I disagree, do you have any data to support this argument?
How many bugs/issues have been resolved vs. introduced?
No, it isn’t. IMO, it is better than ever.
It is not “Time to stop the world update” just because you say so. Thanks for sharing your opinion. However, if you have any idea about how software development works, you probably know there are separate development and bugfixing tracks. So, nothing is preventing bugfixes from being progressed while other features are getting developed.
Just wait for the updates. Your 3rd party payware should be updated by the developers. If they don’t do that, go complain somewhere else.
I’m a programmer. I create software for MS-Windows, since Windows 3.1 and with every new windows version, we had to use different compilers, different libraries, different calls. MSFS is a large system, its kernel is about half the size of current Windows. Can’t blame Asobo/MS for not finishing that in one year. They released early, because the world was already good looking, in august 2020. The only thing you can blame them for is bothering us with the bugs of a rapid development project. But the only alternative would be: no MSFS. You want that ? Suppose Microsoft would automatically remove your MSFS one day.. and give you a popup “sorry user, we can’t run MSFS because people on the MSFS forum keep complaining about quality issues, so please try download again in a year or two”.
We should make this a wishlist topic. I appreciate the free scenery, it is truly incredible, but I would like to be able to simulate flight as well, like the title suggests.
Try lowering your settings to medium. You won’t see the difference, but the stutters are gone and the fliggt is smooth. Do not use high end or ultra settings, its not necessary.
Right.. I always fly medium settings and 80% resolution. When I put the drone for a screenprint I go full resolution, 4x4 texture, wide field of view (120) and ultra for things I want to show. Except trees (medium trees are better than high or ultra IMHO)
Full ack.
I hate (a little) to pay full price for beta quality software. But having MSFS 2020 in August 2020 was for me much more fun then getting it in August 2021 as an “consoles and PC” product.
By the way: I payed for Vampires Bloodline 2. Maybe this product will never come. But hey, I loved Bloodline and because of that I threw away my money. MSFS 2020 was a MUCH better deal!
Made many test flights with A3NX and CRJ700 with my new build on ultra high-demanding airports/sceneries
No issues, no stutters, no problems ( so far )
At least on my setup MSFS is ultra flyable and they will optimize more later
By the way they fixed those stutters/pauses/fps drops on the latest hotfix.
Yes, agreed.
With regards to bugs and issues I have two lists.
One is titled ‘It’s my end’ and the other ‘MS/Asobo bug’
Needless to say, the latter list is far and away the longest.
The people that make the world updates and scenery (artists) are not the same people that work on the game engine (programmers). These are 2 separate skillsets.
And if that were possible: Putting twice the amount of people on a problem doesn’t solve it 2 times faster. On the other hand twice the amount of people can push out twice the amount of content.
dude it has nothing to do with graphic settings. Stuttters are code related.
Yup fully agree with everything you said. I don’t use MSFS anymore since WU 3 and SU 3 although I was a big supporter of this project. They really need to stop with all these garbage and useless photogrammetry updates, POIs and associated bugs that the core simmer community never asked for, and instead focus on third party issues and access, SDK improvements and documentation, performance, avionics, automation, navigation, weather and flight model. They have 10 years to add endless amount of scenery so why not fix and improve the basics aka “flight” simulation first before the core simmers leave the platform?
At this moment I totally feel like I wasted £110 on this garbage. I feel betrayed.
Disagree. By setting Ultra much more data is requested from the Microsoft game servers. And if data is not coming in quick enough, you get the CPU high load/GPU low load situation and stutter.
Through the client/server architecture of MSFS 2020 graphics quality is code - Comprendre?
agree 100%.
try EGLC London city at ultra settings. Code will show no mercy even on high-end pcs.
I’ve been testing the game since the first alpha wave. You think I don’t understand the relationship between the game graphics settings and how it impacts my PC compare to a code bug ? I am not using Ultra. I am using high end and my PC is on the recommended for ultra. People are not idiot and you have to stop treating like they are.
Yes dude, I will no longer treat you as you told.
I believe all available people must currently work on the Xbox version to get the release date done in time. After that, personnel might be put on a task like fixing some aspects.
Until Xbox version is out, I dont expect too much deeper work specifically on the PC version.
It really doesn’t matter who, where or what are the resources that are responsible for the world updates etc. Because the fact is that ALL resources require funding.
So perhaps we can better address the OP’s point by suggesting that the funding currently being expended on world updates could be better utilised by being redirected towards core functionality, first.
A temporary measure that better reflects the priorities.
Thank you. Well said
I recently landed at several places and looked at generated houses and the grass in detail on all settings.
Houses looked all the same on Medium/High/Ultra. Only Low means they look different.
Gras even to me looks best at low. The grass is moving all the time like a moving floor, looks very odd and made me feel unfomfortable. Rather have Grass on low.
Clouds in close up often look like Minecraft even with Ultra.
One must really investigate each setting with FPS and Perfromance Monitor and change the setings and fly again and again the same route to compare.
I find the resolution makes the most difference on my PC. I found a setting with using 1440p but only letting it render for 80 % gives me the right FPS and looks as one would expect somewhere between 1080p and 1440p.
So you stopped one update ago.. Well you had the luxury to stop at a moment of your choice. There are users here who seek help on this forum, for a situation they cannot run since the 1.15.7.0 server problems, despite of reinstalling Windows and the MSFS. And they still want to fly ! They spend time here, they spend energy asking questions, begging Zendesk for help. Sometimes they replace hardware to solve the issue. Or they create a new e-mail and Store account, to solve the issue. Why do you think they want IN ? Your choice is your free choice pal, but you haven’t seen MSFS since 3-4 updates ago, so.. wonder why you put any text here.
