Im on pc, and no problems
i have over 6000 hourĀ“s,and most the sim work and look great,but after last SU it look not good as before,all connection trouble startā¦Problem is,it is not for all the same,so i think most is serverside,but how know.
last week was the badest ever since i have the sim.
i buy it in the first week after release,was never as bad as is now.
so i can only hope now-
Iām more tolerant of the LOD issue than most. Objects āpopping inā is pretty annoying, and Iāve never seen that before to the extent that itās happening after SU15.)
But Iāll gladly trade the terrain imperfections for zero stutters on landing at problematic airports. Itās been super smooth for me, even when it dips down to 24 FPS. I can tell the framerate is low, but thereās no stuttering - and that was unheard of pre-SU15.
One thing Iāve noticed is that a lot of āold-timersā like yourself tend to compare the negative aspects of things to āHow it used to be.ā I get that, but I also believe that many things have progressed in a positive direction. I bought the sim when it was a pre-order, so Iāve been around a while myself. Iāve seen ups and downs - with the sim, and Windows, and nVidia, and every other aspect of this synergistic stew.
Thatās why this recent issue is so bothersome. Things were never better for me, then BAM! Unplayableā¦
Iām quite sure theyāll fix it, though.
Will there be problems down the road? Of course. Iāll react to them the same way Iām reacting to this one: Sharing facts and staying patient and optimistic.
I agree 100%. And the lack of response from Asobo/MS on these matters is concerning. Does not bode well for FS2024.
I understand your point but unfortunately you canĀ“t apply it so widely. First thing to consider is how game works. Local content is not loaded by game until you pass the first āchecking for updatesā loop. The problem many guys are having now is at that step itself.
You may want to evaluate AIRAC update afterwards, once you are flying. However, anyone with a bit of knowledge of SDK will tell you that AIRAC content is completely local (itĀ“s basically the core definition needed for generic airports, nav data and approaches), so itĀ“s your system the one who loads it entirely, without any need to download online data. It canĀ“t therefore produce any connection issue by its design nature.
But if you look at the posted announcements you will see that first mayor outage was on May 2021. Major issues are those ones lasting several days or having a significant impact, as others are not published there. Since then (so during the last 37 months) we had almost the same amount of significant or major online issues. So basically once per month (average) you canĀ“t play game normally or you canĀ“t play it at all.
Sorry, but thatĀ“s the situation guys. I know Asobo is doing efforts to improve but they clearly need to push their partners to improve too or simply change partners and get rid of gaming services and develop their own connectivity solution.
From a customer perspective I donĀ“t care who is guilty nor I pretend to blame Asobo for issues caused by others. I just see this is not working at all and therefore I canĀ“t use the product I purchased normally.
Cheers
I appreciate the feedback. Iāve said from the beginning that regarding my specific problems of āConnection Lostā and āBandwidth Too Lowā are probably server-side issues. I havenāt had any issues with updates stalling. I know the AIRAC/ Airport update is most likely not to blame for any of this - itās just something Iāve learned about something Iāve become very good at over the past 30 years in my industry - troubleshooting. That something is: āThe first suspect is the last thing that changed.ā
I couldnāt agree with this more.
For whatever reason I cannot start msfs offline. Every time I try that I keep getting āinsert diskā prompt. I can go offline after msfs is started, but that doesnāt help in outage scenarios.
This is my observation too. I am not having the bunch of issues others keep mentioning about su 15. For me it works great (when it works at all).
On on the contrary I didnāt have ANY issues in SU14. I didnāt see any of the problems people claimed with SU14.
If you mean the server you can select from within the game then thatās only related to multiplayer AFAIK, and which server you chose from there doesnāt impact much anything else.
I live in northern Europe and if I, before I launch MSFS, chose a New York server from the VPN I often get, for example, way better download speeds than without a VPN. Might be the ISP throttling the connection or something else, I dunno, but, for me, it does work more often than not.
It seems Iām even having some issues after SU15 and this new update that I didnāt conceive or expect. So what Ive done is reinstalled MSFS on my X console, added only the city updates and I have Bing maps turned of permanently, never gonna turn it on again. No need for my needs. The uniform scenery is good enough for me. I have only ground crew turned on 15%, airport ground Vehicles 80% and ground aircraft 90%, thatās it nothing else no need for it. Working fine now smooth as butter. 
If 2024 is more cloud and or sever basedā¦god help usā¦my faith is slowly waning since reading that concept online in these forums. 
Yes, I think I must swallow that bitter pill myself.
As a test, I restored an image of my C-drive (where I have MSFS installed) from several days before that recent 650mb update because I distinctly remember that I initially flew without any problems immediately after that update. It was after shutting down the sim and restarting later the same day that the connectivity issues surfaced.
Well, after restoring the old image and the subsequent update to the sim, the issue resurfaced immediately after the update without any shutdown and restart of the sim.
It sure looks like a coincidence to meā¦ choke - choke!
Looks like uninstalling FS Traffic did the trick for me. I uninstalled it (and the FS Traffic Fleet) and all of my aircraft came back. Now to see what happens if I reinstall it.
Iāve been having these issues for the better part of a few months but only on my account, which is weird, decided to just forgo flight Sim until 24 dropped
I am experiencing random CTDās with different causes.
I am seeing things like these passing by in the event viewer.
*Coherentgtjs.dll
*flightsimulator.exe
*Wwiselibpcx64p.dll
*3d311.dll
This happened with both an empty CF and a full one.
I havenāt had these CTDās before and since SU 15 they are happening quite frequently.
Some just after pressing āFLYā and some after loading in, be it on ground, cruise or on approach.
The planes I flew were:
*PMDG 737-700
*Turbine duke/ Just flight. (Both original and the latest version)
*FSR Sting S4
All in all a very unstable experience that is unpredictable.
Great tip. Thanks. Iāll try that next time.
Agree 100%. This has to be one of the most level-headed & mature posts that I have read anywhere on this forum!
I too have been on MSFS from day 1 and always kind of felt sorry for and tried to help others with their issues. Until now, I pretty much always thought that their issues were due to their hardware/software set-ups and configurations.
Then like you noted - āBamā right between my eyes! I too have an unplayable simulator.
Very humbling!
Thank you.

I didnāt think it was my end either as the performance issue has come and gone before. I did try the stock A320N without addons and the frame rate was good for VR but the terrain wasnāt formed and low res and the autopilot issue was there 100% of the time even with manually getting the aircraft back on track. The stuck on updates didnāt happen though and the sim loaded quickly. I also had the annoying connection lost message again. Just hoping it comes good.
