RELEASE NOTES 1.25.9.0

If you are playing on PC, some packages in your community folder may not have been updated and, as a result, may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behaviour.
Please move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title if you suffer from stability issues or long loading times.

General bugfix 1.25.9.0

Unfortunately, 4 weeks of beta testing (with two build updates) did not help us clearly identify some crashes related to operations on the world map when downloading packages or content in the background that have been released alongside Sim Update 9 (1.25.7.0). We are working to identify this gap in our beta testing and aim to better cover these cases moving forward. We thank you for your patience.

• Fixed various crashes on the world map
• Fixed crashes affecting airports that have a beacon but no runway (BIKF for example)
• Fixed simobject data request creation process preventing Flight sim gear peripherals from working
• Fixed a crash in vector placement during back to main menu
• Fixed LOD streaming in vector placement in the Scenery editor
• Fixed windshield flickering when the render scale is not set to 100%
• Fixed CGL updating loading order to ensure custom CGL files are loaded correctly
• Fixed ATC Azure TTS goes silent while in gameplay
• Fixed crashes about SimConnect message reception after being closed in WASM

I'm surprised they didn't do a public opt-in beta, like they did for the SU7 hotfix.  Anyways, here are the patch notes for 1.25.9.0:

And with this, I wonder if Fenix will announce the release of their A320, since Fenix was waiting for this hotfix to come out.

Uh, oh. 
Hope it doesn’t kill my evening hop in the 737.. 🤦‍♂️😅

I hope that this fix does not actually break any aircraft already released? like my 146 or 737

First update for me!  Hence the muppet question

Do you move the files from you community folder BEFORE you do the update?

I never did. And all fine. Officially I believe you are supposed to "empty" your community folder. Renaming usually helps. This shall avoid that any third party content may require an update and may cause MSFS to crash

I use AddOn Linker: https://flightsim.to/file/1572/msfs-addons-linker

AddOn Linker creates a virtual directory in your Community folder.  You can enable and disable add-ons in a one or two seconds.  You never have to move anything in or out of your Community folder, since AddOn Linker creates a virtual directory when you enable the add on (and removes the virtual directories when you disable the add ons).

Everyone that has multiple add-ons for MSFS should be using AddOn Linker, IMO.  With AddOn linker, you can quickly disable all your add-ons before running an update in MSFS.

I never do anything with my community addons before I update. I do use the addon linker, but I just keep them active. I never ran into any problems so far.

I have render scale at 100 and get windshield flicker though.

No VR toolbar fixes? After they broke it?!
