Happy to report we will have some messaging around that bug soon though! 10 minutes ago, marsman2020 said: lights in the middle of runways Quote No update on that particular bug today, looks like they are still investigating. I’ll be sure to post in that thread when I know more! From the official forums.
February 18, 20215 yr Wow, some great screenshots this week. Surprised they didn't have anything to say about the bugs, but I know they're more active with that on the official forum right now.
February 19, 20215 yr The feedback snapshots have the same items since the beginning. New stuff has no chance to make It to the list if they never reset the votes. Edited February 19, 20215 yr by DaWu Lukas Dalton
February 19, 20215 yr They asked people to take a "For the love of IFR" screenshot and then picked a winner that was in VFR conditions. Ha. AMD 3950X | 64GB RAM | AMD 5700XT | CH Fighterstick / Pro Throttle / Pro Pedals
February 19, 20215 yr I am surprised none asked for VR performance improvement. After I applied various community patch for G3000, G1000, VR performance is now a medium slideshow, stuttering mess. Vu Pham i7-13700K 5.2 GHz OC, 64 GB RAM, RTX5090, SSD for Sim, SSD for system. MSFS2020, XP-12, DCS

What has Asobo to do with bad community code that breaks performance? Lukas Dalton

Ok, I should also added, VR performance prior to these patches were also awful. The point is that there are no items on VR performance improvement, which is bad at the moment.
