Yes. I never understood why it did that. You would think that would have been fixed in the first update. SMH.

It is this attitude that kinda turns me off to BATC. Their Discord is pure mean at times.

I played it and it was the smoothest release so far. Things are looking good.

Got it through MS Store, as usuual. RELEASE NOTES Sim Update 5 Beta - 1.7.16.0 Stability & Performance Fixed Model Instance being potentially destroyed upon a Build Package while reloading active LODs (could crash the sim when building the package of the currently used aircraft) General Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where the mission steps panel and the discovery objective panel could be truncated after switching between full screen and windowed using the ALT+ENTER shortcut Fixed text in logbook that was not correctly translated Aircraft The PERFORMANCE_DATA section of the flight_model.cfg has been moved to the flight_performance.cfg file. It will still be loaded from the flight_model.cfg if it is missing from the flight_performance.cfg to ensure backwards compatibility. Boeing 737 MAX 8 Fixed an issue where the flight director could sometimes command the wrong pitch/bank angle immediately after turning the flight director on or when activating a flight director mode when no mode was previously active. Adjusted FLC mode to more closely adjust for target speed. Fixed an issue where the FMC message TAKEOFF SPEEDS DELETED could be shown in flight. Improved Glideslope tracking to reduce pitch oscillations. Improved autothrottle response and tracking in SPD target modes. Improved autothrottle tracking accuracy in thrust target modes. Fixed an error during automatic PERF INIT when the plane spawns in the air. Aircraft Core Systems Added VarSet capabilities for Hydraulic and Pneumatic valves’ target positions, to replace their respective malfunctionning Key Events. Simvars are: HYDRAULIC_VALVE_TARGET_POS and PNEUMATICS_VALVE_TARGET_STATUS ModelBehaviors: To reflect this change, new “EX1” parameters have been added to functions “ASOBO_Hydraulic_Valve_Parameters” and “ASOBO_Pneumatics_Valve_Parameters” that uses proper simvars to set the targets positions of valves. Glass Cockpits G1000 NXI Fixed an issue where the flight director could sometimes command the wrong pitch/bank angle immediately after turning the flight director on.

We have fixed and reactivated it. It wasblocking some traffic add-ons. Traffic that can be in “sleeping” state for various reasons, will now be ignored by the traffic conflict system to avoid lock ups. Various traffic behavior improvements when taxiing onto the runway and taking off. Fixed an issue that had Live Traffic planes spin when holdingshort. Traffic will now have NAV and TAXI lights on during daytime also. Virtual Reality Fixed loss of inputs sometimes occurring when launching the Preflight training in VR Fixed an issue that caused the Yoke/Collective highlight not to be active in VR on some aircraft.

Fixed invalid vertex normal on skinned meshes.

Just another antique. Wish they would give us something with modern avionics and nav systems. Oh well.

Isn't it from the same company that took lots of pre-orders and never delivered the product, then kinda offered refunds, then went out of business, then had a public argument amongst the owners, then came back in business?

I have a 3080Ti. How do I get Nvidia frame gen working on it? All I have is FSR as an option. Thanks,

OK. Thanks !!

How does this help? Does it speed game loading? The author never really states the benefits of it.

Don't it just rebuild it at sim startup?

It does not. I don't think it will ever be good. Even the pay to play ATC add-ons are poor, IMO.

It downloaded and installed fine (via MS Store). Flew my ususal 45 min test flight and it flew fine and everything worked as expected. No CTD. ATC is still silly.

RELEASE NOTES Sim Update 4 Beta - 1.6.25.0 If you are playing on PC, outdated packages in your community folder may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behavior.

Yes. A hundred times yes !

I gave mine up. With the improved EFB in 2024 and the fact that I gave up tubes, It is not worth it anymore, to me anyway. If MSFS goes subscription, I am done with it.
