Hotfix 1.18.14.0 is now live!

[thomasl123 5]

OK, i just made my testflight from LOWI to LOWW,....as always,....with the latest FBW 320 dev. version.I have no idea if it is the FBW Airbus or the sim. The bird is not able to keep his FL. It is 100 ft above the Flightlevel of FL270 or 200 below. That was it for me,.... i will leave this now and go back to P3d, there i have constancy and i know what i have. I installed the hotfix now....no ctd's but still rubish....

When you are using X-box controller for the camera then there are a white dot in the center. And the is no way to turn it of definitely. You can read more here

That white dot is only shown when youre in that camera mode. The mode where youre trying to select a knob or make some instrument change. You can then change the camera mode to remove the whit dot (cursor).

Ah, I don't use an Xbox controller for anything which is what confused me.

I had hoped that the GA Training flights would return after the Hotfix but they are still missing from my sim for some reason!🙄

Every one to his own. I am content to persevere with MSFS as a few bugs here and there are common place after a massive update but the major bugs tend to get ironed out fairly rapidly. Have fun.

Something that worked for me for those getting the Sim freezing after clicking 'Fly Now' - I restarted flightsim and went into graphics settings and manually set to 'High' - I had previously used the NVidia Game Ready settings to optimize graphics settings.  Since manually changing them in MSFS directly, I have no Freeze / CTD issues.  Flying FBW A320 LMML - EGKK  now for the last Hour with no CTDs yet. Hope this helps someone else out 🤞

The lockup when replugging mouse and KB is definitely not fixed. First thing I tried.  Lockup for a min then ctd on the world map.

From my initial tests with new hotfix, 1.18.14.0  looks like panning redraw is reduced .. 

Why would they leave out of the release notes the one thing that people are complaining about the most?

It looks like this is the SAVE FACE update, they changed some comments in the code. Only kidding, I have no idea what they changed. I'm not able to retrieve the update yet for some reason. The code push was done by rainman and the other half by buckethead (sorry if people cannot find humor in this).

Quick update: No CTDs so far after two quick flights. One thing I cannot see are any AI aircraft in the skies. I tried Realtime and the map shows lots of planes, but I see none of them. If I select Offline AI with 60% the skies show nothing. This was taking off from JFK.  

just did a flight around london with live traffic , they certainly are there.

i do have show generic to on.

What aircraft are you in? I haven't had any problems at EGLL as there is where I first tested SU5 to see the performance improvements.

A320 Default - I have nothing in my community folder - I have tons of marketplace purchases (airports).   I can start in Iceland - USA ETC but not in England.

I assume I can just move everything in my marketplace folder out to see if thats the issue - I do not want to delete and re install as I dont want to take the bandwidth hit.  I am hoping I can find an offender and just leave that out for now....but I am not 100% sure thats the issue.

oh, never ever use nvidia to let it set your settings. i can do it manually always better.

Quick test not looking promising, at all. The loading times from menu to flight has increased significantly on my setup. And the dreaded stutters are back. Enjoyed this sim for a few days with no stutters, and maybe they did something with the LOD's as I don't see the popping when panning as in SU5. But still, I would prefer a little popping when changing views to stutters

And the white dot is still there. A joke

 

 

If they remove the white dot, the xbox users wont be able to point and click, just like if they removed the mouse cursor, pc users would be able to point and click smh

I can see the labels, but picking up the actual planes is almost impossible on my 1440p monitor. I have seen one, but that was at higher altitude, so I could spot it easier. Previously I could see lights and the planes looked bigger. Now I am looking right at the label but the plane is invisible.
