Ain't live for me, still shows the previous version despite trying everything. Frankly even if it was showing up, the update process for MSFS is farcical.

If anyone is having issues downloading the update open the Xbox app on your PC and it will download the update.

To be fair, they've been fixing the new issues in a very timely manner.

They've been kind of slow with DEV mode fixes, but those are sometimes more complicated. Waiting on SU 6 for that.
I haven't had a chance to check this update out, but those screenshots look sharper at altitude, looks sharper than I've ever seen it at that alt.

 

I don't know if I can wait 20 days for the fix of ATC using the wrong altitude.

Had the same. Logged out of the store, rebooted, and logged back in. That seemed to push it.

That did the trick, thanks Dylan!

Now imagine having constant CTDs every time you try to enjoy the simulator a little while. 

I think that should be priority #1

This is the best Hotfix I downloaded a solid A for Asobo.

Positives: That god awful lighting is gone

                Much easier to adjust stuff on the fly(pun intended) while going to menu

                I still get minimal pop up but it used to be blurry now nice and clear.                                                       I can live with that.

Opened MS Store and got 400MB+ update (had to manually refresh the updates) it did not show on the open for updates page.

What is weird is....I started my sim and it did not go to the Store, but when it all loaded up the title bar said I'm on 1.18.15

I never saw it update anything.  Usually it goes to the store, etc. etc.

I haven't had constant CTDs in a week, so I really can't relate.

Sometimes it will do it in the background without prompting.

Now we just need the tree "crawling" fixed. I love how fast all the menus are, changing graphics settings only takes a couple seconds. 

The only real problem I had prior to this fix was overexposed everything. Now is fixed and was able to turn bloom back on. 15 minutes into my first flight panning around in exterior view had the first CTD I can recall ever having. Restarted and took a 30 minute flight with no problems. Everything looks great.

As far as FPS Gain or loss I have no idea because it’s a completely meaningless number, and I don’t know why everyone is constantly obsessing over it. Is the sim smooth? Yes.

Another joke of a hotfix that can't manage to fix basic broken jetways and missing terminal walls and roofs....

 

[BUG LOGGED] SU5 Airports missing terminal walls/floating roofs - Bugs & Issues / Airports - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

Seriously? While I respect your ability to express your opinion, jetways and missing terminal roofs have little bearing on what this software is really about. This is after all a flight simulator.

Some folks really need to learn to manage their expectations...

A32NX works perfectly, not a single issue so far ( 1 hour flight) . Butter - smooth - experience @Ultra settings 

Are you running live weather?

I returned to the A32NX (Hadn't touched it in months) after SU5 and now performance is really good with decent settings. I have been having issues with excessive fuel burn and some really weird issues not being able to maintain cruise level.

I think I might give up my current flight and start again with a weather preset. Even after the hotfix tonight something isn't right. I was reading that people are saying live weather is still causing issues with the A320 NX
