**** Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Thread ****

Come here to moan about the patch as well. I've been sitting next to this PC all day today whilst working (as I am everyday) and could have patched it during my working hours. Damn. Guess I'll have to read a book :p
 
Been stuck at 42% for the last 20 minutes........

Edit - Had to restart to continue, sooo slooooow!!!

Have a 90MB connection and coming in about 4/5MB

Update process keeps stopping for me too, getting annoying as hell, this update process is so bad.

Agree, i wouldn't mind too much if you could turn off that drab music loop that constantly rings out whilst updating - Microsoft eh, Its like they know how to really grind your gears whilst dangling that beautiful carrot......
 
Patcher seems to be choking on certain files, going back to zero and needing multiple tries to grab and complete the download. Maybe the server just getting hammered or anything really.

In any event, mixed impressions from the feedback so far at Avsim, FS dot com and the Steam board from those who actually managed to install. Sounds like they broke as much as they fixed, performance has taken a hit, sensitivity has vanished from the Settings menu and the A320 now has one of the engines will only run at idle. Are Asobo a bunch of clowns, or what?

So the patch has made no difference to performance then ?

If you read the official FS2020 forum it seems to be a mixed story - some people getting nice FPS changes and less stutter, holding out until I can build a PC of a decent spec - by which time I hope MS have fixed what seems to be a lot of issues and even maybe optimised it a tad.

I know - its mad, I am (via help on this forum) in the middle of planning a PC upgrade to play this at something resembling high settings above 30 fps.
Clearly a 3080 is my starting point. Even this was running at 100% in a lot of this video. I wonder if we will be having Crysis like conversations about this 13 years from now !

I think the planned move to DX12 ultimate will really help - this game is crying out for the reduced draw calls, better multi threading and DX12 stuff like VRS, direct storage (or RTX IO if you like nvidia rebranding it), mesh shaders and sampler feedback.

The nice thing is they will more or less be forced to add these performance optimisations in order to get it to run acceptably on the the Xbox series X and series S - work that us PC users will directly benefit from. For once the consoles are going to help PC gaming!

I would expect to see this game performing significantly better on full DX12 capable hardware once they’ve made the move.
 
I'm happy with the patch, yeah its broken a couple of things but its fixed a lot of glaring issues! If they keep this rate of updates up it'll be a fantastic game in no time.
 
Appears to be smoother for me. Only did the landing challenge (735,609) and a quick take off and lap of the island then land at st maartens in an A320.
 
Update seems to have smoothed out performance very nicely for me (4790k @4.8, 1080ti 16Gb RAM 4K) although at the menu screen it now seems to freeze for a minute or two after loading (to the point where you think it’s hung) then works fine....

Going to need a bigger SSD for this very soon!
