PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X users are massively complaining about crashes, freezes, and avionics issues. After the update, heavy passenger aircraft became almost unusable for flights due to constant system disconnections. PC players also report incorrect VRAM operation.
The number of complaints on the official forum was so large that Asobo Studio had to issue a statement. The developers announced that they are preparing an urgent patch for consoles. Overnight, the team also released a beta version of update 5.1 for testing on PC and consoles.
"In response to the stability and avionics issues on Xbox and PS5 that appeared after Sim Update 5, we have prepared a new update (1.7.28.0) which will be available starting today on all platforms.
We are actively investigating memory and avionics issues affecting Xbox and PS5. (...) Instead of an immediate public release of the update, we decided to first release it in the beta channel to get community feedback and ensure that the reported issues are indeed resolved."
