MS FS 2020 Update # 5 Now Available

[ark 1,293]

On startup I get a CTD if my Saitek Yoke and Rudder Pedals are connected. If I disconnect them, the sim opens, and then if I reconnect the yoke and pedals I get a CTD again.  Hard to understand how so many can have startup CTDs and controller issues even though this update was 'more thoroughly' tested. The Community folder was empty during the install, and I have not installed any new drivers. I'm not using a separate USB hub although the rudder pedals are plugged into the Saitek yoke. Very frustrating for all concerned, including Asobo!

Cannot update or even use the sim...a new window has popped up saying content server is not availble right now and try again later ?

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.

 

I am talking lightning - its raining here was asobo perfect depiction and no lightning - I understood you

Just a thought might be a real pia - but restore to factory bindings ? not an issue here so not going to do that

Theres a showstopping issue with the latest patch for some users. The fact that you cant even update right now may be a blessing in a weird way

Theres a possibility MS took the server down to halt the update and inject an updated patch? (fingers crossed for all who have issues atm)

Their complaining at MSFS forums the night lighting looks to much like xplane lol cant win

Their thought was that it was not easily reproduced.  I have never seen any inappropriate discharges of electricity either.
