Does Black square have a website? I can see why the fidelity level of the instrumentation and such gets people excited but is there any information on the flight model? I really like a plane that has a great flight model. I'd heard (incorrectly?) that for this plane, BS was planning to make their own flight model like an A2A plane. Was that incorrect info?

Frame generation for all RTX cards
Cavemanhead replied to MrFuzzy's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Dumb question time... I'm using Win 10 and a 4090. I noticed there are options in the sim for DX11 and DX12. When people are referring to "running in DX12" in this thread is that simply a bit switch to DX12 in FS2020 or do I need to totally install a new version of DX on my PC. My understanding is that Win 10 uses DX11 natively, and I'd need to install DX12 to use DX12 features. Or... Do I just select DX12 in FS2020 and the Frame Generation choice will no longer be greyed out? -
Thanks guys. Very much appreciate the feedback! The type I'm looking for would be relatively simple... to get the "feeling" of flying a heli and for sightseeing in FS2020 near areas where I have an interest in seeing the scenery in areas like the ORBX airports/regions... Sounds like the ultimate experience for flight may be in XP12 so in that context what would be the best bet?
-
Per subject... Or the PMDG 737 of Helis... You get the idea. Are there any "study level" sort of helicopters out there that are comparable in quality to the aforementioned planes? Flight modeling is the most important priority to me. Looking for something that's considered best in terms of "feel" relative to a real chopper. Systems modeling is a second priority... Any recommendations?

I've got about 30 ORBX sceneries/airports. Is there a way to easily delineate them from the defaults?

Black Square Announces the B60 Duke!
Cavemanhead replied to Mets737's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I loved the RealAir Turbine Duke back in P3d. But... the main reason it was so appealing was the outstanding flight model. I'm a junkie for a great flight model. Don't all the Black Square planes just use the default flight models and update the instruments and external models only? -
New to MS 2020. Noticed my Flysimware Cessna 414 in a thing called "My Hanger". It looks amazing in there... I'd like to put all my payware separately in that area. Is that possible or is it something the developer decides. I have the A2A Commanche 250 and the PMDG 737-600 and want to add both there to keep things organized sine I wont be flying any default planes. Can one force planes into the My Hanger area?

FSRealisticPro Do I understand correctly?
Cavemanhead replied to Cavemanhead's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
The general take is that there may be a sound effect or 2 that could enhance an A2A aircraft but that the real beauty comes when improving something like the FSW 414C, etc... Improves any aircraft not already tweaked to the hilt with great sound effects. -
I have very little time to fly... I have the FSW C141 and the A2 Comanche and I'll probably get an airliner at some point and a few others. Outside of that, I'd like to hide everything else so I just see "my planes". Same idea with scenery but less extreme. I'd like to see all my payware in one area (favorites?) if there is such a a thing... I'm probably blind and it's obvious but need some help. And wow... The key-binding process for a joystick seems ridiculously and unnecessarily complex. I hope this improves in the future. Great sim otherwise.

Thanks so much to everyone who said their piece - even the person that suggested I wanted to brag about my system. It reminded me how blessed I feel to have it! I remember walking a few miles home every day in 7th grade so I could fly MS flight sim on a blazingly fast IBM PC Jr. For years I had hopes of building my own rigs which I finally got start in my 20s but never did state of the art to save the $. The last rig I built was almost 8 years ago and I decided to go all out this time with a 4090 etc... Honestly, I wasn't trying to brag, just get good feedback on my baseline. I was hoping to snag someone like Nuemanix and Noel for some technical inputs. Thanks so much guys as this is very helpful and confirms what I've seen before (that even a very fast system can be smoothed on the low end) which is my goal. AND... Was looking for what can/should be disabled for gaming optimization (without causing an issue). Noel, I sent you a PM.

LOL, I figured there would be at least one comment like yours. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm an engineer... I get it. But... On the flip side, engineers enjoy tweaking and I don't want to leave any performance on the table. I don't expect the high end FPS on a rig like this to be affected much, but the theoretical 1% lows should go way up. This is a science experiment of sorts with no regrets other than if something goes south and I wipeout something that a flight sim (made by an OS company) needs to function. If anyone is going to tie OS bloatware into a sim it would be Microsoft. Hopefully in that off chance a restore point comes to the rescue. Looking for any folks out there who've tried the Win 10 debloat successfully.
