Official Discussion: Hotfix 1.18.15.0

I’m at a complete loss.

Windows 11 beta.
Every past version on my pc have worked fine even the alphas.
1.18.13.0 worked fine when AI traffic was turned off.
.14 and .15 are fine even when loading aircraft, but guaranteed a CTD whenever any plane starts rolling down the runway (no CTD if I just sit on runway).

Tried. Changing process priorities. Compatibility settings. Paging file size. Clean install. Clean windows install. Alter various graphics, data and traffic settings.

Any ideas? Sim is unusable for me as is unless I like admiring the view from the runway.

Thanks. Just read the Wiki on it. Cheers :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face:

The same here!

I installed the X-Box App and then i get the Update!

Yeah, but not to the overall level as SU4, I would guess… but I didnt take any pics for direct comparision. Might just get me riled up and I am currently just flying, although I moan, that the VATSIM bug is still not fixed (but I know, it is comming - just dont understand, why it got broken in the first place as it worked for about 1 year just fine).

does anyone else have a landing light, nav light problem for AI traffic?

I have a fix 1.18.15.0 but no landing lights and nav lights


Thats a bug for you but not everyone is experiencing it. I’ve been playing the sim all day in lots of different weather conditions and have experienced no banding or posterization. I’ve seen it in the past in the sim but the blue sky is beautifully graded for me now after hotfix 2. As of today its the best I’ve seen the sky look in the sim. There’s still issues with pixilated clouds but I don’t get it all the time and its been there from day one as far as I can remember.

Hmm… mine seem to be working, just descending the A32NX (no liveries, stable 6.2) into EDDH.

Yes, I too increases super sampling by 25 units to cope with the SU5 reduction, but of course at the cost of fps.

How and where do you increase Super Sampling - Nvidia control panel?

As mentioned in the release notes, ATC is still not fixed. Keep getting incorrect altitudes and it stops working after awhile. No solution to get it back working again during flight. No point in doing long IFR flights at the moment :thinking:

hi!
I see stripes in the sky, too. color gradient
I didn’t have it before SU5
and my clouds also display pixels at the edges of the cloud. this is very noticeable

I had it all right in SU4

In the MSFS I went from 150 to 175, factor is 4. BTW; I got to look at these color banding, honestly I did not notice during play.

Well I do IFR flights and I have switched off the in-built ATC since day one, sorry it was just too hard to bear with my background. I am a fan of VATSIM … but that does not work either currently. So if the in-built is your only option, I feel with you.

Hotfix fixed LOD. Performance silky smooth. Looking good, apart from some overbright issues.

Just out of interest make sure you don’t have any Nvidia freestyle filers running (if you have an Nvidia card and use filters) because they will 100% definitely add colour banding. If you don’t and still see banding then obviously its something else.

Can you post the su4 one to compare it to the current?

I’m seeing color banding without Nvidia filters. It’s the sim.

Is every imperfection an emersion killer?
Just send it in as a ticket and they’ll look into it. I don’t see what you are seeing on my end. And according to many other pictures here there’s no banding too. Hope that it gets fixed for you.

Well with the fact that any update or hot fix requires a clean install of the sim each and every time due. This go around while redownloading 128gigs…for the 6th time. windows defender flagged a corrupt file in msfs2020 as it was downloading. So guess what wont work again. Due to an update that only breaks it. again. And that I will have to clean install, again. seriously. is it possible to write a program that will update existing files and not require a complete reinstall? I do suppose that is to technical for microsoft though

yes, I have an RTX 3080 ti but which filters? i do not understand
