Su12

Hi All

I did my usual pre-Upgrade admin ("xxCommunity" and cleared cache".

So far not noticed any issues and the load time does seem to have improved.

Anyone else got any post upgrade blues at all?

After some serious waiting to get startet at all - the update was smooth sailing! - 5h from top to bottom incl Marketplace stuff on a 100Mb line.

Just - altough I took the improvement mods out of the Community folder I'm still looking on the original DC-3 - i.e. no Beacon, Landing Lights in wrong order etc.....

Will double check with the community folder again tonight.

Downloading now - running at roughly 10%/min, although I'm probably jinxing myself...

Edit... I'm watching the Official\OneStore folder while everything comes in. In the past, the sim downloaded one piece, decompressed that, then moved on. It looks to be downloading several pieces before decompressing them.

Done!

1709 Start - 4.12 GB
1720 Finished - sim launching

1722 Content manager - 8.23 GB
1755 Finished

D/l total 12.25 GB

Final tally is 375 new/updated folders totaling 131 GB of new content with today's timestamp.

Question - what kind of compression are they using!?!? That's a nearly 16:1 ratio!

SU12 / DC-3 Update

ok - so here we are: The DC-3 shows everything that should have been fixed

- The community folder has nothing left that goes for the Dak

- The CONTENT MANAGER says UPDATE AVAILABLE = 0

- THE DC-3 ENHANCED is som 6,1GB and VER 0.1.0
-> anything else is on 1.0.11

What keeps me away from deleting it is the fact that the Douglas DC-3 folder (Ver1.0.11) only has around 1.6GB.
So the better part of my DC-3 installation seems to be inside the enhanced folder !?

May I ask what's going on?

For me, the Content Manager uploads were only 53 and went by without a snag. But it took me nearly three hours to download Version 21 of the SDK and all of its documents and samples. Isn't .msi a wonderful thing? Snicker, snicker!

What???? 131 GB of new storage required just to install SU12??? Good thing I just put in a 2TB SSD the other day on the second slot.... Good grief.

It's not all new - most of it is updated. That's how much has today's date, but it's certainly not all new. In fact, about 2/3 of that is updated content from the Content Manager updates. Don't worry, the sim isn't doubling in size.

Edit: Taking a closer look at the folder names with today's date, I don't see anything that jumps out as new. There's a bunch of stuff updated, but generally, SU's don't add much if anything. They just modify the existing stuff. That's why dev's dread them - they're the ones that break 3rd party stuff.

 

[Cazzie]

To top off all else, I had 55 updates at Flightsim.to! Yes, luckily I have a Premium account and got the ones I wanted. Some were lesser desired and I had already deleted the old file from MSFS.

Since the update, when I start a flight it puts me holding short of the runway engine running and announcing takeoff on the radio. I always choose to start from a ramp parking spot. If I stop the flight and start again I start at the parking spot as normal. I have searched the options menu to see if it is some type of feature added with the new update that must be un selected. I am wondering if anyone else has this happening

 

[grunau_baby]

Must have been a server and bing maps issue, as for today everything is running fine again.

Only things I seem to notice are some bing texture flickering and missing autogen close to some scenery addons.

I quite like the turbulence option.

@ joe bob,

I did see a thread over on the AVSIM forum this morning about this very same issue.

A lot of people are getting this, including me. It's not a new bug, but seems more prevalent since SU12. One solution is to select the parking spot twice, which is three mouse clicks - select, unselect, select again.

 

[joe bob]

Thanks Paul, I will give that a try

Good lol. I was gonna say.
