SU 5: The best and worst version so far

I've noticed it's mainly those who post their latest hardware specs in their bio too who seem to feel the most entitled and quite frankly not happy about all of the rest of us actually enjoying the sim and its improved performance. 

Man let them complain all they want. Life is too short and if it's one thing the pandemic has proven that. Some of these guys are 80+ years old, you'd think they aged gracefully and mellowed out and try to enjoy the remainder of their years. Instead they are on avsim carrying on about this and that.

There might be a classist element to it by looking down on others on consoles and less powerful PCs.

@styckxI guess people have difference tolerances/sensitivity to that sort of thing because it seems okay to me in that video. Yes I can see the distant popping on pan, but I don't think it will result in the end of all human life as know it (despite what several threads on Avsim might have you believe)

Well it didn't do that before Su5..That is what people are complaining about. 

 

 

 

@Bobsk8Yes, but before SU5 it wasn't a smooth. It's a tradeoff. ASOBO said as much. Apparently one a vocal minority are not happy about.

yes, isnt it funny..the richer the more spoilt they seem.

i find this a good update , yes some issues, but i can run again with photogrammtry on and its smooth, treelod fixed too.

i am happy, i dont see the popup some people complain about probably only visible on highest settings.

If you fly the PMDG DC6, and look at the gauges in the cockpit, pre and post Su5 downgrade, you will notice a much lower resolution look to the gauges, and the lettering on the panels in the VC. Guess that is one of the ways they got more FPS. Probably will look OK on an X box S

You have some pictures to compare? I don't even know what you mean with "much lower resolution look", it looks the same to me.

How can I have pictures to compare, Su4 is toast now, I am stuck with SU5.

How can you not see it? I finally installed this awful update and the videos weren't lying. Specs in sig, 1GB internet.  This is atrociously awful.  I recorded this myself over Philadelphia. Full screen it and enjoy popcorn popping every time you pan the camera. ENTIRE BRIDGES POP IN.

How does ANYONE find this acceptable? 

This is the very definition of "It's not a bug, it' a feature"

Putting MSFS to bed for awhile. This is simply unacceptable lunacy. 

 

🙏🙏🙏 Spot on! 

I'll pass thanks Bob, read enough of that on Avsim 🤣 Many of whom seem not have actually used the thing for any length of time yet, just moaning based on other people's videos. Maybe I will join them, maybe i won't, we'll see what awaits me when I arrive home 😱

I just posted an image showing my tree LOD unchanged, so I'm confused why I see that but you say the tree LOD is fixed.  My update was smooth plus I have update all files in the marketplace.

I' also confused with your comment ' isnt it funny..the richer the more spoilt they seem'.  I have a problem with tree lod that you don't so I'll ask about it. I'm glad the update for you is positive, but why is somebody spoilt in some way because their update has issues?

This is a copy and paste from the Admin at PMDG DC6 forum regarding poor resolution of VC textures after update. 

 

"Unfortunately currently nothing can be done about the lower resolution in the VC. This is due to Asobo changes on how they handle the textures. We have inquired them but have not yet received any answer if this is fixable."
 
So I guess one way to get a few more FPS, is to lower the texture resolution in the cockpit.....

Thanks, that sucks a lot. Still, I didn't notice it.

I couldn't care less if you read it or not.
