September 25, 20223 yr I woke up far too early for a Sunday today, so I decided to jump in the Sim and simply fly with no planning or ages spent in the World Map trying to find somewhere (it's a bit like Netflix at times!). I just immediately picked Lausanne, headed South with no particular destination in mind and it's moments like this where this Sim can truly shine. You tend to forget the grievances, issues and schoolboy annoyances of Asobo and just enjoy the flight. This one started off in fairly overcast weather, got a bit sunnier as I crossed Lake Geneva and where I'd usually head SW and up through the valley into deepest Switzerland I decided to turn East and head towards Geneva instead (eventually landing at Lyon). Soon the clouds started to get thicker, spots of rain started to appear and it all looked magical, I'd probably turn the other way in real life but as we can't die in a horrible fiery death in this Sim I just carried on in sometimes near zero visibility conditions with blooming great mountains close by! The clouds looked great in VR and performance was generally very good bar a slowdown over Geneva with the busy traffic, all in all I had one of those flights where I just got "lost" in the moment for a good hour or so, simply bliss.(excuse the low res screenshots, they're taken with the OpenXR Toolkit and cropped to hide the VR mask, Clouds on ULTRA) Pico Neo3 Link VR - Windows 11 64bit, Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Elite Mobo, i7-10700KF CPU, Gigabyte RX 9070 XT OC 16gb (AMD GPU), 32gig Corsair 3600mhz RAM, SSD x2 + M.2 SSD 1tb x1 Saitek X45 HOTAS - Saitek Pro Rudder Pedals - Logitech Flight Yoke - Homemade 3 Button & 8-directional Joystick Box, SNES Controller (used as a Button Box - Additional USB Numpad (used as a Button Box)
