Yeah.. the official forums have gone batwhatsit crazy...   some people claim to have rebooted so many times (to see if that fixes it) that they have probably covered the time involvement of pressing any key to continue for the next 10 years 🙂

I have to say it is an incredible meltdown over a first world problem 🙂

Microsoft/Asobo dug their own grave on this one by (a) allowing for 'voting' on bugs/issues, which is a poor way to prioritize work anyway (b) including it as part of of 'update 4' in the feedback roundup (c) not delivering.

All the transparency in the world isn't worth word not allowed if they literally lie to people the Thursday before the update comes out.  Regardless of if it's the "press any key" program or the "make the G1000 actually usable" problem - how can we trust anything else they say, if between Thursday and Tuesday things disappear from the promised updates?

OR - how about this - if it dropped of the list for some reason, explain why and apologize like adults?

Just confirming here that the new patch does nothing to fix the LOD and terrain texture resolution issues that were broken in the last patch.

I'm seeing the same trees popping in directly in front of the plane when flying at 1000-1500 ft., fewer autogen buildings at the same object LOD setting (100) I had before, and open ground texture in the middle distance is very blurry compared to the initial release of the sim.

That is in my regular flying area around my home GA airport where there is no photogrammetry. Areas with heavy photogrammetry may mask the issues.

It looks like I'll have to wait for another patch to see if VFR sightseeing is worthwhile again. I'm not stamping my foot and threatening to quit the sim, but it's very disappointing that Asobo can't manage to fix what they broke in the last patch.

If Asobo effed up again because they announced something getting addressed and it wasn't, then this is a legit whine and they should hear it loud and clear, no matter how trivial it is. We've been talking about it for three weeks now how much their regression testing sucks along with quality of delivery.

Just had time to fire it up to take a quick peek. No thunder and lightning using live weather for the first time since the last patch. And building heights are fixed.

I just completed a post-patch 1.9.5, multiplayer (live weather) flight out of KDXR, and there was significant thunder and lightning (both) and completely overcast skies. But then again, that *roughly* (not entirely) corresponds to the RL weather atm.

No issues with download or installation.

Moved all my adons from the Community folder prior to update, just flown EGLL - LFPG Bog default A320... all ok, AP fine, Approach, ILS all good. VFR Map opened mid flight to see if it would CTD, It Works as should.Off to try the Flybywire version

Patches usually break the community mods.  Just wait for the FlyByWire team to get a fix out.

They did not mentioned they are doing anything regarding this. Why did you expected this at all ?

Will slowly move stuff back into community folder and observe.

I kept backup copies of all that I have placed in my Community folder.  Did not remove anything from Community before the update.  The update went smoothly.  The sim started and there appeared to be a couple of issues with mods and liveries.  I shut the sim down, rebooted my system, started the sim, and all appears to be fine with my avionics mods and liveries.  The only performance mode I have in place is the one from Robert for the G36 and I have not flown since the update.

When downloading 1.9.3.0 the sim was constantly restarting downloading the packages from zero. I fixed this by limiting transfer to 3Mbps with NetLimiter ($20), only to find later that the real cause was the bandwitch imitation option it the sim set to 5Mbps. So I disabled the limitation.

This time after downloading 64% (pc-fa-base-bigfiles-0.1.75.fspatch) it's no longer restarting the download. It just stopped downloading alogether.

I wonder whether I should consider this as the move in the right direction 😉

I restarted the sim - it's attempting to download the same file again (pc-fa-base-bigfiles-0.1.75.fspatch).

What is also quite strange:

- when the donwload is active the load on the CPU is 4%,

- when I press Pause to stop the dowload the CPU load goes to 20%.

I would expect the other way round. This crazy sim is using more CPU with dowload paused, versus active..

Downloaded and installed with no issues, like all patches thus far, nice.
