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.

I've always had motion blur and lens correction off, FWIW to your question.  It happens to 2D windows whenever any zoom or panning is happening, which is an absolute show stopper.  As is well known by now for me 95% of the entire performance question is solved when you have near perfect frame time variance, zero stutters, at a minimum of 34-35 FPS.  Doubling frame rate to 68-70?  Adds 5% more value for my experience.  And...we're told by the team that 2024 will improve performance greatly, some of which will presumably be used to process new features, but a lot will just reduce processing loads if sliders are kept the same, and it seems quite likely on the CPU side w/ enhanced multithreading.

I joined you as well, deleted the mod which wasn't ready for prime time but worth keeping an eye on.

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.

Unfortunately the ghosting is also off the charts 🙃

I had ghosting / artifacts at the edges of the aircraft windows when on the ground, increasing as speed increased. I turned off motion blur and lens correction and that solved those issues for me. You might want to give it a try if you have them enabled.  

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.

USB and BT devices have nothing to do with this feature...

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.

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.

Have you tried 0.70 yet?

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.

Oooh there is a 0.70? I didnt see that. Will check it out. THanks for that.

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.

35 minutes is all it took. Pretty happy with that.

I feel like I have to write about this.  I don't understand why people are so up in arms about default exterior engine sounds.  The engine is very similar between the 850 and 930.  Additionally, there are numerous custom interior sounds which aren't even in the stock tbm.  It's not like it has C172 sounds or anything lol.

I understand sounds are important in addons and I too enjoy a quality soundscape.  But to not get the tbm because you read something about something about default sounds is a silly thing imo. There's soooo much more to the tbm that a few exterior default sounds.  I guess if you only sim from the exterior....ok maybe it's not for you.  The cockpit sounds and environment are the most immersive I've been in while flying in VR.  

Skipping the TBM 850 would be skipping a great addon!

Yes it could look silly to some to base their decision on what they have read on a forum, but how else do we make choices without having to buy everything? Forums, youtube videos, sim news sites...that's all one can go by. There's no trial or refund period that I am aware of. 

Like most here I suppose, I have quite a few addons that hardly see the light of day, so just trying to avoid adding more clutter in my virtual hangar. Also we are lucky enough to be in a position to choose as fairly similar aircrafts have landed all at the same time. Perhaps this might be a purchase for another day. Same goes for SWS PC-12.

I've been tossing up between them too, so thanks for making the decision easier guys. Takeaway for me, SWS PC-12 will not have failures on launch so that's definitely out. TBM 850 suffers from poor sound implementation. FSR500 is the worthy winner.

These people taught me the valuable lesson of not buying anything half made, they won't see another euro after skypark.

I agree. Have been hoping for an update to Skypark since forever. Made the mistake of buying Flow. People seem to like it but I haven't found much use for it. Not getting another gimmicky addon from this company.

I will continue to buy, but a lot more selectively. Previously my purchases sat unused for months before first use as I naively thought MSFS 2020 would be around for many years to come. MS2024 will definitely reduce my spend but not stop it entirely.

Your  limited  to  the  schedule  flights   so  you  cant  fly  to  any  airport  unlike newsky  in  which  you  can

Newsky is free which is great. However as they have explained on their site, is mainly geared towards airliners and I see many GA aircrafts such as Wilga, Zenith CH701 etc and helicopters missing.

A Pilot's Life is (almost) perfect for 1. and 2. But there is no airline management in APL (which is a plus for me because I am not interested in managing an airline at all.). If managing an airline is important for you, you have to look for something else though.

https://www.simbitworld.com/#APL

Just checked out A Pilot's Life website. I like their flight scoring system, its quite detailed.

Would anyone know if it allows you to use its scoring system with the freedom to choose your flights? So I started on a world tour a little while back (mainly <250nm legs with 700+ legs). I want a good performance rating app like FSPassengers to keep me on my toes without the rigidity of having to fly routes for one company. Basically I dont care for economics, management and progression. My focus is an application that rates you without jumping through the hoops. Its not clear to me reading their site if this would be possible. 

Thanks

FS Traffic and GSX; Two peas in a pod. Not going near them.

Excellent find.  I wouldn't have thought of that.  Thanks!

Great. Bugs out of the way, let's do some flying in our C152's. Never thought I'd say that about a 152. Haha.

I have the pad, an Annov livery, and Ryan's TDS 750 mod installed (which is working perfectly).  The pad is just a white screen though, so something is clashing.

In my case, its New Light mod JPlogistics C152 that was this issue. Makes sense too as it must be pointing to version 1. Hopefully fixes it for you too. Now I can enjoy the fresh air...

Yes, me also.  Looking for a conflicting app in my Community folder, but I can't find it yet.  

Initially I thought it may have something to do with extending the cockpit across multiple screens, but doors in other planes open fine. Will try to look for conflicting apps in my community folder too. Thanks.

Its subjective but I find this heli just beautiful. Cries out 'must buy' even if I haven't had the time to devote to other helicopters in my hangar.

There is full animation on doors and windows.

I am sure there is. Just trying to gauge if anyone else is having this problem.

I was able to open the doors, I clicked on the interior door handles to do it.

I didn't try the windows, didn't even cross my mind to try those!

You can open the windows in flight and this even affects the flight model since the aircraft wants to bank in the opposite direction of the open window everytime I open one.

I hear the door open, but there is no animation. Same goes for the windows. Everything else works fine for me now. Loving it, the modder has done such a great job here.

Did anyone notice that you cant zoom in (using mouse)  when looking at the side windows?

Yes, I noticed that too. I cant seem to open the window or doors either.

Also I cant switch on the avionics. The radios, GTN750 and autopilot panels are all blank. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Like many, I was really looking forward to the release of FS Traffic. But never having grasped the concept of a day one purchase, was going to give it atleast a couple of days post release before buying.

Based on everything I've read so far here, in other forums and watched on YT videos, I cannot see how this product offers much extra over the existing alternatives. It is being promoted as set and forget. But you still have to remember to enter your destination each time. To me, hitting enter after FSLTL auto-starts is a better example of set and forget. Fps seem only marginally better too. Maybe we've been spoilt rotten by the likes of AIG and FSLTL that offer so much for free. In its current form, this sure does not seem like the breakthrough addon meant to be the answer to our Traffic prayers.

I don't get it. Seasonal changes are not really exclusively with trees!!!

The foliage, grass, bush, swamps, soil, everything that grows changes with seasons.... Every attempt to only change trees is with season is kind of a lackluster approach in my opinion..... Something is totally missing in the videos provided in this thread by Rex. 

That's why Asobo will take their time to get it right or maybe close to it.

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.
