck it in the bin and try again next update, so far no luck.
The update was not very smooth. It stoped trying to decompress a small file for one hour. I deleted the donwloaded file from the Original../../../ folder and then with the new download it went well until the end.
After the update I had 2 CTD before even the main menu. The 3rd time I was able to play and the results are really very impressive.
With my setup I gained around +20 fps with 25% less VRAM and 25% less RAM.
Ryzen 7 1800x + GTX 1660 + 16GB RAM
I had ZERO stutter and zero freezes, much better than before.
I suspect the game will not be playable for some while … unfortunately. Regular freezes, crashes, trims broken and I’m pretty sure there’ll be more as I test more :(( . Good luck in patience for all of us..
Just out of curiosity did you bind Elevator Trim Axis to the top rotary dial on the X56? That’s what mines set to but after the update the dial behaves as if it’s at 50% when fully rotated up or down, despite being at 100% in the sensitivity menu.
I have elevator trim bind to Logitech Pro Throttle control.
What I have managed to test (in those periods when the game is not frozen :)) is that in Cessna caravan it behaves about same as you described ~ with 50% sensitivity. When I loaded CJ4, the trim is even crazier. It has some sort of lag or inertia moving slowly to happily to +100% or -100% and nothing can stop it lol
