I don’t think this is correct. On the xbox screen it says this setting “shares data about when nobody is logged in”. Doesn’t sound too helpful.
I think the original instructions were closer. I did…
Press xbox button
Press RB until on Profile & System page
Press down to go to Settings
Press A to enter settings
Select Account
Select Privacy& Online safety
Enter passkey
Select Data collection
Set “You can share optional data” to Allow
Go crash the sim
This option is described as “Send Microsoft optional diagnostic and usage data about your console. This includes app and feature use and enhanced error reporting, to help improve console performance, troubleshooting, and more.” That must be the right option there.
Thrilled that this issue is FINALLY getting the attention it deserves.
Anyone that takes the time to plan their flights, and enter every waypoints only for a CTD or black screens glitch knows how rage inducing this can be.
I am taking part in the latest beta version. The avionics screens are now going black at cold and dark startup. Does this get reported back through the game now?
Hi @Jummivana@SeedyL3205, This is a fantastic idea and I will sign up. Quick question, for those of us participating in the program, do the devs want us to uninstall all marketplace add-ons (including airports, planes, and scenery)? Or is it ok to leave marketplace add-ons installed during the beta? Also, how about official MSFT/Asobo marketplace items such as World Updates, Top Gun, and Reno? Just want to check.
You can leave your addons installed while participating in this beta test. As always, however, we recommend removing your addons as a first troubleshooting step if you are having stability or performance issues with Microsoft Flight Simulator.
I remember Jorg saying on several occasions that telemetry was already being received, before this XBox beta. So presumably he was referring to the PC version, and that no such change is necessary for the PC version, as it’s already doing it?
i would like to hope that it is true, but i can’t imagine it. i never had many problems with the avionics at cold and dark start before. yesterday however, out of 6 flights, i had 2 x black avionics at c&d start, 1x at approach but without ctd, 2x CTD and 1 flight i could finish. i think only the ctd are transmitted.
i don’t have a technical background. so it’s just a guess. i imagine it’s very complicated to identify black avionics in the running game. a ctd is certainly easier. as i said, just speculation from me.
Yes there is: no changes, just an enhanced debugging/logging to track down CTDs and “blank displays” issues on Xbox for MS/Asobo. Install and try to produces as many CTDs/blank screens as possible. It’s fun
The fun soon goes away, for me haha. I’ve had maybe 10 CTD’s reported from the start of this beta. I will continue doing so over the weekend, but then i’m done. I did my part.
Besides that, i notice severe lag en stutters while planning a flight in World Map. And why can’t Asobo employees test it themselves, you can’t tell me they have no default Xboxes availabale at their office.
I uninstalled all the marketplaces present on my Simulator. I tried a clean flight until the end without any sign of bug with this Beta mode. But as I approached the airport, the screen went black. Regrets are running through my head.
