65c max @5.5ghz with an Arctic 360 AIO. Was running it today on a 7 hour flight Narita to Honolulu. Ambient temp in the room I have my computer in was around 82F. My 13900k runs cooler than the 12900k I had.(changed it out because of bad memory controller traced back to cpu) forgot to add running a 4090 too. That thing gets toasty, but I have a good fan set up, so doesn’t affect overall computer temp.

Anyone went from GTX 1080ti to an RTX 3090 ?
DylanC replied to warbirds's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I went from a 1080ti w/intel 6700k, to a 3080 10gb with an i9 12900k and 32gb of ddr5. Awesome performance, also with a 4K monitor. imho current iteration of DLSS with the 3080 works well, solid 55-60 fps. Contrary to what some say, haven’t experienced blurry glass cockpit, but again might because of my 4K resolution. -
Curious as well. Bought the 12900K when it launched, was able to snag a motherboard, but have been held up trying to buy DDR5. Finally able to get it, but had to get it through Newegg and their Combo deals. Now I'm stuck with a second motherboard. Linus, Jayz2cents and Debauer have great videos showing how they've been able to play around with the P cores and the E cores.

Early look at Alder Lake performance in MSFS
DylanC replied to ChaoticBeauty's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
For many who are running older hardware (I'm running a 6700K), this test doesn't matter. The benefits far outweigh the negatives. I bought it (12900K) regardless. In fact many of the reviewers are already saying if you have anything less than a 9900K, this upgrade is worth it. In fact the I5 12600K looks like a sweet spot for budget gaming. -
Bonanza Turbo V4 -Su6 RELEASED
DylanC replied to robert young's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Hoping all is well Rob! We missed you around here. Looking forward to flying the Turbo again. -
Forget who it was, but someone in this chain suggested lowering Volumetric Clouds down to Medium and upping the cloud layers in Active Sky to 8. Wow! That did the trick and somehow increased FPS without compromising on the visual quality. Thank you for that tip!

Pre-Ordered the Ultimate Version the second it was announced. Big Forza fan here. Ordered at the MS Store.

Think if they had used two smoke stacks to try and imitate the legs of the Real Logan Airport tower, they would have charged $20 🤣

Joystick not working during mouse look
DylanC replied to cantremember's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
It’s a known bug unfortunately. Ways folks have gotten around it is configuring hat switch (if you have it) on joystick or assigning middle mouse button (called mid-click in MSFS) to Freelook. Freelook hold seems to be the issue with no other workarounds other than what I just pointed out. -
frame rate limit doesn't work
DylanC replied to motishow's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Have you also tried to limit your monitor to 30 FPS? -
I just thought of the silliest mods for MSFS
DylanC replied to fogboundturtle's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Not silly at all. Chock captured the response better than I could. But as someone who has worked in Management of all aspects of an Airline and Aviation services, this type of simulation may have mitigated so many safety incidents and aid in training. -
From my years working within Aviation, there have always been warnings issued to airlines and ground handlers to be cautious when working near an active 777 gate. The warnings always stated that in many cases a half to fully loaded 777 takes upwards of 50% power to begin its taxi. When I worked for AA, our mechanics routinely had briefings about this with the ramp and posted notams for all who traversed near a 777 gate. The mechanics would always caution even if the plane were empty, there is still some percentage of power needed for the 777 to move. This was to give caution against flying debris, or driving empty carts or LD3/6s behind a taxiing 777. All this to say I thought the friction model was pretty good for the PMDG 777.

Default vectors in P3D v5 is improved. EA also improves the lighting. You will be impressed going from P3D v3 to v5.

Bonanza Turbo Mod compatible with latest MSFS update?
DylanC replied to edpatino's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Just did another hour and a half flight, no issues to report. I did notice the white MSFS circle (lower right hand corner) going crazy for the first couple of minutes, but I would chalk that up to the custom scenery I had for the location I was in. Rob's Turbo Bonanza seems to have stood the test of time through out all of these updates and hot fixes. -
Bonanza Turbo Mod compatible with latest MSFS update?
DylanC replied to edpatino's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Flew fine for me this past weekend. Took it up for an hour and half flight with no issues. But have not tried it after the recent hotfix. I'll report back if I have any issues. -
As the title indicates, Chewwy doing a live stream right now of the PMDG 777 Pre-Release version. Link is here: https://www.twitch.tv/chewwy94

VSync and Frame limiting - has advice changed?
DylanC replied to Tork_Curve's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Ticking vsync in MSFS seems to work in similar fashion to half refresh rate. For me in particular if I’m in a densely populated area like New York and frames are getting hammered, setting my monitor in NCP to 30hz and setting frames to 60 hz and ticking Vsync in MSFS gives very smooth performance because it effectively has locked my frames down to 30. Although I downloaded the update yesterday, I haven’t flown around to see if it still works this way. -
Either way, I don't think you have much of a choice but to run without EA. Your RAM usage with EA on is a bit close to the CTD danger zone. Personally I like the EA effects, but your first screenshot looks better.

Do you still use P3Dv4 - v4.3 or already newer versions?
DylanC replied to Manschy's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
V5 as well. And of course have MSFS. -
If you absolutely have to set your monitor to 30Hz for smoothness, turn on Vsync in MSFS and make sure to set MSFS FPS to 60HZ. Yes MSFS Vsync is broken, but it seems to set half refresh rate for some users. Give it a try. Works for me if I need to do it on rare occasions if I happen to fly in a densely populated area, like NYC.

This right here. Always worked for me as well.
