[nicboyGS 34]

Anyone noticed the frame rate dropped a lot, any way to improve it?

No USB hub, all USB ports on the motherboard, CTD here.

That's interesting. 

I really hope this USB issue will be patched and fixed immediately. It seems like it's quite prevalent. 
I also hope my Carenado Mooney will be patched soon.
The visual upgrades with water reflections and such look absolutely amazing. So I hope that stuff is kept. 

Crossing my fingers hoping for a quick fix.

Disable motion blur? Just guessing as my sim is not starting.

I am seeing now “LimitedByRdrThread” in the FPS window when it renders any scenery imported from Google maps and the GPS will drop from 40 to 20, anybody has noticed this?
Apart from that, no CTD or so ever, happy with the patch and I find the night lighting nice.

I noticed this too, what is this “LimitedByRdrThread” thing?

It seems like some people who have connected peripherals through certain USB hubs are having issues. 

The only  issues I noticed was that the sensitivity was changed. Had to pull back hard on the joystick to take off.

Thrustmaster 16.000M joystick works fine.

Logitech/Saitek Throttle Quadrants x2 works fine.

Logitech/Saitek Rudder Pedals work fine. 

All are connected through a USB hub. I'm not running FSUIPC. I have the Microsoft Store version of the sim.

Not true.  I eliminated the hub and the issues still exist.  I think it is an issue with our old profiles, but I can't get to them to delete them because of CTD.  

I did manage to startup with my HOTAS X disconnected and my CH Flight Sim Pro connected and start to create a new profile.  Yea!....But if I try to change the profile using the arrow keys to another one, so I can load it in and delete it.......CTD...

So, in short,  CH Flight Sim Pro default works, but is utterly blank.  A new profile created off that works.   But I can't delete any profiles, and If I start my HOTAS X, it crashes even before I can get to the profiles to delete them.

I have the MS Store version, so it's not easy to identify which xml files the profiles are stored under.

I disconnected everything but my keyboard and mouse. Still CTD. 

I methodically disconnected each peripheral in turn, restarted the sim, Boom each time. Like the rest of you a perfect sim beforehand. In fact I felt rather smug about having no issues worth talking about. Bit me on the bum eh?

Both were addressed - went live ASOBO weather also - its raining here it was spot on and no lighting 

Well I didn't see any mention of fixing the lightning in clear skies problem. The Devs twitch stream from a few days ago they said they didn't know what the problem was. And I got it today after the patch 5 flying in Orlando, clear skies 32 degrees C, looked up the real weather no storms forecast but was lightning all over the place for me.  

The other aspects of the weather, wind speed, temp clouds etc.. do seem to be working correctly now though.

Yes. Atrociously blurred pfd and mfd. But scenery not bad. Cannot fix it. The usual one step forward and two steps backwards.

Thanks Robert.  I really thought it was just me....lol.  Getting old over here. 🙂 Eyes and things.

Think its your end Robert, just did a flight from EGLC to EGGS in your Turbo and it was fantastic. FYI I DL new drivers out today.

I think it is something I missed in graphic settings. Thanks.

Try turning off Anti-Aliasing completely, does that help?

I watched entire twitch video they did address the night lighting they made the visibility distance larger watch video again - was hoping for a little more x-planish but I'll take what I can get

Lightning problem well thats not good sorry to hear that - I only used real weather for 10 mins in my area no lighting which there shouldnt have been - looked fine - who knows well see - just need to give it more time - at least they are trying 

[Elvensmith 165]

747 AP still horribly broken. At least it holds altitude steady now but still hunts from side to side on the vector.

Still lost the flightplan on loading a saved game. Destination airport re-input to FMC but after wrangling in an approach, still flies straight over the airport.

You should be able to do that now I did AA is great out of the box - only running 2x in game settings now - 43" sony 4k tv fyi - NVCP is at factory flightsim settings

New video driver out today guys ? let me know what you think dont want to mess up my new AA - running 456.71 presently - thanks

I just wonder why they are messing with features nobody is asking for? We reported LOD issues, tree draw distance, fligh model, autopilot, lightining, weather. And they instead decided to mess with USB controllers. They know better apparently 😞

And all this happens despite thy delayed the patch to allow better testing.

I said lightning was something they didn't fix, not the lighting, I am aware they fixed (or changed) the night lighting.

I am talking lightning i.e. the electrical discharge you get in storms.
