Well at least he answered 
Wow an update is being released on Thursday 
Another, we are looking into it…
Good grief, that suggests they still don’t know what the problem is…
We have an update on the issue but not an update for the sim. Don’t spread hoax accidentally.
The email reply does not suggest anything, he is not going to give a full explanation to an email, such “Dont panic…it will be all sorted or we have decided to abandon the project” . Due to speculations or conspiracy theories that the community will come up with. Its amaziing what the community have come up with in threads Such as “I heard from someone they are over their heads” with no evidence to back their explanation, just idle gossip, no one really knows. As he knows social media is a poweful and very dangerous tool so it was just a plain simple reply. He is playing safe in my opionion.
Which is the before and which is the after??
I posted a screenshot of his words directly from his email. How am I spreading hoax? I’m the one that actually did research to find an insider (the boss actually) to get a direct answer. That sounds like the exact opposite of a hoax.
…I just got back from my friend whose sim was behaving o.k. After further investigation and testing into the problem trying to reproduce the stutters in the same areas I encounter them we flew around 76T for a while…and there it was!Even though not so apparent the stutters were clearly present however his fps never fell below 10-14 according to dev’s mode fps counter “limited by Main Thread”.What I noticed though was that outside the problematic areas his fps never went well above 23-25 and most of the time hovering around 20-22.Something like this points towards an obvioussly logical conclusion which at the same time could explain a reasonable amount of users who didn’t notice the problem or reported it was present but not up to a point making sim useless. Therefore,the lower a system the lesser the problem may be probably mostly because of the already lower settings in the graphics section.When 20-23 fps content is the normal someone encounters every time there isn’t any noticeable change entering a problematic area as it seems this bug affects mostly high to top end systems whose users mostly have their settings almost all the way up to high or even ultra.
That’s why I said accidently. Your last sentence can be misunderstood. I know, that’s not your fault., but someone only reads your last sentence and the hoax is on it’s way 
Unfortunately it was like this in some areas from day of release already. Poor mesh and poor map data, photos taken in early springtime (salzkammergut lake area and dachstein region) and some areas like those in your screenshots seem to have been greyed out due to cloud coverage. Maybe the current issues make things worse. Out of curiousity, where did you take those shots exactly?
From my point of view, Austria looks much better in FSX and P3D with Austria Professional HD and some airport/city addons, than MSFS in the current state. Hope they will fix it some day.
Interesting idea.
The fire starts in the early morning and through the day the issue becomes manifest.
On the other hand I believe that the sim is hostet on azure cloud by microsoft themself. And I hope there is more than one mirror.
But some sensitive data is likely to be lost anyway. At least that might explain the silence.
And yesterday they want to partially restart the datacenter.
Or just an coincidence that happend.
they’re both the same.
The only difference would be that without the scenery addon,the whole area would be like the empty terrain one which also stayes like that even with the addon there but a little to the side
i was in the area of Kepfenberg cause i added a small airfield that was missing.And then i saw that !!! It is even now worse now that you’re saying that as well
I just put in to join Facebook Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 group. They have 36.7K member and with just a quick view, I didn’t see any mention of this problem.
How could that be. Are the Moderators deleting messages about this problem, or could the Facebook members be clueless about this problem?
Cannot comment on this area, was not flying there, but the airfield of Scharnstein lies in a troubled area as well. It was not there on initial release but someone created it and it should be available at flightsim.to as well. Surrounding area of the airfield was still “interesting”.
Exact same for me, I was fine at LOD 200 before SU3. Now it can only sustain that for small periods of time. Leave it at 200 and memory usage goes up to the point everything bogs down.
That could happen before as well though, when the sim falls behind generating more terrain (loading and processing) it keeps allocating more while still working on what you’ve already left behind. Easily reproduced by turning the sim rate up, go too fast, memory usage keeps increasing.
Whatever SU3 did, it has greatly increased the likelihood of the terrain generator falling behind. With LOD 100 it can still keep up, at 200 no longer for me. If I leave it paused it will slowly recover, finish off what it was still processing and free up the stuff that went out of range.
There is some nasty memory fragmentation as well. The longer I’ve been flying, the longer it takes for the sim to close down. Hard faults per sec go up over 500 while the game is freeing up stored away memory. There must be some ugly memory allocation going on, lots of little bits that get scattered around lots of memory pages.
I would like to fly at 200 again since the trees stop really close to the plane at 100, but can’t do much more than temporarily set it to 200 for a screenshot then quickly dial it back again or the sim will grind to a halt. It should prioritize what to work on (stuff in front of you) and be quicker in freeing up stuff you’ve moved away from.
I read that they were
They are hiding negative comments on their Facebook page. You can see your comments but others can’t… It’s normal procedure by companies on Facebook pages.
I was a social media manager for some time and that is a tool available on Facebook.
I have post some comments on their page and my friends don’t see them.
