[Polls] 40th Anniversary Edition/Sim Update 11 Discussion

for me this was the best flawless update yet.
I love that HDR10 is now working well. a lovely difference.
thus far no complaints.
Specially love some of the new planes. The DeHaviland Beaver was long overdue.
All good.
I only have one niggle really:
many planes have great cabin designs but we still have no easy way to ‘move back’ into the cabin the way we could in FSX. You could move back very simply and take a seat as a passenger if you wanted.
It puzzles me that this has not been included in MSFS unless I have missed something. Always possible.
I know that via the Showcase view I can manoeuvre the ‘drone’ into the plane but that isnt what I mean.
But thus far, this update, Peachy, as they say.

It loads and loads, but at least it drags on. Only, whenever I read xxxAircraftxxx …why? I’ll delete it anyway. Couldn’t airplanes only be used as separate modules? Would significantly reduce download time.

Otherwise I’m looking forward to the innovations. Especially on the behavior of the helicopters.

Just did a nice hour or so flight in the PMDG 737 - flawless with nice performance. Didn’t check the FPS but felt smooth and stable, no stutters etc. Live weather looking good, FSLTL working well, all other add ons working well too - so really good job.

Off to try out some of the new planes to see how they are.

Thanks to MS and Asobo - great job, awesome update.

Just started my very first flight with SU 11.

My observations tell me that the performance on my pc has plummeted.
Lots of pauses and stuttering.
I tried both on and offline functionality but that didn’t solve the issue.

I really do hope this will get better tomorrow.

They should avoid doing massive updates in the future like this, regardless of 40 years or not. It’s clear they don’t have the servers to cope. Sad, but that’s the way it is unless they’re prepared to do something (over two years now)… 6 hours and still unable to download. Hearing all kinds of issues with planes and performance too. Sigh.

Lucky guy, I’m getting stutters whenever I move my camera and freezes every few seconds…

Just done a short flight from EICK/EGKK in the PMDG 737 and im quite impressed with performance. This could change tomorrow so I won’t hold my breath!

Remember anyone having massive FPS drops try deleting roling cache.

Only issue I am having is poor ground textures at times using DX12 and connection error message which I seem to of resolved by turning off online functions and switching it back on again.

I have the same spec - no issues my side (although I don’t fly the 737-700).

Flew the LS8, the helicopter around NY and the 747 FS2004 landing challenge (in VR and in pancake mode).

Really enjoying this update!

Interesting!

If you delete roling cache in game does it delete those files too?

If not, where did you locate that folder.

Steam version.

Are you on dx 12 with FSR 2.0?

Same here. Hopefully it will get better tomorrow when servers are less stressed.

DX12 with FSR 2.0, fps are less than half I had yesterday (same condition)

No FSR here, but on DX12, regardless of DLSS or TAA, I’m at half the fps I was yesterday, and these nothing I can do to settings that will improve it.

I believe CodeLoran69 posted above where to find those files. Otherwise check in-game where you had your cache located. Only guessing here, because that’s a question I had not actually considered before today.

Why is the game took too long to load now? I think it stucked at 95%. I think its already more than 15 minutes.

Smooth update. One of the better ones.

Thank you.

I was always under the impression deleting rolling cache in game settings deleted those files but Ill double check.

Thanks again

can only answer the first 2 questions, stuck on decompressing. please fix the installer or make the update packages available somewhere else.

Thank you Asobo for broke my simulator.
Simulator start after server down in offline mode… now after 5h my account still offline…nothing update!

This update is a bit of a mixed bag, had some CTD, but after updating to the latest Nvidia Game Ready it seems to be more stable.

I don’t care for the new Historical planes as they feel to light and video gamey. The Beaver and the DC3 especially are light as paper airplanes, they need more work I think.

Not a huge fan of the new gliders, but my GotFriends Discus works just lovely and the new thermal visualizations helped me to find enough lift to get to 14,500 feet at Mauna Kea… So that was fun…
