June 25, 20205 yr Solid update! I feel for testers for having to deal with those watermarks though - shame it had to come to that they look annoying.
June 25, 20205 yr I'm laughing myself dead! Microsoft statement months ago: Every single raindrop is calculated physically. First video, upper left corner, exactly the same raindrops appear again and again! Well, at least it looks good. But the statement seems fictitious.
June 25, 20205 yr Is that a solar eclipse in the last imagine?! I used to play around in fs2000 trying to get the 1999 eclipse to happen. 😂 Great to see the charts being included as well as Navdata. Navblue might sound like a new company but you should look up the history but parts have been around for quite a while in various forms. Edited June 25, 20205 yr by JohnH90

June 25, 20205 yr Interesting....though charts seemed like an extra purchase | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

That is not the same raindrops ive seen in other videos. Maybe they have some parts of it disabled in the alpha for some reason.
June 25, 20205 yr The watermarks don't bother me when I'm testing because there's so much eye candy to process 🙂. And good to hear we get access to the beta.

No way to know for sure but I would guess that there may be an extra charge in the for of a subscription for that service.

"Charts services post launch" Services meaning payment required hehe Which makes me wonder what will happen to Navigraph | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
June 25, 20205 yr These short clips like the rain take off above make the aircraft look like they are flying on a string sort of like all the Carenado stuff. This is in Alpha but something I have noticed and will be watching in the future clips.

Or it's disabled on certain graphics settings, or it was too performance intensive that they had to get rid of it. Edited June 25, 20205 yr by Tuskin38
June 25, 20205 yr It’s good to know we will have updated Nav data and charts included on the sim. Having everything working together out of the box is a really great improvement. 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
