Since I am using a 4090 card, I waned to upgrade my current 40" 60 Hz monitor to a 50" 120 Hz one.  I was hard finding a 50" 120 Hz TV for under $1000.  But I finally found a LG QNED 50" open box/new for $450 at BestBuy.  So I pulled the plug and bought.

I have been getting around 120 fps and was wondering if a 60 z TV has hurting me.  I really can't tell the difference yet, but it looks amazing.  I like how big the gauges as now - almost real sized while not having to zoom in.  I always thought the bigger the TV, the less frame rates you'd get, but that is not the issue.   I took the 40" HDTV and made it my main monitor on my non Flight Sim computer.  

I get a high rate of CTD on start up when I choose an airport by typing the Code in.  The map will zoom in quickly to the airport, the nthe sound stops and I get  CTD.  I did fid if I run a Landing Challenge first, then ytr to goto the same airport I don't get  a CTD.

Anyone get this CTD?  If so - what do I do??

I used to have a 60hz 43" Samsung 4k tv.  It served me well.  But I replaced it with a 38 inch 3840x1600 144hz.  I run it actually at 120hz and HDR on.  But to me the biggest upgrade was true gsync.  Like virtuali mentioned.  The top end fps isn't really the most important thing.  It's a screen that can do gsync or VRR.  

micstatic:

thanks for your response, it is what I am looking for  but you are talking way above my tech abilities.  

If I do buy a 120 Hz tv strictly for MSFS, using a 4090 card. 

1: how do I do vsync or VRR.  It that a TV option? or a setting in MSFS???

2:  did the 144Hz help make a big difference for you?  what brand tv did you get??

I am tech savvy, so I trust you all for tis advice- - tanks.

I have a 40" UHDTV as a main monitor for MSFS. It looks pretty good.  Itis at 60 Hz refresh rate. I have a 4090 card and an Intel 13900 CPU and get around 120fps mot of the times.  Would I notice a difference if I buy a 50" UHDTV that operates at 120 Hz.   Does the refresh rate really make a difference for MSFS???

Ok. Big help.  Sometimes these solutions are not easy to find. I thank you for the reply. This made a huge difference.  Now KLGA is much much better.  Again. Thank you kindly for caring

I have Feelthere KLGA and GSX Pro in MSFS. Some buildings are missing. I wrote to Feelthere and they say to exclude Feelthere KLGA from within the GSX settings.

I have searched Youtube and all my setting and don't see how it it done.  Am I doing this inside the MSFS sin and opening up GSX?  or opening up GSX outside the sim?  then where do I go from there.  Any advice will be appreciated.

I have FS2020 and GSX Pro Installed.  I have many addons from Drz Design, FSDT, FlyTampa, Flightbeam, LatinVFR  and so on.  Does GSX pro overwrite the default and addon jetways?  I see some jetways missing and some posted to remove .bgl files in GSX.  But I see no where to do so?  KLGA  has many gates 20-25 missing  and Feelthere is the addon for them

I love the MSFS 787.  I notice sometimes the elevators stop working.  I see on the ground The FLT CNTR indicators show I can move the elevator to full up and down position, but while in the air the hardly move.  Is that because the FBW system is preventing me from over-stressing the plane.

But sometimes, I am losing altitude and I deed to pull up, no matter how hard I try, the elevator axis won't move.  same happens in a climb, if I push yoke forward nothing happens.  AP Pis OFF, no other elevator axis assigned.  It all works when I take off, but somewhere it (elevators) stop working. The indicators seem to "try" to move, but something forces it back to neutral.  Again, this doesn't happen all the time - I'd say 33% of the time. It just seems like something is forcing the elevators back to neutral.  Also I can't trim the plane either.  On the ground I can easily trim the plane to get to the correct trim setpoint for takeoff, but once in the air I can't trim the plane.  (AP OFF)

I have no issues with default MSFS 787 other than sometimes the elevator axis stops working.  
 

I have been flying the 788-10 a lot and have the plane down pretty good.   I run into one nagging problem.   Some flights go off without a hitch, others have the elevators freeze up.  I can’t trim the plane either and despite on pulling or pushing on the yoke, I can’t move the elevators.  I see the flight control indicators showing me no movement to support this.  Airelons work fine, so it is not my yoke.  Elevators are not assigned to any other controller.   The elevator axis simply falls asleep and I crash an I am stuck ina decent or climb.  Any advice?

I have a license for PMDG 737 CDU in MSFS and it works great.  PMDG will roll out the EFB soon for the 737 in MSFS.  Does the EFB license cover that??

Also the default 787-10 is awesome in MSFS.  Are there any licenses that cover the CDU or new EFB for that plane.

I only used to fly PMDG planes, but this 787 really impressed me and I am flying it. I want to add some liveries from Marketplace.  I see so many.  Which one is the best for United, AA and other US carriers?

Great advice - thanks - you guys sure know your stuff !!!

OK seems like I have to remove the Heavy Sim Mod - dumb question, how do I do that? I found the XD787 folder in my community folder and just moved it to a different location.  That seems to work now as all previous functions now work.  Was my folder move the right solution - I never un-installed anything.

I really want to fly the 787 in MSFS.  I have the premium version.  I see I have the 787-10.  I also see I downloaded the Heavy Division 1.15 update version.

I am not sure if it installed properly.  In my plane menu in MSFS, I have only a 787-10 available.  In the 787 CDU under Ident Page, OP Program says - HD-PROD-1-15-STA.  There is a HEAVY button in the CDU - so I think the update went thru?? correct??

I also notice I have many issues with the 787.  The FWD EXT Power is indicating AVAIL, yet when I i hit the buttons, nothing happens (BAT is ON), the AT ON/OFF buttons are inoperable and I have no autothrottle.  LNAV doesn't work, nether does HDG select work.  I can't start the engines when away from the ate as I am disconnected to external power and APU is not picking up the load.  I can't push back from the gate as my engines are running.

Question for the Forum:  Pease help - I searched long on the forums to solve this with no answers.  

1. Do I indeed have the HD update?  Can I delete the update if it corrupted by default 787??

2. did it get messed up?

3.  when I go to their website it says 2.0 is no longer supported - why do I do now?

I see KURO has a 787-8. It that good?  which is better? 787-10 with HD update or Kuro.?

Thank you

I wouldn’t eat it, you never know where it’s been 😂😂😂

Kidding aside, I wouldn’t eat something humanoid looking, especially coming from somewhere else in the universe. I wouldn’t even try anything in the ape family since it’s too close looking to humans.

 

We probably taste horrible, especially if they samples Americans due  two eyes like ours.  to us being filled with artificial preservatives and fillers. If I was them, I’d first sample a European, at least their diet is a bit cleaner than ours.

An alien would look nothing like humans.  we look like what we are due to our gravity, atmosphere composition, atmospheric pressure, radiation, temperatures, 300 million years of evolution, or a God who made us in his own image.  I doubt they will have 2 arms and two legs with a head and two eyes like ours.  With a mouth nose and eyes positioned like ours.  Simply impossible.  I do know their flight sim community would not have to wait 3 years for a new version of a UFO to come out.

Highly doubtful aliens came here.  You’d need to travel many times faster than the speed of light to get anywhere.  Plus no creatures can survive the acceleration needed to get up to that speed and to decelerate to land.  

Forget the airports. I have what I need. Oh and Stravos, I am  aware what is out there, I have been a member here for 18 years and up on the latest  airports. My point is there is much still not out there from the big 4.  So let’s move on

I only fly PMDG and QW planes and it seems a QW or PMDG 787 is so far away.  That leave me with 2 options for a 787 I see.  Default or this Kuro 787. Which  is a better 787. The default one that was just updated or Kuro which I just discovered?  

I am all up on the latest of the big 4. I only buy North American airports so FT never did St Marteen, Tampa, KMDW, Montreal,   Drz never did KSEA or KPAE or KMIA.  FSDT never did KDFW, KIAH etc. many airports were never done.

I think the WT-augmented 787 pretty much let out whatever wind might have been in QualityWings' sails, if they're even still a going concern at this point.  But yes, airplane add-on development in MSFS isn't breaking any records.

As far as airports...I have over 140 add-on airports already in MSFS, which I think is pretty decent coverage in just three years.

 

What is the WT augmented 787?  Please explain that. I love to fly a 787 and default is not to my liking.   Wow 140 Addons. But the old big 4 [flightbeam, flytampa, dry design, fsdt] did seem to stop.  

When FS2020 came out, developers like FlyTampa, FSDT, Drzeweski Design, Flightbeam all had 3-4 airports that came out really quickly.   Years later and nothing was really released.  Why did QW stop the 787 for MSFS? It seems progress has come to a halt.  Even PMDG is dragging on their estimates (though we are at least kept in the loop). But other scenery/ Airport developers seemed to pack up and go home.  Many of my MSFS add on payware airports are by companies I never heard of - but thank God for them as my big favorite airport developers have fallen asleep

ok thanks - somehow messing with all the keys on the keyboard, I locked my drone and now no keys move the drone.  Any advice

I installed the new iniBuilds KJFK released today.  Nice addon.  It has so much custom scenery.  I'd like to explore the airport and go inside the control tower.  I can't figure how to change elevations in drone mode.  I watched so many videos of how to go left right and pitch up and down, but how do I climb?

So I had a conflict with KSEA airport doing double buildings.  I was advised to remove the Asorbo KSEA.  That worked perfectly.

I have these oter addons

KLAX Feelthere

KORD FSDT

KDEN Flightbeam

KATL Imagiee sim

KLAX was a no brainer to delete as it came up as Asobo KLAX, but KORD and KDEN come up as PREMIUM UPGRADE.  Do I delete the PREMIUM UPGRADE file.  KORD is listed as  DELUXE upgrade and KATL is listed as  WORLD UPDATE.  Something tells me not to delete these.  Please advise.

According to their web site it said last week it was due in 1-2 weeks  I added in the lead in lights    So I will remove them along with kjfk default

Ok. They indeed did air my post. At first the post never went thru so I used the AV Sim forum.  Good to know there are so many experts out there to solve some of these pesky issues..  so if there is an Adorno handcrafted scenery that I want to upgrade, I guess I’d need to delete the existing one.  KJFK by inibuilds is the next addon due this week that I will add.
