Anyone know if the massive FPS drops problem has been fixed?

I never had massive fps drops with SU3 but saw them go down a bit when flying the 350 or Fenix into airports like ini‘s EGLL. No so anymore. All fine. Happy camper. Note that YMMV. My LOD is set to around 100 only

  • Rather three months and a good SU3 than a rushed one and then more months until things get fixed in SU4

  • If I look outside the window I see that clouds have soft edges, so they always look a bit vague. Cumulonimbus clouds have sharper edges. This is now where I live : Imho people want edg

  • LOD management is improved. No more taxi signs popping in.

I’ve really lost track since I left the beta thing pre SU2. What changes will SU2 users most immediately notice once SU3 is released (assuming it doesn’t change much from current beta?)

Oh really?  Do you by chance have any of my repaints for the pc12 or pc24?  Could you see if they turn white when zooming out?

I left the beta long ago due to CTDs.

For folks using the latest SU3 betas, what are your overall opinions of live weather depiction and clouds? During earlier beta drivers there were reports of clouds sharpness going down a wee bit, is that still the case?
 

I'm not in the beta, but I have read a lot about clouds and also personally experimented with historical weather within an hour time period for probably 6 hours straight for a video. One thing that always seems consistent with live weather is you will never get the same results twice. The clouds are all procedurally generated. You can load a flight, close, load the flight again and have slightly different clouds. I'm pretty convinced that these reports about cloud sharpness or lack thereof are more related to the randomness of the clouds due to their procedural nature vs any actual modifications by Asobo on the back end. The folks who concentrate on "bad" clouds post the pics of bad clouds, and the folks impressed by "good" clouds post pics of good clouds. In reality there are both good and bad clouds in the sim, it's just the luck of the draw.

Oh yes indeedy. Looking back from the delights of just spending my days simming, sitting with cats, and generally getting in touch with my inner Winnie the Pooh I increasingly feel like my old working life is nothing to do with me - just some weird abberant false memory.

And from the sound of it SU3 might enhance it all even further.

I become a pensioner in 328 hours. This sounds wonderful 😃

Early days but is there any news on the VRAM usage?

Er, the problem I find with being retired is I never seem to have enough time! 

Goodness knows how I ever fitted in a full time job

I'm looking forward to it - only 2-3 years to go 🙂

Still getting the GPU Resource errors which I expected to still continue. It really feels like it just grabs all the VRAM, doesn't manage it well so as soon as the system tries to grab some VRAM I get the error.

I don't know what to reduce any more. With my 3060ti everything is on low except clouds which are at Medium.
