Just looking into the thermals and CDD visualizations. Quite impressive actually. The ambient temperature is only a few degrees celsius. It seems thermals are present in hillsides which are heated by the sun. Whereas in shade there's no thermals.

Yeah the thermal visualization is amazing and something I didn't see coming.

Funny that you ask, I was just playing with it and started doing some reading up on reflex. I can't see much difference myself so was going to ask what other people are getting.

Here's one link: Nvidia Reflex explained: how to get low latency with your GeForce GPU | PCGamesN

I can't see any difference either. Currently, I leave it off because MSFS isn't a low latency game imo. Additionally, every fps gain usually comes with a quality penalty. Perhaps, others know more about this new in-game setting and MSFS had a good reason to introduce it.

Is it safe to opt in the beta now ? After having read the CTD issues with the planes ?

It's never safe to opt in a beta. I'm having zero issues so far though 😁

Hi, 

I joined the last SU10 Beta Update and I had to leave it because I had many issues. 

But, what about this one? Is it worth it? How is it going?

Thank you in advance.

I haven't installed SU11 Beta but I did just receive a notification that SimFlea's GA Traffic has been updated with what would seem to be a fix for Generic AI liveries appearing on aircraft when using FSLTL.

Quote

Description:
New FSLTL default AI Traffic Fix:
This fix will prevent ALL default AI traffic and liveries from appearing in the sim, including generic AI, stock AI and even third-party AI aircraft. Offline GA Traffic will still appear in the sim as normal.

If you wish to use this fix (do NOT use it with Aerosoft’s Simple Traffic!) navigate to your Community folder and open the Offline GA Traffic folder. There are two folders inside: Original and FSLTL default AI fix.

Open the FSLTL default AI fix folder and copy the fs-base-ai-traffic folder to:
AppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbweLocalCachePackagesOfficialOneStore
Click on Overwrite when asked. If you wish to return to the default Ai Traffic, open the Original folder mentioned above and copy the fs-base-ai-traffic into the OneStore folder and overwrite the ‘fix’ folder and contents.

This looks fantastic. Can you feel a difference while you're flying?

It's looking like my problem is with combinations of add-ons causing CTD rather than individual addons themselves.
But I'm currently trying to work out what specific combinations are problematic.

IF I'm right in this assessment then if you don't use many add-on chances are you'll be just fine with the beta but it's more likely that you'll run into problems as you use more of them

It's no good for me. CTD on load unless in safe mode. Now comes the battle to get back to the non beta version.

I think it's great. Feels even more lifelike now. I did a few circuits with GA and it felt incredibly real.

It's some addon I have in my community folder. But I can't be doing with the endless task of finding out which.

EDIT: Bah! It's borked. Need to reinstall.
