@AKATheSkay @OliverJia1014 The newest microsoft flight simulator takes data and ***ets dynamically from servers. It allows the game to have an amazing scale, but once it stop being profitable the servers definitely goes down, and i’m not sure if they even thought about what to do a out that

@MSFSofficial PLEASE for the love of simming, FIX this terrible mulitplayer experience - Paris goes to a whopping 2fps on an RTX 3080, i9-9****, fiber optic network connection. Ridiculous! (video is poor due to HDR) https://t.co/j9Pdvxi5F5

@MSFSofficial I'd do this but my simulator is broken from the wasm issues. Hopefully we'll see a quick patch of the issue...

More broken stuff in Microsoft Flight Simulator - when returning from the "Pause" menu all aircraft controls/axes, flaps etc "may" get set to 50%. Also WASM code modules used by flight sim ****pit hardware cause CTDs as of latest patch.

@MSFSofficial Thanks for the update, but you need to work on the updater/downloader (or just use Steam).
Yesterday's problem: I removed the USB soundcard (Bluetooth audio-only ****le) while the update was downloading and the downloader crashed. Other programs just switch to internal soundcard.

@MSFSofficial Well, the game crashes after the last update. Yes, FSUIPC installed like many. Didn't you test this?
Fix performance, CTDs, airports not according to charts, incorrect ILS positions and I would be happy. Now it's just very disappointing what the state of the game is.
