Patch has fixed the 787 flight plan not loading into the computer :)

Side note, anyone know how to fix the transponder not working?

I get calls from the ATC but no idea how to fix it...

EDIT: Spoke too soon, had my first CTD and now the flight plan doesn't load anymore and autopilot not letting me select LNAV, back to where it was pre patch :(

had a few flights today in the 747. That thing is seriously broken. I was coming in on ILS approach and suddenly it decided to set airspeed to 250kts when I was at 1000 feet full flaps! Also the airspeed setting wouldn't change from mach to kts. All sorts of other weird stuff. Buggy as balls. A320 is in much better shape.

Sometimes this game is just stunning, when it's not ******* me off :P

Performance is noticeably worse for me in the latest patch. 2080 super with 9900k at 1440p high settings. Lots of stuttering and overall low fps. Cockpit seems worse than exterior views from what i can tell.

I'm not so interested in the 747 and A320 anyway, but I haven't touched them at all in FS2020. I've spent so much time flying the 737NGX and Zibo that I have no interest in flying a stock plane, especially one that's broken. For the first time I have really enjoyed fling GA though, especially in IFR which is now so much more possible.

Yeah funnily enough branching out into GA as a break from the broken 747 has been a new experience for me. I've really enjoyed the Bush trips and navigating by landmarks, and even IFR in some of the GA aircraft is totally doable now. I've noticed the little planes really get tossed about since the new patch which feels a lot more realistic. Landing on that big mesa airport from the training in the strong winds activity was nuts!

Anyone noticed a lot more pop in of trees since the patch? I was doing the Japan discovery flight and it was driving me nuts watching the trees and terrain mesh popping in practically below the aircraft

I haven't tried it yet but seen lots of people complaining about various graphical downgrades.

What are your settings like? Could be possible they adjusted down some of the presets for better performance?

Yeah tbh I haven't checked if they changed at all, but my performance is the same so it just feels like I got a downgrade for no extra performance. Don't get me wrong, it's still gorgeous, but not AS gorgeous when trees are springing up on the ground everywhere and you're at 2k feet so it's painfully distracting. I was in the beechcraft as well so not exactly a fast airplane or slow server loading. Just a tiny LOD
 
On the off chance I am being thick, is there a way to update/patch the game without starting it? Xbox app told me there was an update to flight sim about 600mb which I downloaded but then when I start it up theres a further 7ishGB required. Seems a bit naff to need to start it up to patch.
 
No the respective stores literally just deal with the launcher... so that 600mb update you mentioned was just to update the launcher itself.

The launcher is responsible for installing/updating the actual game files, so you have to open it in order to apply updates to the game itself.

Also worth noting that you then have to go into marketplace and download the Japan update separately which is a further 1.5ish gb on top of the sim update.

747 is proper broke. AP cannot track a straight line in cruise and on an ILS approach won’t hold APP mode just goes back to LNAV and starts to climb again. Then again the A320 is just plain broken.

A320 has been alright for me. Been the odd glitch here and there, but nothing anywhere near as bad as the 747

I completely forgot that there also a cockpit view :o
I haven't tried that view yet.
