Is Microsoft putting out updates?

AFAIK, we're not even due for an update, but rather an update on upcoming updates on the 27th.  That would be the first derivative of an update...

If you've got version 1.7.12.0 then you're still on the initial-release version.

Notice how MS versioning looks more and more like IP addresses (x.x.x.x) !  As long as you have most of the 'important numbers", your pretty much up to speed. 😄

Welcome to AGILE programming. More frequent patching, tweaks, and small feature releases (much like Win10 "Patch Tuesday").

Nevermind!

I just restarted the sim and it's broken again. Headfake! Lol

Carry on.

Us OCC Flight ops guys call it another bloody defect. 

I have a cycling buddy who has just retired from Rolls Royce at Birmingham Business Park, nr Marston Green, West Midlands, England.

He's appalled by Microsoft releasing with this many 'bloody defects'.

I worked for a while at Lucas Aerospace, Shaftmore Lane, Birmingham; and The Radleys, Marston Green.

I moved to SAGEM, dealing with motorcar engine management. Two different worlds.

IMHO, for land-bound electronics, motorcar Engine Management Systems have the best reliability and give the least warranty claims of anything.

Its the Telematics, Infotainment and Human/Machine Interface that costs the most in warranty.

Hello,

 

I don’t use internal VSync but Nvidia CP Fast sync and external FPS limiter (30fps) and sim is very very smooth on my 7years old machine.

I rolled back my Nvidia driver yesterday,  perhaps that was what fixed it.

Why did you roll back?

I installed MSFS before went to the latest 'game ready' driver and noted some frame rates. I then upgraded the drivers. Noticed a slight drop ~1FPS. After a couple of days, I rolled it back to see if I could regain it. Unfortunately I could not reinstall the original version becsuse of DCH restrictions imposed by W10 2004 update (which is also installed), so I ended up going to a more recent supported Nvidia driver. Alas, it gave me identical FPS as the current one.
