It’s an Acer XB321HK.

My current monitor has the chip. It’s the full Gsync, not “compatible” or Freesync.

Yes

No, 32” is not a limit for me. It’s what I have now, and 8 years ago was the sweet spot for cost/performance. If I could add HDR to what I have, I’d probably be content. I’m just trying to get clarity on whether a wide or curved monitor is a good choice for FS or not, and whether Track IR is obsolete.

New high end system with Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPU and Nvidia RTX5080 GPU. Old monitor is 8 years old and was high end in 2018, Acer 16:9 32” 4K LED. I use TrackIR and am completely confused whether a wide and curved monitor would be best or maybe a larger 16:9 4K screen with HDR. Any suggestions? I want to improve the experience with FS2024.

Nice. I took my primary training and got my certificate flying out of KFIT when I lived in New England. I really, really miss it.

MyTraffic 6 was $20 and the install was simple and took about 15 min. Much simpler for me and no issues. I fly GA aircraft, so I just want traffic that is plausible and varied. I don't care about various repaints, schedules, gate assignment, etc. MyTraffic can be installed with FSX boxed, FSX-SE, or P3D, all from the same install. Well worth the $20.

After scanning my system, it looks like I have hundreds of duplicate AFCAD files, resulting from a mix of Ultimate Terrain (most current version of every region installed), MyTraffic 6, and various add on airports from FSDT, Imaginesim, FlyTampa, and others. While I have these files layered correctly in the scenery.cfg, with MyTraffic at the lowest priority, then Ultimate Terrain, then add on airports, does having these files cause a conflict? I've read that even with proper priority, it's necessary to disable all but the file in use at the highest priority. Is that the case?

They overclock the CPU, run diagnostics and stress tests, and pre-load the application. They don't have any "secret sauce" or do much (if anything) that any high end gaming PC builder doesn't also do.

It's interesting to read the various ways people flightsim, and what can be a showstopper for some isn't even important to others. For me, I'm a real world GA pilot and I've been simming for about 30 years, since the days of DOS and SubLogic. I've also been using MyTraffic since the first versions with FS2002 and FS9. I want airports that aren't empty and skies with traffic that ATC can warn me about and that I can hear as chatter. I could not care less about what airline or livery is at a gate or what time a flight leaves or arrives. I just want plausible traffic in the correct geographies as background, just like in real life I have no idea what flight numbers or schedules are for air traffic near me.

N60JBravo...you are going way over my head. I am dev challenged. What I'm experiencing is when I am selecting LGA from the free flight menu, I go to New York and La Guardia is in the list and when I select it with the default "active runway" it shows Edo. This is with all 3rd party LGA add ons disabled (or AFAIK disabled).

Hmmm...after posting on their forum, I found out that he adds bgls in scenery\world\scenery that are labeled with the airport identifier with ALT. Rename or remove those and your runway issues may be fixed. I'm not educated enough on where the info for the location picker comes from, but something is messed up. It's unfortunate but the scenery is unusable to me with single digit fps, despite a cutting edge overclocked system. I also get OOM errors in about 30 sec, which do not happen with the Imaginesim KLGA and FSDT KJFK both enabled. I should have done the trial first, but saw the package on sale and read good reviews.

Reviving this old thread.... I purchased Drzewiecki's NY Airports X which includes KLGA - La Guardia. As far as I know, everything was working fine previous to the installation. If I disable the add on and go back to default, when I select "active runway" at La Guardia, what comes up is "Edo" and KLGA is not properly rendered in the sim. If I choose a specific runway or gate, then all is well. Anyone know what's up here? Did the add on package step on or remove some default bgl or info?

I've only been a casual user at Avsim, but have been coming here for about 13 years. Thank you for providing a place like this for the flight sim community. All my best wishes Tom for you and your family during this very personal time.
