Apologies, I wasn’t fully transparent when listing my settings - I don’t use ATC as it’s known to be an immense resource hog for a subpar experience since day one, especially on console. So I prefer to fly with ATC off, even if it dampens the experience a bit. Helps a lot with the performance of the A220 and other resource-heavy aircraft, though.
(And on top of that I personally dislike AI voices with the intensity of a thousand suns, they grate my ears)
V10 even tho synaptic say its same performance as v09 I find it’s flyable now. even with full cabin I only turned off the copilot efb. cockpit textures are more stable too mine used to constantly fade out.
Where as with v09 I had to turn both efb off and both co-pilot screens.
Su7 beta all settings on max. 32gb rc.
Bravo liveries all paid airport add-ons EGAA - EHAM.
I also just realised that the default EHAM is also enabled at the same time as my Flytampa EHAM. so I disabled the default and ground textures are much better. I wish the default ones were automatically disabled when a paid add-on is enabled.
Also deleting the reserved space via Xbox dashboard is how I delete my rolling cache. I find that’s the best way to reset everything.
The performance fixes came with v1.0.9a which was not released in the marketplace. So those fixes only arrived with v1.0.10 for marketplace users.
The performance improvement is significant, though it is still stuttery on final it is no longer to the point of being impossible to control at all. Granted this is on a naked sim, I’m not even going to try the usual loadout like extra ATC/traffic
A few more versions and maybe it will finally get close to other products available
v1.0.11 is supposedly dropping today. 
| Unfortunately, it seems to have been postponed. |

I download .10 on Thursday, well that’s what version is showing in my library? Not a home right now to double check. But performance has been greatly improved since Thursday. Pre update I could not get the aircraft to taxi mode without it crashing at inibuild EGCC but I have now flown into and out this airport without the dreaded low memory message, but I did get the low memory message after taxiing to terminal at LFPG on full everything
I have flown into and out of Inibuilds EGCC with live traffic and weather with no issues. For me at least performance is 100 time better than it was. I always got the dreaded low memory message after starting engines prior to .10 update. I did get the low memory message after taxing to the terminal after a 1 hour 10 minute flight to Paris LFPG but again stock scenery with live traffic and weather all scenery settings set to medium
Does anyone know if there are plans to enable us to use the auto tune feature in MSFS 2024 on this aircraft? The comms between this aircraft and ATC are really broken. On contact with departure or centre it asks you to descend to -1000ft. It won’t allow you to request a higher flight level always declines any request. And why can’t we just click the next frequency in the comms panel like other aircraft?
Synaptic guys are working on a major EFB update for the A220.

How about actually getting it to work smoothly on Xbox without memory bandwidth black screens happening every time you update the Airac first? Scenery is just a blur because of how unoptimised this is and that’s if you manage to get in the air without any black avionics. I mean I take this bird out once after every new update in the hopes that I will get a good flight and I’m always left disappointed and frustrated. We’ve had 10 updates and yes it is a lot better than it was performance-wise, but still not good enough after all this time. Even Inibuilds paid add ons put this to shame and we all know how unoptimised they used to be!
Such a shame because the systems are brilliantly modelled and I can’t fault them, I just want to fly this plane with the same performance I get from my PMDG, FSReborn, FlightFx and the latest Inibuilds A380. Can’t do it? Then remove from the Xbox marketplace and issue refunds to everyone that bought this on Xbox.
Looks like the first enthusiasm is gone away. No aircraft update since weeks. Money collected, and the devs move on? Prove me wrong.
The Devs said on their discord that they aren’t finished yet getting it to run better on Xbox, but I fear that this may be the next piece of abandonware.
How is the current Performance for the Synaptics A220 on MSFS 2024 Xbox X ?
Well if you care to scroll up you’d find posts like this -
Yup, I’ve had a few more flights in it since then - and it’s very flyable - I’ve been able to update the Navigraph data, and flown several flights in Europe and USA with the Air France Swissair, Air Baltic and Breeze liveries.
Yes, it’s not the most smooth or fluid aircraft in the sim on Xbox - the LOD does get a bit blurry at times and panning around the cockpit at low altitudes is very choppy. But the aircraft is smooth, responsive and all the systems are working… so I’d say there has been a very significant and welcome improvement in performance… obviously a lot of effort has gone into this - and I’m sure the aircraft will only continue to improve…
The update v1.0.11 is alive on IniManager. Now the Synaptic Toolbox is required for the terrain map.
And a lot of folks including me are having a major problem with the .11 update, getting all black screens and turning on the batteries does nothing. May be some kind of activation issue. Might be worth waiting for a hotfix.
You’re right. Everybody should wait with the update. I’ve just tried to fire it up and have black screens with dead batteries.
