May 10, 20215 yr Yeah yeah, I know, but I think sliced bread is an abomination. Anyway, this is what it's all about for me. I hope all the tubeliner guys out there eventually get what they want out of this sim too, but for me it's already close to perfect. Sitting in front of a big 40 inch screen at 4k and looking at scenes like this I swear I can actually feel the sunshine and smell that woodland!

May 11, 20215 yr When it works, it can indeed look great 🙂 Still have P3D installed for when everything has to work.. Bert

Only around the TE regions, but I still enjoy lots of things about it. I've got some nice aircraft for that and I really like Traffic Global with it. But I'll probably never buy another addon for it now. 3 hours ago, Bert Pieke said: When it works, it can indeed look great 🙂 Still have P3D installed for when everything has to work.. Hi Bert, I've also still got P3D (v3/4/5) on my system, but I don't use them now. I never liked the way the tiles in the landscape worked, what with random edges of built up areas and such. It can look pretty good, until you look closely, and I mostly like to fly pretty close to the ground. Plus I still find it incredibly jerky and full of stutters, even in v5 with a Titan card. I'm thinking I might create a completely clean instal of V5 at some point, and just run the True Earth stuff on it, because as with XP I have a massive hangar full of aircraft I do miss. If they ever get it to run smoothly, maybe if and when v6 or whenever, I might investigate again. But for now, I've got the whole world to explore in MSFS.

May 12, 20215 yr I agree with you that it is "crusty." As in hard on the teeth. 😀 For the type of RW simulation that I do, nothing can touch XP 11. It will take years for MSFS to get there, but at least you get to enjoy your investment now. Congrats! MSFS

It will take years for MSFS to get there, but at least you get to enjoy your investment now. Congrats! There is a small part of me that would love to get in to the (sim) cockpit of something like a jumbo and be able to work through all the stuff properly and get a flight going. But so far, it's all more mumbo-jumbo than jumbo to me. I keep telling myself that I really must settle down and get to grips with learning a bit more about it, but then I get distracted and head off sightseeing again. Maybe one day. Meanwhile, I will admit to going for the odd "ctrl-e" type flight in the 747-200 or maybe -400 in XP. That works quite well for me. Hope it all comes good for you sooner rather than later.
