    Hello Gang! I just purchased it and took it for a quick spin around KTKI, where the weather this morning is windy and overcast. The aircraft looks really good - well made. The cockpit is identical to the DA-42 except that it sports one engine instead of two; so, if you are familiar with the DA-42, you will know exactly what to do with this one. Never flown a DA-50 in real life, but the aircraft handling feels right. She flies good. I need to do more testing but so far, so good.

    There have been a few vids posted on YouTube for this aircraft. The first one I watched was a "first look" from Jonathan Beckett: The aircraft looked reasonably good (with a few warts in the modelling) and I think I'll take a punt and buy this one. At least I'll be able to compare it to the XP12 version of this same aircraft by Aerobask. There are also some videos posted by Q8Pilot and A330Driver which I haven't had a chance to watch yet: and

    Another crash for the same flight, with NOAA weather off, I'll try new profile tomorrow then... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UKDEgeND1m5iWhpHUBNB4oHrajm5-ARE/view?usp=sharing

    That is not entirely correct. While it is true that MSFS does not use all cores equally, it is multithreaded and more optimised for multiple cores than its predecessors. With the 8-16 cores we have today most are being used too little but it is not easy to divide all the work among all cores. It is like an orchestra; you can't just add another instrument without changing the music score and while violins can share the work amongst them, the soprano part can only be sung by a single person. Adding a 2nd soprano would not get you the same result and they might fight each other instead of work together. At the same time, you can have only one conductor (the Main Thread) who needs to be able to instruct all the players and hear the result. You cannot just keep expanding the orchestra with more players/singers/instruments because if his workload becomes too high the concert gets limited by the Main Thread.

    Sorry for the quick (again) update. But I think it’s worth another download to jump to version 1.2 with a 100% animated Wind Tee in addition to the 100% orange windsock! Download for PC for free at https://flightsim.to/file/67811/placerville-airport-kpvf

    I only got the CC option and Cash app (which isn't supported in my country). But maybe Gpay has been added in the meantime. I'll check it out!

    Got it, that makes sense. Thanks for elaborating.

    Lovely! looks like a bunch of ducklings following mama down to the water.

    Ahh! TWA - associations with Howard Hughes, Convair 880s and all sorts of things. Fascinating intro and lovely set of shots there P_7878. I've always liked most of the TWA designs, and doesn't Lil Chubby look great in that outfit? As a famous philosopher once said - "could it be any better?"

    I noticed an old post of someone searching for a quality mission. I too am in search of them. Let me recommend a little known site, FSXMissionsHangar.com, which has MANY quality missions. Additionally it contains many hints and tutorials on the subject of "mission building". It's pretty much devoted to FSX as we wait for the Mission SDK from ASOBO for FS2020. FYI I recently posted a new mission here entitled UA328, designed around the actual flight wherre an engine was lost on takeoff. The plane ultimately circled around and landed safely wiith all fuel, passengers and cargo... an extraordinary achievement. Check it out and see how you do.

    I know and I agree Noel. It still doesn’t change the fact that overnight the sim was reduced in several important aspects to enable Asobo to shoehorn the sim into the Xbox S. Something fundamental was done to the LOD at this time that no amount of sliders has been able to rectify.

    In the US with live weather I frequently was in the clouds even at FL360... Absolutely something that was there with default weather. Landed in Newark yesterday and Metar indicated -RA but the rain didn't start until 10 minutes after I landed when I got to the gate. I'll have to check my transition times with the latest build...

    This seems to be a v1.01 version of the manual, looking on the flightsimulator forum, newer ones seem to exist.

    1. Both those counters show frame rate before frame generation. 2. I would not expect windowed/full-screen to make the big difference you’re seeing. 3. In absolute numbers, your frame rate looks low, looking at your specs compared with what’s on your screen (you don’t seem to be showing any of the major performance killers like a major hub airport, nearby big city, lots of air and other traffic). 4. Just to establish a baseline, maybe try starting a flight at EGLL stand 512, no traffic, and report back what performance you’re seeing while you’re still at the gate? Even better if you have the inibuilds EGLL.

    When I bought it, I also got an option to pay with GPay. In some countries, IIUC, GPay can in turn be linked to a PayPal account, so this might be an option too.

    Hi there! I have a whole bunch of World-of-ai flight plans installed. I come across alot of planes that would be cool to have but not sure how to add them without the use of the world-of-ai installer. Is there a way I can do this? Any help would be very much appreciated. Lee

    ⦁ Connect to P2A ⦁ File the same flight plan you’ve been flying ⦁ Set Com radio to the nearest Center Controller, assuming your en-route ⦁ Make initial call – “Center, <CallSign> at <Current Altitude>” Center will give you a squawk code and ATC Communications should resume, possibly with several calls, depending on where you are in the plan.

    I am not sure if the built in windows FPS counter I use can capture frame generated FPS. I have included 2 x screenshots below to show windowed mode FPS and full screen FPS, using both the built in windows FPS counter (i.e. press Windows key and G then select Performance button) and the dev mode FPS counter within MSFS. Not sure what is going on here. I tried the Nvidia overlay as another FPS comparison but the FPS using the overlay display just displays N/A all the time. Maybe a freeware FPS counter such as Fraps or similar may shed more light on the 'real'/actual FPS I am getting? Windowed Full screen

    If I wanna fire guns in a gamey environment I go play War Thunder, that's fab. MSFS doesn't need rubber bullets and wooden bombs, it's a civilian flight Sim with the potential to include other civilian modes of transportation in the future, it don't need no guns!
  26. Noel
    And yet, w/o doing this to make the sim more accessible to Xbox users, we wouldn't have ANY MSFS. It's pays one to not forget why this was done. And most importantly: it demonstrates Asobo knows full well HOW to create better clouds. Hardware capabilities continue to improve and for our sakes I hope we don't have to wait until 2028 when next gen Xbox arrives to see some major improvement in cloud depiction. Because of the Xbox factor I'm not super hopeful as 2028 is a ways off. But, only Asobo knows at this point what they might get away with and it's possible sliders can be used for those who can management more processing demand. Could be the multithreading enhancements will give them a little more room to play with.

    I frequently requested to have an option to let Basic voices use only English voices but well, they didn't listen. Given the rather huge amount of complaints about it now they might listen after all. There is only so much a single beta tester can accomplish LOL The same goes for better button control (a toggle for the UI for instance): asked for it all the time, saying upcoming customers really would want it but again... no luck. I am sort of 'happy' to see quite a few of my ignored beta suggestions are now asked for by the paying customers. 😉 BTW Tip for those who don't have a credit card (like myself): on Discord a few guys have been able to buy BATC using the Wise app on their phones. Create an account, put money on it using your bank account and then use the app to purchase BATC. Not sure of how it works in detail but I will give it a try this evening (if the dev hasn't offered another payment option by then). Yeah, despite it all I am going to buy it LOL!

    That depends when you control the AI you can also cheat with the speeds and separation. In real life that is not possible.
