Just a few days ago, the long-awaited Sim Update 5 was released. Make sure to check out our news post over here. Additionally, Microsoft will release a hotfix for PC and Xbox tomorrow at 8 am PT (1500 UTC). For many users, the update brought the hoped-for and promised performance boost. On some PC systems, users were able to boost up to 100% or even more FPS, significantly increasing their gaming experience. However, there are also indications that the patch brings problems such as more frequent crashes and poorer visuals. Users complain that visuals have suffered massively - objects are said to fade, pop in and pop out too quickly when zooming out, and some users complain about a "downgrade" in graphics in general. Although stuttering has been fixed for most users, for some users the sim keeps randomly crashing, making it unplayable.
Microsoft has published a whole list of known issues with Sim Update 5. A hotfix will be live tomorrow, July 30th, at 8 am PT (1500 UTC) to download on both PC and Xbox Series X|S consoles. On the official Microsoft Flight Simulator forums, dozens of users are raging about the problems associated with Sim Update 5. Some want to see a connection with the Xbox release, speaking of a "Xbox-ification of Sim Update 5". But it's not just PC players who are frustrated; the VR experience is also said to have suffered since Sim Update 5. Now we have to wait and see how the whole thing develops.
There are also some compatibility issues with sceneries and liveries that have been shared on Flightsim.to. Some creators have already updated their files to fix these issues. We are already working on a system to show the compatibility status of an add-on for the current game version. Until then, make sure you have removed add-ons whose developers have not yet updated them.
If you are experiencing crashes, here is what helped other users most:
The team has been working on some bugs in the meantime, you can find the changelogs here, they sound promising.
