Bug Reporting Hub Resolved

The Livestream started. Jorg talks about the amount of updates over two years from release and what museums he visited. And now Q and A session starts. It appears helicopter questions have a priority over our issue.

Helicopter tutorials are coming.

Jorg: “You know that we read the forums
keep the feedback on helicopters please”.

Seb says they are looking on Xbox downgrade. “Consoles have limited resources. The fix is going to come out in one of the future updates”. He doesn’t sound positive on this issue.

Its not a bug folks, they cannot get frame rate under control. Maybe they will in the future.

Seb says that the problem stemmed from a protection on console that turns down LOD when framerate drops, but the frame rate detection was broken in a recent DirectX update. He says it’s “already been fixed” and will be pushed in some unknown update.

Most important: Sebastian just said IT WASN’T DELIBERATELY INTENTIONAL.

This is exactly opposite of what Seb said in the livestream. He said it was a non-intentional bug and it will be fixed in a future build as soon as possible.

Thanks,

A system built into the engine is a bug?

1248

And what about that frame rate protection?

It’s gonna be a long long winter

The most interesting part of that answer (aside from it being surprisingly satisfying) to me is that the XBOX or the sim in general has an automatic LOD decrease when things get heavy. So our 500 post discussion about having a toggle was kind of moot because there already is something better than a toggle. Presumably if you’re in a complicated plane or airport the LOD will decrease by itself and was already doing it.

It was still a fun ride though I thoroughly enjoyed this thread.

Very odd decision to keep Xbox graphics this broken for months. I’ll be holding on all marketplace purchases over the holiday season as a result.

I’ve posted questions in the live Q&A which is on at the moment and they were answered! It’s a bug and Mid Jan fix

I’m amazed they saw my question but so glad we have an answer !

It’s appear that an automatic setting on XBox was set to be too sensitive and is dialling down the detail - this is not an issue of XBox not being capable!

I think it existed before, it just got borked in recent work they did on DX12. Not sure though, just deducing based on what they said.

They didn’t catch it during testing ? For what Reason we participate Beta and reporting issues and that they say we didn’t catchend ? And on they other hand they say they reading the forum ?

Nevertheless they have a fix - which will be released not earlier mid of January 2023 if I get it correct,

That’s disappointing. On one hand, I’m glad they were able to identify the cause and implement a fix. But 2+ months to push down the patch? :frowning:
