flyforever

I have a fairly good system: 7800X3d and 7950xt. Before SU5, I was a happy simmer, experiencing excellent performance all around. I did not experience severe stutters or anything to make me feel less than a happy simmer. I did not make any changes when the sim updated to su5. What changed was that the sim was no longer flyable. Severe stutters beyond anything I had see in the sim until now. Immediately, I concluded that the update introduced new variables that made generated stutters. It took me a while to get to it, mostly by trial and error and some you tubing, but I finally discovered that setting the correct sync rate in gpu ( in my case, adrenalin), and msfs 24 is critical. Once I managed to find the right combination, my stutters totally disappeared. It may seem obvious to some, but to many it's a small yet very critical setting that can make or break the sim. As an example, a mismatched syn rate between, sim and monitor, would produce a range as high as 90 and as low as 14 fps. Now, I fly at a steady 60 with 2x frame gen and no stutters. Perhaps I've missed this aspect of the sim, mostly because some people talk about tearing when the sync rate is matched. Anyway, hope this helps some of you who are still struggling with severe stutters.

Perhaps someone can help. No issues pre su5 with my CH Yoke POV switch controlling basic right, left, up and down views with the POV button. After su5, no matter what I do, I cannot make the camera views work. I have checked for conflicts and all other potential issues. The only way to have the camera work is to do it through Chase Plane. However, this was not a problem before the upgrade. I've reset the controls. I have no issues programming the axis. Only the camera. Of course, I should have made a backup copy.... Oh, well. thanks.

After updating to su5, I had all kinds of long time loading issues. I followed a you tuber's suggestion to uninstall and reinstall the sim and, true, enough, loading times have gone back to less than 60 seconds and the sim no longer stutters. Not enough is said about the importance of balancing gpu settings with cpu load. Once these items are understood and set properly, the sim is a joy.

For some reason, when you google this site, there are two links. One is the legitimate one; the other will spam you or even infect you with a virus. I don't remember if it's the link that ends with a .com or .net. One of these is not legitimate.

The current b727 from FSS is a very good aircraft. Detailed and pretty high fidelity. It would not be very difficult for this developer to go to a 707 and also to a DC8. I do agree that Just Flight seems to have very good luck with excellent vintage planes such as the F27 and the B146.

If Asobo continues with its "legends" models, like the b707, there's no reason why the DC8 should not be considered. Hopefully, a more reliable developers should be assigned to the task.

I agree.

One feature of FSHUD is its ability to generate a flight plan by simply typing a departure and destination ICAO. This is done from within the sim and with a pop up menu. Within minutes, it will let you go to a parking spot with all engines on. From here you interact with FSHUD atc to proceed with flying. One other great feature is that in the pop up menu, the program displays a small directional arrow that essentially enables you to follow the flight plan by simply following that directional arrow. It also allows you to use simbrief. I have two ATC programs: one that uses simbrief, but FSHUD allows either method, and in your case, it's something that will simplify your flight planning.

Normally Normally, that would be true. The msfs 2020 and 2024, however, has increased the hardware market to very serious levels, thus encouraging many "niche" companies like Brunner to scale up and reduce the price for the same quality. As with all things, the competition in hardware will become increasing more fierce, forcing some companies to lower prices while others to close their doors.

I just picked up the next gen emb-110 for a few dollars from the market place. Before people jump on the " this is junk" bandwagon, I must say that for the money, this aircraft is a wonderful--no stress-- twin turbo to fly short flights on a moment's notice. Everything seems to work, that is, the basic stuff such as autopilot and other main features, all seem to work fine. In a matter of minutes, I can fly a short run, even manually, and have a lot of fun taking off and landing. In manual mode, the aircraft stays level nicely and takeoff and landing behavior is somwhat realistic. Acceleration and deceleration appear to be pretty good. Sounds are not the best, but then I've come to accept less than perfect sounds in most msfs aircrafts. The cockpit all analog layout is a beauty--at least for those of us who still favor analog guages. Yes, I have the high fidelity aircrafts from PMDG and others, but at times I want to be a lazy pilot, that is, plan an easy gps flight that takes less than one hour so that I can then go to my other family obligations. This aircraft allows me to do that time and time again. A sign of a good aircraft is one that you don't mind loading the sim with after the first time. I am old sim veteran, so I give this aircraft a strong 4 for things just feeling right--- unlike a virtualcol aircraft, which never gets its flight model right. This aircraft is not perfect, but for the money it provides a lot of band. Even the beta reverse work well. Please be forewarned that if you're looking for a PMDG or Fenix at this price, you'll be disappointed. This is a much, much better aircraft than many of Asobo default aircrafts.

Thank you for providing a clear, technical explanation regarding MIDI and A&O. A&O is one of the best utilities for button assignments.

I've had this issue for many years. Sometimes, I have to totally delete the button assignment and start from scratch, which happens to erase(reset) whatever is making it misbehave. There's definitely an issue; it's just hard to record it and analyze it in order to seek a solution or provide evidence of the problem.

I experience this behavior regularly, and it comes down to perhaps the first step that you're supposed to do when programming A&O. I am going by memory, so my apologies if I get this wrong. If I press a midi button before I declare what kind of button I am pressing, I think A&O behaves badly. I think you need to press the "rocker" radio button and then move the midi dial either left or right in order for the correct direction to stick.

I see a $pc$ folder containing all the msfs store content. I have another folder with the same name but without the dollar signs. Any idea how this might have been created, and can it be deleted? Thanks.

I use the msfs elevator trim with no issues.
