Traffic Global Early Access Update now!
Dave_YVR replied to craigeaglefire's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
They are about 2 years old, even then it's still miles better than the same 1 return flight every day that each aircraft flies in TG. Slightly old is one thing, fictional is another. -
NVME and SSD
Dave_YVR replied to ducaud's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
It always makes way more sense to install the OS on the fastest drive that you have at the time. The only thing you might benefit from the sim being on a faster drive is slightly better load times. Read your motherboard manual to find out what specific impact your M.2 drives will have on your PCIe bandwidth. -
No, they are very different issues. You can run out of vram all day long and never have a dxgi error and you can have dxgi errors and not be anywhere close to running out of vram. Some users get both while many others don't have issues at all. I've had a few dxgi errors when v5 first came out but none since and have never have problems with vram.

How do I get the AI to fly under 2000 ft?
Dave_YVR replied to Tuxie93's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
You wouldn't be filing IFR at 500ft as it's below any usable IFR altitudes. If you want 500 or lower, then just go VFR. -
Some but not all AI traffic at Miami
Dave_YVR replied to Steamgamer189's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
All Live Traffic or UT Live? -
What is going on with FlightBeam KDEN? -- SOLVED!
Dave_YVR replied to styckx's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
There's a sticky on FB's KDEN forum page. -

Dave_YVR replied to styckx's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I use the Steam version and my FB and ORBX installs are ALL in the Community folder. -
My biggest problem with AI airplanes!
Dave_YVR replied to sd_flyer's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I'm not going to fugly up my MSFS like TG did with P3d. I'll prefer to keep the default AI and wait for freeware which will most likely be sooner than having to pay for a traffic addon. -

Check your aircraft assignments in UTL vs what you are expecting to see. While there are lots of Cargo operators in UTL, there's no FedEx or UPS by default and many other airline liveries you need to add and assign yourself. -
His vram usage is probably just fine, for some reason many lump DXGI errors in with VRAM issues which they are quite different.
-
Yup, it's got some bugs and they'll get worked out soon enough. A good idea though is to learn to actually fly first so you don't have to rely on the autopilot to do everything.

Where is MSFS 2020 stored on the drive?
Dave_YVR replied to Sky_Dancer's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
It gives you the option of where to install. Sure your AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator will have some data to it, but most is stored elsewhere. I installed mine to K:\Microsoft Flight Simulator. -
Challenging call with Default KORS and Orbx KORS
Dave_YVR replied to Skywolf's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
The default KORS looks good from above, but on the ground its just so bland compared to the ORBX version. Night and day. -
(14) HOurs Later and No FS
Dave_YVR replied to HC1Gunner's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Initially I had issues on the install/download until I ran the installer as an admin and after that it was all up and running great in about 80-90 mins. -
Not sure what world you live in, but as mentioned over and over again, it's very common and it's done frequently.

Almost 28 years now in ATC, I guess I've been doing it wrong this whole time. 🙄
-
Say what? ATC is responsible for terrain separation when issuing ANY altitudes or vectors when on an IFR clearance. In the sim however, not so much.
-
No, of course not but it had nothing to do with the 7900 altitude assignment, or any other non even thousand altitude. I wouldn't and couldn't expect either the default or payware ATC to know every minimum IFR altitude including MRVA's. The default ATC has never known much about mountains and terrain clearance. The point was more the fact that your comment about "Never in the history of aviation has an aircraft been asked to climb to or descend to some random altitude like 7,800. Never. " is a wrong assumption. How do you know it's random? I'm not arguing the fact that it was too low, thats clearly obvious but odd altitude clearances are issued all day every day worldwide, they just have adequate IFR terrain separation.
-
Not true at all. It all depends on the minimum IFR altitude applicable for where the aircraft is. MRVA's for instance are rarely at even altitudes as are most other Min IFR alts.

It's only 8 million more pixels being refreshed 30, 60 or more times per second. It's going to have some effect on performance. 🤔

Accidentally deleted c:/user/documents folder- p3dv4.5
Dave_YVR replied to ryanairpisa2012's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
Also try not to let installers install full products into the Documents folder, create a specific folder of your choosing. I have a few hundred addon's in both my v4 and also v5 and the Documents folder is still under 50mb for each sim. -
Installation outside Prepar3D v5 folder not possible?
Dave_YVR replied to Dirk98's topic in Gates Learjet 35A
Even if you do have to update or uninstall/reinstall P3d, the uninstaller only removes P3d files and not those that were installed by other products. It's not really a big deal.
