I just did a small hop from EGLL to EGLC. From takeoff to landing under or at 2000 msl. Kodiak with Garmin NXi lastest install. I was on western usa server. Live weather. Multiplayer. Live ATC. No issues. Clean flight from start to finish. Admittedly it was only 30 or so minutes.
My guess is the issues are more/mostly on the server side. Since the problems are ‘random’ with most users having the same setup the only constant is the ‘cloud’ side.
Over the years I’ve found a method when using MS software that seems to keep the issues to a slow boil. I.E. always have a ‘clean’ backup.
later update - Just did a EGLL to EIDW 259.97 miles 2hour 14min flight on western europe server. I live on the west coast of usa so it was a night flight. Again no issues.
Let me say for the record I’m not saying other folks are not have legit issues just I’m not. We all are in the same boat its just some are seeing leaks and some are not. Sadly we are like the three blind folks touching the elephant.
I think the trouble with just carrying everything over to SU10 ( normally this would be a valid pathway) is that you are building on top of ( and introducing more code changes to ) an inherently unstable platform.
That the current build is unstable is beyond doubt - very small changes or tweaks to users’ start up configurations are showing a massive divergence in outcomes - so server issues are exacerbating the situation.
My own experience tells me that you need a stable fixed baseline to develop from but we haven’t got that (especially If you’re an Xbox user). There are even enough issues for PC users to indicate that SU9 isn’t stable enough to use as a baseline.
So whilst I would almost never be in favour of a rollback, in this particular instance I believe thst the situation is dire enough to warrant emergency action ( because that’s exactly what a rollback is)
I’m mildly frustrated with the stuttering and CTD’s, but I’m not angry. The developer’s allergy to communication is also exceptionally frustrating (actually my biggest bugbear) but angry? No.
I think (and I’m not just saying this to you) you need to manage your expectations and look at the wider picture i.e. how big, and complex, this sim is, and how a literally infinite number of variables in regard to coding, addons, aircraft etc is never going to produce a 100% stable sim.
Even Xplane suffers with these issues. And that’s been out for over 5 years.
I’ve just had 4 CTDs in a row. I literally can’t even play anymore. I fully agree with a rollback to SU8, unfortunately, I don’t think that can ever happen.
Here’s hoping for an actual fix, not this “hotfix” rubbish that changed nothing. I think we’ll be waiting for SU10 though
I have have CTD 3 times in a row lol trying to start flight from LAX to Hawaii and cuts out when I am about the start lol - I wonder if I need to start COLD rather than SPAWN on runway…
You need to walk away from it and take a break like I’ve done. One of two things will happen in the near future…the miracle patch will come out, or MS will take it out behind the barn and cut their losses.
