Tha' endless comments from people on forums like this who complained endlessly about the clouds, and requested metars as a familiar solution. An adjunct of the people still complaining endlessly about the night lighting, and then commenting on how much better it was before Asobo was silly enough to actually listen to an undifferentiated mass of people with endless and multiply competing opinions on the subject of "realism".

They gave us exactly what we repeatedly and loudly requested. Not the first time we were not careful enough with what we wished for.

Headsup: Until DLSS Swapper v1.2.7 is released you can enable DLSS FG Preset C by going to where you installed/extracted DLSS Swapper and opening Assets\dlss_g_presets.json (C:\Program Files\DLSS Swapper\ for default install) Find the part that says “Preset C”, change its false to true, { “name”: “Preset C”, “value”: “0x00000003”, “used”: true }, Restart DLSS Swapper. You now have access to DLSS FG preset C

Back when I joined Aerofly 3 years ago, I was quite frustrated at the lack of us

Maybe I've been reading to much stuff like this. I'm also losing a bit of my optimism that we will ever get very far out there, in Interstellar terms, Elon Musk notwithstanding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_Earth_hypothesis

Yeah, except that they are likely so rare that the nearest one is on the other side of the galaxy, or in another galaxy altogether, about a bazillion lightyear's from here.....

This is what I've believed is the case up to this point:

I have been using a free app called vector with some similar capabilities.

Since when? In the meanwhile, are we really ready to essentially just yeet forever the few remaining stores out there? Do we really wanna hand MS a stranglehold monopoly on the third party market, and watch the fees they charge developers head for the roof with eventually zero alternative? 🤔

As far as I know, GSX still doesnt work its best with the marketplace encryption of airports...... Not amused.

Well.... My Nala is a Calico, and 99 out of 100 Calicos are gurls, so....... Nala in her favorite box, wearing mascara...

Pretty nicely done!

Hmmmmmmmm......

I've been watching too much Star Trek. At first thought the title of the thread was Kelvin Timeline......

Nope Running OFXR Bridge on a Meta Quest 3 paired with an Nvidia GPU in Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) offers a substantial performance boost. Early community testing confirms that it provides a massive headroom advantage, often doubling perceived frame rates with far fewer visual artifacts than traditional Quest Link/Virtual Desktop space warp techniques. To dial in your setup for a perfectly smooth flight, apply these configuration steps and optimization tips: ⚙️ Core Configuration Workflow Choose Your Connection & Runtime: If using Virtual Desktop (Wireless), set your OpenXR runtime to VDXR inside the Virtual Desktop Streamer app to completely bypass SteamVR for optimal performance. If using a Link Cable, ensure Meta Horizon Link is set as your default OpenXR runtime. Arm the Bridge: Download the latest release from the official repository, open the app on your desktop, and make sure to click "Arm Bridge" from your Windows taskbar tray before starting your flight. Note: If Windows Defender flags the latest download as a false positive trojan (Sabsik), community members note this is common for experimental API layers; you can safely scan it with a secondary tool like Bitdefender or whitelist the directory if you choose to proceed. Lock the Ratios: Set your Quest 3 headset to an 80 Hz refresh rate. In the MSFS in-game VR graphics settings, set the Max Frame Rate to 40 FPS. This gives OFXR Bridge a perfectly stable baseline to generate the intermediate frames and lock you to a smooth 80 FPS. 🛠️ Optimization & Settings Guide

My traffic settings are online and boat traffic Ultimate

Maybe it's just me, but i've done the experiment many times. Set GAIST up in AIG, and it works; set it up with just the sim, and results are all over the place and inconsistent.

If you were/are using AIG Traffic, you can download Gaist from within that software and set it up so that gaist will now run correctly.

Doesn't AIG have a working GAIST mode?

Eh.... I just pay for a membership there. Faster downloads.

So awesome that these amazing little critters condescend to share some of their lives with us.
