What a miserable update installation experience. Thank GOD I download at 300mbs+ or I would have lost my mind. Start downloading get 2 gb in, locks up. Restart the game. Do this 3/4 more times. Try different world updates to patch same thing, restart restart restart. Delete USA WU(first one on the list), it locks up, restart. Finally load the entire WU USA at lightning speed. Delete the next, locks up, restart. rinse and repeat through the others. Got a more than a little sick of the 2 minute restart screens after a bit. Will actually try to PLAY it later. How in the world would someone who doesnāt frequent forums and bought this off the shelf get through this process?. It canāt even update ITSELF, on XBOX. I can only imagine at 12mbs if you get 3 gigs in and it freezes. Makes you a bit nuts, including the blackshark splash screen, arenāt they the group that put every boat underwater and AI planes that cant figure out what to do after landing or takeoff, or just the maniac equipment ever driving across the runways? But I digress.
Will delve into whatever changed after the kiddies go to bed.
CTD>> Download went well, no issues. Through store for PC. Cleaned out comm folder prior. Went to world map to start flight. CTD. opened in safe mode went well and map opened up. Now trying to identify which comm folder providing issues. Long process. Reloaded in normal mode-CTD
Same issue here with the sound in VR. I can get it through my headphones or speakers but not my VR headset even if I set it specifically to the headset sound device. I use the Valve Index with SteamVR.
OKā¦ Havenāt flown yet but experienced some CTDs with Content Manager updates on Steam/PC version. Highlighted several items to update - hit Update - CTD. Restart sim in regular mode. Highlight Asobo Aviat Husky to update - hit Update - CTD. Restart sim in SAFE mode. Highlight World Updates - Update. All good. The rest of updates went smooth during Safe Mode. Never had these issues before - havenāt changed any contents of the Community folder since the last couple of updates.
The fixes to the Boeing sound good. Wish the prop effect was not āoptionalā like a gimmick, instead part of a realistic flight model for all aircraft. Much of this update seems to be geared to making the game better for xbox. This is making the sim limited in depth as as well as a waste of dev time on nerfing the sim to make it a game and promoting arcade models so they can be sold to xbox.
Came here for the gnashing of teeth. Was not disappointed.
Anybody had an issue with the update wiping out control settings? Mine are ok, but a buddy of mine is pretty mad that all his configurations he had to set up are gone.
I had the same issue. Just keep at it and youāll get it done. I had to restart the sim five times. My opinion is the servers are on fire with the entire world downloading at the same time.
The enhanced aerodynamics modelling is āoptionalā for 3rd Party Developers to use in their addons right away. Itās part of the core sim experience for anyone flying the stock Asobo Cessna 152, Cessna Grand Caravan, or King Air starting today. It will be rolled out to additional aircraft in the base sim in future updates.
My Xbox controller which I use only as a drone cam now seems bound to the rudders pedals which is incredibly annoying. I donāt know how to make it work as a drone cam again.
Yeah, I meanā¦ I totally get it. MSFS is a very complicated product, and as time goes on, software gets more complicated instead of less. Theyāre dealing with lots of moving parts, and they are to be commended for the awesome leap from where we were at launch until now.
ā¦but if we could pump the brakes on the ātwo steps forward, one step backā reality of each Sim and World Update, thatād be great.
I noticed that in SU7 as well. There was a jet at Exeter airport EGTE taxiing onto the runway and it was so loud that I could still hear it using the drone cam a few miles away when I was exploring the estuary.
Update was smooth as butter. Tested with 3 short flights and performance is still good. Only thing I noticed so far on the world map is, when you pick runway 25L at KLAX, the selection point is missing.
I flew one flight (KPDX - KSEA) after the update and it was fine. I wanted to do a return trip back to KPDX and the sim crashed-to-desktop just as I was about to push from the gates. I never have serious issues after updates so this is a first.
( except for THIS constant bug that has been an issue since update 5. Please fix it! )
I got a crash to desktop while playing with the C208 prop, I submitted a Zendesk, but maybe some of you might try to dupeā¦ Took off max performance short field, then leveled at a couple k feet aglā¦ Throttle to idle and then feather. I was checking glide feathered vs full forward. after feather, I went full forward on the prop and checked my new glide (didnāt change much, Iām really not seeing much with these new prop dynamics).
Anyhow, then throttled up to resume normal flight at boom CTD. The only add on in play at the time really was the WT G1000 NXi, but I really doubt that was the issue.
Have had no other issues today after a few hours of flights, so I think it was an engine/prop logic thing that popped.
