The new BATC toolbar makes a huge difference now. Worth grabbing off the website ps the update didn't give me any AI jetway action....

There will always be stutters.

That full screen video is the first thing I got rid of. The music will stop if you <windows key> out to desktop while it's loading and then go back and there's no music.

Go as wide as your budget can go. I still have two x 32" Curved. Now I use the Samsung G9 49inch. Tempted to go the 57inch soon but fear I'll need a crane to hold it to the desk. The adjustable mounting arm works very hard!

I can't summon the energy to read these

What news is it that you seek ?

I haven't noticed any issues with the 777 here. Flies great.

I'm way past being seduced by these addons. Give me MSFS weather any time and move on.

I've long believed that most on the "beta" program are just there so they can say they're on the beta program...

Can't complain, basically east coast is my most flown region and it looks beautiful.

I think lighting "bigness" is entirely subjective and depends on individual eyesight and camera lens trickery, external environment, time of day, weather conditions etc. I haven't seen any reason to use further addons to mess with it. The less things I mess with the better, is my motto

I've recent turned HDR back on as I had it turned off in Win11 for a while, can't recall why. Anyway I agree night flying is beautiful now. Continental Europe looks amazing.

Yep the inversion of the release order for 2024 over 2020 looked like trying to minimise use of the existing customer discount.

Yes the old internal vs external modelling discussion. Unfortunately, rock star marketing shots are normalised now so in order to sell copies the developer has to model every chair and coffee cup in the food court and every landside Hyundai. Now there was a time where every polygon mattered and why waste them on things never seen. In this age now with 24+GB VGA cards, headroom is abundant. I'm happy to only see what I see from the flight deck as convincing as possible. So some internal modelling trickery from that POV has merit for me. I like the packages that let you switch it all off, if you prefer, eg IniBuilds. To me that is the right way to do it. Won't change the giant file size though.

looks delightful
