Gorgeous scenery, but cpu demanding. Customer support is second to none. I understand that they will be issuing a version 2.0, which will address some performance issues. Looking forward to that.

Does anyone have any idea when this is coming the the in-sim marketplace? I believe it’s been released on 3rd party portals.

A month ago (28 days) you indicated that V2 would be available on the marketplace in a couple of weeks. Is it now available and what version number should I see? Today I am seeing v 1.1.0.

I indicated? Or I copy and pasted FSS (who I am in no way affiliated with) announcement?

I would suggest you follow up with FSS.

As a note, V2 is NOT an update to V1, it is a whole separate airport and gets downloaded as such (at least that’s the case outside of the MP, I would suspect MP will be the same).

I’m curious how they will handle that on MP actually since there’s no mechanism for free items from third party vendors at this time.

Sorry. I thought that you were affiliated with FSS. I will follow up with them.

11

When you hear back from them, mind letting us know?

I suspect they’ve already submitted the latest version to the store, but that the review is taking long.

12

Yes, the response I got was that he has cleared it for release and it should be released “anytime now”. Maybe today.

13

Hmmm…I’m not betting anything on it. Thanks for letting us know; the current Marketplace version is bringing my system to its knees.

14

Yes, I have uninstalled it for that reason.

We’ll I’ll be ■■■■■■. There IS an update for the airport… Let’s see how it goes…

Let me know how you find it.

The performance is a bit better on my system, that’s for sure.

For context, I have:
R5 3600X
RX 5700 XT
16GB
1080p Ultrawide
DX12

I went from around 30 FPS to about 35 FPS in back to back testing. So it’s not night-and-day, but it’s perceivable. I use FSLTL normally, but I disabled that to get an uncontaminated result.

I still get weird artifacts for a few the ships that gets added by this mod in the Port Area of Halifax and Dartmouth; see the below topic where I discussed it. Slight disappointment that this isn’t fixed (I reached out to the devs shortly after I opened the below thread), but I’ll take what I can get.

18

I remember you posting about this but I don’t think I was ever able to reproduce. I’ll try again though!

Great! I know TheSevenFlyer was able to reproduce the bug, so it’s not just me…

I didn’t forget about you :slight_smile:

Just about to land back in YYZ from ATL, jump onto the 737 to YHZ before crossing the pond to LHR.

Will check on touchdown later today :slight_smile:

Confirmed! I see it now (I probably always did but missed it somewhere).

I do have Maverick DLC installed as well as GAIST.
