šŸ©¹ The patch everyone was waiting for (Jul 30) has been released! (topic emotion grade: lively, but still civil)

If I had to guess. The update will include 3 things only.

  1. The Barometer fix
  2. Change lighting back
  3. USB crashes.

Thereā€™s more in the patch notesā€¦

But they should have announced the patch yesterday already. Would have prevented many unwanted (or wanted) statements.

Thanks but I already ,just read it

No mention of a fix for the toolbar arrow no longer automatically hiding when moving your cursor away.

I agree.

In fact, next update, they should announce the patch before they announce the update.

Cheers!

Well of course this is no solution, but if you play the sim in a window, then that menu bar disappears when you move the mouse to the taskbar.

I donā€™t understand how they can put forth a ā€œpatchā€ in just a few days, that is purportedly going to fix things that they spent months breaking with SU5. If all of these things are really going to be fixed, they would have had to have these ā€œfixesā€ already in their pockets and ready to go. All the beta testing that was supposedly done would surely have exposed all these problems brought forth with SU5. To fix them in just 72 hours or so just doesnā€™t add up.

Iā€™m thinking theyā€™re just going to try and put a band-aid on a wound that needs open heart surgery. I hope Iā€™m wrong but Iā€™m not holding out much hope.

I was thinking the same.

But it sounded a bit too ā€˜conspiracyā€™ to me, so I didnā€™t write it down. But I also wondered: two days for that list? Must have been a lot of ā€˜sillyā€™ bugs, that were easily fixed, or they were pushing the update, already knowing about these problemsā€¦

Iā€™m unable to see or work any ground services since I installed Tuesdayā€™s update. Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions would be most helpful.

I canā€™t either, I also have no ATC options or traffic at all.

Who said 2 days? How itā€™s works there is fixed date for release, the team never stop working after beta testing end and thing before in progress did not able to made it for that date. For instance, Asobo fix fast CTD when new appears, CTD show all at Microsoft event viewer server, without anyone submit CTD events.

Anyone else notice how trees are like shifting position as you fly near them and it makes the trees a bit far out look so grainy? I donā€™t know what this is about but Iā€™m hoping that itā€™s fixed soon.

They are in the middle of porting everything over to DirectX12U. I suspect also maybe some ā€˜optimisationsā€™ for the Xbox version got carried over to the PC by mistake - we already know of a LOD issue, maybe there are others.

I only set mine to medium, they still donā€™t look great but they do seem to morph less ā€¦ at least that was before the update.

Asobo admitted carrying forward an Xbox LOD change to PC which theyā€™ve reverted to the PC values in the hotfix. So this is already known (and to be fixed issue?).
