I won’t get a chance to download this update until tomorrow but from the feedback so far it doesn’t seem much has been fixed of the issues raised in this thread.
It begs the question how was this patch tested to ensure the issues were resolved before releasing it?
Thought I’d join the forum to comment. SU9 really degraded the performance for me on Xbox and having installed tonight’s update at 1.6GB it’s not done much to help. I’ve had a short flight, no CTD but the Black Shark animation still stutters, the cursor periodically freezes briefly on menu screens and the game performance just isn’t as smooth as before SU9. Really disappointing.
OK, so I’m dangling by a thread on my last nerve with this sim. 5 CTDs before I can even get off the ground and now my keyboard and mouse will only work half the time and usually only when I don’t need to make instrument adjustments.
Pardon me for being saucy but this game is worse than before the hotfix…if that’s possible. This is the first time I’ve played in about 10 days and I’m walking away again!!!
Absolute madness.
Good thing I haven’t forked out 60 bucks for Concorde!!! ( nothing wrong with Concorde BTW. It’s a wonderful bird from what everyone says!)
Just coming in on appr in the stock A320 and all the waypoints disappear for the STAR!!! ILS is still broken.
did some super quick test flights and from what i can i see the performance are better (way less stuttering, more smooth), still a bit choppy in the menus, nexrad still not working, no ctd (though I’m probably suffering less than others since i have zero scenery addons)
tomorrow will do further testing to see if the performance are really improved for me
Strange 'updating ’ page showed up on my third Xbox x restart just now as I was not convinced the previous restarts had done anything earlier on ,can’t remember exactly what it said but completely new page format that I have never seen before. Sadly no sound still from Asobo/ blackshsrk screen ,same old mouse /world map problem as before hotfix stuttering / pausing 5 secs etc,worse stuttering approaching city / airport than even before hotfix!! …this is NO fix for me😡
I have zero add-ons of any kind. I made that decision soon after I got my system in December because I found some defects in the software that should have been caught before release. So I supposed the SDKs would not be very stable yet and add-ons would add more grief than what it’s worth.
I do my flying using the Skyhawk in the Caribbean. It’s smooth flying in my setup in that territory. When I tried the NYC area problems became very pronounced so I stay away.
So I tried the sim out after updating and I got mixed feelings. Everything about the departure was pretty smooth. I had no issues there. I did get a few fps drops during the flight on cruise altitude (airliner 747-8) but it got a bit laggy during approach especially when I was about to perform the landing procedure on Heathrow.
Now on the menu and the world map… I think there’s been progress which is good, but unfortunately not enough. It was still laggy to a point where I actually thought it was about to crash the game back to home page of the Xbox. I think it loaded a bit faster the world map. I think it got better, just not good enough to not cause problems and annoyance to the players.
I honestly believe I’m not the only one seeing that Bing maps are causing this issue on this game. If you turn Bing maps off, all issues are gone. That pretty much says everything about where the problem lies. Rolling catche is off, everything is at how it’s supposed to be. Game is crashing because of maps. That’s where the team needs to focus. If we take care of Bing maps, the game will be literally perfect.
No words can describe how upset I am right now. I have invented some really bad words even. Yes I do get upset when things don’t work properly. I’m going back to “offline” functionality permanently now. I decided like many of you to turn online “on” after this “supposed” update and attempt to fly with Bing Maps turned on (because the scenery is nicer when your flying). Still no sound on the flash screens, and the turbulence is horrible when flying during the daytime hours in the SIM and the “update” circle when you first start the SIM is frozen…it doesn’t even spin suggesting you have an update or is looking for one. What Happened with this hotfix…? None of what was said was fixed for Xbox. ! “Online” functionality…? Never again.
For now that’s pretty much all I do, the Antilles, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean through to Key West. I have all the scenery around St Maarten so spend a lot of time shooting landings at St Barth. Just don’t feel like flying into cities. Although Sydney seems OK to me, even with global shipping and the Orbx landmarks.
Running 16gb cache and PG off(everything looks better in the Caribbean without it). No live weather or traffic(AI to 100%) with MP on.
I have the same issues with the stuttering and some hit and miss CTD but I will do the reporting the bugs through the Xbox Series X in hopes that a new patch may fix the issues. I really enjoy the flights and getting the experience however, the disappointment of the ongoing issues is really adding up as I bought a Series X on launch day in hopes and dreams of being able to have a great flight experience with none of the hassles of these bugs but I feel committed with helping with any error reports that I can provide.
K I just finished testing my favorite airplanes at a variety of airports with all wind turned off and no clouds. I can’t stand the turbulence when flying anymore. I’m fed up. I spent $$ on this Xbox console (of which I still owe due to financing), bought a 43" TV with gaming capabilities, bought the DVD copy of the Xbox MSFS. I can’t stand this MSFS debacle anymore. My patience’s has worn thin. Even “offline” mode is broken now. I’d like to swear like an old sailor but I won’t and I won’t yell here because its not going to do me any good.
Thank You Microsoft and Asobo for ruining it for me where I had undying faith in your SIM only to be totally let down. You got my $$ which was your goal and now you don’t care that I’m leaving because of your total lack of empathy and respect for your clientele because its all about profit at the expense of the consumer. You did a good job at pushing me away. You know where you can go and what you can do with your product.
Good Bye !
I’m going back to my Aero Fly FS2 and upgrading to FS4 when it comes out.
Hurry to solve now! Nothing works, how could you make such a bad release? At my work such a catastrophic production for the image and the business, several people are fired.
