Fixed freezes happening when using the flight assistant when setting a new destination

UI

VR options should no longer be duplicated in the Option menu

Marketplace “Get and download” and “Download” buttons will now function as expected on the Content Page

User unable to interact with UI elements with the in game cursor for free flight in some cases

PLANES

Improvements of pitot static system to fix altimeter bugs, improve accuracy and correctly simulate temperature impact

Fixed AutoBrakes Button Behavior on the Airbus A320Neo

ACTIVITY / GAMEPLAY

The correct runway is now taken into account for the Landing challenge at Nice

Pilots are now displayed in external view at the Isafjordur Landing challenge

Title will no longer become unresponsive after using Fuel Supply and using a fuel or payload as a numerical value via ATC Ground Services

Some achievements will no longer be awarded in error for certain landing scenarios

WEATHER

Fixed big temperature spikes at high altitudes

SDK

Added new airspace to nearest facility JS API

Fixed crashes on WASM modules for older CPUs

We are actively working on making this sim the best experience possible, and look forward to seeing videos, comments, and more from you about this release.

Awesome.  It also wouldn’t be the first time it was stated that there would be a hot fix tomorrow only to find no hot fix tomorrow.

Secondly, even if there is a hot fix tomorrow, and I hope there is, they have probably been working on it for some time now since many of these things were listed as “known issues” in the technical notes.

What sort of performance hit did you have by turning off HT?

Oh, yeah I should've mentioned that the temp drops were actually a secondary benefit of turning it off. There was a thread on another forum several weeks ago and guys were finding FPS improvements of 10 or more and that is my experience as well. There really is no downside that I can see. I only turned it back on after the SU5 update because Aboso claimed they had improved multi core functionality. Much to my chagrin, I did not find that to be the case.

talk about finding the negative in every single aspect of life!  Geez.......some people.

despite your vulgar reply…
 

Only because it has happened previously.  Overall, I am extremely positive for the sim, past and present.  However, this update was a real gut punch to those who already had the sim working properly.

Guess what though this sim is already a technological breakthrough and personally I welcome the umpteen sim and world updates (for free!).  The nature of software development at this level means unfortunately things will break with each update, but things will also improve.  Each and every time something has broken Asobo have fixed it.  Kudos to them.  I'd much rather have it this way than a sim that isn't updated at all.

So did they actually optimise processes to other CPU threads, like they said they did, or just degrade the sim to make it seems like it was optimised?

I believe they did, I can seen better use of cpu resources across all 8 cores, less ram and vram footprint too.

No quarrel from me regarding their intentions, and having been in the software development industry for 33 years, I understand constraints.  Asobo has stated that they are in this for 9 more years, and I am sure there will be many more releases that take a step backwards, with the inevitable goal of moving forward.

For those who messed around with the Usercfg.opt file by editing and making it read only better restore it.

Oh man!  Is that why my view settings are all gone now?   

I completely forgot to save that file before I updated.

Always appreciate seeing that expression, although preferably kicked off with an emphatic ‘Much’.

They never gave us any feedback.

If there is one thing at this point that we should be all able to agree on, its that experience's are varying widely with this update.

 

What airport is that?

Interesting, I’ve been flying with HT on pretty much since MSFS was released as I found I got far fewer shudders with it on.  Worth a try turning it off though as much could have changed one year in.

A great example of negative-toxicity is ultra visible ( at maximum settings) on X-Plane Next Generation Forestry preview on youtube. Almost 80% of comments are dedicated to MSFS like there is a F-SIM-War! 

I find the defensive attitude to a simulator quite strange.  Surely flight simming itself is what’s important?  Obviously it is good for everyone that there is some sort of competition in flight sims.  Laminar research have been forced to update X Plane to stand a chance of surviving in a world with MSFS.

The two previews they have released so far look promising.  I don’t suppose they will have technology like Bing maps data, but if the aircraft fly well and the world looks believable then it will be on my system alongside MSFS.
