Hotfix 1.18.15.0 is now live!

[Stratocruiser1 134]

Mine must have been a Phantom Instant Hot Fix Update as I never saw that the program was installing it, but yesterday my version number was 1.18.4.0. Today it is 1..15.0 and I never saw it o the download/install.

The main page at the store shows apps that are part of Windows 10 by default, including things many people do not use like “solitaire collection”. Pressing “get updates” will update these default apps, but I have never seen that work to force an MSFS update.

Not sure what you see, but my experience is that I click the ellipses (three dots) at the top right in the main store screen, then the blue “Get Updates” button and it will find all available updates for all “modern applications” installed on my machine that the store knows about…including Flight Simulator every time.

Not sure if you changed some option, but mine are default and that’s been the behavior always.

The Hotfix worked for me. Autogen is fantastic, lighting has been fixed.  I updated my video driver and got another 5FPS.  Now 45 FPS on full Ultra. No CTD's (Only suffered them in SU5).  No stutters (except for sudden viewpoint changes). No blurries as experienced in SU5. Some popping but nothing too distracting. Look at the top two images and see how far the detail extends. And it didn't noticably pop either. In SUF 5 that would have been a blur. 

We all make mistakes and Asobo have done a good job of recovering from this one. Well done Asobo. Keep up the good work and remember there are a lot of us (I'd say most of us) who aren't down on you for this. Quite the contrary, we are well aware that if Rome wasn't built in a  day, then the world is going to take a heck of a lot longer 🙂 .

Good update for me too... Graphics is excellent, pop-in reduced and high altitude temp bug is fixed.

Still fighting with the ATC and the A320 autopilot but nothing game-breaking.

Great to see the graphics improved, and the performance is great as well. Well done Asobo

I am not so happy. ATC is still telling me to expedite to my assigned altitude when I am at my assigned altitude.

Have a great flight Richard.  Remember to check those FPS.:)

My mistake I thought your post was pre this latest small patch - I cant keep track anymore

Hi,

I have done two flights already after the 1.18.15.0 hotfix.

First one was alright, the second finish abruptly with a CTD!

Graphics ara better now, but you have to change to high or ultra every time you exit to the main menu.

And why would I want to install it? Ive updated MSFS in the MS Store since august 2020. I dont own an Xbox. 

X-Box is the name of Microsoft's entire gaming platform now, not just the console line.

You can also buy and download PC games/sims from that app.

At 5000 feet, altitude is still 500 feet off.
