Then you didn't look carefully. 

No I just don't waste time worrying about that stuff and adapt quickly to change, if it does bug you just get star dock start and revert back to an older style start menu or stay with windows 10

Doesn't bug me, because I don't  install stuff that is a step backwards from what I already have,

The World Map airport history function was supposed to be fixed, but does not seem to be working for me. Or maybe I don't understand what has to happen for the departure and destination airport history to be recorded. For example, do you have to actually finish a flight, or is just loading the a/c onto the departure runway sufficient?

Thx,

Al

Only managed a quick test flight but save the departure airport just fine for me. Didn’t complete a flight so can’t comment on destination airport.

Anybody else having issues with the flight stuck loading at 100%? Seems to only happen in very dense areas like NYC/LA. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the server outages.

I had the same problem trying to take off from London city EGLC. Reloaded the sim tried Coventry EGBE everything okay.

Your Output color depth needs to be 10 bpc or higher (you will not see an option in the dropdown if your monitor/TV doesn't support 10 bpc or higher).  The better TV's/Monitors will actually save the adjustments when going in and out of HDR mode.

Thanks Rob for some reason I cant pick anything else in control panel I use to have more options - just updated video driver also - I think its in tv settings - Sony menu system is garbage 😞 Ill dig some more

Hi Rob:

Changed Sony 4 HDMI external settings to advanced in tv to get 10 bpc which it stated it can do - also I do have the Ycbr choices but nothing above 8 bpc

This 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV with HDR supports 4K 60p 4:2:0 10 bit, 4:4:4, 4:2:2 without issues

Was waiting to see if it was just me, guess not.

Same for me. 

More stutters and lower performance overall.

Same settings as before update.

My Samsung TV only shows 8 bit in Nvidia control panel, but HDR 10 works without issues in both Windows and the sim. 

The 3 requirements are HDMI input range set to extended /advanced on the TV, HDR set in Windows and HDR set in the sim. 

I also discovered that if you set the graphics card to report its output as 'Gaming' in Nvidia control panel, it will trigger the auto game mode (ALLM) on TVs that support it.

Things will straighten out once Mrs. Slocombe finds her p.. on second thought, I’d better not go there!

I come home all excited to download and check this thing out and the servers are hosed even more than they were during the day. Sigh.

Thanks for the report.

I just completed a short flight and still the departure and destination airports don't show up in the World Map History list. Is there something I need to do to activate this feature?

A related question, my History lists seem to be fixed at 3 airports each. Does the size of these lists adjust assuming History is working?

And does anyone know where the airport history info is stored?

Thx,

Al

I figured it out Rob this tv cant run these settings at 60hz and running it at 30hz is a slide show moving mouse around so ill pass on this - new LG 42" tv is coming next year thats suppose to be amazing for gaming - ill get that - I think its going to run at 120hz

Thanks for help Guys and sorry to hijack this post
