Xbox series X simply cant handle Microsoft Flight Simulator

I imagine the reason you see lots of kodiak sitting around airports is because there’s a lot of liveries and variants. The system probably puts every livery and variant combo in a hat and draws them out at random.

I think it’s subjective.

I KNOW for a fact on console, Flight Sim will never be anywhere near what’s it like on PC…and that’s ok.

The game runs excellently for me on my SX.

yes, thats the way to go with it, have fun how it plays, me on series, its fab.
and oh yes, i sure do spot quite a bit of issues, shrugs, so many goodies i spot too.

I found that if you also turn off ‘live traffic data’ and ‘live weather data’ in the MAIN menu(not just the game settings in Data) it makes for a huge boost in smoothness. Even if you are not using live weather and traffic in the settings when you were playing. If you can live with AI traffic and your own created weather(or weather presets).

And even if you have a super high speed connection it makes a difference. Definitely some optimization issues hide in there.

Odd day today, I did some sightseeing over Florida, very jittery and on outside view, I switched to rear-view and it froze for at least 5 seconds, audio was ok but video locked up, I was fully expecting a CTD but it came back ok, very odd.

I’m getting 100% reproducible CTD when selecting a mid air start at Airport Graveyard POI near Tucson. Seems in any plane, right after I click the Fly button, kaboom.

I’m in SU9 beta but I’ve not tried to go here before. Does anyone else see this? Also happens if I try to fly in from the airport, as soon as I get close to the POI.

I have no addons from anywhere near there. Cub crafter NXcub is one plane it happened with.

This doesn’t look as smooth as some of your other videos on this thread. I notice some microstutters. Some of your earlier vids looked almost flawless and made me want to put a beating on my PC

Live traffic definitely makes a difference and is one of the biggest hits on performance.

I still leave it on as I have a good/decent experience most of the time.

I’m in the beta and will check this today. Do you have the NXi installed?

Agreed, at 120hz I definitely see a few more stutters

It’s still looks awesome however, if you don’t look for them, you really don’t notice

Oddly I notice it more in the video than I did while flying. Keep in mind that the recording was done on my Xbox and that uses a bit of the resources and might also be the reason for a few more stutters

Tested and yes I get a CTD also get a CTD at the AFB that is there and starting from runway.

This was with basic C152

Funny, just recently i saw a screenshot and didn’t realize it was modeled at AMARC and did a quick start on the poi marker and it worked. Was in the x cub too of all things, not the NX though.

Ended up just landing on the apron at the adjacent airport to tag the time. Should try to restart from the log book to see what happens.

A lot of times I fly at 1am or so, so not a lot going on with live traffic.

It’s all down to personal preference really. If it’s good for you though then great. But a lot of us expected it to be just like on PC. For some of us, it’s difficult to play a sim without great 3P addons, coming from an FSX or P3D background. After all, that was the promise Asobo made - to make it like on PC. I’ve learned the hard way that was just a marketing speech. Got a PC and moved on.

I’m actually heading the same way on the long(er) hand. For me it is mostly the absence of good interface hardware like the TM Airbus Yoke/Quadrant and others on Xbox. Obviously also the lack of interfacing w. supporting SW-tools. On the other hand I’m a long standing Windows Insider and have also quite some PC HW experience and from that perspective simming on Xbox is a peace of cake👍 (… preferably Florida key lime pie… but that’s another story😆)

Do anybody know if they are working on Xbox series x and s bugs

i knew beforehand the limitations, shrugs, i accept them.
i am amased how good the series s runs it.
it is really unrealistic to expect a game with 3rd party addons the same on pc and console,
no such game exist.
