Yes, but preset F and the 3.7 dll seem to be the best combo (for me at least) at reducing the fruit machine spool and ghosting effect.

You would think so, but they seem bland in comparison. Not so much contrast and the cumulus seem to have quite flat bottoms, so when you get a few together the effect of the flat bottoms seem like banding. That being said, it depends on the type of weather being depicted as to what you see obviously. The texture of the clouds viewed from above are fine, just lacking the same level of contrast. To me it looks like the same difference as switching between ultra and high cloud settings Stu

I've said my piece on the cloud textures, but that aside, I'm glad I purchased it. It seems to be giving accurate weather, so go for it. Stu

Indeed a wise choice. I've seen your posts over at the WX forums and thought, I recognise that gentleman! I upgraded from a Vantage Vue to the Pro in late December, went for the aspirated radiation shield too, based on yours and many other comments. I put my anemometer just shy of 10M up on the chimney breast with a seperate transmitter, which is very interesting during named storms!

And across the border in Shropshire, my Vantage Pro 2 is saying 13.8C with a dew point of 2.8 C Humidity 47.2%. Stu

I absolutely agree with the video creators comments about the cloud texturing being below what native MSFS can generate. It looks very poor to my eye. I hope future updates can remedy this. Damien has been such an important provider to the world of flightsims for so long, I really wish this product well. I'm glad I purchased it, but it's not there for me in texture quality yet. Stu

Depiction of the clouds and accuracy of the metar are separate issues in my humble opinion. I have no issue with the depiction of the metar/weather, however even the cumulus clouds have flat bottoms and when you get a few together all the flat bottoms create a pattern of lines which look like banding which is unnatural. Looking at the clouds from above, they do look better but not as defined as the default MSFS clouds, they are bland and lack the same level of contrast. I just did an approach into LGAV and what I saw matched the metar. However, the scattered cumulus over the water had flat bottoms and it looked they were intersecting with the water. It looked totally unrealistic, even though it was correct cloud type and coverage according to the metar. I'm a little surprised it hasn't been mentioned more. Stu

My feeling with ASFS is that the clouds lack definition. They seem very soft and dare I say, cartoony, compared to msfs default. However, the accuracy depicted of the metar looks pretty good. I really do not like the look of the clouds, though. It's as if the quality has been turned down from ultra to medium. Stu

I find the odour of my 4090 to be quite pleasing.......🙂

Yep. Wildlife and sports photography! Have you seen the prices of those 400mm and 600mm lenses?...... oh, and you need a camera to stick em on as well! There's a 15 to 20K investment, right there!

I've used 30 FPS for years in FSX and then P3d, also Xplane and was more than happy. However. now I'm using frame generation and my FPS is locked to 60Hz, my monitor refresh rate, I can no longer tolerate how laggy 30 FPS is. I went back to 30 FPS the other day in MSFS just to try it and it was really bad (to me) when panning, fine looking forwards out of cockpit but panning/head movement was too laggy.

Yep. I tried the PrimaryScaling 0.670000 SecondaryScaling 2.000000 setting in user config along with ultra settings, DX12 DLSS Quality with the new 3.6 dll and drivers 551.86. I had no idea a 4090's fans could get that loud! Performance was poor too. Put the scaling factors back to 1 for primary and secondary and kept the other graphics settings as was. The displays still suffer the ghosting effect and fruit machine spin blur but it is more tolerable to me than previous iterations. It does seem sharper to my eye in 4K at least. Stu

Hey, a time travelling motobility scooter... I've been after one of those for years! Stu

Thats my experience as well.

I have a 4090 and their version 2 EIDW performs pretty well for me on max settings with the Fenix B2. I'm actually at Dublin airport in real life at present..... quite coincidental. I'm finding the real world EIDW has no FPS issues at all....... I'll certainly be looking at getting their LEBL offering, as my experience is good with MK Studios so far. Stu
