It just happened to me again, with the latest update and with Fsrealistic disabled. Screens off, engines off, but the internal and external lights on, and the plane is losing altitude.

Hi, First off, I appreciate the hard work of both the Synaptic and Inibuilds teams on this project The extent to which you both reply to inquiries and follow up with updates is amazing!🙌🏽 The A220, while an absolutely gorgeous and cool aircraft still suffers from some critical bugs on 1.0.4 on Xbox. I am using Xbox series X, with no addons except aircraft/airports, and during A220 testing I have been flying out of default non-handcrafted airports. Performance Framerate in single digits during flight, which makes handflying - takeoff and landing near impossible. This performance degradation happens from turning the DUs on, and gets progressively worse throughout a flight. At the end of the flight the sim also looks like Star Fox 64 because of the workload. Bugs Changelog for .3 noted new navdata cycle to be bundled is 2503, however its still 2410 as of 1.0.4. It is not possible to update navdata at all in the databases page. (Clicking Load new databases yields no result/empty screen) This was tested in .3 and .4 with several resets of navigraph in between. Lastly, which is pretty central to console users: The aircraft doesn’t communicate with the default MSFS ATC - in any way. Not only can you not hear the ATC, but you can not interact with it in any way either. The same goes for the AI copilot if you have this enabled. (Responding, setting squawk etc). This is the only form of ATC console users have.

no. i use Fs realistic and Chase Plane

Hi. For sure this new B707 is so much better than the previous AH's one. Nothing to compare. I'm quite satisfied about it and understand, the B707 is my favorite plane ever since more than 40 years in real life, no more plane is more important for me than this one. I was waiting so much for a descent B707 in flight simulator since day one back in 1984. But my first and only criteria for a jetliner is the sound set. While the interior sound is really pleasant to hear, the external one is really OFF of a real 707 and do not justice to this iconic plane with a really particular and unique sound. I hope Inidbuilds will try to make something better about it. One other point to be change is the cabin lighting. Wow, at night it looks like a luxurious Emirates plane, too much lights. I give you a 8/10 stars for this replica of the B707. André

Thanks for the reply. My active SimBrief version is 2503. I have also posted this issue on Discord and provided a temporary solution for users, but the solution I found is unstable. My current version is 1.0.4. This bug is still there.

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that troubleshooting method did not work. I do have another method if you're willing to try: Open the MSFS options menu from the main screen. Go to General Options and select Experimental at the bottom. Turn the Package Reorder Tool to ON. Open the new reorder window to view your installed scenery packages. Use the arrow keys to adjust the priority list so that higher-level packages load correctly over background layers. Let me know if that helps. Thanks!

Hi, You need to authenticate Navigraph in the settings tab of the tablet. Once that is done, follow the steps indicated on that tutorial, but at the top, select LOAD NEW DATABASES.

Hi Kyle, I've tried this solution, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I still have pink objects in my scenery.

Sorry to bother again. Regarding the navigraph data base, I can not update it on Xbox. I watched the tutorial (https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/37236-how-to-update-navdata/) but as it seems there should be a option to authenticate the FMS with the navigraph account. And this option does not show up in my case. Hence, there is no new data base to download and then upload in the FMS. At the moment I am stuck with the old navigraph data base which is not ideal. Is this a know bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Allan, Firstly, you have an amazing family if they’re gifting you products like this to enjoy!

I’ve made a note of your concerns regarding performance issues on Xbox and will pass them along to the team for further consideration. In the meantime, keep an eye on our usual social channels for any announcements regarding upcoming updates. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback!

Good afternoon! I've just purchased the A340. A really nice and complex product. I'm using an Xbox Series X to sim. I've done two long-haul flights: PANC > ENSB and SAWH > FACT. No issues at all, no screen blackouts, everything working flawlessly. However, I've noticed the aircraft could use some better optimization for the console. At any airport where I start with the A340, I see the ground textures simply lose sharpness almost as if the console's memory is running out and the Xbox is entering some kind of "possible emergency mode" to keep the sim from crashing. To be sure, I ran other tests with much lighter aircraft, and this doesn't happen at all. External textures aren't affected. I fully understand that the console is limited and has less memory, but if it's available on the Marketplace, it should run as well as possible. That said, here's my question: Could you give a bit more attention to overall aircraft optimization? Maybe an option to not load the passenger cabin, lighter textures, or something in the code itself that could help improve overall sim performance. I've seen a lot of people bashing the aircraft with WASM issues and whatnot, but surprisingly I've had none of that on long flights even when using complex FMGS features like OFFSET, ABEAM, etc. Please, in a future update, give the console a bit more love when it comes to overall product optimization. It's such a bummer to see such a beautiful aircraft against a blurry, undefined ground. Other than that, congrats on the product. I got it as a Father's Day gift from my daughter!

Okay, thanks! I’m currently in the sim and was able to reproduce the issue mentioned above. I closed the Windows prompt, relaunched the map server, and everything is now working as intended. Very odd, but I appreciate your help with troubleshooting this! Thanks again!

I tried it with both, always the same error. Currently on the Website download

Hi, I’m just doing some additional troubleshooting on my end. Could you confirm where you downloaded the map server from—the Synaptic website or the iniBuilds Manager? Thanks!

Thanks for the honest response and for taking the time to reply! I completely understand that a paid A320neo upgrade is not currently part of the development plans, especially considering that the aircraft was originally developed as a contracted build for Microsoft. I’m just glad that you’re willing to pass the suggestion along to the team. I really enjoy the A320neo and would love to see it receive a major evolution someday, even if that’s something for much further down the road. Thanks again for considering the idea! ✈️

Thanks!

Hi, Very interesting information! I’ll definitely pass this along to the Synaptic team for further investigation. I believe there is a known issue affecting AMD GPUs, although I’m not sure if this particular issue is related. Hopefully, the team will be able to determine whether there is a connection. Thanks for providing the additional information!

created already a topic about this(twice) never got an answer. I know they have been busy thats why I tried my luck here. Also this only happens with my current AMD Driver 24.12.1. Tried with newer ones, there it is working but newer ones are highly unstable with a lot of DXGI ERROR HUNGs...

Hi, Sorry to hear that didn’t resolve the issue. I’ve just tested this on my system and I’m not experiencing any issues on my end. If you’re able to join the Synaptic Discord, they may be able to provide further support and troubleshooting assistance. Thanks!

Hi, You are absolutely correct. There is currently an ongoing issue with the default MSFS NAVDATA, and I apologize for not catching this earlier. Hopefully, you’ll see a noticeable performance improvement with v1.0.4! Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

Hi Kyle, thanks, I will have a look in the Discord. I figured out if using the old navigraph data base the uplink works. Maybe this is a issue mit the updated default database together with simbrief. But at least this works for now. Let´s see how performance will be ..

Thanks for the answer! Unfortunatly doesnt help :/

Hi, I’ve also experienced this issue. In my case, closing the windows prompt and then reopening the map-server resolved the problem. Let me know if this helps! Thanks!

Hi, Very sorry to hear that. If you’re able to join the Synaptic Discord, they may be able to provide further assistance and troubleshooting. Thanks!

When selecting terrain the map server crashes with this error
