  • Yes, I fly IFR.   Happy with regressions? No, but I keep in mind the obvious complexity of all the moving parts in this project, and I give Asobo and friends credit for bringing us the

Another thing that I miss from FS20, is that they should separate the real live weather and don´t tied to the hour of that day without option

IIRC You can do that by selecting the live weather option in the weather preset screen, don’t use the live switch in the regular weather screen

There's a freeware addon that does just that at flightsim.to

Name or link please? All I have been able to find is a tool that removes all ground services.

No, default Heathrow with the default ini A320 v2.

IniBuilds EGLL is a better performer than Gaya's default but even with the bells and whistles turned off and standard textures it is still less than smooth.

I'm in 4K and I see 17 to 18GB VRAM with Ultra settings and around 15.5 to 16.5GB with high settings.

I feel this is higher VRAM usage than the previous beta and GPU goes upto 99% usage when panning, which reduces FPS to 30 until GPU settles back to 70-80% usage, at which time FPS recovers.

I use FG and my monitor is 60Hz, so with V-sync enabled in NVidia control panel, I normally sit at 60FPS.

I have traffic quality, aircraft and passive aircraft off and use FSLTL with 50% settings.

Hey Bunchy. Did you ever get your 2024 copy of the X?  Curious, that’s all.

Yes, I need to go to the Custom tab page haha, and then select Live Weather option that is there, and the weather no more change with the 24 hours history, thanks thanks, and I have the hour that I want with the actual Real Live weather, thanks, I didn´t know that option was possible and there.

It was added in SU2, it wasn’t clearly explained in the notes

Yeah ive been using live weather with altered time this entire time in MSFS24 due to the pain in the rear it is to load in Sim Brief historical weather... its very possible.
