    & we remember them (my grandad, my dad) .... though we grow old but thank their legacy for today

    As some people have mentioned, the roadmap changed when SU 15 was delayed. If it's true that they are trying to release MSFS 2024 this fall (according to people saying Jorge "slipped up" in the Twitch Q&A a month ago and accidentally inferred the release data for MSFS 2024 was this fall), they are heading into crunch time for MSFS 2024 this summer, trying to polish it off, fix the bugs, and cram in the remaining features before it's released. They simply don't have time to do an SU 16 release in the summer, and release MSFS 2024 this fall, unless they are way ahead of schedule for what they want to do for MSFS 2024. But for a large software project involving hundreds of people, it's almost never on schedule. It's almost guaranteed that they are behind schedule, or probably barely struggling to keep to their schedule. That's the nature of software projects. Mind you, even for much smaller software projects, like all the planes that are released for MSFS, those are often delayed (ie. Randazzo thought the PMDG 737 could be released in 2020, and it was finally released in 2022). For larger software projects where hundreds of people are involved, it's almost guaranteed those projects fall behind, or the project lead and the end customer eventually decide to "cut" features so that they can stick to the schedule.

    Has anyone done a side-by-side comparison with Rex's Weather Force (which I currently use)?

    What worries me is that nothing is said or done about the servers used to eliminate the frustrating "insufficient bandwidth" message. These reports, with what I understand that, at least in my case, are appearing more and more during the hours where, depending on the geographical areas, there are more active users, are a limitation and IMHO, should be taken into greater consideration by professionals considering the importance of graphics in MSFS 2020.

    When you get to the create flight screen go into addon scenery and remove the X form the addon`s you mention, use a default aircraft and test. if the this stops the CTD add them back one at a time to try and track to the problem. PS GPU drivers no longer support windows 7/8/8.1.

    From the official blurb - We anticipate being clear for a release by around 11am (UK time) tomorrow morning and then the Marketplace release should follow much later in the day.
  9. bobcat999
    Really? That will be a first then. Maybe they are doing it the other way around and releasing on Just Flight when they know it will be going on the marketplace. I prefer JF anyway. We get the loyalty points for the same price!

    Technically, they don't need to really store data for live weather. They can just retrieve the data live from the provider. But yes, they would need to interpolate if they wanted to save storage space, to store historical weather data. And also reduce the frequency that the data is stored, such as 6 hours in your suggestion, to further reduce storage space.

    Duplicate deleted.

    Due to the MS / Asobo screening process and update cycle, the marketplace is normally a few weeks behind unfortunately. They are looking to speed it up.
  13. St Mawgan
    They have said it should be on the Marketplace today.

    Data every minute sounds a bit extreme. They don't even do that with live weather, do they? And this is where plausability vs accuracy comes into play. Having plausible historic weather for up to one year in the past would be good enough for me. They could only take and archive 4 worldwide snapshots per day (so every six hours) and interpolate between them. That would already provide plausible weather for the date and time and would be a lot better than being limited to just one day.
  15. bobcat999
    I agree they should do more hotfixes anyway. This routine of bundling it all up and waiting until everything is perfect isn't the best way to do it. I wish they would concentrate on specific issues one by one, and release the fix when it is ready, then move on to the next one. I am talking about bug fixes here, not new features, which is probably what the sim Updates (SU's) should be truly for.

    I think this is just the cockpit wear and tear which I actually like the look of and not the glass but I'll report back. Edit - Nope, it's the glass as well as the interior. I'd like clean glass with a worn interior so I'll try and work out which files are which. Or I could just live with circles, albeit 8K circles.

    I only know those exists as I had a look over the manual yesterday :) As JetCat mentioned earlier I definitely like the sophisticated modelling of things like the Garmin radios, looking forward to getting a chance to fly this when I finish work Now just need to persuade JF to add the open source KLN90 as a GPS option :)

    Both Nvidia and AMD no longer make drivers for W7 .8. 8.1. They stopped some time ago you may get an old driver on the Nvidia web site, but you may have a problem in the sim as developers use the latest software and drivers. That`s why a reply to a problem from them, are you using the latest drivers and updates. Windows 10 will get the same in the future,

    might get it - do you know if it will come to the market place today or just their website?
  20. St Mawgan
    Thank you, I didn't know there was an option until now. I'll install them.
  21. Grindathotte
    Precisely, and I can fly forever (not that I have tried) as the battery charge goes up rather than down.
  22. abrams_tank
    Probably storage for all that data. For example, do they have to store MeteoBlue data every minute, for every location around the world? Then you add in the METAR data they have to store. Since you are storing for the entire world for 24 hours for every minute, that's a lot of data. If they decrease the frequecy of storing from 1 minute to 10 seconds, that increases the data six fold. If they store for 180 days, thst increases the data by a factor of 180. I don't know the frequency that the MeteoBlue data runs, but I can imagine if you to store that data for the most discrete location that data covers, for the entire world, that could be a lot of storage space. Then there may be restrictions from MeteoBlue on how long their data can be stored.

    Do the optional clean cockpit textures do anything to clean up the windows ?
  25. G-RFRY
    Upcoming AMD RDNA 4 GPUs May Continue Using 18 Gbps GDDR6 Memory, Reports Suggest (guru3d.com) Not competing with Nvidia on performance for gaming more price maybe. AMD like Nivida are competing in the AI GPU market.

    She's a marvel. And quite heavy for such a small thing. Feels like I'm actually flying. Just as slow as you would expect. Slower even. I could do without the trademark Just Flight circular window scratches but other than that, a real work of art.

    I just snaffled it. I used up some loyalty points as well. Yes, even on my old slow landline connection it was quite fast.
  29. bobcat999
    Because I am talking about 2020 and all of the previous (nearly) 4 years. I accept the team may have grown since. However, like you, I am looking forward to MSFS2024, to which I am sure, most people are now working on.
