Did you OC your 12900K? 13900K? I’m in a similar situation with my 12900K (5.2ghz) and wondering if I need to pull the trigger on the 13900k.

Thanks - that makes it easy, the TDS is the one for me. Appreciate it.

Wow, you guys sold me on this plane. Nothing like having a solid, capable plane to fly in MSFS. Recommendations on PMS50 vs the TDS GTNXi? Any major differences?

Yes.

For what it’s worth….Just bought a new PC a month ago i9 12900k EVGA 3080TI Lian Li 011 Case 32GB DDR5 6000 hz 1000w PS Lian Li SL120 fans Never have seen below 50 FPS (locked) using that exact same monitor running 3440 x 1440. I also overclocked to 5.2GHz and temps between 40-60 when using MSFS. All the normal payoff aircraft/scenery.

Fly Tampa Boston, Latin VFR FLL and Vegas (Flytampa).

Yes to payware scenery, no AI traffic, only AIG for Vatsim.

For what it’s worth, I’m getting 50+ FPS (locked) on the ground at JFK in the Fenix, running the cockpit displays on the integrated CPU graphics. 2K (3440x1440) with Ultra/High settings. 150 LOD Terrain. 100 Objects. 100 Render Scale. Now that graphics card prices are coming down, it made sense for me to invest in a new computer and what a great decision it has been so far.

I never understand some people and their perspective. PMDG and other developers keep this small hobby of ours alive and thriving - without third party developers working hard to bring these new add ons to life, our little hobby is done. Complain all you want but my attitude is appreciative of their efforts to keep things moving forward. You don’t like them? Fine don’t buy it but don’t complain and insult people that are making a difference in this hobby? What the hell are you doing to help this hobby? Rant over.

Hi all, Can’t seem to figure out this puzzle - this happened in P3D but affecting any sim. Had some CTDs happen so I installed the latest Nvidia driver (and deleted P3D cfg). I always use full screen mode (P3D, Xplane, MSFS) and use 2k resolution in the sim (2560 x 1440) but after the update, now I get black boxes in full screen mode, which doesn’t take up the full screen. Nothing else changed - monitor the same, display port, no windows update. The only difference is a new driver. If I switch to the 2k resolution (from the native 3440x1440) in Nvidia control panel, I get the same non-full screen view with black boxes. Going into the settings to change aspect ratio, I can override it to “full screen” but then the image is stretched and it’s not crisp/proportional to the monitor. I have a 1080TI with this monitor (https://www.lg.com/hk_en/monitor/lg-35wn65c-b) but can’t figure out why this changed all of sudden. Tried to roll back to previous drivers, three different ones in fact but still same issue. appreciate it if anyone has any thoughts on this - thanks!

Not claiming to know all the answers.....this approach they’ve taken is not going to lead to progress. Says you 🧐 I think if all of us took a glass half full approach we would be a lot more civil and helpful instead of always complaining.

Oh man, if I had a dollar for every expert that knows all the answers.... Progress, not perfection.

Had it happen to me last night. I use ForeFlight connected to MSFS and it would typically show about a 500ft difference in Altitude than what my plane was showing (29.92 alt). It would change the altimeter like it was “catching up”. For what it’s worth, it was in the Aerosoft CRJ.

I don’t get your point. Are you saying flying those procedures are any different between sims? Autopilot is not required to fly any of that. You can fly any unpublished hold, without gps.

Go into your CFG file, find HDR=1 and change to HDR=0. HDR is now off, although Auto Exposure still will be on.

Turning on cloud reflections on the water fixed it for me.

Same here

Using this integration, it seems to stutter when connected. Is this the same issue the Vatsim client is experiencing with slowness?

I’m a real world pilot and I chose FS over X-Plane. 🤯

Am I delusional as well in that I have no stutters and have been averaging 40-50 FPS? Seems to be working just fine many people. Stop stirring up drama.

Thanks for starting this thread - its nice to see some optimism and positive thoughts around here. I am loving this new sim, runs great, looks outstanding and I’m excited and thankful for Microsoft for giving this hobby a renewed future.

The simple matter is this, IMO, is going to be the future sim for all of us for years to come. No other simulator has come close to what MSFS offers when you look at the big picture. Of course there will be problems at launch and probably 6 months from now. Go buy it and make your own onion. We all use this simulator quite differently and no review will be perfect for how you use it. It's $60 - about the cost of two payware airports. Go out and try it. Support the future of flight simulation as a hobby.

Definitely was a monitor calibration issue - appreciate all the help!

Makes sense - thank you. I’ll check the monitor and see how I can get it calibrated. 👍
