I think I read something along those lines in the patch notes.
Great news!
Iāve honestly not had any performance related issues to speak of, so Iām just hoping those minor bugs all get sorted out. 
As a design choice, Iām still not a big fan of the brightness/washed-out look of the sim right now in broad daylight. From my understanding, this wasnāt a performance related change, so Iām not sure why they changed it? Anybody else feel the same?
Anyway, everyone just relax a bit. Good things come to those who wait.

Youāre wrong. The performance upgrade is due to the XBOX release. I am proud of the development team. A real milestone in the performance upgrade! We got a simulator!
The bugs will be fixed, a little patience is needed!

Looking at the release notes it definitely looks like a step in the right direction. My only concern is that people might expect too much from this hotfix and when it doesnāt fix what they want theyāll jump straight back on the forum and itāll be round 2 of negative posts.

For TCA bug (no engine start number 1)
Open the controls menu and remove
āToggle Engine 2 Fuel Valveā - Set to Joystick Button 4
āToggle Engine 1 Fuel Valveā - Set to Joystick Button 3
This works
Really? so your sim is working perfectly? find that hard to believe buddyā¦
Iām fine if it fixes the CTDs and pauses.

where did I say it works perfectly?
But it isnt unplayable or broken in any regard
If it wasnāt so painful that video would be really funny. 
Can we stop with the divisive labeling please?

I have mentioned in another postā¦ These are not negative posts, certain grp of users need to stopped seeing any criticism of updates or listing of issues as whinning or complains and"try" to discourage such by using words indirectly and suggesting these users are the problem etc.
Its part of the modern support model that one either use ticketing system ( which may not always give you meaningful or quick responses) or rely in official forums for community self help when they have issue with the product.
For those that have no issue with update, you are really not compelled to read those " negative" postā¦ if it is out of humanity or compasionate to developer, i suggest to donate to them or purchase more digital copies as a support. Else pls see this forum as a tool which is part of price paid and the support option available.

Sim is not unplayable for me, but I sympathise with those who canāt get loaded at all or are continually CTD-ing in flight and hopefully the patch will improve this a lot. Iāve completed a couple of more legs of my round the world trip, and you can see my progress/screenshots linked below. Had a couple of CTDs on leg 76 which was annoying (luckily FlightControlReplay to the rescue) and had a fair few long freezes on leg 77 (but see here for a potential workaround: Possible workaround to unfreeze from long freezes)

You realize that only a minority gets gamepass ONLY to fly in msfs2020? The vast majority just flies less after a while, and a minority probably stops flying entirely, but will most likely continue playing the rest of the many games accessible by gamepass. This wont hurt microsoft in the slightest and they know that perfectly well. After all, before even planning a new sim, you do some calculations regarding that stuff. Theyāre prepared and know what they want to do with the sim, hence the 10 year frame. Nothing happening now is happening by accident.
They should have done it from launch of the sim tbh, but they are going to make the change and enforce it at some point. Payware will defo want to make this change ebcause theyāll want to access the xbox market where this will be mandatory, so they wonāt be an issue. Freeware? Who knows. I think if you are doing it from scratch the overhead probably isnāt too bad. If youāve got a lot of back catalogue to update, who knows.
oh ok! interesting, so your ground textures at altitude have been perfect? Your LOD distance has been superb and improved and no pop ins at all? oh how about the bush trips been able to enjoy them crash free? NAH!
I fly almost entirely IFR (IRL and in sim).
The visuals donāt bother me because Iām not looking too closely at them. When Iām that close to the ground, both airliner and GA, Iām in a high workload environment that has me paying attention to other things - rate of descent, speed restrictions, ATC instructions, staying ahead of the plane for the approach.
I have no problems. Since 1.18.13.0 released, Iāve had 1 CTD. Thatās night and day better than before. The fact that Iām pleased with the update is being overshadowed by the people who are vocal about the visuals.
Yes, they have something to complain about, but I donāt think that itās true that everyone is displeased with this update. You win some, you lose some. We have a patch coming today, letās see what future updates bring.
And remember - at the end of the day, weāre a bunch of people on the internet griping about a video game.
