I’m also a grizzled 20hr veteran - I never knew that my seemingly Hundreds of sim hours had gone by so quickly. Built up again since Jan and wondering whether I’ll make it past the 200 hr mark before the dreaded reset bug turns me into a novice flyer again….

I lost mine downgrading from SU9 beta to SU8. This was a one-off so I’m not expecting to lose them regularly. I’ll be more careful if exiting a beta in future.
(I didn’t actually downgrade initially, I ran xcloud which was SU8 after installing the beta on my series X. It has the same result though, because the profile is shared, and now I know that.)

I lost 490hrs but not the joy to fly, even if this sim is full of problems

The flickering reflections. That’s what it was mainly for.

Confirm map seems very slow to load, thought I’d crashed, also lost all logbook entries back to the 12th May, although this maybe due to my doing a software restart, still shouldn’t have happened.

1.25.9.0 seems worse for me, getting regular long pauses with screen stopped (6 secs) on moving external camera view, also if I go from cockpit view to external camera view the external view appears but like the brightness is turned right up and the screens is paused (not updating) for about nine seconds then refreshes and works ok. Xbox series S only one add on (the free airport from aerosoft) and the world updates. Experience with this is getting worse and worse SU8 was much better from my point of view even if I couldn’t save my sensitivities.

When you log the report you would have to explain what exactly is broken about the thermal turbulence. “It’s uber annoying” I don’t think would really cut it. I think a more constructive approach would be pushing for a slider.

This is just a FYI for anyone who might be interested in this other thread but hasn’t found it, as clearly it is relevant to this one:
Interesting experiment part 2
WhenI left MSFS without quitting yesterday and came back to the game through Resume, I found the welcome and Map screens were as smooth as they had ever been. I wondered whether this was a fluke so tried something overnight.
Didn’t quit the game - though shut down console
Just now started with Resume. Welcome and world screens beautifully smooth, got the “disconnection” message then the two “successful connection” messages - screens beautifully fluid and responsive.
Quit the game and restarted. Welcome screen started off smooth, world screen started to freeze up and stutter again and the phantom download message appeared.
Anyone else tried this experiment with same/similar results? And if so, Any Thoughts on why this could happen? Some process going on in background that doesn’t restart when you get back into the sim via Resume? Or is this just happening for a few of us?
launched game today and it sits there at initial splash screen on xbsx. Anyone else with this issue?

I usually find after a quick resume that the online connection is missing and the marketplace is unavailable. They generally recover after a short while.
I also find that marketplace purchases fail and the buy button gets stuck. I had to open a Zendesk ticket to fix it once.
I haven’t used quick resume in a long time, maybe I’ll give it a go.

Will be very interesting to see if you replicate my experience - it only happened the first time by accident- I always quit ( normally!)for the exact reasons you mention
This needs a Zendesk Support Ticket opened not a problem report/ticket. There are details in the Zendesk FAQ and quite a few threads around.
Yeah, it should load up it just takes ages now on that screen.
Ok, black screen CTD story. A partial day into night there and back again flight lasting about 2hrs, very low level, very short distance VFR hand flown with 2 bush landings in two heavily populated areas. After requesting full stop at airport and given clearance, I didn’t land straight away, did one more arc around the airport then nose dived for the landing. Everything went fine until I was about 300ft away from touchdown then boom, no screens, transponder dead and etc, oh and for some reason the taxi and landing lights both flashing when they shouldn’t have. Landing was fine, taxi was fine, I switched off the battery, the logbook showed up. Then as soon as I clicked to main menu…Crash.
Anyone experienced a bizarre out of the norm one like that?
Edit: Just rebooted the sim and downloaded the new WU. No mystery notification and possibly seeing a menu performance increase. Map was quick and responsive, maybe early days.
So difficult to work what if anything you do changes the sim!
Having done a complete reinstall followed by all World updates and my only addons 3x aircraft I find myself stuck at the flight loading page for just under 20 minutes now…
I dont see the phantom download anymore also though mine is ctd without doing anything now. its also still saying in content manager on mandatory downloads please restart game to update.
Hello again, I have some posts in this topic, saying all is kinda fine for my side.
so as I posted in WU9 topic;
Xbox Series X user here, I was not facing too much CTDs with latest sim update. Anytime Asobo/B.shark sounds were there etc…
I’ve installed WU9, deleted cash, also turned it off.
Now I Cant even launch the game. CTD after press any button screen, it turns back to dashboard.
so, welcome me to the club!
as I am writing it’s the 4th crash in a row… greaaaattttt
