new LPMA madeira
GentleGroove replied to micstatic's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
LPMA is my home airport and this is an absolutely beautiful scenery, finally glad to move on from Amsim. However, once installed it seems to make pushback tugs disappear in the entire sim, in every airport. Have notified the developer about this possible bug, waiting for feedback. -

Fenix A319 & A321 release next week
GentleGroove replied to Fiorentoni's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
@FNX_Dave thank you for your article, lots of useful and interesting info. A question, any idea when Simbrief profiles will be available? Looking forward to start configuring some registrations... 😉 -
I bought the entire 32F family for P3D and despite being somewhat pricey, I've never regretted it. They were fabulous aircraft and some of my favourite addons. That said, if they released them for MSFS now, I don't think I would make the investment as I am very happy with the Fenix. On the other hand, a neo variant (especially a 321) would be an instant purchase, as I don't find any of the current offerings interesting. That said, the whole tone of the thread is a bit disconcerting. Yes, they certainly seem to be trying (in their very own way) to get closer to the customer, but the way they speak about their NDAs and their development process, one might think they are developing some revolutionary ultra secret weapon or a new miracle medicine instead of an addon for a home sim. And on top of that, they seem to view everyone as just too dumb to understand the "brilliance" of their strategy. If we don't consider the issue of deadlines (a very delicate topic in the sim community), has open communication ever harmed a developer in any way? To sum it up, as a prospective paying customer, the whole discourse just comes off as a bit too self-important and condescending.

Absolutely right, plus it's fun planning and carrying out full flights in the 321 when you have to play close attention to performance and underload. The A319 on the other hand allows you to go into fun places like Florence, Antwerp or San Sebastian... -
Is this the "Airliner" year ?

We must be the same age then 😉 Really looking forward to these three! -
Landscape Texture Anomaly

I wouldn't miss flying to France VFR's LFRB because of that... -
I've been simming for 20+ years. I started with FS98, then went in deeper with FS9. I skipped FSX altogether, then jumped straight into P3Dv4, and was amazed at what it could do and how it looked. When the first previews of MSFS came along, I found them spectacular, but was skeptical and cautious of how it would really work in terms of performance and gameplay. I ended up buying MSFS the week the Fenix was released. I took this step as a cautious approach, as I was pretty content with P3D and had a serious investment in terms of addons. The result? From the first day I launched MSFS I don't think I ever launched P3D again - that's how impactful the experience was for me. In the flight sim communities we have an unhealthy habit of focusing on the negative. Yes, some updates have been worse than expected, ATC still needs lots of work and some other things. But we forget many amazing things about MSFS - how good it runs out of the box (gone is the endless tweaking, unless you have unreal expectations regarding your rig), how good it looks, how it made scenery development and aircraft painting easier, leading to a huge boost in development, and many other things. And MSFS2024 seems to be a step in the right direction, improving many things So yes, Jorg and his team deserve praise - not only have they been developing a fabulous sim, they have been balancing that with keeping it profitable so that MS keeps its resources behind it. And that is essential if we want it to keep growing, it needs to be successful, not gatekeeping and becoming a niche hobby. In that respect, I think they have been doing great work.

Lossless Scaling settings...
GentleGroove replied to jcomm's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
With RTX 3080 - DX11, monitor refresh rate 120 Hz, FPS locked at 40 with RTSS, in-sim refresh rate set to 33%, within LSFG, scaling factor 2x and vsync enabled. Huge difference with the Fenix, which was my most critical addon - panning extremely smooth and stutters pretty much gone. -
Hi everyone I am using JouJou92's excellent GMME and GMMH freeware sceneries. However, both of them are now displaying a strange issue - both of them show a sort of "ghost" two-runway airport layout with taxiways and aprons: GMMH GMME The "ghost" layout has nothing to do with either airport (number of runways, orientation, layout, etc) and is exactly the same on both sceneries. And it's even stranger that I've had and used GMME for months and everything was normal until yesterday. Anyone has any idea on what causes this and how to fix it? Cheers
