Not only in the official fourms or here. Even in FB groups. Just earlier, I saw somebody asking about waypoints as he has no idea about them and he wanted to understand what are they and why they have been used, then bunch of comments mocking and making fun of him as a "Xbox user aka gamer". Sometimes this community reaches new low of ethics

 

 

Behavior like this makes me very sad, that we old foxes quarrel with each other is one thing, but to make fun of beginners is unforgivable behavior at the lowest level. 😔

Oh, and fixing the traffic causing ctd so we can turn it back on again. 

Live Traffic works fine for me..... so far.

Well, we can also be honest and admit many of the "complainers" (is that a word?) make a point to word their posts in such a way that it is offensive to the users that have no problems. They often seem to forget that a LOT of people are running the sim trouble free. I guess both sides need balance and composure.

I am alright about being called a 'complainer', if that is what I do over a specific issue(s).  That is factual, and I would rather be called that than a child or whinger etc., although I don't let it affect me from coming from the ones I have no respect for anymore anyway!

But this thing about balance.  If that is what we need, then I wholeheartedly agree.  Maybe lack of recognition or self awareness is the issue, and I am sorry if I have contributed to it.  

So, please help me out here (I am not being sarcastic).  Can you give me an example of 'making a point to word their posts in such a way that it is offensive to the users that have no problems'. 
I am not being funny, I really haven't seen this, and I don't know how it would work.  Maybe that is part of my problem.

You see, if I am enjoying the sim (and believe me I really do most of the time - there are times I have been absolutely awestruck by it), if I saw a thread with people complaining, I would pop in to have a look to see if there is anything I could do to help, but if not, I would feel sorry for them, and leave the thread without commenting on anything; I certainly wouldn't feel offended, or start calling them whingers etc..  So is it me?  Is there something I am not recognising or I am not seeing?  Serious Question!

I have had it turned on today on three flights, haven't seen any live traffic yet.

Hotfix? Roll back to SU4 would be my preference. I'll take a 10% FPS increase and be more than happy rather than this scunnering nonsense.

Is anyone getting ctds from thermal throttling? I haven’t had any yet, but had hardware monitor on for a flight last night and saw one core get up to 91degrees, without an overclock.

You must be a jinx and me a lucky dog. We can sure argue about washed out colors and stuff. I've only 3 hours after the upgrade so far, but 0 (zero) CTDs, as much Live Traffic as before and no blurry panels (okay, that's in the C172).

Kind regards, Michael

The flame/flag wars in the official forums had become extremely bad though, with lots of hostility directed towards Xbox users (and at Microsoft/Asobo for daring to release an Xbox version as well). Which makes me wonder why we have so many posters constantly dissing AVSIM.

I suspect a lot of those posters actually are from Avsim.......

Freed form moderation.

Not surprising that the patience is running out.

I haven't seen any either, but I have heard ATC talk to them, maybe Asobo made them invisible to save some fps 🙂

Good of Asobo!  After they release this hotfix for CTDs, I hope they can work on that slider so PC users can control how much of the view is culled to reduce the pop-in of distant objects when you change your view to a different sirection.

Does anybody here have an Xbox X with MSFS installed? Is the Options | Controls menu pretty much the same as the PC version?

I ask because maybe the slider isn't there to prevent Xbox X users from using high performance settings which would exceed what the Xbox could display nicely.

This sounds like fake news.  It wouldn’t be the first time things were said about a hot fix and then there was no hot fix, or it took weeks to deliver.  Hopefully we hear this directly from Asobo sooner than later.

After SU5 it's an Xbox game/sim whatever, ported on PC.

 Anyone making this argument is saying they have no idea what they're talking about.  Well, either that or you're intentionally using inflammatory rhetoric, which does nothing but contribute to the heated atmosphere.  The dev team have been very clear that the PC and the XBox versions are one and the same codebase, there is no "porting" to speak of.

The biggest problem for me at the moment is not actually the sim, but people on this forum calling people 'negative' or 'whiners' when they are trying to go over the problems they are having.

The problem is, for every reasonable person like you, there is another who is impatient, intolerant, and just looking for a fight.  On both sides.  The sim is not perfect, nor is it total garbage, and anyone holding one view or the other is an irrational extremist.   There there seem to be not many of the former, and a lot of the latter, here at times.

Also, a lot of folks here obviously know next to nothing about software development at the scale of the sim but still seem to have lots of opinions on how it can/should be done and rather unreasonable expectations.   That doesn't help, either.

But I guess that's just human nature.
