Advice on connecting an AVR to PC for 5.1
duckbilled replied to duckbilled's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etcThanks. Can ARC transmit 5.1? I thought it had to be HDMI 2.1/eARC can return 5.1. Or, is the issue with older HDMI just for atmos and more advanced surround?

Advice on connecting an AVR to PC for 5.1
Hello, While I know 5.1 isn't fully operational with MSFS (some say yes, some say no, PMDG says no with their products..), I want to set up my rig to be able to decode 5.1 if/when available and I'm fine if I simply have to work with multichannel stereo if that's all I can get for now. I tried a SteelSeries Arena 9, and I'm not satisficed with the sound. I should have known this product would be woefully insufficient before purchasing, but that's on me (sound quality is only slightly better than a phone speaker with a sub added). I am now looking at the used AVR market to see I can get better results. I am trying to decide which features I must have to make this work while spending the least amount of cash. I can decide if optical, usb, ARC or eARC is the best connection method. Based on the following hardware, what do you think is the best way to connect this? Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero Asus TUF Gaming OC 3080TI LG 48" C1 OLED Right now the C1 is connected to the 3080TI via HDMI 2.1. Arena 9 is connected via USB to the mobo. Am I correct that I must get a receiver with eARC, connect the 3080ti to the receiver and then the receiver to the C1 or is there a better method to make this happen? Thanks for your help.

Connection Lost messages - never had them like this
In Detroit. Same here. Perfect timing with remapping my TQ (why that can't be done offline, IDK).

New MSFS 2024 Trailer - Release date: 11/19/2024
Nice Trailer. Accurate AI Traffic, Solid ATC, proper ground handling of AI, all Tropical water masks, and accurate weather radar that can be exported to third-party aircraft are must-haves on day one. Those are all things that should have been in 2000 from the beginning, and none of them exist four years later.

I Cannot Purchase Anything from Marketplace
Did you try the method below? It seems like it is a requirement, and it is what fixed it for me. Like so much stuff with this sim, MS/AS has jest left us to figure out basic stuff on our own. By basic, I mean things like how to start the darn sim. I don't have an XBox or a previous XBox account so starting the sim through the XBox app was incredible intuitive. Of course, when you are used to creating games strictly for gamers, you assume that everyone has an XBox account and is accustomed to starting all their games through that app. They need to remember that some of the biggest hardcore FS fans are over 60 years old, and they should make assumptions like that.

Best Payware 787?
I think this counts as an official update. I also think it is a bit far along to become vaporware. http://flightsimcentral.net/need-know-quality-wings-787/

Would you like payware quality KPHL, for free/donation, for FSX
What isn't old is DTW is back on and now in beta. It was announced a couple days ago.

Ezdok changes position on its own.
Is the view moving to another preset view or to some random position? If it is another view, do you have key commands assigned to the views? Is it possible that you have duplicate keyboard/joystick commands?

QW757 vc shadows
Thanks. Is that for FSX cameras or EZCA cameras? Not really an issue for me, because all of my wing view cameras are defined as internal cameras in EZCA anyway, but curious. The actual issue I mentioned is I didn't pick a good test case to test the QW's HD shadows - I had them enabled, didn't see shadows and disabled them. After enabling them again and taking off from DTW at 10 AM and doing circles, I the shadows performed as expected.

QW757 vc shadows
Hi, VC shadows seem to be working for me but the edges are very jagged. In the default Maule, the jagged edges are not that noticeable, but in the QW757, the edges are very jagged and the shadows seem to, for lack of a better term, crawl around the vc. They appear lick splotches rather than shadows. Does anyone have any experience with VC shadows in the QW757? Or, are there any ways I can improve the appearance of the vc shadows. I am using FSX, BTW. Thanks.

Windows 10 Upgrade Or Stay......
The update hosed drivers on my laptop. I colleague of mine also had similar problems. I like the OS, but I am not installing it on my FSX rig.

Help on improving atmosphere, lighting, colors
Hi, I have been a little out of the loop for a while on add ons, but I was watching a few YouTube videos and I am seeing graphics/atmosphere in lesser rigs that put my experience to shame. Yes, I have used a few of the guides for set up (NickN, AVSIM, Word Not Allowed...), but the colors and lighting are totally off. My current rig is about a year old, but I have not really put it through its paces. On my last system, I played around with Shade and ENB, but I have not installed either on the new system. What are the current/best options for achieving better results? Right now, I DX9 and I have 1 27" Monitor at 2560x1440. This is what I understand is available: P3DV3: I would upgrade to this - I think most of my add on scenery will work but even though I do have a GSX license, I am pretty attached to ASE. I never bothered installing GSX on the new system. Shade: I bought the thing but I can't even remember if I liked it ENB: I think I stuck with ENB, but I think I had issues with the dark panels/gauges at dusk DX10 Fixer: I believe switching to DX10 would help, but I have no idea what the fixer does or if all of my add ons will work afterwards Sweet FX: This came out after I unplugged from FSX for a while. I have no idea what it is all about. Any suggestions or words of wisdom? -Jeff
