Umberto, is this something that can be fixed by the user if they had Fast WASM compilation on?

You can try this:

- Enable DevMode, then start a flight, or enable it when you are already in flight.

- From the DevMode menu, be sure "Enable Fast WASM compilation" is DISABLED

- EXIT from the sim.

- Remove this folder, if your MSFS is from MS Store:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\microsoft-aircraft-a310-300

or this one, if you are on Steam:

%APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulato\packages\microsoft-aircraft-a310-300

- Restart the sim, it will recompile the WASM code with Fast compilation Disabled. Now you can disable DevMode, if you don't use it.

Have you done this? Did it work?

None has worked unfortunately, still no DLLs being compiled 😕 and still shows DEBUG. I wonder, where does MSFS compile those intermediate DLLs (for fast WASM compilation), maybe somewhere else apart from the Roaming folder? What I am puzzled, it seems that doesn't affect everyone.

I think the best to wait for iniBuild, pretty sure they will find the solution as now we know what has caused the problem at the first place.

That's weird.

In fact, I tried it now, and no .DLL is being compiled after clearing the Localstate folder, but DevMode's WASM Debug window indicates it's a RELEASE build however, no .DLL is there, meaning the sim is likely running the WASM intermediate code, instead of the native x86 .DLL.

The airplane loaded quite quickly, not taking many minutes, like other planes with WASM after an update.

Just tried the 310 for the first time and I seem to be one of the lucky ones. No FPS issues. It felt similar or even slightly smother than the Fenix (in VR).

Then you get to the whole debate maybe Fenix/PMDG should just do this basic radar or map weather overlay so there it something rather than nothing altogether. 

fenix/pmdg being serious developers opted to do nothing rather than offering a misrepresentation of what a Wx radar really is, just for the sake of putting some colorful bands on the ND. In practical terms, this kind of "radar" is not only useless but may be quite misleading as well.

Same, it performs just as smooth and optimized as any other default Asobo aircraft for me.

My first takeoff was pretty scary though, tried to hand fly it up to 10k feet just to get a feel for the airframe handling and whoa!!! I felt the air playing tug of war with this big bird.

I was bracing the yoke the whole time trying to keep the wings leveled and quickly engaged the autopilot.😅

I would say this thing is certainly more complex than a "fly on rails" feeling.

We can pretty much throw that phrase out at this point, the new aerodynamics/physics with these later Asobo updates ensure you feel the airframe's mass and inertia for sure!!!!😅

I seem to be one of the happy ones. Stellar performance; no less than Fenix. This is an aircraft I most definitely will use often. It feels really good hand flying, sounds and textures are great (using the extra from the marketplace). Properly impressed by getting this quality for free.

Did an 8.5 hour flight getting screen smears again but I think that is the PG server getting hammered but anyways all went well loving the plane reminds me of the LvL D 763 back in the day.

Can you guys look in this folder and see if your plane compiled correctly? @Swe_Richard @blueshark747@Shack95
 

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\microsoft-aircraft-a310-300

 

it should look like this:

Just arrived in KSFO. I am in love with this beauty. 

[Swe_Richard 1,175]

Hmm.. oddly enough that folder is empry apart from the 'work' subdirectory.
