It can be quite useful for some things Marc, just don't bother trying to post anything there.

Ah, it opened for a few seconds, then blocked again. Hopefully Alex's new version will be along shortly

Looks like it's now sorted. Littlenavmap now working fine with openstreetmaps. Thanks Alex

Looks like you've been busy Vincent. Looking forward to the update.

Getting the message Access Blocked - Error 403 The App is not following the usage policy of openstreetmaps volunteer run servers. Anyone else getting this and is it something that can be resloved by either Alex or the user?

Just wondering if it is possible to stop MSFS reducing FPS to 30 from my normal 60 when running in the background (e.g.when using Littlenavmap)? I've checked my Nvidia settings to ensure background apps are not limited. Not a massive issue but it does take a few seconds for them to return to 60 when it is brought back into the foreground and can be slightly annoying. I use DLAA and 2X Nvidia framegen if that's any help. I think there may be an app which brings littlenavmap within MSFS but haven't tried that yet - any good?

My understanding is that Real Turb only adds clear air turbulence. I may be wrong, but that's my understanding. For me, mainly flying GA I find realsitic is fine using the weather presets, but as soon as I start using live weather, I have to dial it back to Medium. I think a lot of it may be system dependent, though a lot of simmers have never flown GA in real life and don't really know how it should feel. Airliners on the other hand, being a lot heavier are far less affected by turbulence and I wonder if turbulence in the sim is more optimised for airliners than GA. In real life, you probably wouln't be flying GA in or around thunderstorms - even airliners try to avoid them as much as possible.

For someone who is not that familiar with the geography of all the US national parks, please could someone give me a few airports close by to explore some of them from (or even all of them if someone has enough time :) ). I would be very grateful and guess that there are quite a few non US flyers who would fin this of help.

Yeah Rhett, I also learned to fly on 152s and 172s and the sim versions are way twitchier than they are in the real world (they are both pretty docile in real life other than the 172 is a fair bit heavier on the controls). I can't really say much about airliners as I rarely fly them in the sim and never flown one in real life (other than a full motion 737-500 simulator)

I've had 4 different controllers since the release of msfs and always found with all of them, settings at -70%, -80% and even -90% are needed in most cases. Even with these settings it's hard to get the sensitivity right. Too low and there is insufficient deflection for certain manouvres and too high just makes aircraft too twitchy to even land. I would have expected most controlers to need a small adjusment from the default zero, but that has never been the case for me with all the controllers I have used.

With over 40 years of real world flying experience and ovre 35 years of flight simulation, the tool didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. It did however provide a lot of information that would be useful for those that are newer to simming or simply don't have the time for all the research and tweaking that I have. I would therefore recommend it for those who maybe have a bit less experience, knowledge or time as it would be prety useful. It may even come up with a few ideas or suggestions that a few moer experienced users might like to try or test.

Nope, preset K and DLAA

Not sure, but I use dlss swapper to do it anyway. At least then I know that I have them if the Nvidia app does not apply them. I also check by ticking the box in dlss swapper to display on screen which version I am running (though you can do that in the registry if you are familiar with that).

DLLS Swapper is the easiest way but you can google dlss 3.10.7, download the dlss and dlssg files and stick them in the content folder of msfs. Simislandpilot does explain that if you don't use the right settings in the nvidia app, that it will over-ride and revert to dlss 3.10.6 though. (I wouldn't worry too much as I've noticed no difference using either).

Just a litle but enough to tip me over the edge in New York and London with addons. Hard to be exact as it changes in each scenario, but2 or 3% would be ballpark ish. Not something you need to worry about with a 5090 though.

Fully agree I use DLAA and preset K is better for me (i've tried L & M). One of the problems with preset M is that it uses a bit more VRAM and with only 16 gb on my 5080 I am marginal in a few places (admittedly using very high settings and VRAM hungry addons (but once you have seen the eye candy, you can't unsee it). I also find any frame generation doesn't seem to play well with DLSS (for me anyway- and I need the extra FPS to give me smooth head tracking). As for the dlss and dlssg files, I've not noticed any difference between 3.10.7 and 3.10.6 so far though I'm sure Islandsimpilot will do an analysis of frametimes, 1% and 0.1% lows, etc. So I will wait to see if he finds anything - I have watched his initial video above.

It's usually the older stuff. ASOBO's more recent photoscenery is a lot better where TIN has been used. They have redone a few areas with the newer method, but whethr they will redo all of it is another matter. Probably have to buy MSFS2028 for that.

Flightsims have always taken a long time to koad, especially with lots of addons. I usually do a bit if web browsing whilst mine is loading It does seem though at certain times of day though that workd data takes a lot longer to load, but not sure if that is down to MS servers being very busy or my ISP is slowing down during peak periods.

Just checked. Using the following: Samscene NY City Times v 2.2 RK Bridger NY Bridges v 5.0 RK Bridger Newark Bridges v 4.0 SU 5 (main release) Definitel only seeing one Brooklyn Bridge. Hope that encourages you to get NY Bridges. The only thing I would say is that the latest version of Samscene NY is very high on VRAM usage though I can resolve that by truning down my settings a bit (though I would rathr accept a few stutter than do that - the older 2020 version is much better on VRAM).

I will try to double check it for you tomorrow if I get the time.

Pretty sure I had that issue at one point but don't seem to have it with the latest version of this scenery and msfs2024.

I disabled the default Meigs and am using guillermozulueta's version along with drzewieckidesign's Chicago Landmarks and am having no issues at all doing this.

I'm using RKBridger's New York and Newark bridge packages with MS2024 and it seems fine to me. I recall that there may be a double bridge somewhere or another but I haven't noticed any major issues (though I may not have looked that closely to be honest.

I've just purchased Milwaukee (KMKE) which is free (cost £0.00) from their website, but it requires the inibulds installer to install it. I'm a bit wary of using this as I have no idea what it does, how it does it or if it installs various pieces all over my system or my msfs installation. Are there any other solutions? Does anyone else have the inibuilds installer or can verify how it works, what it does and how safe it is?

USA again. What about the rest of the world ASOBO?
