Severe Problems on Xbox After Sim Update 9

Why has this been hidden? Lol this forum likes to hide peoples opinions. Anyone offended by this? For anyone that is get a grip. For anyone protecting the franchise guess what " Bite me". The sim is utter garbage on console SNM

Probably hidden because it’s pointless, if a user hates the sim then don’t play - it’s that simple. Ranting is fruitless.

For many thousands of users the sim is working well, many more find a few bugs but this is groundbreaking software. The devs have acknowledged issues exist now - are you part of the test platform?

No my friend. I’m on PC now so not really experiencing many issues. But I was plagued by problems on the console since su8. So glad I made the choice. Feel sorry for console users that are experiencing issues still.

You don’t have to feel sorry my friend. I’m quite happy with my XSX and how MSFS performs on my €500 piece of hardware.

I don’t expect miracles, I know it has its limitations. I’m very happy we now have the opportunity to help the developer to create a better experience for Xbox simmers over time.

One thing though: the fact that I can’t use a lot of my 3rd party add-ons at the moment, is giving me a headache. I think this is memory related, so I really hope that in time, with the help of this performance beta test, we finally are able to use them. I mean, I payed for it.

Good for you mate. Suppose we all have our own expectatations and what were satisfied with. All consumers. I know from my own experience I was caught with my pants down.

Well after my rants yesterday I’ve had the smoothest day for a long while on the 32N . The SIM continues to confound.
The only change I made from the previous day was turning the ground vehicles at airports slider down about half way. I’ve got the sliders for vehicles,fauna,ferries etc all the way down. I continue to use live weather and live traffic as those are my lines in the sand with regards to what I’m prepared to switch off.

Something I’ve noted is that flying in the US appears much smoother than the UK/Ireland/Europe. Wether that means anything I don’t know

And for me, it’s very laggy and stuttering today. No CTD’s though… I’m over the US right now from Dulles to Boston.

Besides memory issues, I’m absolutely sure it’s a server thing.

I think you’re definitely right, even down to the bugs that appear random at times. Out of interest what server are you on

Western Europe. Ping is good 19ms…I’m from The Netherlands.

Same for me, from Ireland. I noticed the other day that the SIM put me on the northern Europe server and it was a stuttery mess with horrible pop in. Switched manually to Western and things improved. Proof at least to me that a lot of these issues are server related

Also from The Netherlands ans yeah western europe server is the best one now

I’m curious does anybody know approximately where this Eastern Server is located that I connect too when I have ā€œonlineā€ turned on…?? I’m up in Northern Ontario just outside of Sudbury, Ontario, 4 hours north of TO. :thinking: I’m just curious as to how far I from it…?

Just spend hours with a scenery developer figuring out what was causing crashes at his airport, and surprise what is causing it is if you switch from internal view to external view its poof ctd on xbox doing the same on pc no issue. Another problem is a memory leak when a scenery has too many static aircraft spawned. But one of the biggest issues we encountered is when you switch to external view. Really hope Microsoft / Asobo fix these things along with the extreme lag when you got AI boats and cars etc turned on.

This is interesting: for me switching from internal to external view was number one thing to do to get a CTD! That’s why I refrained quite some time from looking for example at the scene outside after reaching a stand… jetway connecting, luggage loading, catering and so. This is different since a couple of weeks: no CTDs in that situation anymore but still many in various others: after ā€˜fly now’, during approach, stop after landing and beginning to taxi or sometimes right after startup of the sim. I’m on Xbox.

I know about switching from internal to external is one of the reasons for CTD’s. But i realy like to watch the ground services do their work from external view :neutral_face:

Yeah i know i also reported more then 1 problem through Zendesk but all you get is the copy paste response and after that no more help and ticket closed, sure makes you wonder if you should even bother making a ticket anymore.

Btw Settings I currently have that make it run fairly stable is

Airport Vehicle Density at 5
Ground Aircraft Density at 50
Worker Density at 5
Leisure Boats at 10
Road Vehicles at 10
Ships and Ferries at 20
Fauna Density at 10

This doesnt stop certain CTD at certain airports though where you crash when you stich to external view. Like the following products keep on crashing even with these settings

KPWK Chicago Executive Airport crashes on the Xbox every single time, no matter what parking i start from as soon as i start to taxi it crashes right away specially when you switch to external view but it also has to do with the Static Aircraft it spawns even with all my settings at 0 they still spawn as they are baked into the Airport, talked to the developer and he is going to remove those statics to free up memory which is something maybe every scenery dev should do so we can decide how much statics we want ourselfs with the Ground Aircraft Density slider.

1G4 Grand Canyon West Airport crashes when you try to approach the airport coming from the old cabins.

I have found a reproducible way to get to a CTD, 100% if I follow the exact same steps.
Now an interesting fact: it happens when I try again directly after the restart following the CTD. There is no CTD (it happens actually during starting the A320neo from cold&dark) when after a CTD and Sim restart I shut down the XBox. After ā€œquick resumeā€ I can follow the exact same steps but do not get the CTD… at least not while preparing the A320neo for the flight.
