    Config / flaps 3?

    Get a RTX4070ti Super. Best bang for buck right now IMO -B

    Yes it’s only on takeoff and landing however I’m not close to stalling. Flying at calculated speeds on final approach etc. and actually, IRL the opposite would be the case near the stall (aircraft will become less sensitive!). Ian

    I'm confused. What in that video is a step change from what we already have with default weather? I saw nothing that made me want to buy it. Need a bit more than that to convince me why i need it.
  6. JYW
    Yes.

    I wasn't talking about the City Update, I was talking about the updates I had in the content manager.

    This is what I'm most looking forward to. Not interested in the added PG for the area but a nice, custom Friedrichshafen.. yes please.
  9. Christopher Low
    The handcrafted airport is EDNY Friedrichshafen.

    Following this discussion on the sideline, I’m amazed how knowledgeable people are about weather. Maybe I’ve been blissfully word not allowed of the default weather shortcomings - certainly I can’t remember the METAR transition in SU5? that keeps coming up. Perhaps things would be different if I had an active PPL license.
  11. JYW
    Hahah, I had completely forgotten about that.. what a blast from the past 😆

    Twin Pegasuses? Pegusi?..oh whatever, tell ground crew to break out the super-muffler ear defenders

    A very good description, and similar to what I experience with REX. Rex, and ActiveSky from your description very gradually transition from high clouds to low as the front is approached. The benefit is showing far more realist layers of clouds as the front is approached.

    Been experimenting over the last few days, bottlenecking the CPU with as much AI traffic as it can handle (FSLTL+FSHud). It can handle a fair bit, but I prefer not doing so, as this ruins my FTV-Nirvana. So I’m pretty sure I’ll return to flat frametime graph and less traffic. I’m an addict, lol I did some tests yesterday with FG off and native around 30-35 - it was not bad, but it’s tricky since I’ve gotten used to 60. Smoothness is the same though as the system is just as much mainthread-limited. Just doing a short hop from Heathrow to Schiphol. I’m fairly sure that’ll be the nail in the coffin for the excessive AI traffic experiments.

    Burning Blue Design were once SIM720?

    There are a some things to clarify here. 1. MSFS has a local weather model, so different weather can be seen in different directions. However, as many have pointed out, the MSFS world contains mostly variations of cumulus clouds. If your top priority is a local weather model, and you are not too concerned about cloud depiction, MSFS live weather is for you. 2. Addon weather, like Rex Weatherforce, uses a global weather model. However, it depicts more realistic cloud types than default live weather. If cloud realism is your main goal, use the addon. 3. Global weather addon 'transitions'. I think some people are assuming with a global weather addon you are in one weather type then immediately into the next one. These days this is far from the truth - I guess because the developers have discovered new tricks to accomplish the transition. From the description of ActiveSky so far, Rex transitions the weather in a similar way. The clouds change very slowly from one area to the next. So although you may not see cumulus on the horizon, Rex will put in almost invisible cumulus. You head returns to the cockpit, but when it looks outside again, the cumulus are a little more visible and bigger (they will also change shape and new cloud types introduced if req). This process continues until the new weather area is completely visible. the effect gives the impression of flying into a new area over time with clouds appearing to change/grow at a realistic speed. 4. Weather addons with a global model CAN and DO show weather in different directions. For example when using Rex, I took off from Glasgow (EGPF) under a layer of stratus. Looking to the north I could clearly see cumulus growing over the mountains and into the stratus with very dark bottoms - clearly it was raining under those clouds. It took me 10 minutes to get to those clouds and into the rain. Visibility dropped as you would expect. Although not a true local model, Rex can show different weather in different directions. It is quite possible to see cloud and rain in one direction and blue sky in the other. Only the developers can say what extra data they have found in MSFS to accomplish far better transitions than in the past, but if transitions are holding you back, and cloud realism is more important to you than a true local weather model, then transitions shouldn't be a barrier to trying products like Rex or the soon to be released ActiveSky. You may not be 100% onboard with the local weather model, but the extra cloud types you see may be preferred.

    You won't see a front in the Active Sky Preset Control mode like you can in the default live weather and also in the passive mode of ASFS. When you approach a front from a region with clear skies ASFS will slowly fade in clouds on your way towards the front. But you won't notice that as immersion breaking. Depending on your flightplan, aircraft and ASFS settings this process can take maybe 20 minutes or 100nm. You will notice that the weather is deteriorating continuously as you approach the bad weather region. That in itself is immersive as long as you think along the lines of "I am getting into a region with bad weather and clouds are building up all around me". If you think along the lines of "Oh my, there should be a front visible here, it is all so wrong" you won't find it immersive. But you will only come to that idea if you simultaneously run another instance of the sim with live weather alongside your ASFS session and see a front there. So in short: The weather in ASFS Preset Control mode with its transitions is immersive in itself, just don't expect to see weather fronts. And as someone else has already mentioned, this weather-front-topic is kind of over-emphasized. here. It's not that you see such an impressive weather front everyday IRL. Mostly the change from good to bad weather (or vice versa) happens as a continuous transition IRL as well - and ASFS depicts that quite well.

    Yes as mentioned in a couple of threads the issue is 100% related to having a 2nd screen attached. Unfortunately I really need the 2nd screen but yes a solid 40 decent for sure. And in lesser scenarios can run much higher native mode. Maybe a fix will come I sure hope so because running native at 30 or 35 w/ FG on is pretty much ideal.

    I haven't loaded the scenery up yet, but from looking at just LittleNavMap, they added some helipads to EDDS
  20. sidfadc
    I’ve seen all of that with default weather
  21. cchiozza
    Yes I am very confused. It worked fine before with the Bravo for me as well. I think I literally have a ghost in my machine (The Police) New drive, new Win11, New MSFS (beta), I have no idea.
  22. HiFlyer
    Now I'm thinking of the Narwhal song.....
  23. Paladin2005
    Had no conflict so far. Working with HC Bravo and the IFR1, but i use it since the beginning with Mobiflight.
  24. Tuskin38
    I also had updates in the content manager for the handcrafted EDDS from the German World Update, plus German and French landmarks.
  25. JYW
    That thing looks like a narwhal wearing floatation aids.... in an entirely GOOD way 😁
  26. JYW
    He's making something out of nothing whatsoever - for clicks - as always. Talk about a tenuous link, for Jorg's comments constituting a release date. Just IMO. Not a credible source of info.
