Jim, I'm flying all over the place IFR w/ sids/stars and not using any mods in the TBM.  What does these mods offer?

They mods have always offered track up, (which the default finally does now as well), much better terrain displays, including relative terrain, where you only see the peaks that are within the “danger zone” as you climb or descend. The G3000 has a much improved flight plan entry via CDU that acts more like that found on a GTN750, with more flexibility in adding/deleting/modifying waypoints and procedures than the default.

Asobo have been taken in as much as we flight simmers have. It was never about flight simulation.

It's MS creating World 2.0 in the Azure Cloud for virtual reality.

Asobo have been made fools as much as we have they've just been paid for the privilege.

MS wins again.

You repeating this nonsense isn't going to make it any truer. 

Changing the settings to LOW, than flying some minutes and than changing the settings back to your normal (MEDIUM/HIGH) solved my FPS problem; the old good FPS came back again!

My Screen Resolution is 1920x1080. I set Render Scaling to 100%, but on the Render Scaling line in brackets it reads (Render Resolution 1920x1057). Should it not read 1920x1080? As far as I remember, before the Update,  that is what it was. I thought a 100% setting should be your Screen Resolution (1920x1080 in my case).

Any one else seeing crazy flaps issues ?

Not yet.  Any particular aircraft?

1920x1057 is often what you get in games running "maximised windows mode" as opposed to full screens

Been a few comments on MSFS forums, mainly about after market aircraft. it might be people that accidently got flipped legacy mode of course.

 

Jabiru and Carenado Piper Arrow seem to be the most mentioned.  The Jabiru guy has a patch ready to go.

Not yet. The notice just says:

G3000 v0.4.2 is now available: https://github.com/Working-Title-MSFS-Mods/fspackages/releases/tag/g3000-v0.4.2 This update makes the mod compatible with game patch 1.14.5.0 (aka Sim Update 3).

It's like a brick on my fps, almost unusable on my side.

Uneventful update for me. I cannot notice any difference whatsoever. A bit of a damp squib to be honest. Contrails I will never see, a couple of extra options which ought to be unnecessary  and a few old fictitious liveries. Great. A big fuss over nothing. 

Edited March 10, 20215 yr by jarmstro

Anyone know if it's safe to delete (uninstall) the Liveries without the Sim automatically wanting to re-download them upon next launch? I have zero interest in them and they're taking up space, over time with more Livery Packs that could be a lot of wasted space, thanks

Just playing Devil's Advocate.

Updated this morning and I can't detect any gain/ drop in performance or visuals. The contrails will have to wait as I rarely fly up that high.

Bit of a Nothing Update really.

Hadn't realised that was mandatory either. Wow, you learn something every day.

Well I just fully updated, rebooted, checked settings, and did my first and usual test flight between Sedona and Flagstaff, scattered clouds, and late afternoon sun to generate a few shadows. I checked MSFS had not changed my settings, but I never normally get that anyway, and even my user config file had remembered shadows at 4k and zero sharpening, so all good there.

I am happy to report that I had no issues (community C152), and performance was still stunning for me.  I still have my new setting of in-sim Vsync set at 30, and it is still great and silky smooth.

I also noticed a Kenmore C152 in there when I picked the C152!   So all good here up to now. 

The runway at Flagstaff was still fixed, which means performance was excellent (used to stutter badly when it had the black lines / fractures across it). 
Also, flaps seem alright and I greased every landing I attempted, so no complaints from me (I know the C152 is easy though!) 

I need to do a few more of my usual 'after-update' test flights but all good up to now.  I can now buy my Spitfire, the JF Arrow (tomorrow), and maybe even the Goshawk!  My credit card will be on fire! 

For those having issues, it could be a 3rd party addon not playing nicely, or some settings have been changed by the update.  I have everything back in my Community folder (including the TBM, which was just updated to work again).
I am holding off on Wycombe airfield as a performance problem was reported with that, but I will test it myself later.

Other things working for me: -

FS Blog tree mod - all still to the horizon!  (Note, there is a new version 3 of this over on the site).   I am reassessing this after doing a test flight in the Alps.  Tree distance does look shorter, and the trees even look different.
Toolbar handle remover (the white thing at the top of the screen when you move your mouse).
The instrument toggle in outside view (hidden HUD) .
VR VFR map (which is great, and better than the default map).  By the way, this was loading the map really quickly on scrolling.  It seemed to have lag before.
Propeller mods for virtually all default prop aircraft (more transparent and less stroby).

Other notes, I found the new fauna setting in the 'traffic' menu.  I guess it adjusts how many animals you get.
I saw the aircraft customisations, but haven't tried them yet.
Load times seem a bit quicker again, and quick between menus - maybe because a few things get refreshed.

Also, for the first time I tried rudder assistance in the sim (it only works while wheels are on the ground).  It's great and has really enhanced my enjoyment of the sim. 
The plane still moves about a little but it is much easier to correct and keep straight down the runway. 
You can also hold the nose off on landing without weaving all over the place, and on take of, as it hops up, it does a lovely little weather-vane into the wind - it feels great! 
So go on - don't let your pilot pride get the better of you, give it a try!  I am loving it, better than the unrealistic reaction wind on the ground, which has been really spoiling it for me - we all know reaction to wind on the ground is a bit broken, so it is acceptable to turn it off I think.   Anyway, back to more testing....

Yes mostly my experience too. 
im just using the old tree fix and it seems OK so far.

In the Icon at Queenstown, with ULTRA clouds, textures and 16x AF @2k I’m getting 40-60fps which is higher that I used to get.

strangely though about half way through the flight it went down to 15-20 and really stuttery for some minutes, until thankfully it returned to normal.

the scenery is amazing around Manapouri, only thing I noticed was some spikes in the Alps to the West of the aerodrome.

That seems to be the problem Ray   I've been getting this since WU3.  Stutters and random drops in FPS.  It could be the sim programing, but it feels like slow scenery loading to me.  I wonder if the servers are under pressure and perhaps trying a server in another part of the world might help.
