My biggest gripe with the A350 is definitely performance. I get up to 30 FPS more in the Fenix, depending on the circumstances. 

I just completed a flight from KLGA to KDCA. I did the RNAV 19 approach and was hoping that someone more knowledgable than me could explain what the FMA readouts mean (F-G/S and F-LOC). 

The aircraft seemed to want to fly the whole approach in NAV and managed descent mode, so once I was at DA, I just deactivated the autopilot before landing. 

And no - there aren't any suitable parking spots for the A350-900 at either of these airports 🙂 I just wanted to see how the aircraft would handle this flight (with FSHud ATC) - and in particular the RNAV approach. 

I also did a LOWI landing today and my performance was perfect. didn't have any issues.

Two hors later I was landing Fenix at SKBQ and had stutters at approach maybe 6-7nm before landing, I think it had something to do with msfs2024.

 

 

Hm none of the liveries I have downloaded from fsto are showing up for either model

 

Edit: Oh I guess all liveries need to be updated, not just the 900's

Thanks for the heads up. It might be a bit tricky to identify which of the liveries on .to are updated to work with 1.0.4.

The website does have the ability to say if it is, they did it with the Fenix v2. But it’s probably up to the site developers to add that option for the artists

Funny that this is the issue that stops you from paying the high price.

It should rather be that it plays in the same league as the big boys of study level system depth but only delivers basic system depth that simply does not accurately model system interdependencies and results of faults.

A lacking gear suspension is just a speck compared to the other issues that disqualify it as a high price add-on.

lack of realistic handling physics is "a speck" ?

The A350 was worth every penny I spent 

Just another performance comparison between the Fenix (to the left in the screenshot below) vs the ini 350 at MKStudios KLGA. Even though, in the screenshot below, avg FPS is 75 with the ini, performance tends to deteriorate after doing the cockpit preparation and while taxiing to the runway. 

I don't want to seem entitled or ungrateful since 60 FPS should be more than sufficient. It's not the total FPS - it's the stutters when operating the aircraft on the ground and in the air - and the huge performance difference compared to the Fenix.

That is the FSL.  basically the FMS creates its own localizer/glideslope "beams".  This is a NPA, so no autoland.

Can be used on most non-ILS approaches..to "activate it" two things need to be done apart from proper procedure loaded in the FMS:

1) LS pushbutton pressed

2) APPR pushbutton pressed

So in your image, somehow you must have pressed APPR, otherwise the FSL-modes would not be armed. However for this type of  RNAV approach, FSL is not suitable, as evidenced by the F-LOC being deflected full left and probably never close to being intercepted.

I understand that completely and see this exactly the same. 

On my end in MSFS2024, there are some severe sudden fps drops, when panning view in the cockpit. The moment at happening, its completely unclear what causes this. I assume not only the plane its node counts as an issue, but also IniBuilds performance heavy Dubai and london scenery for instance....when all the objects wich het into the view loaded in...

At Flightbeam KSFO this isn't so heavy the case. I tested it. But it is still noticable. Even at a stock TNCM it is happening in inis a350. 

Fenix has no issues. 

These severe drops in fps and hard stutters while panning view (HMD Headset) it's duration is very short....(2 seconds or so....then FPS recovers and panning is suddenly smooth again. 

Severe drops mean, 50 fps....down to 35....and recovering again to 50...

Or in VR....45 capped FPS...down to Varjos 30 capped FPS....and 2secs later back to 50 again.

This all disappeared for me when I disabled Ray Traced Shadows. I'm running a now outdated 3080 and 13900k. Worked for me, give it a try. I think theres a VRAM bug thats been identified in the ray traced shadow component, so see how you go.

I will try. Thanks for the heads up.

Well, I gave up using this kind of arguments to feed my "installer mindset" because I would stop using any flight simulator, well with the exception maybe of Aerowinx PSX... 

 

Wow that’s pretty damming and disappointing as he says he can do these things in any high fidelity aircraft available. 
 

you’re right need to stop worrying about this and just try to have fun.

 🙂 

FLS was activated (equal to Boeings 737 IAN ) which is an internal glidepath computed approach which can be used for VOR/LOC approaches without a Glidepath. Its a virtuel and nonepresicion approach because of that.

RNAV19 is just performed in manage and approach mode. You should see something like Finalapproach RNAV19 on the ND.

1.0.4 performance in MSFS2020 is a big update on my system.

12 hours without any issues

I tried the PMDG 777 in St. Barths and couldn't. I wonder what his settings are.

Exactly... I'm pretty sure these YT'ers trying to pull stunts like these have their setups contrived with various assistance settings enabled in order to do the unrealistic stuff. I couldn't either with the PMDG 777. If anyone is able to do these unrealistic landings with a PMDG 777 or Fenix A320 or other high fidelity aircraft, with no assistance settings enabled, then I'd like to know too.
