Has this strange behaviour also to do with the texture problems on the ground?
Yes. Level of detail and ground textures are reduced.
They said the fix will probably come mid-january 2023 
These are my last comments on this thread. I’m glad the issue has been fixed. Gives me some optimism.
-
based on the length of time it took to identify and fix the issue, if anyone had been looking at the developing SU11 beta thread, this issue could have easily been fixed before the Anniversary release- which would have made it the very happy anniversary release that it has not been.
-
by delaying the update or rolling it into another one planned for January, the dev team shows a propensity for scoring own goals rather than doing the right thing. This is a major fault and it has damaged the reputation of MS/Asobo. Don’t pretend it is a minor bug, sweep it under the carpet and roll it out in an update that will probably break other things and think we’ll all forget about it. It isn’t and we won’t.
Please improve your QA process - we should all look forward to each update, we don’t though, and the story of this issue and it’s fix guarantees that your Xbox community will (deservedly) dread each future update, and the beta testers who do so much conscientious work for you will be thinking, “why should we bother?”
Let’s make this better please.
I just cannot believe that they want to keep the already found fix despite during Christmas many new Xboxers will download MSFS and be shocked about the fidelity…
I don’t believe the team will shoot itself in the foot
For some strange reason, I am only allowed to post once in an hour: I have reached out to Digital Foundry. Maybe they can use their weight in the industry to make Asobo give us the bugfix NOW, instead of making us unnecessary waiting months for it.
I’m reaching to Digital Foundry and other gaming websites too. Because in my opinion it’s not right that they are still selling and will be selling for months, a product with pictures and trailers that absolutely don’t reflect our downgraded experience here on Xbox Series X|S.
Just so we understand microsoft and Asobo show us a trailer and graphics in the trailer that are incredible and once you lanch the game you have just blurry texture , so selling a fake product showing us something but in reality its something else and it aint concern them can wait till mid january
To put things in a little bit of perspective : people with many addons weren’t able to use a very lot of those at all, for months and months and months in a row. That is gamebreaking.
I haven’t seen a video on DF about THAT 
Yes I have the camp out add on and that doesn’t work. I think it needs WASM to function. I can live with that because I do something else until it’s fixed. The LOD issue is far more serious because it affects all aspects of gameplay.
I have a few small GA third party aircraft and they worked perfectly with Sim update 10. Most CTD related problems were with airliners that I don’t care for and big airports due to consoles running out of memory.
So they should optimise or STOP selling these memory hungry products on the console marketplace and give refunds to users that bought them. Not downgrade everyone’s experience into X360 level of graphics.
No you don’t. It can be set and left at zero.
Do you have a time stamp if Jorg replied on-air or a screenshot of his typed reply regarding January. I’d like to share that with others I know. Thanks.
Wow. Instead of CTD’s, just now I had 3 very big, heavy lagg spikes on the always very busy EGLL. They lasted about 3 seconds each. I’m very confident they previously always led to CTD’s.
I don’t know if this is a side effect from the reduced LOD etc, but I can definitely live with it, under these circumstances.
I continue to try and apply perspective to this situation. As previously pointed out, this is still a silly video game and plenty of us have other pressing, important real life matters and adversity to balance. That said, I find MS/Asbobo’s response to this situation pathetic and unacceptable. They can spin and put all the perfume they want on this, but the game is not working as marketed and intended, so for all practical purposes, it is broke to many of your customers. Period. If in fact they “do read the forums”, let that sink in…
Here you go… A multitude of consumers buy a specific, new make/model of car with an engine rated and at meant to perform at 300 hp. But, due to a microchip issue, the car’s engine is only outputting 150 hp. You take it to the dealer and the dealer says, “yeah, we know the issue exists and we know how to fix it, but you’re still getting 150 hp and the rest of the car works so just deal with it for a few months - this issue is really not that important to us as we have other things to play with for the next couple of months…”
I know this sounds vindictive, but I hope MS/Asobo take a sizeable hit on this financially. The only thing these big corporations care about and ultimately understand is the bottomline, So, it seems our only voice as unhappy consumers is to “vote with your wallet.”
As for me, I don’t know if I will return. I bought the X Box X specifically for MSFS. I have an attention span of a gnat and what the game offers now does not interest me so what takes place in the next few months, we shall see. I’ll check in on occasion to check status but I wouldn’t be surprised if they continue to kick the can on this nor will I be surprised if I box up the X Box and post it for sale. And again, perspective, “this too shall pass,” Overall, this was a nice thread to watch and be part of and, for the most part it was effective and civil - not common these days.
That’s exactly what i wrote a few days ago.
It’s clearly Fake and lie advertising for Xbox users
Absolutely well said. At first I thought, servers to blame, they’ll sort this very quickly. Nearly a week went by without a single apology or word about what has caused this catastrophe of an update. To think that they knew of this and still went ahead with the release of the update! The final kick to the Crown Jewels is that they know what’s caused it and it will be two months until they fix it!!! The whole thing stinks of incompetency of the highest order.
Hello,
As stated in the Dev Q&A, the devs have found the issue and fix for this and are working to make it live as soon as possible. We do not need further bug report information at this time and will be closing this thread!
I will provide another update next week on their progress.
Thank you!
