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.

I just arrived at the same conclusion. If DRM was needed then they should have just done the marketplace. I can get comfortable with the marketplaces and its built in DRM but adding another layer of DRM just for one airport?.. No thanks Thankfully i don't usually buy airport scenery much or consider having all the bells and whistles that addon airport scenery entails a must have like the aircraft that i use daily.

Ok now they have my attention. That was a much better presentation as to what they are about. The pics look great. Hopefully performance and systems match the pics because i would love to have top quality 787 available to fly.

Does Beyond ATC control the traffic on the ground ? For example .. can it assign runways for departure and arrival ? As a matter of fact can any program make use of multiple runways at the large airports instead of being forced to funnel everything through 1 runway ?

Great thanks .. ill try their injector then when i get home and see how it pans out. I am not too much of a stickler for needing real time schedules .. the stuck in time ones from AIG works fine but its worth checking in to see if im missing anything by going with the real time online option. For the models though i prefer AIG due to its option to use 2k textures.

Nope I flew that this weekend too .. No issues.

Jetways have been operational for me with the various aircraft i have used this past weekend.

This thread is about the flight plans and its implementation .. Not the flight models (There's nothing new on that front.)

Does FSTL traffic controller app work on AIG models ? I have a NG sub so i would like to give this a try but not quite at the expense of discarding my AIG install.
