Nothing to see here. At every update, I look for a sign that they have reversed things like the terrible LOD changes since SU4 (probably never going to happen) and corrected simple regressions like the POI overexposed night lighting issue (again) - Is it really that hard when they know how to do it as they corrected it once before? I have barely flown since SU4, and it is getting to the stage where I have almost given up now. Looking back, I probably spent too much time on it and invested in it too much. I can see I allocated too much importance to it. I have found there are other more useful and satisfying things that hold my attention now rather than this, and I have saved hundreds a month by not buying addons, and it shows on my credit card balance, so not all bad. Thanks Asobo!

For those that don't want to sit all through the video, the synopsis is... She doesn't like the training lock-in and does not like to pay for things she doesn't want. She thinks it is a mediocre aircraft in isolation, and she will not fly it again. Some people don't like her style, but she has been around for a while, and I trust her opinion.

No, just something with the sensibility of a poorly developed AI bot I think. Anyway. The grass is beautiful in the sim today! I will think of something else to say tomorrow to support this wonderful life-changing sim with faults we must simply all overlook and not talk about in case we hurt its feelings. I mean, look at the pretty colours man!

You come across as quite insulting for no reason, which makes me wonder if you are feeling alright. I tend to respond in kind to rude people anyway. He answered somebody else's question perfectly, not the one you had in your head. If you really don't understand the difference, then...

This is EXACTLY how I feel. Seb's 'lecture' on LODs is not what we needed - he needs to listen to the problem. His surprise at the wheels issue, and especially saying it is a 'per aircraft' thing again, proves they are disconnected in some ways. Disappointing.

I have always said the sim needs a little more Polish. 🙃

I really don't think Ryan meant it that way. I had to work all through as well, and harder as you say while others were isolating, but I didn't take his generalised remark as a slight in any way.

. That's another side affect of the Asobo LOD adjustments. I get this with lots of scenery / ground objects, and it is also what causes the missing wheel problems, and I believe linked to the slow rendering in the cockpit when going from inside to external view then back again, when the sim choses to flush the previous rendering and build up the cockpit from lower LODs again. I never had any of these issues during SU3, I was loving the sim. They started at SU4 for me when they made the 'optimisations'. 🙄 I might phrase a question for the Q&A, but then my last one on the DX12 ground tiles going missing was pushed of by Martial saying 'well it's a big world to cover'. This caused a riot in the live text, causing Jorg to intervene and asking Martial to maybe take another look at the issue. It was fixed at next update, after a 14 months of asking, Jorg is a great champion of the sim and the only one I have any respect for on these Q&A sessions. I wouldn't pay the other character in chocolate buttons!

Any way of stopping forum access to the one line bots that continually spout nonsense? 🙄 It kind of dilutes the conversation to a farce. But maybe that is their point. Maybe I try a block for the first time. I wouldn't be missing anything useful. 🙂

It can say 'too many requests' but I tried it a while later and I got in. Probably being bombarded by requests for that page at the moment. I have tried the drivers. As expected, no discernible difference. I never had the flickering problem as I missed the dodgy driver that caused them.

If you do a google search for 'Nvidia 616.86' it will take you to the Nvidia 616.86 hotfix driver download page.

Yep, I hate these throw-away comments. It is a core bug in the sim and Asobo need to fix it. In any case, it shouldn't happen on any setting. If people want to run with waves at medium they should be able to without having to deal with this word not allowed. Yet another core sim issue that Asobo drag their feet fixing. Still, if you read the SU6 bug fix list, they do seem to fix a couple of hundred issues that nobody seems to have, care about, or even understand.

Maybe BBD might be open to some feedback on the tree sizes. That would be good.

Unfortunately I don't think there is a way. They need to adjust it. It is yet another one of the basic things they simply cannot get right.

Yep - how frustrating. At this point I really just wish Asobo would pass this over to people who are competent at version / quality control. Five years later, same old issues. 🙄 I really wish Working Title could take on the updates to the core sim, maybe with an enlarged team. They would knock it out of the ground I think. Everything they do has detail and quality written all over it.
