Just started MSFS on December 9th, 2020 and there is a file that is the same version # and it states to FIX the 3rd party plane crashes. Apparently this is another Hotfix? It was real small, plus I don't have any 3rd party planes yet! I'm confused 🙂 But in a good way!

Among other things, today's update contained a file which completely eradicated the last of the coral water features in Bahamas and Turks and Caicos. I dont see how that was pressing.

And the Seminole's static elements don't. (last tested: 8 hours ago)

We asked them to fix the water masks in the Q&A, and they fixed them the same way they fixed the night lighting and the autopilot.......

I hope they redeem themselves with the water mask because if i recall people were complaining about the ground giving off light. Not the actual night lighting. I was doing most of my flights at night at the time and was awed at how realistic it looked. Absolutely no complaints.  What they replaced it with just came off as just freaking spiteful. grids upon grids of bright white light completely dominating the environment. For me its pointless to complain anymore. Can only hope it eventually gets better. If it does then money will get spent on the ecosystem If it doesn't ill just re purpose my rig for racing at some point next year.

Having massive stutters now. Sim becomes unplayable after maybe 10 minutes of flight. Freezes for 5 to 10 seconds. Removed all my add-ons from community folder. Tried the 172 and a couple more standard planes. Same problem. Any idea what to look for? 

RobJC, if you have the NavLog on turn that off. I might help (a long shot but for a few users that is a big issue). But it's a rare problem, so probably won't help.

I don't understand this, surely water masks, like other scenery elements would be server based. Maybe they have removed all client based water masks, in readiness for the improvements planned in this area - which I would imagine be streamed.

You're not alone in your confusion. The need for this change at all, particularly pushing in out in a hot fix, has baffled many of us.

Okay thanks i will check. 

Looks like it was my internet causing stutters. Turned off online features and it is fine.

what are you talking about? I have version 1.0.9 I think of the long ez and I've never seen the pilot sticking out in external views. 

It doesn't happen to everyone, but it is common. The dev reported being unable to reproduce it himself, but acknowledged many people were reporting it. 

But!!! I just checked and there's an update to the long EZ in the Content Manager and I'm downloading it now. NICE.

To quote Vader, "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."

Well I be dang, Didn't know we got updates in the Content Manager for items. Maybe in the very far future they can add some kind of notification about these. Unless it already does and I dismissed them somehow?

OK, so now I have LongEZ 1.1.1 and the pilot problem is STILL THERE and MUCH WORSE.

The dev said he removed the MSFS people and replaced them with people that are unique to the LongEZ to get around the pilot placement issues entire, because that seemed to be an Asobo bug he had no control over. WELL, now I get the pilot, co pilot that come with the LongEZ AND The MSFS versions AND they stick WAY out, much father than before AND the old fix I used to get them to pop back in the aircraft moves them, but only closer, not into the aircraft. So now I have NO way to have them not outside the aircraft, so external views are just inherently messed up now. 

I'd be laughing at how ridiculous this is except it's pretty darn irritating. To wait weeks for a fix and then it just makes things much worse.
