How do they know "your house" is the most popular destination? And why do they keep track? I intentionally flew through a prohibited area the other day ... hope that doesn't get me in trouble 😜

Great news all around

It helps to have a bit of faith in Asobo:)

I originally read "feedback indigestion". Probably more true than not.

Well they did mention people were having issue with wind. 🤣

 Try crashing into the White House 20 times then see if the Secret Service comes to visit you to see what you're "practicing for" 😉

But...but...but...I thought everyone at Asobo was now working on the XBOX version, and that the PC version was now "DOA with no further support to be expected"...

word not allowed...that's pretty nice tbh.

Great news, hopefully be less negativity around here now, and the Sim bashing can stop

Not going to happen, less bashing more negativity to come. Helis, VR, Trees and backwards floating boats will remain. Oh and replays and contrails. Oh forgot I can't get my sim to run 60 fps at 4K

Inertia fix coming this month. It'll be interesting to see the results.

They seem to be working on a lot of stuff, considering I've read there's only ten of them still on the project, haha.  Sarcasm aside, glad to see them not just mentioning all of the top feedback points, but actually making it clear that they are DIRECTLY tracking the forum feedback on these issues.

People with an iota of software development knowledge last week were telling everyone to relax, and this is why.  Installation problems are a five-alarm fire you have to fix ASAP, so paying customers can use what they paid for.  With that mostly out of the way, they can focus on improvements to the software itself.

So many hyperventilating people seemed to take that first allegedly "underwhelming" update as some sort of ridiculous mission statement on their dedication to the sim long term.

Chill out, and strap in for the long road.

Great seeing the updates but was really hoping to see something about DirectX 12 support, DLSS and multi thread support for CPU 😞

Awesome update. Super happy to hear that the wind issue has been fixed and will be released in September.

The phraseology being used is "significantly improved" so it's possible your statement is premature.

So MS is still ignoring top issues and lying about their importance to the community:

This topic has many more comments than most of the listed ones and also more upvotes. 

 

As a matter of fact the patch did not adress this and hasn't helped people who still can't play the game

Fair enough, but I’m expecting it to be pretty solid. Hopefully they’ve gotten it to at least be in a decent state 😕

I'm intensively communicate with comunity in my country (many hundreds people), but nobody has problém with crash to desktop. So it must be a minor problem, probably caused by some software installed on users PCs with non standard acces to windows (typicaly antiviruses, cleaners etc.), not a basic problem of MSFS.
