i recently updated to 146 v 0.1.10 and had a brief test flight using 3d party LIPX airport by Salvuz. I noticed a lot of microstutters, lags and pauses ( more or less every 2-3 seconds) not only while taxing, take off and landing but also on level flight, far away from the airport. Same thing happen panning the cockpit view with the mouse.
Initially I thought it was something related to MSFS, but then i tested the same flight with default TBM, a310 and with the PMDG 737 and the Honda Jet and i had a very smooth experience with all aforementioned aircraft, without any stutter. Tried to reduce the instrument refresh rate and to switch off the cabin (btw the cabin was strangely still there also after unflagging the item in the setting menu of the EFB) without any improvement. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no improvement
It is strange because i recall a much smoother experience on the last 146 flight i had a pair of months ago.
Did this last update worsened the overall performance of the 146?
Any xboxSx user have the same issue with this version?
I’ve had the same issue with the stutters and blacks screen happening often after the latest update but the PMDG 737 runs okay using the same airports.
Yes, the BAE is suffering the effects of SU13, I think 100% of the simulator is suffering from this, on Xbox. As long as this issue of 2-second stuttering and micro-stuttering here on Xbox is not resolved, it will not be resolved.
As stated in my post i don t have any stutter with any other addon, even with most complex like the PMDG 737.
Only the BAE stutters in my case.
Test flight was done AFTER installation of BOTH SU13 and BAE version 0.1.10 so it impossible to state if the culprit is bad optimization of the latest version of the 146 (0.1.10], or a negative impact of su13 on an aircraft wich had already depleted every xbox resource.
this is what i m talking about.
only the 146 behaves like this in my case. All other default and payware aircraft i have (and i have MANY) are not affected by any lag so i think that, aside from MSFS SU13 optimization, it has something to do with BAE coding.
We have been investigating this today on the various platforms, and we have confirmed that the micro stutter only occurs on Xbox. From a development point of view, the PC and Xbox versions of the 146 are identical, and we aren’t doing anything unique with the Xbox version, so we suspect it must be related to something on the Xbox platform post-SU13.
We will continue to investigate this though and we will release an update if there’s anything we can do to improve this on our side.
You maybe be right about the post SU13 microstutter. I’ve noticed it on the Asobo 747/787 too. But interestingly not on the PMDG737 or any other aircraft…
Since the engagement with customers has been a contentious issue with flight sim, I’d like to take the time and thank you and the Just Flight team for your positive and approachable way regarding bugs and criticism regarding your products.
So thanks
(this also applies to many other companies, like Black Box, Got Gravel, Flying Iron and many more of course. It was just a fitting example)
Thanks a lot for considering the issue as relevant. I really enjoied the aircraft before those lags but right now the flight experience is much less enjoyable on xbox. I really hope for a solution.
In my case both 747/787 stuttered heavily BEFORE SU13. In particular they started stuttering after AAU2 update from Asobo/Workingtitle. I definetly think that 787/747 stutters are mostly related to WT AAU2 rather than SU13.
Unfortunately it’s very challenging to diagnose and address issues like this on Xbox. We have been working on it again recently and are due to release a new update/upgrade for the 146 in the new year (follow us on social media or keep an eye on our website for more details of that), so aim to try to address this in that too.
Not too sure if this is the right place to ask this so sorry of it isn’t. Sometime I am not getting the pilot callouts. Are there any steps which need to be followed in order to have this enabled in flight?
PS. I have it turned on in EFB
One more quesiton abut this great plane. Turning ENG ANT-ICE on gives yellow INTAKE LO PRESS which makes sense when engine speed is low. Spooling up the engines turns it off and white ENG VLV NOT SHUT lights up. Is this normal and is engine de-ice functioning with the ENG VLV NOT SHUT annunciation displayed?
