LVFR is most certainly changing their spots, and in a good way! The a380-800 Elevated is getting continuous updates and bug fixes and is now PS5 certified. This video shows off some recent updates. More details in the video description. Blue skies, -B

My take is that this is largely a self-inflicted, unforced error on the part of Synaptic. The announcement of the now required “toolbox” was just a day before release of the upgrade. Also the toolbox was incompatible with current version so you could not preinstall in anticipation of the upgrade and the upgrade required the toolbox, so if your system is in anyway not working with the toolbox its not working with the upgraded a220-300. Add to that the app owner is (or was) traveling and unavailable. Taken together you had all the ingredients for a perfect storm. Which we got. On Friday afternoon the “upgrade” was rolled back and that is the current state today. My take only. YMMV. TANSTAAFL. Blue skies, -B

Not sure and not by my hand. An way to check? -B

INIBUILDS Have Issued Rollback on iniManager, -B

Is anyone else seeing a reduction in frames under this hotfix? My avg frames have dropped about 20%. (100 FPS at Gate to about 80). TIA, -B

It’s a “Friday” update exclusive to inimanager. Conceptually this would appear on MP next week. -B

You got here first, I had to LoL!

Just updated on inimanager, -B

Not phony at all. Released yesterday in response to a known issue with Art and Shadowing that was an outcome of SU7. Fenix waited until SU7 Final was dropped before making this small update. Nothing to see here folks. All good, -B

I was the same as of this morning. What I had to do was unenroll from beta and then used XBOX App to “Update” my instance. About ten min later it was all done and I am flying SU7 Final now. YMMV. TANSTAAFL. Blue skies, -B

Good question, -B

What are you on about, “shady business model”. Who? Asobo? MS? IniBuilds? Who? I suggest you quit while ahead and go back to sitting on your hands. -B

Unusable is hyperbole, though I agree it would have been better to be ID’d and fixed during beta. You may choose to sit on your hands and declare, Unflyable! I will chose to say, balderdash and keep flying Service Update 7. Blue skies, -B
