True David! 👍  Maybe there is too much input sometimes and it makes them chase their own tail not knowing or understanding what people want.  Subjective matters like this are difficult to resolve to everyone's liking.

Ultimately, after starting out working with the community, I can just see them taking firm control - 'We have had enough, we can't do right for doing wrong, it's our sim, we are doing it our way, if you don't like it tough!' (they wouldn't say the last thing of course, but they would think it.)

Personally, despite my own issues and complaints about the sim, I would have taken this route a long time ago!  

It doesn't make it right about the buggy regressions they have introduced though (not the subjective opinion ones) - that is on them, nobody gave them a bum steer on the scenery spikes and distorted coastlines etc. 
A lot of this negativity and noise would go away if they just introduced hotfixes quicker.  If a guy on flightsim.to did it in a matter of days with Asobo's own files he had backed up, I am sure they should be able to.  It would solve a lot of the negativity issues.  👍

I agree, but its also down to all the MSFS bashers, "its not a sim", its "just an Xbox game"...blar blar blar, "they will give up on it so fast"...the same people that said "it wold never run on a PC because like FSX it will take 2 years before a PC can run it". Remember? So Asobo shows us how much they are supporting us by showing us how fast they give us updates.....and yes your right, there to fast and they are making mistakes, but imo its amazing how fast there working on trying to update the sim, sure they need to take a step back. Take a deep breath and stop listening to the bashers and haters. Beta test the updates and then release please.

I love this sim and its still only 3 months old. "Patience is a virtue" few here have any.

Lets take the OP for an example of a post here.

So I'm flying in a C152.  On the tail it says G-BRBP and on the panel it says G-BRBP so why does MSFS keep calling me by it's default callsign?

Then it tells me to enter the pattern for RWY 27 in a raging easterly wind.

When I take off or land an airport vehicle drives across the runway in front of me.

Add to that, the fact that my Logitech Attack 3 joystick is still too twitchy even with sensitivity at -99 and reactivity at 1.

The other day it told me I wasn't connected to the internet when I was and last week asked me to put a a DVD that I don't have in the DVD drive that I don't have either.

Following the last update, my terrain is littered with spikes.

What Is driving you around the bend with MSFS.

You need to edit your call sign in ATC User error

Then it tells me to enter the pattern for RWY 27 in a raging easterly wind. There is an option to ignore the winds and also to pick the runway you want. Not perfect I agree but not hard to work around. Lack of user know how but not not perfect ATM, name a sim that does have one a perfect ATC?

When I take off or land an airport vehicle drives across the runway in front of me. Never had it but I have all that turned down to 20%. Turn setting to stop it. 

Add to that, the fact that my Logitech Attack 3 joystick is still too twitchy even with sensitivity at -99 and reactivity at 1. That's your end most people think the new controls are great and never had a problem with my hardware at all. From day one.

The other day it told me I wasn't connected to the internet when I was and last week asked me to put a a DVD that I don't have in the DVD drive that I don't have either. Never had that, that's also your end.

Following the last update, my terrain is littered with spikes. yes this is a problem with the new update. Go grab the fix. Read forums, find a fix and go enjoy!

So here is another example if someone read the forums and did a bit of home work just how many of these things could really be "driving us round the bend"?

The requesting a dvd fault is down to either poor or loss of internet connection. It can also be triggered by  the wrong time being on your PC clock. sort both, issue goes.

You need to edit your call sign in ATC User error.  Callsign edited.  Not user error

Then it tells me to enter the pattern for RWY 27 in a raging easterly wind. There is an option to ignore the winds and also to pick the runway you want. Not perfect I agree but not hard to work around. Lack of user know how but not not perfect ATM, name a sim that does have one a perfect ATC? FSX was always able to assign a correct runway along with its predecessors, X-Plane and P3D. It seems reasonablle to expect this to work correctly in 2020.

When I take off or land an airport vehicle drives across the runway in front of me. Never had it but I have all that turned down to 20%. Turn setting to stop it. Turning down your traffic to 20% is hardly a solution to a programming error

Add to that, the fact that my Logitech Attack 3 joystick is still too twitchy even with sensitivity at -99 and reactivity at 1. That's your end most people think the new controls are great and never had a problem with my hardware at all. From day one.Not my end at all.  The stick works fine in FSX and other applications.  The stick exhibits exactly the same problem in MSFS in a different PC in a different location.

The other day it told me I wasn't connected to the internet when I was and last week asked me to put a a DVD that I don't have in the DVD drive that I don't have either. Never had that, that's also your end. You may not have had that problem, but a bit of research would have told you that several others have. It's a problem with their authentification system.

Following the last update, my terrain is littered with spikes. yes this is a problem with the new update. Go grab the fix. Read forums, find a fix and go enjoy! I have installed the fix but unfortunately it doesn't apply to the UK.

So here is another example if someone read the forums and did a bit of home work just how many of these things could really be "driving us round the bend"? This someone has been using flight simulators since FS2, built a new rig for nearly every FS update along with a new rig for MSFS.  He was writing photo scenery and building airfields for FSX, creates watermasks, mesh scenery from imported data and from scratch when the need has arisen and can edit and hack file components when necessary. He reads the forums almost daily, and researches all of his issues thoroughly.  Please can I respectfully ask you to be a little less judgemental and give a little more consideration to the tone of your comments.  Thank you.

FYI, I am also a qualified RW pilot and flown many hours in gliders and ultralights as well.

I respectfully ask you to do then same. 

As for the UK never seen any spikes. But anyway. You clearly know best and being a RW pilot your clearly seem to think that makes you better!

As you put it FYI Am just a 30 year business owner and probably contribute more to other simmers that you could possibly know. 

As a RW Pilot your choice of joystick leaves a lot to be desired!

It seem people don’t have your problems with call signs or the other things you list but hey you know best. Or not!

BTW what was the point of this topic your clearly no best and don’t want any help so you’re last line was

“What Is driving you around the bend with MSFS.“

So your just asking others to pile in to make a big moaning thread, what for? To make you feel better?

The mappamundi fix should apply worldwide.. check which fix you installed.. 😉

Yes, same here. Just over 100 hours up for me now Rob, and plenty of good hours!  

I just get frustrated when I go in after an update to see some things have gone backwards somewhat, and knowing a fix might not be coming anytime soon, but mostly because there is no reason why some of the regressions seem to happen - it is a mystery, and seems to be to Asobo as well sometimes.  I do actually like the developers, and I feel sorry for them (almost embarrassed for them) when the issues happen.  It is perplexing and frustrating for them just as much I am sure. 👍

Yeah, I have also gotten frustrated a few times from stutters mainly. I think many of the issues can be explained by backend server issues and the fact that this sim is so data driven. They get bad data and it is almost impossible to QA it to make sure there are no problems. Then we report an issue and maybe they add that to the QA checklist. Big planet. Plus throw in the servers acting up, and it can seem like they are chasing their tails sometimes. It would be hard to QA this thing for sure.

Please can you tell me where I can find this mappamundi fix? Sounds like a fix worth having.

The sim is brilliant in so many ways. I get that new approaches sometimes requires breaking old things....but who the heck was in charge of coding the default RNAV functionality? Why did they feel the need to invent a new way of doing things that bears absolutely no resemblance to reality? As limited as the old default GPS was in prior versions of Flight Simulator, at least it got the basics more or less right. The new system boggles the mind. That's what drives me nuts. And yes, it has been reported since the beginning of Alpha testing. And yes, I realize there is supposed to be an update to improve it. And yes, I have no faith that it will be fixed (prove me wrong ASOBO....please).

Hi Bert. The page at that link advises that a newer version is available.

Then get the newer version.. V1.1.1 is the one I use 😉

Appears the notice on the page is in error.  There is a contradiction between the version and the indication. It appears the indication of a newer version is in error and v1.1.1 is current.

With regard to the control sensitivity I do not personally have any issues at all as I use a FFB joystick and winding the forces up fairly high in XPForce solved any sensitivity issues for me instantly.

However people with short throw  combat sticks designed for fast response do have issues and the problems ARE an issue with the sim itself. Here is what the developers of the Bleriot had to say about the MSFS flight model.

 

Quote

Meanwhile, Pamela Brooker took a deep dive into the new flight model, and while some aspects have been improved upon drastically in the new simulator, some other parts of the aerodynamics simulation seem to have been forgotten. The result is a flight model which needs extreme overdamping of the controls and still results in oversensitivity of rudder, elevator and ailerons. Despite those issues, Pamela managed to find a way to get the Blériot XI to conform to her numbers. From an aerodynamics point of view she has created a study-level representation of this iconic 1909 flying machine.

That's my biggest disappointment with the sim at the moment, I think the most shocking thing about it and I'm in disbelief it is that it's not even mentioned that it's a priority to be fixed in the latest update. Seems to be an issue they just don't want to admit or take on.
