Discussion + Poll: Sim Update VIII (1.23.12.0)

It’s a great app. Now all I need is a sim that’s reliable. :disappointed_relieved:

This is this:

Thanks, I’m going to look at that tonight. Thing is, I only use keys for atc (I use trackir for cameras) and apart from the key that open atc they’re all default

Are your assignments in the alternate (right hand box) in the keybinding?

The issue happens not just with view assignments, it’s anything that you’ve bound with two bindings and the alternate (right hand box) is the one that acts like it’s receiving multiple inputs.

I totally agree. They’ve made a really good looking sim now they should optimize the sim performance, polish up dx12 and leave the rest to the professionals, 3rd party developers with decades of experience. Of course they would take their percentage and keep the servers running.

Unreal.

At first, I thought this must be an error or a mistake. But then I saw this post where Jummivana says the change is by design??!?!??!!?

Sim Update 8 has made almost all roads look grassy now! What’s going on? How to fix this?

Oh good I thought it was just me or the sim UI screwing up LOL

Just an odd one here. Any users found radio nav problems since SU8? Especially Navigraph users? I mention this because last night in a multiplayer session (which was cross platform FSX/MSFS) a few aircraft, me included, could not get the ILS to capture. Today, I could not get either VOR or ILS frequencies to give me a DME reading either. I will look again tomorrow, but if you have seen similar, I would be keen to know.

Extremity Dead Zone values in Controller Sensitivity aren’t saved in the cloud anymore.

Worked fine for me pre update, now i have to set the values manually with every restart.

Been like that for ever, in many parts of the world – Color Mis-correction ? (to make the grass & trees look “Green” !!! )

Hello,

no probl with install as CTDs but for first MS Store started do update without any visual signs, my luck that I started check Start menu with Apps and only there was status indicated with update of Icon MSFS. My some important things for future update:

  1. QNH is looks like ok but probably you’ve forget also do update of Simconnect vars copy of correct value because on Vatsim is still see incorrect value of altitude, inside aircarft is all ok and also on ground but on higher altitiude looks like SWs still have incorrect value (ATC SW and other web apps f.ex.) pls check this because is still faulty. I think only some copy to correct var you’ve forget.

  2. now have problem with look to specific direction inside cockpit (I have defined some key and joy button) to simply after f.ex. looking around to go quickly to my defined direction. Looks strange, previously I needed click key 2x to go to my required front looking direction (system somehow remembered previous look so I needed click 2x to go to my look direction), now is sometimes simply impossible to do it, system simply filtering this somehow strangely and I need sometimes click more times my defined key what makes flight more dificult to do.

Next findings after more hours of flights. Thnx for good update…

Hello,

as always prior do update is simply recommended to uninstall (REMOVE) AIRAC, do update of sim and then return to install again AIRAC. This can help generally.

Thanks a lot. Now airac is the one thing that I havent previously uninstalled prior to updates, so it is something else that I cam add to the list in the future. I had my suspicions and I think you have confirmed them. Cheers!

No problem,

do now that uninstall or reinstall complete Navigraph SW in case of problems. Then install AIRAC as is listed with version, start sim and that’s all :wink: good flights…

So the problem where you had to make sure your mouse wasnt on a pop out box or you would lose controls has mostly been fixed…apart from my rudder pedals!

Usual crash to desktop when clicking on a button…this time appr button.
Crazy ATC requests …

Nice update.

So this is a weird one. I participated in the SU8 Beta and then the patch that came out a week or so ago. When SU8 rolled out publicly a few days ago, I dutifully exited via the XBox Insiders Hub, then got the formal update when I launched the sim later that day - pointed the installer at my custom path and had no big deal there, though I did not actually fly all week, merely updated the sim (that ELDEN RING grind, man …).

Anyway, launched the sim today to buy/test out the Staggerwing briefly and noticed my graphics settings had been changed substantially, from my Ultra with some few customizations (changed LODs mostly) down to High End. Fortunately, no other settings seem to have been changed.

I’d appreciate it if you would clarify for me:
Is this referring only to a Navigraph install? Specifically for users who have Navigraph installed?

Quite gloomy! Although I didn’t see any difference in frame rates and again I was switching between the different modes without a problem.

Sorry, I have just seen your kaleidoscope post and didn’t experience anything like that.

Another update and surprise another CTD while downloading content. Right back to where I was before with WU8. You need to do a much better job with your rights management. Booting my Xbox ID off every time you force me to update is unacceptable. Fix your XBOX to PC rights management!
