I wish I knew what mod creates the smoke because I see same geometric pattern.
I don’t understand. This is the 10th post iv’e seen referring to Smoke. Like when you Crash? Factory Chimneys ?? What is supposed to smoke in MSFS?
@MoosHyperon8504 You can’t just “put it back”. Most of the mods in there are probably not compatible with SU5. It’s a huge change in the entire programmatic structure of the sim, so you either have to wait for the mod makers themselves to come out with updates, or start putting them back in slowly, one, maybe two, if you’re really lucky maybe even 5-10 at a time. But taking them out isn’t just for while the download lasts, it’ll take time. And it’s likely that at least some of your mods will not ever be updated, as freeware mods get abandoned all the time.
'Tis the nature of the beast. And given that amazing things I’ve seen from this update so far, it’s more than worth it.

i’ve only tried 2 mods so far, the vertigo and the h135 (after updating it), and both flew as expected.
i suppose i must be one of the lucky ones since i’ve had zero issues with either the update or the game itself. though admittedly, i haven’t really flown anywhere today, just flew around NYC all day.

For me there is a lot of performance improvements and I’m happy that I’m able to finally run it on 4k without massive lots of fps.

I mean technically there was a tile streamer add-on for FSX but it was very hard to get it setup and working, and it doesn’t work with P3D and there’s of course no autogen.
I very much doubt Laminar would team up with Google, Esri and Laminar maybe but I doubt Google will.
with the amount of issues on the SU5, i’m wondering did they allow the beta testers (from the community) to test it before release?

I’m very confused, everything was working great PMDG DC-6 which is a very complex add on was a joy to fly. Now I don’t even know how to click on a switch. It just turns blue with a pop up menu that doesn’t seem to do anything. The planes used to look creamy smooth, now they look brittle. I’m not sure where I’m missing the point, I know others are flying but for me, I can’t even begin to move the plane. It’s like the whole sim has been completely ruined.

Installation: Fine. No crashes, constant speed. Still had to lock the fps in the menu via Radeon Software though… My GPU shouldn´t heat the room during the 4h download… Still no reason for a menu to be so demanding.
Load times: Much faster once the main menu loaded.
Performance: Decent increase in fps, even on my ancient FX-8350. Solid 30 is mostly possible once all the assets are loaded. New are some heavy stutters when panning the camera around. Can make the sim feel worse than before SU5. Here have some video of Rio with my settings: https://youtu.be/Uxl5YCBKAxI
Quality: Something changed. Water looks fine. Colors seem brighter, buildings… blockier? Honestly still beatiful on a Plasma but a little different than before.
Controls: Once i loaded my custom controller profile the white dot was gone, everything else seems fine so far.

make sure to go to General settings → accessibility → cockpit interactions and switch to legacy

So far absolutely hate it! UI is taking more steps to get things right, the cockpit tips, even on “legacy” are now larger and boxy making it harder to see the rest of the panel, the mouse control for cut off on the throttle for the TBM 930 is only jumping up and down instead of allowing it to be moved, and that’s just what I’ve found so far. If MSFS ran like this when I first got it I would have gotten a refund.

Thank you, now I can flip a switch. I’m still not entirely sure why you have to go into “legacy” mode to perform the basic functions of a simulator or what the change was supposed to improve.
I am ecstatic with this update. THANKS SO MUCH OSOBO!!! I’m speechless and can’t find the words.

no problem many people seem unsatisfied with the new interactions and I wouldn’t disagree with them. I myself isn’t a big fan of it either.

Anyone notice this…seems like the terrain textures further away now look terrible…it will only be “refreshed” to look better as you get closer…not sure what is this called and how to fix this? Anyone know if there is any setting that can help textures further away look better? Now inside my cockpit, i can literally see 2 different textures of surrounding terrains, the nearer look good but the slightly further away simply look horrible.
So far a great update, I notice some minor bugs but overall is a huge performance increase here. Everything runs smooth, have not had a CTD yet.

Have you deleted your rolling cache ? Apparently this has caused issues with some people,. Always a good Idea after an update as you end up trying to mix new data with old data.
