After taking a short break from MSFS, got myself a new PC and a new monitor. Specs are in my signature but if that is not visible, I now have: Intel Core i7-14700K, RTX 4070Ti Super 16GB, 32GB DDR5 6000Mhz RAM, 3 x 1 TB Nvme's with read/write of 9500/8500 respectively, 1200W PSU, AIO cooled, all connected with a MSI Z790 m/board. Today I picked up my new monitor, a Dell 32' 4K 144 Hz with 1 ms response time with both G-Sync and FreeSync. This is all running on Win 11 Pro. Monitor is connected to GPU using DisplayPort, not HDMI. So, onto my questions: anything in particular I should be setting in Nvidia Control Panel, Windows display setting and the sim itself to take advantage of G-Sync? Must I disable frame rate limit in MSFS menu and leave frame rate unlimited? Or should I set it to half refresh rate (70FPS) with V-Sync on? G-Sync is new to me, my previous monitor did not have this feature. I very much doubt my new system will be hitting 144 FPS in MSFS with settings on a mix of high/ultra - more like 70 I guess.

What did you do in msfs today
RaptyrOne replied to cianpars's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Fixing the mess of an update I was dished up yesterday….. 🫤 -
I see mine also takes a while to populate now. Also thought I had lost my logbook. Maybe 10 seconds later everything appears. Nothing is really working properly right now. Their servers (or something) need a proper reboot, and while they are doing that, an upgrade.

Update appears to be processing
RaptyrOne replied to fppilot's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Yep, this is the last time I rush in to update on update day. Between MS and Asobo, they really fluffed this update. Pretty sure it is all [totally inadequate] server related. -

You cannot fly it IFR for one. It is a VFR only machine. -
Doing this would not make much sense… you suspect something is wrong with your installation and all you would be doing here is copying the bulk of your “old” and potentially bugged/faulty installation. That is not reinstalling: you are then retaining the bulk of your potentially “faulty” files. If you are going to try a reinstall, do it properly or you will be wasting your time and as Bobsk8 says, that would be a recipe for disaster.

Ray, when World and Sim updates arrive, don’t just click install. Make sure these are being installed into the right location that your sim is installed to. There is a bar at the bottom of the screen showing you where the update will be installed. Installing an update to the wrong directory is likely to trash things. Other than that, it is possibly an internet stability issue, either on your end or your ISP, leading to corrupt downloads. If internet speed and data is not an issue, I suggest removing the sim entirely and reinstalling from scratch to a new custom directory.

Feedback from real ATR pilot on the sims ATR
RaptyrOne replied to Bigbluss's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I know several pilots that use the sim. Even a senior CRJ captain that uses the Aerosoft CRJ (which is apparently not even that good according to most accounts on Avsim) to practice ahead of real life sim training. It is way more common than you might think. Absolutely no reason to be terrified. -
New MSFS error in graphics
RaptyrOne replied to bofhlusr's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
And yet, my lowly 6GB GTX 980Ti has never thrown this error. I also don’t get CTD. I run a mix of High and Ultra settings, LOD 160. I must be stressing my old GPU (and overclocked CPU) to the max. The sim runs locked at 30 FPS 95% of the time with mostly payware stuff. Up to 6 hour flights. Something not adding up…. Even worse for those affected, a simple wording change to the message is the planned fix…
