Hier die gänzliche Changelog:

SIM UPDATE III is now available!
Some packages in your community folder may not have been updated and, as a result, may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behaviour.
Please move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title if you suffer from stability issues or long loading times.

NEW CONTENT

FSX legacy liveries available on appropriate planes : Kenmore, Emerald Gold, Global Freightways, Orbit, Pacifica and World Travel

Contrails are now displayed on the player's aircraft (MP and AI are not supported yet)

New customization menu in the World map to further adjust the aircraft to perfectly match specific real world aircraft. The changes only affect the next flight and they are not persistent.
- Empty CG position : We can now have a different empty CG position, just like real world aircraft that all may have slightly different empty balance.
- Wear : We can now increase the wear of the fuselage to get a slightly higher parasitic drag and simulate older aircraft.
- Control surface limits : We can now adjust the maximum angle limits for elevator, rudder and aileron control surfaces to simulate the slight difference that may exist between different real aircraft. Check Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) Information for real world aircraft control surface angle limit variation tolerance.

Ist das neu mit den Helicopter-Landeplätzen oder ist das ne Einstellungssache die ich ausversehen gewählt habe?Ständig ploppen Hubschrauberlandeplätze auf wie die Flugplätze oder Sehenswüärdigkeiten.
Ein Hinweis auf eine baldige Implementierung von Hubschraubern?

dstar · 10. März 2021

Hat irgendwer mit ner Pi den FS seit dem Update schon in VR starten können?
Ich hab beim Laden der Szenerie inzwischen den 6ten Komplettabsturz in Folge. Hab ja Zeit.... XD
---------------------------------------

Edit
Übeltäter gefunden, Dank der " Optimierungen" wird jetzt etwas verschärfter an der CPU genuckelt. 4 Kerne sind nun auch mit OC etwas knapp. Musste HT deaktivieren damit es überhaupt startet. (Ab dann komischerweise, gings auch mit) Belohnt wird man, wenn es dann läuft, mit einem zunehmend ruckelndem Sightseeing-Erlebnis, wo es vor dem Update noch flüssig lief.

Aber die Menüs sind jetzt wirklich gut lesbar, hust...

Hooky · 11. März 2021

seit dem update startet mein fs überhaupt nicht mehr, komm nich ma mehr ins startmenü , was da denn schon wieder los?

AndreasB · 12. März 2021

Ich bekomme seit dem Update die folgende Meldung, wenn ich in den VR Modus schalten will: "Ihre Grafikkarte entspricht nicht den Anforderungen für VR Kompatibilität. Bitte überprüfen Sie ihre Grafikkarte."
Hat doch alles vorher funktioniert und jetzt der Mist.
Grafikkarte: Radeon RX5700tx nitro+

Sashmigo · 12. März 2021

Bei mir funktioniert es aber sehr unrund.Ich spiele wireless über VD und SteamVR (weil ich über Kabel dauernd die Konektivität verlier da
die Steckverbindung nicht so toll hält).Ich gehe mal davon aus das SteamVR spinnt.Vielleicht mal SteamVR Beta/Standart wechseln .Ich kann das erst morgen testen

komisch · 12. März 2021

Ich habe das Update gestern installiert und kurz ausprobiert dabei ist mir kein Problem untergekommen.

Hooky · 12. März 2021

Bei mir gehts wieder, er hat mir das Update Fenster beim starten nicht angezeigt, hat da aber wohl noch was geladen. Nach dem Neustart gings wieder

Kurz... Du musst schon etwas Warten.

@komisch - so sieht das bei mir nach 10-15min aus. Mitten in der grünen Pampa, nix sonderlich bebaut.
Hier gerade so 20km vor Brighton Beach an der Küste. System kurz vorm Gähnen, Framerate hat die Wachphase bereits hinter sich...
CPU-Last springt plötzlich hoch und sorgt für warme Füsse, warum - das weiß der Geier.

dstar · 14. März 2021

Habe Post von Asobo bekommen..
Lösung des Problems (nach ihrer Meinung), ich soll den Level of Detail von 100 auf 80% drehen...

Okay, gleichmal Testen Ja, die Grafikkarte bleibt jetzt schön kühl.
