Issues With the New Update

Discussion Hub General Discussion

Ok the first thing after updating I notice in VR (Oculus Rift S) is no way to turn on fuel tank selectors in the twin Baron. Also, I am now getting control indicators telling me what each lever and switch does. I found nowhere to turn that off in the settings. I had to empty my community folder to prevent CTDs, so that should take a week to figure out what is causing that. I guess it doesnt pay to put things in the community folder.

The scroll wheel ISNT WORKING NOW.

In the accessibility settings you can turn cockpit interaction to Legacy, which should fix your tool tip issue.

For the community folder, expect that most mods will require some form of update. Scenery and airports may be fine, but no guarantees.

The mouse scroll wheel isnt working in VR now. I cant even turn the key to start the engine.

Have you changed interaction to legacy?

5

Can’t find it.

If you mean in assistance options, I have custom, easy, medium, and hard.

No, sorry, it is under Genral > Accessibility > Cockpit Interaction System

See release notes here:

Cockpit interactions

Added the new “Lock” interaction system:

  • Set active by default but can be reverted to “Legacy” in Options / General Options / Accessibility.
  • Tooltips are now displaying the instrument name, instrument values, and controls (dynamic depending of the device in use)
  • Using the cursor or the camera center pointer, you can highlight any interactive cockpit instrument.
  • Once highlighted, you can interact with the instrument:
    • If the instrument is simple (buttons, 2 positions switches), tapping Xbox Controller A or Mouse left button will interact with it.
      If the instrument is complex (knobs, levers…), tapping Xbox Controller A or holding Mouse left button will lock on it.
    • Once locked on an instrument, you can:
      • Use primary (Xbox Controller A/ Mouse left button), secondary (Xbox Controller X/ Mouse right button) or tertiary (Xbox Controller Y/ Mouse middle button) interactions.
      • Increase/ decrease the instrument (Xbox Controller LT/ RT or Mouse wheel)
      • Use gestures (Xbox Controller left stick or Mouse movements)
      • Unlock the instrument (Xbox Controller B or release Mouse left button)

Turn off Ai traffic know as issue for CTD. Also add-ons not all are compatible cause CTD.

Asobo needs to pin their launch notes as this is maybe the 15th thread about people not understanding that the cockpit has changed from LEGACY to LOCKED and to revert it back, go into General > Accessibility

Server load will be an issue. Make sure your commmunity folder is empty. Also I suggest clearing rolling cache and manual cache. You should also delete the context.xml file that you can find in )store version) c:\users\yourusername\appdata\local\packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\localcache

This will be rebuilt on restart and will clear the sim of any memory of any mods you’ve previously had in the community folder

Might help with CTDs

Also make sure you are not overclocking - new performance = new strain on GPU/CPU

  1. Xbox ONE Controller (bluetooth) now not recongnized.

  2. Loading time last even more than before (I am tired wasting my life testing this game).

  3. Please, STOP advertising while loading. And stop “checking for updates” always I launch the game (maybe it can reduce the loading time). Also remove the videos to speed up the loading time.

I can not fly until the Xbox controller problem is fixed.

I want the option to remove the stupid Cursor dot, make it go invisible. I play on the PC with the gamepad and never had so many controller issues until this update.

Empty the community folder if you havent already.

I’m also experiencing this. I’ve tried changing the interaction to legacy as @gordongreig suggested, but no luck. I’m finding the same problem in the steam gauge C172 as well. I can’t even start either plane from cold and dark because of this. Had to use the Ctrl+E to start them.

EDIT:

Not only does it not work in the cockpit, but the fuel valves don’t respond to keybinds or SimConnect events either. So it’s not related to the legacy controls
