LOL...you literally just duplicated my post for the most part.

Mods:  Feel free to merge one of ours.  Doesn't matter to me.

Nice! Looking forward to the airport fixes

Stability and performance. That's what matters the most.

The complaints are massive in their forum. Glad they have a swift course of action. We'll see if this update actually FIXES things.

Fixing the borked mouse freelook would be nice….

If you mean the mouse freelook and joystick analog stick freelook conflicting (meaning only the analog stick works and mouse freelook doesn't), you can put in a very small deadzone into the analog stick sensitivity, this will make both options work at the same time.

Wow!

And they have sold it ready to use. If they had sold it in beta, we would be designing the software.

I got the mouse freelook working, but the issue is that unlike 2020 the panning speed is tied to the speed of the keyboard movement. This means you either end up with a hyperactive mouse that gives you a seizure and acceptably fast keyboard movement, or turn it to minimum and have a controllable mouse but then mouse movement that takes a century to translate from one side of the flight deck to another.

Looks like they already changed something in the cloud, cause I always had low fps and after a couple of minutes they were tanking from 30 to 10 or less. Then since yesterday evening, I'm getting higer framerate and more stable around 30/40fps. Lets see what happens with new patch later!

I don't think the mentioned 1.2.8 has been roled out yet.

I have no idea why. Didnt change anything on my pc, but before yesterday it was impossible to fly cause of fps tanking after couple of minutes. Now it works.

Mistery of cloud software!

They can make some back end changes that don't require a client update.

Or, you got lucky. 🙂

No that will be a launcher update through MS Store or steam. 
 

what they still can do though is change settings on the server side ie in the cloud
