OK, I know there have been problems for some people - I was getting the AI CTDs initially before the hotfix - but really, the raving about how MSFS has been 'destroyed' to fit on the XBox seems to have gone off in to a galaxy of its own. As far as I can see on my system, no major damage has been done to the visuals, plus I've been able to put my LODs back up to 500 and still get a boost in fps to let me run pretty much anywhere in full ultra at my fixed 30 fps.
Down where I like to be, at least, it's all looking pretty fine. A few just out of EGHA, Compton Abbas, to check things out.
I hope anybody who is having genuine issues manages to get them sorted, but meanwhile - this is certainly not a totally broken sim, by any measure.
