Hi all,
I would like to ask, Does any body has graphics quality issues after the last update? If yes what is the solution

Everybody on Xbox has this issue. The solution is wait for mid January. They have a fix for it ready but let us wait until then.

Is it only on XBOX? Or also found on PC and cloud?

Seems to be an Xbox only issue due to a bug in frame rate detection which results in the Xbox reducing fidelity without real reason. They’ll fix it, we just need to be veeeery patient. Which is hard I must admit. Not playing at the moment because of this.

If this was a PC problem, it would be patched immediately.

I just saw that a 3 gig update was installed for the sim on xbox. I havent turned on the sim since the last update since a fix was promised for mid januarym can anyone confirm if the visuals are fixed with this last update? I have unplugged all my peripherals and moved rhe xbox to a different room and now im afraid to turn on the sim without my peripherals in fear of the sim erasing my settings for them.
I am overtly paranoid/cautious with this sim lol.

Just downloaded the update. Release notes for 1.29.30.0
they fix mostly issues with the A310 and some general crash issues.
Nothing in the update relates to the game breaking LOD reduction on entire Xbox platform.
Anyone know why the developers can release updates like this but can’t update the broken Xbox version? Why does it have to wait for a full SU? They just pushed a ton of specific A310 fixes.
Sorry but I find this whole debacle sad.

I did a couple quick night flights earlier, maybe seeing a slight night lighting improvement

No one knows why. They seem not find this issue a big problem, contrary to the record topic with over 1400 posts about this issue.

Haven’t flown, was hoping the notes mentioned a graphics fix but didn’t.
Any other changes? So now it’s lousy graphics AND big frame drop?
No fps problems but graphics looks like ■■■■ in the distance, also (a sep post) Ive got shimmering going on quite bad.
Yeah, it doesn’t make any sense and no one has provided further details on why we have a 2 month wait. We were told there would be an update on progress last week but I have not seen anything on it yet. It would be awesome if it is possible to get a fix in a Beta update sooner, but unclear if that will be an option.
It’s great that we’re getting very quick updates and refinements to the A310, but I’d think graphical fidelity for a large chunk of users should be a higher priority. I guess there are blockers or dependencies that are preventing a quicker rollout of the LOD bug fix, but then the question would be what is taking higher priority than the graphics problem.

An A310 circuit break switch not working is tiny beans compared to completely wrecked global graphics.
Only option we have is to complain loudly. Sorry, but an acknowledgment and a future fix date is not sufficient when it’s such a huge problem with all Xbox users. Needs to be escalated.
I’m in the customer service world for a living, an issue this wide ranging would not be allowed to be pushed off……our customers would be grabbing pitchforks.

Exactly. I am also suspending marketplace purchases, because it seems like customer action is the only thing that may change the incentive to make this big problem a priority.

SU 11 was released as part of the 40th Anniversary of the Flight Simulator franchise, so it was a hard deadline associated with core sim updates for native glider and helicopter support. They will not be able to roll back to SU 10 to fix the LOD issue for that reason, and it does not appear necessary to do so as they’ve already fixed the issue on their end of things.
Why they cannot or will not push this fix sooner than Jan 2023 remains a vague mystery other than a brief mention by Jorg of some blocker related to their current flighting/beta testing.

The issue was immediately logged in beta testing SU11. The developer was well aware, they made a conscious decision to proceed regardless….which makes with whole ordeal even more frustrating.

Pixelated, shimmering objects in the distance, such as the blades of the windmills - are that a part of the problem, or is that something else?? 1440 / TAA
Fired up the A310 as well as my PDMG 737 today. Stutter, stutter… Nothing near what I was seeing about a month ago. What IS going on?
The last update 1.29.30.0 destroyed the sim. I have the same issue.
