  1. I've never even heard of BATC disconnecting until your thread here. I have flown with BATC quite a bit over the last year and never had it disconnect. Very strange...very very strange. I'd suggest going to the Discord as was said.
  2. Whether you fly 2020 or 2024 matters here. 2020's architecture benefits from the extra cache more than 2024 -- 2024's architecture seems to still benefit from it, but not as much. As to what is "substantial", one man's substantial is another man's minor performance bump. There is info out there about MSFS2020 with 5800X3D offering what is in my opinion substantial improvement vs. non vcache cpu's of the same vintage. Here is the thread from release era, good info right at the top: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/617599-ryzen-7-5800x3d-brilliant-msfs-performance/
  3. Can't even quote on this site anymore. Good grief charlie brown
  4. [QUOTE]Remember to update the plane is easier when streaming. Regarding anyone using spoilers binds with axis, these will not work anymore by design, this is to allow the phenom computer to manage them accordingly like in real life. To use spoilers with binds, use the correct events, Toggle, or 1 button to extend and 1 button to retract. The spoilers are a button (close / open) not a lever axis.[/QUOTE] Should we, or should we not bind a button to the spoilers? Given that this is now automatic (as the real plane), do we even need to bind it? Or is it ok to bind a button.

    Here???!!!? Nah surely not. 😀 I always wondered, in your picture, are you by chance driving a Ford Bronco II ? Or full-size Bronco? Or F150/250/350? The mirror looks like a Ford mirror, 80's to maybe circa 1990 vintage, but I could be totally wrong.
  6. Pretty neat. Good to see this progressing, albeit sloooooowwwwlllly. 20 years ago I would have never imagined SST's again anytime soon, not just because of noise regs, but due to rising fuel costs, but here we are. I still think hydrogen fuel cells are the way to go...best for the environment overall.
  7. When you guys do recurring training or go for a new type certificate, doesn't the governing body (TCCA in this case, FAA etc.) check your credentials/certifications/hours of training at that time? Or is it left up to the airline to self-report?
  8. I ran FS-II on the Apple //e and it's possible that SD12 was never released for the Apple (?) Anyway, by 1988 I was getting less interested in flight sim and more interested in girls, so it might have been released for the Apple and I just didn't know about it. I started with FS-II in 1985 at the age of 12 and I'd say I flew it...and WW1 flying ace subgame...pretty regularly from 1985-88. Then I picked up FS4 and ran it on my 386SX/20 back in circa 1991. Later I got a 486DX2/66 and ran FS5.0/5.0a/5.1 I never had FSW95. Went from FS4--->FS5---->FS98 and on to today. Yeah it was a neat scene then, AMD came out with their 386DX/40 which was considered strange in my circle at the time. A 40mhz clone of a 386, made by AMD.
  9. Is scenery disk 12 all of New York State? Or just part of it? I had scenery disks for basically Atlantic City, New Jersey all the way to Key West FL, but I don't recall a disk for New York. Beyond the New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Mass. that came with my SubLogic FS-II copy.
  10. Do you think flight sim people object to more detail? No. Nothing "bothers" anyone about the insides of airports, if it can be done with 1) little to no perf penalty, and 2) the OUTSIDES of the airport are not neglected #1 seems to be increasingly a reality, happily so However, all too often, #2 suffers...busted pathings, bad taxi signs, and worse And yet, we have perfectly-modelled kommodes in an obscure back corner of Concourse B. I think that is the heart of what people don't like.
  11. THAT is perfectly ok with me, because it's something you can see from the flight deck. But I do think the rest of it, if modelled, is fine too, but not necessary as far as I'm concerned. I am just interested in what I can see from the flight deck which is what you described. I don't need every coffee-maker-machine modelled at some kiosk inside the terminal.
  12. Or Sam Spade and Dirty Harry teaming up along with Mike Hammer to net some bad guys. Mike Hammer was so mean, he punched a tiger in its face.
  13. How is the "front wheel steering friction with speed" going? Has it helped with certain setups/people experiencing dancing?
  14. Do you mean the synthetic vision HUD thingy? Does anything else have that? It's a curiosity for sure.
