This has been a bug ever since release, and even though they claimed they finally fixed it in SU9, it’s still there.

I’ve had this a few times. My assumption back then was it was a failure of Azure TTS, but whether it was the client or server I did not know.
The odd thing is it failed silently. I’ve had a few cases where I spontaneously get the offline children’s voices, which would sometimes recover later on in flight to use Azure.
Does anyone have information about a new patch for the following days?
What are you guys use for traffic settings? I fly real time online, but lately I’m getting a lot of go-arounds.This is very annoying, especially after a long 4 hour flight. Is it better to use AI offline for that matter and with what level of density for the AI traffic?
I use live traffic with all sliders at 75% currently, no multiplayer for me (yet) I found AI traffic at 100% to be very busy at some airports and the sim ATC does not handle it correctly - it was bringing me in for landing in the C208B with airliners landing on top of me! Plus the radio was so busy with “Generic…” it was silly so when i used AI I had it turned down to 25% I recall.

That bug happened to me a few times prior to SU9. Think there is a thread on it somewhere in the bugs sub forum.
Hello was there an update to Xbox? Series x here I just now opened the sim and all my addons, world updates, Top gun DLC etc are uninstalled. Only the base game installed (premium deluxe). I restarted again and same thing. Very strange, now I have to reinstall everything again. Has this happened to anyone?
Just checked no update for me

I may have missed this in this gigantic thread, but does anyone know why I would keep getting a random “download has started in background” notification - even though nothing shows up in the content manager as being updated etc.
Not sure if it matters but, I’m on Xcloud.
Thanks!

It’s a bug that seems to affect a number of users (myself included) and comes and goes too. If you go to the bottom entry in Content Manager you’ll almost certainly see the last entry ‘Core…’ says Relaunch to update.

Just had close to a 3hr flight into faro CTD 300ft from the runway. This can’t be continued for much longer.
Usually I would go back in and complete the landing on final but I can’t even motivate myself to this time. Seems like everytime I gain confidence with this thing and think about investing more time and money into it, something like this happens.

Yes, have the same about investing time and money. Although i have a problem free couple of days, in no way I’m going to spend money on this game at this point. I have no confidence it stays that way.

Interestingly Seafront Simulations have this to say may be of interest to Xbox users:-
“Adobe have identified that a fix they made to VFX logic in SU9 inadvertently created a bug at the same time. This bug causes the sim to try to render and update all VFX even when they would realistically be far out of sight. Prior to SU9, effects would only render when the object they were attached to was visible.
In VFX heavy scenery such as ours the performance impact this results in is much more apparent, especially in densely populated areas.
Asobo have introduced optimisations/changes for SU10 that we will of course be testing against when flighting begins.”

Could this also be the reason for so many CTD with complex airports and scenery since SU9? Or does it just affect sim objects like boats?

Don’t think so: I removed it and still get CTDs. The big skyscraper like spikes and the smashed airport in Madrid look good again now however.
That is the first explanation I’ve heard that could logically explain the extreme performance and rendering problems that have been rampant since SU 9. Fingers crossed that this IS the explanation, and will be fixed in SU 10.
Even if true, still doesn’t excuse Asobo/Microsoft’s total lack of communication and transparency about problems that have been so severe that they make the sim virtually unusable. Flight Simulator isn’t Halo, and they need to stop their marketing-driven refusal to acknowledge anything negative about it if they want users to stick it out through the inevitable rough patches.

If they have identified the cause and, hopefully, working on a fix my next question is (to Asobo):
HOTFIX WHEN??
Or does the X-Box users really need to wait for SUX?
@SeedyL3205 or any other moderator: Can you please elaborate on this?
