Some genius modder went and fixed our clouds
OK, I'm going to get slated by some here, but I'm going to say it... apart from some occasions, where yes, I will agree the clouds don't look good, but most of the time IMO, they look fantastic! I mean, I have often had to pick my chin off the floor because it looks so good. OK, I use REX Atmos, which does a really nice job with illuminance on the clouds themselves, and adds some really nice work on the haze and atmosphere, but if it takes a paid mod to work it's magic, then great! Like everyone else, yes, it would be great if Asobo got their act together and worked on some different cloud textures apart from just, effectively, cumulus, but when I think of the clouds in FSX and P3D, I feel so grateful. I think many of us, me often included, forget just how beautiful 2024 looks most of the time. My only gripe, and it is a big one, is that I feel peeved that Asobo spend so much time addressing things that most simmers are not that bothered about, rather than concentrating on some of the hard core niggles that so many of us have shouted about.

Hmm, odd one. Are you saying, if you select a specific gate to start a flight, it does so not aligned? This is odd.

What addons have you purchased since FSim UK 2026?
Well, I have been a naughty boy, as I can attribute not just addons, but also hardware to my visit to the show. On seeing the Moza 737 MCDU on their stand, I was sold. Also the RotAir panel from Simflight Services also tempted me. I bought both these units to help support my 'new to be built' MIP for my cockpit. Since the show I also bought Flightbeam's KSFO, Vertical Sim's KPVU (both are beautiful) and four small bush strips from Backwood Studios. All these were a great buy in the recent Contrail sale! It's surprising how a sim show can stir up enthusiasm!

Sure, I just thought you may have had an initial impression, maybe good or bad on a first flight. I’ll buy it anyway, as it gives me a nice location in an area of the US that I need. Being Inibuilds of course is the icing on the cake!

LOD distance reduced SU7?
I have to say, I had used the LOD app in 2020, but after moving to 2024, ironically, I never really tried it. Unfathomable? Yes, because it did quite a good job in 2020 forme. Only a few days ago did I reinstall it and save a profile for flying my 738. I set ground level to 80 LOD, then something like 120 at 500ft, and two more settings until 15000ft and set that at 400 LOD. The ground looked fantastic! I have to do some continual tweaking to get the best from it, but I am so pleased so far.

APRONLIFE, give life to airports
Clearly I have done something wrong, even on low settings with a reduction on other sliders too, I get a massive hit on performance. I mean, massive, 30-40%! Unsure why, but I promise you it's there.
