  1. A couple years ago tiny self propelled wagons carrying shopping bags exited the supermarket down a few blocks for our house and trundled along the sidewalks, I never heard about any thefts. It was sort of interesting watching them wait on the sidewalk at traffic lights for green. Amazon was testing drone delivery about the same time, but not in our city. Covid sort of delayed such projects.
  2. I was also about to buy an external GPS device which works to tune the Garmin in MSFS2020. It might also work well in 2024. I'm going to wait.
  3. And who, fight a never ending battle for truth! Justice! And the American way!
  4. Waiting to see what is and what is not going to be compatible with FS2024. And what the performance will be in that sim.
  5. I have never used this app. Because my flight are always smooth. Both OLOD and TLOD are always at 200. Render preset is Ultra for everything. I see no stutters anywhere in the sim at any level. I suspect it's because even though I run 2 1440p monitors, but MSFS only extends in a window stretched across one and a half monitors (desktop spanned over 2 screens with NCP surround's bezel correction). Less pixels than one 4K monitor. I put other stuff, like maps, on the right half of the right hand screen which isn't in the MSFS window.
  6. 1.37.8.0 (BETA) I do not have this issue at all. Everything opens normally and sim plays fine. Nothing of issue about content manager. => I don't play in full screen mode, only window mode. Maybe that's why I don't have the issue?
  7. Maybe this is not relevant, but "press any key" really means "click the mouse anywhere on the screen". Pressing keys is has never been recognized at that screen since day 1 of MSFS release.
  8. Another picture of him walking along in front of the screen he built for MSFS.
  9. Everybody looks happy except the poor bartender. It's going to be a long night, but he knew he would be fired if he called in sick on March 17.
  10. Apparently, there's a new type of virus that infects the UEFI (commonly called the BIOS). No antivirus software can fix this type of virus. The system will be hosed. So far there have been no outbreaks of such virus but the vulnerability has been discovered. A complete prevention is to have installed the latest BIOS update for your brand of motherboard. Not all models of all brands of motherboards has a BIOS update yet to prevent this. But some do. I updated my BIOS just now. When you go to your motherboard brand's webpage and look at the BIOS versions available, the description of the version should mention if there is a fix for this new type of virus. Look for the word: LOGO. The LOGO.png or similarly named file that displays when you reboot the computer is the gateway for the virus to hose the BIOS. So this type of virus is called LOGO virus.
  11. DX12 with Frame Generation ( RTX 4k+ series only... ) I only have a $280 cpu (58003DX), old $90 AM4 MB, older tech 32 GB RAM ($110), 600 watt power supply. All because these are cheap. But the GPU is a 4070 because the bang for buck on any 4000 series card is enormous! So it was worth the $550 that 4070s cost nowadays. If I was playing other games instead of MSFS, then I wouldn't give a hoot about FG. But I'm not going to play MSFS without it !
  12. One example of this type of thing is at 11:30 in this video. It's about the Boeing 747, not NASA, but the same critical reason holds for example at NASA and nuclear power plants: old technology is more reliable. And so still used in critical situations. Floppy discs. Windows XP. These are more reliable than modern tech.
  13. I don't suppose there's much to say about this subject except we will see in July how well Comcast's plan works. In America this summer, 160 movie theaters will show Olympic events on their giant screens. Sort of like an oversized sports bar, except everyone is neatly seated in rows and have to pay to enter. EDIT: Alcohol is legal to serve inside movie theaters in America but wagering is not. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/amc-clinches-deal-with-nbc-to-show-live-olympics-coverage-in-theaters-141ed01f
