ActiveSky FS Released
spearmint_flyer replied to DMullert's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Just viewed his stream. Ended it with uninstalling ASFS and called it a “ waste of time” Really looking for some positive feedback before bitting the bullet. -
ActiveSky FS Released

Someone, please walk me through how the transitions are working! Very excited to see how this works. -
Active Sky coming to MSFS
spearmint_flyer replied to carlanthony24's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Early in FSX and P3D, yes. However later on with P3D and AS Force, we had fronts. It was a major selling point of upgrading from Active Sky Next and Evolution. From what I remember in the later versions of P3D they had jerry rigged the weather engine to provide additional “layers” of weather that allowed for transitions of the current weather, seamlessly. This all changed of course with the integration of TrueSky, because of it being a global volumetric cloud system and you couldn’t do things like towering clouds. Back then I remember they played with the transition model of volumetric clouds. All they had control over was the slowing of the transition. Which combined with no transitions over the descent phase allowed for a low amount of awareness that it was transitioning. I remember it being noticeable for me the same way that I would always look at a scratch on my phone screen after I spot it. Other than a lack of lightning I really have a hard time finding a low variance of weather systems with the MSFS weather engine. I can clearly see fronts and weather systems when I leave them and enter others. I’ve seen icing and see the snow on the ground accumulate. The only complaint I have “which Seb acknowledged on the last dev update “ was the lack of towering clouds up the to stratosphere and lightning . It seems to me that the audience for this is clearly the historical weather community, the local flyer, the person that doesn’t mind the “preset” based weather who may not mind setting things up and changing them up for a new flight. For me at this point it’s not seamless enough. So I’ll see when it releases -
Maybe something management can discuss to fill the position. It’s wasted real estate space on the webpage that if used would bring additional traffic. I have some ideas.

January 11, 2024 MSFS Development Update
spearmint_flyer replied to David Mills's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
That never works for me. I've cleaned the shaders and on the very next flight it happens to me. -
Forget all the “we need” I need them to optimize their airports they've already published. Take the JFK version. Compared to the Drzweicki EWR airport I get. 30% decrease in performance. Compared to other major hubs such as LatinVFR Miami its the same performance drop and stuttering mess. This is on a RTX4080 with FG and a AMD7900X3D.

spearmint_flyer replied to David Mills's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I like how an issue for MSFS 2020 ontbr DX12 Beta is now being shown as fixed for MSFS2024? Like what? What does that mean? Good luck to us in MSFS2020? -

iniBuilds Dubai released
spearmint_flyer replied to Tuskin38's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
This is the thing with inibuilds in house scenery. So word not allowed heavy in performance. No matter how much one removes their extra eye candy. I compare KJFK to KEWR by Drzweicki. Night and day performance even tho they are literally in the same area. Even with Photogrammetry off and low traffic the latency is pretty bad at KJFK. -
From their 2024 Roadmap email. It is with great pleasure we announce the iniBuids, no-so-secret project, the iniBuilds A350 Airliner. With launch expected in 2024, we have a truly exciting year ahead! The abvove is a highly WIP preview, but we wanted to show you something rather than just words! (please do not over analyze the image We plan to have both the -900 and -1000 variants available, with both winglet types on the -900. https://d3k81ch9hvuctc.cloudfront.net/company/RAJcpk/images/c834135d-64d6-4d23-b89c-07561adb753d.png

Maxed out settings but not good graphics
spearmint_flyer replied to thegreek's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Also use caution when setting sharpening to zero if using DX12. It will cause your screen to flicker. -
Night Lighting and Night sky
spearmint_flyer replied to Benbo's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Well yeah! I don’t understand these forums sometimes. You start a new thread and some will say “use search before you post. You may find an answer.” Now it’s why are you bumping and old thread that relates to what I am inquiring. -
Night Lighting and Night sky
spearmint_flyer replied to Benbo's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I upgraded to an Odyssey ARK from a 49-inch LG CX TV. While I am enjoying the better refresh rate, the appearance of the blobs of light as stars have become highly apparent. I’m unsure why, but it’s pretty evident that this image has been stretched. It used to be an extraordinary night sky to look at. I am going to continue playing with some settings to see what I can do to remediate it. -
Wasn’t there big controversy about them faking a lot of the repos? Thought some owners came forth saying producers made it seem like it was sensationalist and used their planes in exchange for a small usage fee. .

Multiple airports in a 8NM radius
spearmint_flyer replied to spearmint_flyer's topic in PSXseeconTraffic for FSX | P3D | MSFS
Thank you. That’s what I figured. Just wanted which ones to focus on. -
Good day everyone. I’m trying to determine how to set my settings to better suit flying into NYC. When ever I’m flying out of JFK I constantly have issues with performance. I noticed that the injector was taking into account traffic from EWR and LGA. Both which have a very large influx of aircraft. Changing the injection radius to 4NM immediately brought back acceptable performance. My question is what we can do to improve performance automatically even one lands in an airspace like this? Thanks, Al.

Yet another A320??? LOL!!!
spearmint_flyer replied to ahmede19's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Purposes of the forum is to discuss things. Anyone who is getting “annoyed” to have a healthy debate on a forum has to evaluate what they're doing on the forum in the first place. The topic may have been discussed all already at length so the only “cause for pause” I have is that OP could have simply searched more in depth and then had his answer or reply to one of those topics. I sense there is a certain ownership from some of the participants on this topic that are stating “this is a BS topic” and almost scoulding the OP as if he were a troll or a child. Anyone of us has the right to ask questions. Have an opinion or their own. We shouldn't be so acutely focused that we only care about topic a that we feel good about. Mods have the responsibility to choose of a topic is similar to other topics and merge them. Not shutdown a persons curiosity because it somehow “annoys” an other person. Let's play nice. Participate if you choose. If you don't move on.
