Local Historical Disgrace for the world updates?
109Sqn replied to Fielder's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Unfair!๐ถ The RAF may have flown it, but it's a US ordered, designed and built aircraft.๐ A better offering (and in the spirit of Asobo often giving us planes with limited production runs), I submit the Supermarine Nighthawk. From the company that gave us the Spitfire came this brute in WWI, which took an hour to reach 10000 feet, it was that low on power! Only one built, unsurprisingly.- 1 reply

FSPS Friction Tool - Anyone tried this?
supercoup replied to threexgreen's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
I used the program, It worked rather well. The whole problem I have is that I had not known at the time of purchase but after every 6 or 7 times of offline use, you have to go online and renew the activation, which is very troublesome. Plus the fact that I use it in an actual Flight Simulator running off 4 computers and do not connect to the internet unless there is an up date to a program which is very rare. They say all you need do every time is insert the serial# and email address but that rarely works. Im just not going to use it. i fly in fsx and the default 737-800. I hear that FSUIPC may have something that would work, im gonna get into that. Frictionality is a good program but the activation system is rediculous. -
Informative article. Highlights that 2x16GB can offer better performance than 4x16GB. More is not always better. As for the amount of RAM MSFS really needs, to say it has to have a minimum of 32GB or 64GB is also not so clear-cut. If you feed Windows and/or MSFS with a ton of memory, it will use it more โfrivolouslyโ from time to time because it is there for it to use. Does MSFS need more than 32GB in extreme cases? No. It will run perfectly with 16GB if thatโs all you give it. The same with vRAM, MSFS might use more than 16GB if you feed it a RTX4090 with 24GB vRAM but it will run just as well with 16GB vRAM. Windows will just manage and use what it is given. Some 4090 owners say they have seen their vRAM exceed 16GB in the sim, justifying its value. In that exact same scenario a 16GB GPU would perform with the exact same performance and have some GB free as Windows and GPU are simply able to be less strict on how it manages memory when it has it in bucketloads.

I totally agree! Toooo many airbuses. I can't believe they would hold up a SU because of an airbus, when we have several already. To hold up the SU is holding up other releases from some really cool developers, which I really don't think is fair, especially to those of us who can't stand the airbuses (boeing pilot here, sorry). I want the DUKE, not an Airbus!!!๐

Doesn't do it for me, shouldn't have to, when previously full screen could be saved in settings.

Seems a nice system! What are the specs of the MSI motherboard? Does it have PCIe5 support to help with future proofing? The only thing I would change (purely a personal opinion) is the monitor. I donโt think a single wide view monitor works particularly well in the sim. A conventional 6:9 ratio 32 inch 4K gives you a far better field of view at a natural eye-view angle to zoom ratio. A wide view gives great left right perspective, if a little distorted on the periphery, but rather poor up-down view unless you zoom out but then the angles are unnatural and distorted. There are some YouTube videos that highlight/demonstrate what I am saying here. A monitor should simulate your real world vision. Humans are not bug-eyed.๐

I think for commercial flights you're to enter your flight number, like 345 so that ATC refers to you as Ryanair 345.

Quite agree. I don't think CS will be the least bit worried by my mine or anyone else's negativity toward their products or marketing approach. Ably assisted by the MS market place, CS appear to be targeting and quite successfully reaching a newer cadre of simmers who have a different perspective of flight simulation. That cadre specifically enjoy three dimensional freedom of movement across a a globally accurate and diverse scenery and landscape while often using an external POV and/or connected with multiplayer. To this end, they require control simplicity and 'external POV friendly' flight models that don't require too much attention to keep flying and, the 'prettier' the better . Complexity, 'study level' and true to life flight models that require handling skills, are not much use. As you allude to, earlier flight simulators were not blessed with the visuals and activities of MSFS and so I suspect those most interested in the pursuit of flight simulation did so from a more technical perspective. For better or worse MSFS has really turned that upside down. As the old adage goes, and with out referring to one perspective or the other, "one mans rubbish, is another mans treasure"! Of course it is not binary and there is lots in between. Fortunately our developers to continue to amaze all of us with their offerings.

Yes, it seems that with all the delays to SU15, the roadmap has changed and SU16 has been pushed to next year. SU15 is basically the end of the line for 2020.

If using RGB fans, can be useful for controlling RGB on all fans (matching or synchronous colours) assuming the rear fan hub is an RGB one. It does help keep the front side neater. Downside is that all the fans connected to it are usually controlled as one. That means you cannot set individual fan speed curves for those fans. If plugged into separate headers on the m/board you have more control. Thatโs because the UEFI BIOS sees the rear fan hub as a single fan, Also nothing wrong with using the rear hub for some fans and the front board connectors for others. Always a good idea to connect CPU and water pump fans to their dedicated front side connectors regardless.

Lots to see and explore before the sun goes down. -

Nvidia frame GEN possible screen bug?
ca_metal replied to alexgorider's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I think it can be the hacking software, because the native frame generator (for the 4000 series) doesnโt do that. -
Thanks for supporting CS, pmplayer...Sad that they have fallen into this state of disrespect... I have fond memories of their glory days, as you too mention FSX...I was spending considerable times on their forum at one point...was part of their gradual (stepwise) releases of 737 Legacy Series... Their 727/737/707/757/767 were SIMs of great fun and miss them much...hope they bring those back to us in the MSFS...within our lifetimes...๐...we'll see...

FSHud Performance Latest Beta Build
tup61 replied to threexgreen's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I kind of like to be surprised by FSHud with the STAR and approach assignment but yes, being able to see it in the interface for whenever I want to would be a cool feature! Even though FSHud usually is always on time with the assignment. (I also like the timely announcement of the approach, including transition: not something every ATC addon does.) -

Hi all, came from Belfast here and from the island to the coast and a little south to Lancaster. Before I could land it I had to interrupt because of real life. There are some people in real life who are absolutely not interested in flight simulation, I cannot understand that...๐ Thank you very much for viewing! Cheers Andreas

20 miles of Bliss in the English Channel...
P_7878 replied to P_7878's topic in The AVSIM Screen Shots Forum
Thank you, Andreas. That sounds great. Even the default MSFS has done quite a good job around here...same on the mainland, I think...at least around Land's End....will post a set of pictures from there...Yes, Heli is great to explore these tiny island groups...
