Well, yeah... each time I hear about UFOs I kind of tend to think 'DISTRACTION' for some reason... 😉

@filou never ceases to amaze me with his gorgeous screenshots!

Whaaa? I posted a thread that it seemed close some... months ago...(?). Have we finally arrived?! This is an instabuy for me.

Only played for maybe a couple of hours yet, but I have to say I am slightly underwhelmed. For some reason the world doesn't feel that big. I keep getting the feeling of jumping from fishbowl to fishbowl.

Yeah. It sure seems to be badly optimized. Out in open areas, I got stuttering with a 4090. Bonkers.

Anyone got this? I jumped on the upgrade offer but haven't got the time to dig in to it TBH.. 😅

If I just run MSFS and nothing else then CCD0 seems to more or less be the only chiplet in use (according to HWINFO CCD1 gets some 0-5% usage now or then. Especially if I start a web browser and type this). However if I fire up other apps (such as Navigraph, OnAir/Neofly or a web-browser) CCD1 will awaken and be used. I could also set affinity for certain apps for CCD1 and CCD1 will be used despite me using MSFS. Sure, there probably will be some spill-over at times when MSFS processes populate even CCD1. Can't say I've noticed it though. Smooth and fluid and atm enjoying an average CPU temp of 63 deg C after two hours in the PMDG 737. So, to answer your question. Yes, they tend to be parked. But in no way, shape or form are they disabled (which to my non-native English means 'completely unavailable'. Which they of course are not).

I've always liked Koenigsegg. Even though I'd never afford even the rear view mirror of their cheapest car even if I work until I am 200 years old. 😅

Whoa! He must have beefed up the suspension on the car quite a lot. What does one of those things weigh? 2000lbs? EDIT: And I love how it has... 'decorated'... the car during the ride.

Well, in addition to great sim performance I was after good multi threaded dito. The 7950x3d absolutely stomps the 7800x3d in this regard. No contest. So for me, the choice was easy. EDIT: And, no. The 7950x3d does not turn into a 7800x3d when gaming. The non-cache cores are not disabled at all. I use them frequently while simming.

Yeah, I am not all that impressed either to be honest. Would really like V6 to take off but with the rather anemic support from 3rd party devs I don't really see that happening. Still liking my v5.4 and using it quite often, before the choir starts kvetching about trolls and such.

I went with the Lian-Li 011 Dynamic Evo for my 7950x3d (cooled by a 360 AIO and with a -15 CO) and 4090. Replaced the front glass panel with their mesh one as I was planning on installing more case fans. However temps have never been an issue for me so I have delayed installing said fans. Went with a motherboard with 4 M.2 slots as I decided to ditch SATA altogether. OS on one M2. MSFS on it's own. P3D/XP shares one M2 and the last is dedicated to the Steam library. My CPU as I write this (while flying the PMDG 737-600 in MSFS) has a temp om 63 dg C. GPU at 55. Very happy with the build to say the least.

This is absolutely adorable. You, sir, are a sure champion of 'cApiTalism' (or however you spelled it in your effort to discredit me). The articles I so 'conveniently ignored' didn't talk about AI or automation now did they? Hence they were totally irrelevant to my argument. I will humor you, though. The WEF one was very short, but with a nice graph I suspect impressed you greatly (be sure to subscribe to their newsletter for updates on their 'Agenda'). The other one seemed to try to explain supply and demand. We all know about supply and demand. How, exactly, did these articles nullify my stance about AI and the fact that automation will, undoubtedly benefit the 0.1%? You called my position 'nonsense' after all? You also speak about obsolete professions. AI seems to be on the verge (at least according to the believers) to make many obsolete. What will all those 'obsolete' people do for a living? The combustion engine replaced the horse, and people learned to drive (your analogy). When robots do all the 'menial' things, what is left? Do you see any kind of societal hazard in this situation or do you think everyone will be happy with their UBI-check?

The societal problem is not that people (the 'working' and 'middle class') have excess money each month. It is good to have something saved for later. We are talking about people that already have a 1000ft yacht with a helipad (when they urgently need to get to the next holiday resort, I mean very, very, very important business meeting). Jeff Bezos doesn't care if his employees have time for bathroom breaks during their shifts. He would rather they'd be given a small government check (also known as UBI) each month and have robots deliver his garbage. It would significantly increase his already obscene earnings. These are the people benefitting from this idiocy, not you and I.

But I rather have the conductor keep his or her job to be honest. At least here in Sweden it seems to be quite the nice job to have. As previously stated; removing these people from their jobs will not make your trip cheaper but the fat cats fatter. They simply don't need more fat. I can give you a personal example. One of my kids is six years old. We went on a three hour train trip last week. He was elated. Even before the trip he wanted to be a conductor but when he saw the train pull up to the station he was beaming. He asked me if he one day could drive one of those trains. I would like him to have that opportunity. It's a respectable job to have and to aspire to.
