conundrum

Might have had a crash or two creating the Manual cache, but it could have been due to impatience and not letting the program do it’s thing. If you want offline satellite imagery, then you’ll need to keep the Rolling cache on. But there’s no harm in toggling the Rolling cache on/off to see what effect it has. I am unsure if Rolling cache stores photogrammetry. The devs have merely stated it stores “World data”. But I didn’t get proper looking photogrammetry until I saved some in the Manual cache.

You can leave Rolling Cache on. Manual Cache is mostly photogrammetry related, so it shouldn’t affect any 3rd party stuff.

Manual cache is mainly downloaded photogrammetry. It’s a bit cumbersome to “paint”, but the end result works well for me. As long as your desired area has coverage, go for it. You don’t need to do anything further with the Rolling cache.

They’re still behind on preorders, although some shops have been queue jumping. You could get lucky.

I think you know that’s a different context. Something being useful and being adopted are two very different things. Flight sims are a category that takes a while to implement new tech, *especially* when it’s proprietary. M$ has even *less* incentive to provide resources toward DLSS then the other sims, when their other platform uses AMD, which doesn’t (yet) have a similar feature. (It can do ray tracing to a degree.) I’ve heard the “looking into it” thing from flight sim devs before, too. Asobo has a lot on their plate as it is. I stand by my reply.

DLSS is planned for MSFS? I’ll believe it when I see it. Flight sim devs are slow to implement new tech. Besides which, XBox uses Amd for graphics.

Unless you're really concerned with RTX and DLSS (effectively irrelevant for Flight sims), go with whichever of the two you can get.

Did you purchase outright, or using the Game Pass month to month sub? There are 3 versions: Standard, Deluxe, Premium The month to month sub is equivalent to Standard. Ignore any XBox vs Win10 naming, it’s all usable for Windows 10.

I can’t watch the video right now. Did he say it’s blurry, or are you basing that on the mirror view?

May be referring to this:

The IFT fighter is still unavailable on the Marketplace, so even if that is a rule, it hasn’t been bent.

What res do they use in sim currently?

Well then, it would have been relatively simple for them to include Canada in Tuesday’s world update. But I expect they are just getting each other confused. Jaynes forum post says USA.

Pretty sure Jayne referred to it as North America in today’s stream.

Still not sure why they changed the title to “North America” rather than “USA”.

So far, she seems to gloss over them.

Did you at least get to see one? I didn’t even get that.

See? Actually, even the pre-order partners for the US and Canada don't seem to have a clue when their units are coming. CDW seems to have shipped one, but they were charging more than the going rate.

I believe it's under NDA.

The ability to bring other programs in as a window or on a “tablet”. Eg. charts, moving map, 3rd party ATC.

OP stated it was already shipping, I simply corrected him. Some distributors don’t even seem to be aware of that notice. I don’t disagree with him or you about the timeline being missed. A game dev giving a “hard date” that isn’t met is par for the course. It’s basically right up there with “didn’t anticipate the demand”. At least HP isn’t using *that* excuse.

That I doubt. Again, not surprised about a delay.

So they’ve still got time to start the beta. Not too surprising about a delay.

It’s started shipping to distributors, not end users.

Not sure about the thread merging; but they’ve given SDK related topics, including liveries, their own set of forums. Good idea.
