Official Discussion: Upcoming Hotfix Announcement

[D1rtyDuckUK]

@Jummivana is this a pc hot fix only or also Xbox?

[KnarfeX]

i can`t wait

[Squibby6134]

I hope they don’t revert the taa implementation, I like being able to see air traffic without horrible ghosting trails.

Sometimes a compromise is necessary for better usability.

[Lagrik4692]

I am in the exact same boat as you. No mods in Community and all 3rd party removed from Content Manager. No CTD/Freezing pre-SU5 and I crash all the time now. So I’m anxious for the fixes as well and was also disappointed they’re not getting resolved for another few weeks.

Mouse right click/hold no longer will let you pan inside the cockpit. It works fine with the outside view. This makes the mouse much less usefu, and has only been a problem since the latest update.

[bwc1976]

Great to hear, thank you!

[sirpelvis1986]

@Jummivana nice to hear with the Hotfix…

I have also 2 points:

1. I fly a Cessna 172 in real Life. Since the Simupdate 5 and also after the Hotfix the Elevator Trim Wheel in both Cessna’s 172 is damaged. I only fly these two planes. The Elevator Trim Wheel reacts to sensible, jumps and makes a strange click sound. Its absolutely not like in real life.

Before Sim update 5 everything was fine and the elevator trim was like in real life. Why did Asobo change a working Trim Function? I don’t understand…

Please repair it fast. For me it is now unplayable and not realistic.

2. there is a shine, shimmer or flicker of the buildings in VR. It is terrible and a big problem since the Simupdate 5 in VR. It would be great if it will be fixed soon or to get an answer when it will be fixed.

Thanks for your prompt action, this is much appreciated.

Glad to see we were not crazy in saying there was a graphical downgrade for people that were playing on ULTRA before SU5 as many users tried to say with tons of post diminishing the issues

[FlyOnTheWall199]

What about the thread for missing scenery like airport terminal walls?

[AirStew0620750]

Is anyone concerned that the hotfix for the low res textures and washed out graphics will put the fps back to pre-SU5 levels?

[Terrylawdinn]

Whilst fighting with the A32NX today noticed a few problems with addons using SimConnect e.g. Little Navmap, GoVFRMap and Enhanced Live Traffic. Is it possible this may have something to do with at least a few of the CTD’s?

[V8SHARK]

I didnt read through the replies, but any update or plans on the memory leak issue with live traffic causing frame rate to drop from 80+ to 15-20 after an hour or two into a flight?

@CptLucky8

• CAS Sharpen slider: the AMD CAS Shader is already coded with a sharpening strength value, but FS2020 doesn’t give access to it because it is hard-coded in the game. The idea is just to let the user adjusting this value which is already in there in the shader code. Nothing to develop but just offering a UI slider and binding the uniform/constant.

@Jummivana
I’ve forgotten to link to other relevant material about this (and possibly a bug in SU5):

@CptLucky8

It is clear to me just applying 0.5 CAS sharpening makes the visual much more appealing even with the loss of LOD distance ring. However at 1.0 this might be creating too much noise artifact (I’ve seen some when testing with other screenshots).

To wrap up, I’d like to suggest the following:

• I suspect the FS2020 CAS Shader is only used when Render Res. is lower than Display Res.

• Otherwise when rendering and display res. are the same, it seems the Sharpening mode of the CAS Shader is not used.

• I’d suggest FS2020 uses the CAS Shader for its SHARPEN filter, even if render res. and display res. are the same.

• I’d also suggest FS2020 is letting the user adjusting the CAS Shader SHARPEN strength (there is 1 shader parameter value meant just for this in the AMD CAS Shader code),

• I’d also suggest to repurpose the UserCfg.opt Sharpening setting from integer (0 or 1) to float ( [0…1] ).

• I’d also recommend the default CAS Sharpening strength be 0.5 by default
  → edit: 0.5 by default when rendering at or above display res - i.e. same res. or downscaling
  → edit: otherwise AMD recommended sharpen strength by default for the upscaling cases.

Hope this helps!

Awesome news! Thank you for your hard work MS/Asobo! And congratulations on a, successful X-Box release. You guys are the best.

Yes, I did wonder

[Hamltnblue]

Good News on the update for sure. One more request. Can we get a voucher for some free beer. The last release had too much whine.

[adrianclerical]

Thank you for keeping us informed. Will there be a fix included to cure the induced mouse lag please?

[Danth8078]

It would be better to have lower fps and a working sim then high fps and constant CTDs, wouldn’ it?

[GodFMischief368]

After this update… the planes in the water just land on the water… and not IN it… and now like the tubine planes just land on their… turbines : /

[CasualOne7471]

I know. The number varies from 5 days, a week, to 10 days. It keeps. Growing.
