    Are all the performance cores running at 5.5Ghz?  

    Sorry for the late reply.  Yes I actually have both P and E cores running.  P all @ 5.5Ghz, E cores @ 3.9Ghz.  I've been told I can lower my temps even more if I disable the E cores, which makes sense and can probably get a higher clock speed, but at this point I just haven't had time to do so.

    I'm planning to upgrade if my current CPU continues to falter.  My Phanteks case I see has space for 3 fans up top (there are two 120mm fans currently installed) so I'm guessing that is where an AIO cooler should go.  What should I expect in terms of temps at load in MSFS with a 13900K cooled with a good cooler?  Would I need to do any custom overclocking, or just rely on turbo modes or what have you?  If my 9900K holds out til Raptor Lake Refresh arrives I would go there very likely.   AMD is still an option but just unfamiliar with them personally.

    Cheers

    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.

    Iam looking at this combo for next upgrade very soon ( no GPU upgrade until prices come down ), anybody got a similar setup ?, Flying  mostly the  FSL bus, sometimes QW 787 and PMDG 777 with all the usual/ must have  add-ons , thanks guys 

    I just upgraded to a 12900K, Asus Z690-F MD, 32G Gskill DDR5, with a 3080.  I mainly fly PMDG NGXu, 777 and 747, ORBX, ActiveSky, Rex Skyforce.  Haven't dipped below 60 FPS yet, but I'm always conservative with my settings and runn a 4K Monitor so no real need for Super Sampling.

    Hi all,

    Today I upgraded my front view server to a 12900 K /  Asus ROG Strix Gaming D4 / 32 Gb 4266 mhz cas 16  ( already had a R`TX 3090 ).

    Anyone using a 12700 K / 12900 K and might share his config for the cpu ? It has fast P-cores and slower E-cores. How to set them up so it is best for MSF`S ?

    Thanks in advance.

     

    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.

    Reviews of Alder Lake-S have started going up ahead of launch. Gaming performance is very solid overall, however Microsoft Flight Simulator seems to be one of the few games where Zen 3 is on par or doing better on average.

    For those who want to go with an Alder Lake build, it might be best to wait and see whether Asobo can optimise further for the big.LITTLE architecture.

    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.

    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!

    Flying to Dollywood Leg 1 | KTAN Taunton, MA to KGKT Frederick, MD | MSFS | Multiplayer ✈️👨‍✈️ http://twitch.tv/ericflight

    Starting around 12PM EDT (1600z)

    Feel free to join MSFS East Server and/or VATSIM

    Hah! Never thought anyone would fly from Taunton.  I used to live a couple of miles from that airport for 18 years.  Nice strip!

    Hello,

    Since the new update, the behavior seem to have changed a bit. When I use the mouse to look around in the cockpit, the game stops responding to joystick inputs, until I release the right mousebutton again.  Anybody else have the same thing?

    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.

    A mod that let you play ground services and drive the tug in MSFS. When someone called ground services, you would answer , go to the gate and push the aircraft back. I know it's silly. and probably have very little people interested in doing that but hey. That's why it's silly. 

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Live Weather Fix:

    Spawn with preset 'Clear Skies'. Sitting at the gate, change to 'Live Weather' via the top menu. Takes a second or two and live weather will be loaded.

    Works every time for me for the last 100 hours of simming. 

    When changing location, you need to restart the sim and proceed as above.

    Weather is getting better (meaning more real) all the time. It is a work in progress, for sure, but they will eventually get there!

    Happy New Year!

    This right here.  Always worked for me as well.
