Just finished. After inspecting the Official folder, EVERY package folder except three FS Base folders - CVT, Marketplace, and Videos - has been updated. So if you commented out your copilot, he/she will be back. The line "ATC Options should now correctly be saved" has me hopeful that I won't have to edit all of my ATC_ID lines again, but we'll see.
 
Japan is NOT included with the 1930 update! You'll need to go into the Marketplace and get it there. Just make sure you're logged in and click the "Buy and Download" option.
 
Lower Water Graphics?

Lower resolution water has been flagged by a number of observent people in the MS Forums. Looks like the water graphics has significatnly lower resolution, even on the high graphics setting something has definately changed when I compare to early screen shots. If true, and not a bug, ASOBO seems to be removing graphics quality in favor of fps. This would be unaccepable to me, a loss of visual fidelity. Clouds also seem to be slightly lower resolution rendering as well. Yes, I have confirmed all of my graphics settings are where they should be.

If this is Asobo's plan, I'll simply leave the sim.

My anti-aliasing seems worse and the water and ground looks like it's alive up close, freaky. Water looks worse, will have to investigate further.
 
Perhaps its just my old eyes, but I'm personally not seeing any degradation..

Figured out my problem and it was flying in 4k with my TV at 1920x1080, changed my resolution to 4k, same as sim and horrible anti-aliasing went away. Only thing I don't like is seeing the same water texture copied over and over, really noticeable.
 
Water effects and reflections add to the overall immersion of the sim just like clouds or landclass and everything else that makes up the landscape.
 
Throttle

Yes , and now my Throttle function is "defunct" after the patch , only full or zero amount ( Thustmaster Airbus ) :banghead:

Is the M2K conversion publicly available somewhere?

I would hardly call it a conversion, honestly. Just imported the FSX model into the new sim. It doesn't fly correctly. It's a very involved process converting everything into the new .cfg formats and I have no idea what I'm doing so that makes thing a bit more difficult.

But it looks great and the afterburner works. Also the vapor effects and most of the click spots work. Hoping to eventually get it to a state where I can at least take off, fly it and land even if it's not quite "by the book".

I've been following OzWookie's guide
