August 8, 20178 yr So I finally bought FSW this evening and whilst I agree it needs tons of improvement and work to be done, for the first time ever in a simulator I can honestly say I felt like I was flying above real clouds. I was running the sim in 4K and over the Colorado Rockies and was blown away by the lighting of the clouds and the level volume they had. Pretty awesome stuff if DTG can continue to quickly build on it. Here is what I witnessed...(ignore the terrible landing...I just wanted to show the graphics and turn off 4K recording to save my disk space so ended the flight as quick as possible with an insane landing :))
August 8, 20178 yr Nice share. Thanks. I think FSW has a ton of promise to be a contender in both the introductory/training sim space, and as an entertaining serious sim. [email protected] | 32gb RAM | EVGA GTX1080 8gb | Mostly P3Dv5 (also IL2:BoX, DCS, XP11)

August 8, 20178 yr That would have been one of my better landings Brave to try it in those conditions too. Thanks for sharing.

Haha...one of the major bugs of the TrueSKY implementation is that when a cloud or fog covers the airport, you cannot at all see the runway until you are literally on top of it. So I was flying blind using the GPS to guide me

August 9, 20178 yr Did you get all the updates and TrueSky, when you downloaded the FSW program? Or, do you have to add all updates manually?

Good stuff...and thank you for the response. Having a blast tweaking and twacking...and flying in some REAL nasty weather, touch and go's....again, having a blast! ATC is not happy with me....LOLOLOLOL! Mitch
August 9, 20178 yr I watched the pro mission stream on twitch and Criss said there's an FSW update coming this week no clue as to what !. Ray Fry. Raymond Fry.

August 9, 20178 yr I did spy the dev doing the pro mission video an SDK folder in his sim, I suspect myself that it will be tweaks and fixes in the update but they may surprise us again. Ray Fry. Raymond Fry.

Ray Fry. What did you see? Just a SDK folder? I mean, they have an SDK since the beggining, but it´s not public, to me this SDK folder doesn´t mean much. Anyways, I would be really happy if they deliver more than minor fixes. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel
