@HiFlyer Thanks for the link. I will try that solution later when I have time.

No go on the update for me. In fact, I can no longer launch the sim at all. Mandatory update closes MSFS and opens the store, but when I click to update the sim there it throws an error every time including after a full restart of my PC. Under details all I get is error code 0x80073CF9. Submitted error data to MS feedback, but not expecting any help from them. Anyone else have any suggestions? Also, I emptied my community folder before attempting the update in case anyone is wondering.

Here's some. I spent several days trying to figure out why I was getting CTDs on short final when flying an RNAV approach into CYVR. I thought I found the culprit, but then the same issue occurred at CYLW and CYVK. Long story short, after many days of testing to narrow down which addon(s) were causing the issue, it turned out to be a single freeware airport - L35 Big Bear California. The issue was repeatable and completely cleared up when removing this freeware. This was surprising since the freeware airport is over 1000 NM from the airports where it was triggering the CTD. I also tested it in several different aircraft with the same outcome. This was not the first time a freeware airport has caused CTDs for me, but the previous time it only caused CTDs when flying in the immediate area.

Try emptying your community folder of all addons. If that fixes it you will need to add them back in sections until you narrow down the problem addon.

I've had lower performance and more stuttering in larger cities since the last update too.

Yep! I made about 4TB or scenery with Ortho4XP. I even replaced clouds with textures similar to the surrounding area on many tiles or I would swap in tiles with no clouds from a different provider and try to colour match them. Very tedious work to do manually. Glad MSFS as figured out a way to automate the process! It isn't perfect, but it is nice to just be able fly almost anywhere with this level of realism. Rather spend my time doing that!

In areas with significant cloud cover they replace the ortho images with generic landclass textures. The transition from ortho to landclass textures and back again is blended, but more noticeable in some areas than others. Overall it does a decent job. Ortho tiles containing just a few small clouds and/or wispy clouds are displayed as is.

Nice ones! All of them are very striking.

Guess it's April 1st in France!

Nice one!

Looking great!

Sadly, that already happened in February 2017, just over one year after the above jump was filmed. https://globalnews.ca/news/3219444/canadian-wingsuit-flyer-graham-dickinson-dies-during-base-jump-in-china/

Try emptying the community folder of all addons before doing anything drastic.

Suddenly having the same problem here. I thought it was because I updated to a newer version of Windows 10 yesterday. Reset all of my settings and keybindings, which takes a long time to get everything the way I want. Next restart everything is gone again. Very annoying. We should bombard Zendesk. Be sure to upvote the official thread https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/ui-broken-and-reset-user-settings

I would try turning off the fps limiter in NCP and turning vsync on and selecting 30fps in game. 30fps smooth and stutter free is better than trying to get 60 and having stutters. You should not have any stutters then providing you use settings that would consistently give you over 30 fps without vsync enabled.

Same here!

Odd. I have always had photogrammetry extend south and east of downtown Vancouver, even back in Alpha. It extends south to 16th Avenue (more in some locations) and east to Glen Drive. That is what I still see since the update. Are you seeing photogrammetry any further south or east than that?

This is certainly an issue since the last update, but he also mentioned getting a bluescreen with a full system restart. That sounds more like a hardware issue.

Getting back to the original test data, it would be interesting to compare the graphs for the same data using the default C172 in X-plane and and a good payware addon such as the A2A 172 in FSX/P3D. Not that that data is representative of everything that makes up the flight model, but it would be interesting all the same.

That type of flight really brings out the best in MSFS. Thanks for sharing.

The mountains do look sharper on my system. It looks like you are zoomed in a bit. The textures don't increase their LOD when you zoom in, so they will look blurrier. Also your terrain LOD setting will have an affect. Make sure it is at 200.

I had this same issue after trying to place an order that didn't complete when I had a problem entering the password. I tried every solution I could find on the official forum with no success. I then filed a support request on Zendesk. Initially they sent me a list of 3 steps from their FAQs to try and marked it solved. None of them worked. I messaged them back to say it wasn't resolved and after 4 days with no response opened another ticket. Eight days after I opened the first ticket (I was almost ready to try a reinstall), they responded and said they fixed it on their end by clearing the cancelled order from my account. The buy buttons where working again after that. My theory about their support is that your ticket will quickly get a canned response, but, if that doesn't work and you reopen it, it will take considerable time for it to get through the queue for individual attention. My advice to is contact support through Zendesk and be patient, as I think only they can fix it for you.

Maybe it's a new type of navigation aid :), Seriously though, I have never seen this myself.

My specs are lower than yours and I run a 29 inch 2560 x 1080 LG with the render scale slider in MSFS at 120 to 130 and get decent performance and visuals. At that render scale, I am pushing almost the same number of pixels as a 3440x1440 display. I would opt for the 3440x1440. If you are viewing it from the same distance as a my 29 inch monitor the extra pixels will make a noticeable difference. Your GPU will of course have to work harder than it would with the 2560x1080 monitor but still considerably less that it would with a 4K monitor.

Still learning this one myself. I did find this video helpful. Flight Simulator 2020 - Full MCDU/FMS Tutorial - Airbus A320neo | Full Flight With MCDU - YouTube
