RELEASE NOTES 1.34.16.0

If you are playing on PC, outdated packages in your community folder may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behavior.

If you suffer from stability issues or long loading times, move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title. How to install a new update safely

General Bug Fixes

  • Several crashes have been fixed across the title.
  • Memory and FPS optimizations.
  • For the AAU_02 update, we made a change to allow control of the cursor with all joysticks, and not only with gamepad. This change had the unintended consequence of causing the central white dot to display when moving the camera or when using a joystick/mouse at the same time. To address the issue, we’ve added 2 new options to allow players to customize the cursor behavior:
    • You can access these new options from Options > General Options > Accessibility.
    • SHOW THE WHITEDOT CURSOR IN FREELOOK (Default = ON): Display or hide the central white dot cursor when the camera moves.
    • ALLOW 2D CURSOR ON ALL PERIPHERALS (Default = OFF) : ON will allow to display the 2D gamepad cursor when using other types of peripherals : joysticks, yokes, etc. When set to OFF, this will be the same behavior as before AAU_02.
  • Fixed Active Pause: now aircraft velocity and angular velocity are also frozen.
  • Added logbook compression to fix an issue where the logbook stopped recording flights after reaching 16MB limit size.
  • Fixed an issue where uninstalled standard content would automatically reinstall.
  • The dark line that appears on the horizon in some situations is now less visible.
  • Fixed localization bugs

Marketplace

  • Fixed a bug preventing content bought inside the Marketplace from appearing in the Content Manager if this content was part of a non-bought pack.

Menu

  • Airports can be searched if they have special characters.
  • Fixed Main Menu tile image for Top Gun Maverick DLC that was extending beyond the tile boundaries.

Accessibility

  • Screen Reader will now correctly narrate the highlighted option within pop-up dialog prompts (e.g. “OK”, “Cancel”, “Save”, etc).
  • D-Pad and keyboard navigation within UI menus will no longer jump unexpectedly to the Social Panel or tooltips when reaching the final item in a horizontal grid or list.
  • Logbook can now be navigated line-by-line using either gamepad D-Pad or keyboard.
  • Updated tooltip to better explain how to adjust slider or cyclic options using gamepad or keyboard.

Install

  • Fixed an issue where deleting content on Xbox would delete it on PC too (and vice versa).

Online

  • Fixed a bug where the user would not join a group after accepting an invitation through the platform
  • Fixed a bug where light simvar were not properly replicated

Navigation/Traffic

  • Fixed a bug where airplanes didn’t slow down enough to turn while taxiing.
  • Fixed a bug where airplanes performing a go-around would go in circles forever.

  • ADF frequencies below 200kHz (down to 190.0) are now tunable.
  • Fixed an incorrect unit conversion that could cause the MFD navigation data bar ISA field to display incorrect values in Fahrenheit.
  • Fixed an issue where the FOB SYNC instructions would still appear on the GTC Weight and Fuel page if the page was opened after FOB was already set.
