  1. Been months since logging a flight on MS2020, but I can't wait for MS2024. I don't believe in pre-release purchases but am going to have to bend my own rules to make this one exception. Aviator Edition it is then.
  2. I hear you. Spent a bit of time trying to make it work for my setup. I even ignored distortions on the map and might have lived with ghosting in external view. But having cockpit instrumention all over the place was a show stopper. Will wait for FS24 if I can wait, otherwise upgrade my PC. In any case let's see how this mod evolves and if it gets official support.
  3. Would be very interested to know if this works. Noel, if you still have the mode installed and try this, can you please share your result? I went back to vanilla and am avoiding fiddle with it again.
  4. That is what I am saying. The previous CTD's I encountered were very obvious and easy to resolve. The two CTD's after installing this mod are not something I've seen before. Might try it again if I have enough time to spend hours and hours troubleshooting instead of simming.
  5. Well it was great while it lasted (some 30 minutes or so). Two different CTD's in quick succession. One related to a memory location and another referring to my graphics card. The only CTD I have had with MSFS before this were when plugging in or out a USB or Bluetooth device. Am out for now but will keep watch for developments in the space.
  6. So this partly works. Its great with one screen, but as as soon as I go multi-monitor, the issue returns. Its very strange as there is absolutely no screen tearing without fsr3 enabled. Guess I will just try to enjoy these new found frames on a single monitor for now and hopefully its improved in the future. Thanks for your help.
  7. Oooh there is a 0.70? I didnt see that. Will check it out. THanks for that.
  8. I was hoping this mod would help delay having to upgrade my modest [email protected] RTX 2070 pc. Without using an fps counter, I clearly see the improved quality and smoothness. But I can't seem to get rid of the extreme tearing that happens to cockpit instruments with the slightest movement of the aircraft and the whole aircraft when panning in external view. I have tried just about every combination of nvidia and in-sim settings, but its not going away. Have tried both 0.60 and 0.50 with the same result. Such a pity as I'm so close I can taste it.
  9. I am of the same opinion and asked about this in their discord, with no response. In saying that, Accuseasons is still pretty good. Am really enjoying seeing the changes as Autumn progresses in the northern hemisphere. I was initially a bit sceptical and got Bijan's. That worked fine but was still tempted to try out Accuseason's auto update feature. Also noticed Rex's engagement with the community and how active they were with their products. So got it when it was discounted. I am happy with it and will keep using it. But hoping to see updates that address seasonal changes to objects other than trees. Unless of course Asobo comes in with something better.
  10. I am an FSX guy myself but was blown away by the first few shots. Absolutely stunning. Built up areas not so much.
  11. Thank you for posting this. I am going to be embarking on this wonderful journey myself, although using FSX. All the best in your tour. Sam Mustafa
  12. Woohoo thank you very much HiFi. Although I'm a very satisfied AS2012 user, this will only make it better. For people complaining about the lack of responses here, perhaps it's fixes to your reported problems that's keeping them busy ;) Just an FYI from personal experience, there's a fantastic ticket based support system on the site. It's the best way to report issues.
  13. I don't see much replay value in Flight.There's the novelty factor at the moment. Once that wears out, the kids will move back to their favourite shoot em ups. The other day I logged in and all everyone was doing was crashing into one another. Fun? Yes, for 15 minutes. I didn't know what to do after that.
  14. I've given it 3 tries now but still can't go more than 10 minutes before giving up. FSX on max settings runs smooth on my system yet Flight struggles. Then there's so much else wrong with it, I don't even want to begin. Ive briefly flown 6 different aircrafts including a Stinson L5. I can't see how Flight's lifeless models come anywhere close to reality. On the other hand, many addon FSX GA's have a realistic feel to them. Each to their own I suppose.
  15. Same here. Ive given it a good workout but am afraid it seems headed alongside other titles parked on my pc ocassionally seeing the light of day. Having said that, I normally don't save demos and there being no way I'll be spending a $ on it in its current form, I am not so sure anymore. I could of course leave it for my wife to 'play' seeing that my previous attempts to get her interested in flightsim ended in her either getting too worked up about landings or plain restless in other phases. But again, she said Flight looked 'cartoonish'. Guess that would be the straw that breaks this camel's back....I honestly do believe however that Flight would make for a worthy 'Xplane for iPhone/iPad' competitor.Sam

  17. Thanks guys, I'll check these out.Cheers,Sam
  18. Ohh well, guess I'll just have to be happy with what we have at the moment.
  19. Hi,Like most true flight simmers, I like to add maximum realism to my flights. While we are spoilt for choice when it comes to weather, flight planning and ATC, I would really like to see a program dedicated to introducing failures. I have extensively used FS Passenger and more recently started using FS Captain. I think both programs do a good job of adding uncertainty through their failure modules. But alot of times when I'm doing GA VFR flights, I wish there were a program that would introduce the chance of a variety of random faliures without having to load up passengers and making announcements. Imagine how cool it would be to have a program that could simulate a wider range of failures than the standard few currently offered, and while I'm at it, what if it were capable of doing so based on aircraft type and your handling of the aircraft?I dont know, maybe there just aren't enough users to warrant the development of such a specific utility. But if there are, then I think developers behind FSP and FS Captain would be well-positioned to create something like this.Thanks for your time,Sam
  20. I was a long term user of Rex before switching to ASE and then AS2012. AS2012 textures are 2nd to none in my opinion. I went back and forth initially, but soon realized that AS2012 weather engine and textures are a class above. I often find myself flying above overcast weather with very few holes. This is something you can't get with Rex. There are no violent wind shifts and flashing sky. It's taken some patience to get where I am with AS2012 but it's all been worth it. I frequently use weather based textures for my flight plan and find the installation time much shorter than Rex. Having said that, AS2012 is not without some minor problems which I am sure the developers will fix if they can. Eg as others have also noted, I find it more resource intensive than Rex. But its not very noticeable on my system. With weather based texture installation, Shade and halo textures get overwritten, so I have to fix that each time. But as I said above, these are very small issues compared to the overall experience this fantastic utility has to offer. It remains to be seen what enhancements REX Essentials will offer over AS2012.Sam
  21. They couldn't have put it any more clearly. Its official, the hardcore simmer was never among the target market. Nevertheless I will give it the 20-25 minutes it deserves. Then it's back to simulating 'the act of operating an airplane' on my beloved FSX.
  22. Love the new colors! Thanks,Sam
  23. Lame and stupid, 2 words that come to mind after seeing that pathetic excuse for a flightsim video. Makes u wonder if MS is operating in a vacuum where they think they dictate what consumers like. Being able to identify your target market is not rocket science, especially after having successfully released 10 titles over 30 years. So how could they get it so wrong? Would love to find out the inside story someday....Sam

    Really appreciate your prompt reply Travis. After briefly trying out the demo and reading through the detailed documentation, I was convinced that within its category like Aivlasoft EFB, this addon was way ahead of anything on the market today. So I couldnt hold off and just got it off simmarket for a bargain price of $27 :Drooling:Thanks again,Sam
