Yeah I noticed they may not be needed when I added some custom scenery and saw the roads had a near perfect fit with P3D's roads. Do you have any knowledge about how lakes and rivers look with and withouht UTX, default they can be a bit blocky/jagged but maybe that's the same even with UTX ?

@bendead I feel like the planes in MSFS doesn't really want to fly, the flight model just seems off, I know there are some good addons, and a user on flightsim.to named MGouge makes some fantastic edits which makes the aerodynamics on the default planes a lot better.
I played X-plane 11 extensively and the planes just wanted to fly, the same with Aerofly, but MSFS default is like flying a rock in my opinion. P3D is much closer to the feel I am used to from other simulators.
Mind you I'm not a real world pilot so my thoughts are just based on how I think the sim should feel with the experience I have from other sims. MSFS does have the upper hand with their satellite image streaming, but now you can do the same in both AeroflyFS4 and X-plane 12, so now it eventually comes down to what gives you the feeling of actually flying, and I think P3D does a pretty good job there.

The P3d Military options and add ons is what keeps me going back. Like AI carriers, VLSO, and VRS Tac Pac, to name a few.

My thoughts, too. Would V12 be another cost??

I thought there used to be a default, ready to fly panel config in the FMC. Now it"s only cold and dark, long, and short.

Thanks, guys!

Hey, Clutch.Can you put the old drive into your new motherboard, in a different slot, and transfer everything over? 

like cloning it? 

After the USA update, has anyone noticed the wierd colored water around the Pearl Harbor area?  

I'll try that. Thanks!

Just try to revert to HF1. I did, and I can fly anywhere without stuttering problems!

Hello, Yves. How do you revert to HF1?

How did you revert to HF1??

MS assumes that you are going to crash and kill yourself.  The music is created for your funeral.

Surely there is a file somewhere containing the music or is it baked in to the exe?

I'm laughing so hard!! Now this is funny!!!

What I wonder, why do they even have Military Jets that don't, or can't do what they do?? Select a weapons loadout, land on a carrier, aerial refueling...and more.

All they do is fly, I guess.

Mike

That's exactly what I was wondering! 

Thank You very much!!

Mike

I guess I should rephrase my original post...what I meant to ask, is there a way to increase the maximum external view by 10 or 20%?? I know how to zoom out, I just wish you could get it to go a little further out, maybe through some config. setting?

Thanks for the responses!!

Mike 

Can you modify the default zoom, modify it through some config??

Thanks,

Mike 

The thing that I miss the most is carrier landings with Tac Pac, VLSO. AI carriers, and all of my awesome military jets!!!

Mike 

Hi, Stan. I have Windows 11 Pro. Absolutely no adverse issues. Although my FPS are a little lower, not bad, though.

Mike 

Hey, Nyxx. I should check out the DCS version. But all I'm saying is that the Tac Pac version is better than what MSFS is marketing. That's a pretty useless model, as Chock's review. Glad it wasn't tempted to buy it, However cheap it is!!!

Thanks,

Mike.   

Hello, Chock. I follow a lot of you posts, very informative!! You mentioned the DCS version, but you didn't mention the Iris Warthog Gold version for P3D. It's "Tac Pac" capable of loading and firing weapons! Plus there are about 8 different paints, very realistic. plus, the pilot. My opinion is that MSFS shouldn't even market this, unless it can do what the plane is capable of. And if it's a civilian simulator, this plane should not even be available. 

Thanks for the honest review!!

Mike  

the latest version I have is 2.9.3.6

I'm at 305 hours. My question is...does every 100 hours mean ,or get you anything?

Always wondered.

Thanks.

Mike   

This may help you...with my Logitech 5.1 surround, there are different modes for the speakers, I have to make sure the front center speaker is on, seems that that's where the ATC is coming from. If not, I get the same "muted" ATC issue!!

Mike 

Do you mean if crash detection is turned off, the road traffic is different? 

Nothing to do with that, I mean in general, observe the road traffic...Tractor trailers and cars bounce off things and whip into different directions!!  

Hello, While I do love the scenery in this sim, why haven't they addressed the funny road traffic? Fly Tampa does a great job, like their KLAS for example.

I guess some day.

Thanks,

Mike.  

This error drove me absolutely nuts for about 4 months!! I Tried every possible fix, googled every possible cause and fix, including editing the registry and so on, and on!! Finally, it was my 2070 video card was failing. It was tested by an expert that is Microsoft certified. In the end, I replaced that, and my processor to the SAME brand, instead of mixing components. That fixed everything, and I haven't had any errors or crashes or any problems at all!!

Just my experience. So maybe test you video card first?

Thanks.

Mike

Oh, and I average 78 to 90 FPS!!!  

Thank you, marsman!! That's it? what about the other thumbnail folder?

Thanks!

Mike
