Was the presentation successful? I'm seeing messages getting deleted by the moderator and a Reddit meme with a wasm crash while Inibuilds and MS staff look on ... . Typical Reddit lameness i guess. So anyone who actually watched it have any comments ? Edit Found a link to watch... will assess. Well i don't see any wasm crash screens in the entire video so thats good. Guess ill watch in detail on the VNAV

Been ragging on the Synaptic group for years but its looking like its time for me to put out some cash and eat crow. Looks like they are going to make it after all.

Hmm i think you will have to test for yourself and see if it is an improvement. I know that there is a little delay when switching views and there is a frame or two that is typically garbled especially in high resource moments but the video the guy posted doesn't reveal any issues to my eyes. Perhaps im going blind?

Sim Update 6 Beta is now available. Microsoft Flight Simulator ForumsRelease Notes - SU6 Beta 1.8.5.0 - July 6, 2026RELEASE NOTES Sim Update 6 - Beta 1 - 1.8.5.0 If you are playing on PC, outdated packages in your community folder may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behavior. If you suffeLooking forward to see the night lighting implementation at generic airports!

The first picture is to get my interest but i need the remaining pictures to evaluate the overall quality of the paint. Things important to me Is the repaint accurate if there is a real life representation Does the repaint show fine details and decals? Does the repaint show appropriate weathering and appropriate age the aircraft. (Most liveries for me are too new and shiny) Is the painter mindful of the resources available to most users and optimized the paint with that in mind ? (No unnecessary 8k textures) Good painters can bring out all the details without 8k. For me i need the rest of the pictures to properly evaluate those criteria before i download.

That's a good deal !

Can we see the approach chart for the airport you were attempting to land at please?

I think the evaluation is based on no mention to date from FBW regarding RNAV approach capabilities which we can assume with a high probability will be included with the INI A380. Their A320 neo was a great platform for me to learn the basics of operation of the A320 and for that i am grateful but since learning the alternate gps based approaches in other aircraft i have not looked back.

I need three ... sorry. 🤷‍♂️ Fenix A320 PMDG 777F A2A Comanche

Still going to sit on the sidelines for a bit to observe user feedback but indeed i hope this release incorporates all the lessons from issues of the previous releases. I don't expect any release to be completely flawless but niggles rather than showstoppers this go round would demonstrate that they are improving.

I clearly don't like youtube ? That's a strange conclusion to make isn't it? Not sure if you noticed. The substance of my post is addressing the points made by the youtuber in his video about REBAR .. Who has a history of making performance related videos without acknowledging that everyone's platforms are different and every end user has different pain points and therefore the best approach is to test and let the end user decide what works for them. I can give you that the youtuber is well meaning but analytical people want a little more on the bone when suggestions are made rather than taking any random suggestion thrown out and running with it without evidence. Thats what my post is addressing and nothing else regarding youtube. I would also highly suggest to you to stick to the topic at hand (The rebar topic) before drawing conclusions about what avsim forum members like and don't like .. because frankly me liking youtube or not was not expressed in any previous post here on avsim and has absolutely nothing to do with me addressing the rebar topic that everyone else here is discussing. I honestly am confused as to how you arrived at the conclusion that i hated you tube or islansimpilot for that matter from reading my singular post in the topic thread.

This guy and his videos ... Please follow what works for your specific setup. Test with both on and off. Decide what are showstoppers for you and go from there. One guy and his experience does not translate into an automatic benefit for your own experience. Over the years of testing both MSFS2020 and 2024 on my own rig there was no perf or visual difference that i could observe. With 2024 on my Rig the tangible difference is the freeing up of 600-800mb of VRAM on my memory limited card. For him to recommend for me to accept visual texture deterioration and lock up that 6 to 800mb of VRAM again for no performance benefit (On my rig) plus the additional cost of turning down my texture settings or lod is absurd. If turning it on is to fix popping then i guess popping has never been my showstopper. Low rez textures and bad LOD draw distance on the other hand make me not want to fly at all.

Was looking out for your mini review. Is there a way to disable stuff (Internal features for example) to improve performance ?

I saw that revelation after my post. Don't make assumptions please. Ask next time. Or if you want to be helpful just make a friendly correction and it would have been noted. Thank You

The Fenix/PMDG i use almost daily. Its the primary interface you are working in.. When the App starts in the background you arent just getting DRM... you are also running the essential components that make the Fenix work. Orbx KATL I dont think i would be flying out of one airport that regularly even if it was my home airport (which it isnt). In addition to that im pretty sure scenery can be run within the sim without DRM so in this instance the DRM layer is just there for DRM. I applaud Orbx for being transparent no issues with that but as a potential customer who tries to keep everything running on their system to a minimum there should have been a marketplace option ... At least with that the dev gets their security and the customer does not have to have additional processes running.
