How FSlabs NEO doing these days?I haven't touched th
Having the lite cabin version helped A TON. The cabin, just like in the ini A350, makes the plane unusble.

Bluebird not worth $80 at release
I paid 80 bucks for a mediocre dinner for me and my wife, I'd much rather spend it on something I can use whenever I want and provides me entertainment. I bought the FSS E175 at the beginning and I still like it. Because what is the alternative? I guess if you have X plane you can fly the 757 there.

Bluebird 757 is available now through their website and JF
Guys rememeber you are getting a 757-300 as well for your $80 dollars. The Fenix A320 was $60 dollars but so was the A321 and the Fenix A 320 was not perfect when it released, performance was bad, WASM crashes were common, flight characteristics (especially landing, were complained about endlessly.. We had to wait more than a year for IAE engines and sharklets. It had several quick patches and eventually was so modified it became a V2. There are some problems with the BB 757 but most of it is an easy fix, sharpening textures is really the main thing. For me just the engine pylons are bad on the exterior, it almost looks like they did not upload the right texture to the final product texture folder, I can't image this was purpose, seems like maybe they forgot some decals for lines and rivet heads, easy fix. The interior modeling is good so again just some texture fixes. The textures do need work on the seats and walls, they look pretty bad. It's obvious the decals are high res but for some reason they are using low res textures for the base of the interior. The walls look fine from a distance but in wing view, yikes. The seats look really bad. I don't really see the issue with the cockpit. Maybe the parking brake and the ON buttons should be sharper but you have to zoom in quite away for it to look bad. Again an easy fix. I'm sure Bluebird will fix all of this I for one am glad they released it, the 757 dosen't have long in most airline fleets. It flies nice, the EFB works better than any other addons EFB, VNAV, L NAV work flawlessly, ILS/RNAV approaches work flawlessly, completely stable, no crashes WASM or CTD, frame rate performance is really good, I love the mix of digital and analog, the warm glow of incandecent lights, the sounds are good in my opinion. I haven't flow on a 757 since last year but it seems accurate sound wise. There are some issues but I'm sure Bluebird will fix all of this. I for one am glad they released it, the 757 dosen't have long in most airline fleets. EDIT: Actually, the engine pylons are detailed but the detail disappears when you get a few feet away. They still need to rework this area. FYI This is what the bulkhead looks like on an official Fenix Livery.

iniBuilds KMSY Coming Soon
Looks really good but for me MSY hasn't had any new areas added recently. LVFR while not as good still works. And some of inibuilds developers make horrible performing airports. San Antonio is absolutely awful, hopefully it's not the same team working on this one.

I'm Loving the Bluebird 757's System Depth and Quirks
I'm trying to figure out where all these terrible textures are in the cockpit, it looks the same as the PMDG to me when flying. I enjoy the warm glow of the analog insturments and incandecent lighting. I see the cabin textures that are low res but I never look at the cabin after the first time. I'd rather have really nice looking wings and engines. I can't complain about the performance so I'd almost rather they not mess with it. The perfromance is on par with the PMDG 737. The only thing irritating me right now is, the cabin has collision boxes the camera can't get close enough to the windows to set nice wing views. The inibuilds A330 and A321 have this issue as well. Flew from TPA to ATL, no issues, everything feels like a better version of the QW757. Felt like an old friend, I still remember everything about it like muscle memory. EFB is really great and one of the easiest and most intuitive to use.

LOD distance reduced SU7?
It seems to me all settings are not the same after SU7. In the past I had used DLSS Quality. DLSS Quality is now too much for my rig to handle (i7 13700K, 4080S and 64GB. So I actually have it on DLSS AUTO with no real difference except for on Quality I get stuttering and resource issues at big airports with complex jets, DLSS AUTO looks the same but the frame rates are off the charts. I also had to change The off-screen pre-caching from ultra to high and had to turn down TLOD from 200 to 100. If Asobo/MS aren't optimizing for consoles then why these changes? Why not leave it alone? My guess has to do with the recent survey about bugs and technical issues such as CTDs, freezing and stuttering. The game is too complex for even the highest end systems as everything gets more complex. 10GB airports, 5-10 GB airplanes, 8K textures, it's all too much to handle. I'm not too mad though, I'm getting insane frame rates even with BATC, too bad I can't see any AI airplane landing gears from more than a few hundred feet.

FSS Embraer closing to V1.0
It's been oddly solid. I did TUS-PHX, no issues. Then I did LAX-TUS to make sure RNAV approaches were working. I have had no WASM crashes. Performance is excellent. The wierd handling issues are fixed. I was able to setup a hold. Direct is working. ILS captured beautifully. So now we just need autoland to work. I think they are finally going to pull it off.

For Anyone Who Wants Weather Improvements
This is what I sent: It would be nice to see proper storm clouds with Towering Cumulonimbus with tops above 45000 feet like real thunderstorms. It appears that this is possible with the game and weather engine but is rarely depicted properly in live weather scenarios outside of hurricanes. Are there any plans to make thunderstorms more dangerous and realistic. It's very underwhelming when you break out of thunderstorms and none of them are taller than 15,000 feet and they are small. Weather is now the item that is the most important to improve. Are there any plans to make the clouds stop being transparent even when they are large enough they would not be transparent in real life? Are there any plans to make high overcast more accurate? I know clouds are tied to METARS, and in the US CLR or CAVOK means fair below 12,000 feet. But there are more tools that give cloud tops and bases for all layers of the atmosphere. The sim is great but I think we were all wanting to see weather depiction improvement. We know the sim is capable of it. Presets can create fantastic weather but the live weather always underplays the amount of layers as well as the amount and size of clouds.

Inibuilds Dubai V2 Trailer - Releases Friday
Oh for sure the FBW A380 is a performance dog, but even with pmdg/fenix iIwas getting constant stuttering while panning. ini OMDB is as bad as ORBX ATL was at launch. And even with everything disabled in options it's perfromance is unacceptable.

Inibuilds Dubai V2 Trailer - Releases Friday
I thought Performance at ini EGLL and KLAX were terrible until I got Dubai. FBW A380+Dubai = "Wow this is really actually quite bad. Literally, unplayable" Turn everything off in the options. Well its tolerable now but it looks like Gaya stock so what was the point of buying it? It's free so im going to get it but I hope they optomized it to the level of DFW and O'Hare.

FSS Ejets Exp 0.10.41
I keep my turbulence on Medium it really helps, but... it used to hand fly really nice under Realistic settings. But even on auto pilot it artificiallly yaws constantly in Realistic. Realistic is, a bit much, but isn't actually realistic, it seems that MS/Asobo did something to turbulence settings or did something that is cause airplanes to overreact to wind gusts. I remember one time wind were 40kts coming into vegas and in the turn it was so strong it flipped my plane and i couldn't recover it. They really need to look at this Realistic Turbulence, the winds seem to be off by a factor of 5 too strong. Many times jets are still uncontrollable on the ground in a strong cross-wind. I find Medium is a... happy Medium. Low might as well be off.

BATC: how do you grapple with descent when...
I just follow the STAR to the IAF, if it tells me right altitudes great, if it doesn't oh well. Most the time BATC tells me to descend to the IAF and proper altitude too late or it will give me a vector to visual too early and too high. If it does that I just ignore the vector and fly straight as I descend eventually it will give me a new vector and the proper altitude. I have also noticed that I have actually been getting proper speed instructions if i' m too fast. It's getting better and better. I also noticed coming into MSP the other day there were air planes ahead of me on the STAR then they made turns to final, and approach was actually sequencing them and I could follow them, I could also tell there were planes behind me. But I was just thinking. BATC pushes airplanes back like a normal airplane and waits, then the airplane starts and taxis out along the right path dims its lights for crossing traffic, then lines up for take off, takes off, then follows the sid. Honestly it's pretty amazing how far BATC has come. of course it has shortfalls, but this is the best traffic program we have ever had.

Looked pretty good coming into Reno. I did PHX RNO which I just did in real life last week as a passenger, really neat approach, very very bumpy. https://i.ibb.co/TDgRgbDG/E175vnavworking.jpg

FSS Ejets Exp 0.10.41
I actually just did a full large airport to airport flight last night from KDEN to KLAS with a 34k cruise altitude. It actually performed perfectly. I was shocked. It actually switched to PTH at TOD and followed it down perfectly without oscillation. ILS worked well I had no problems. No WASM issues, I was able to edit my flightplan with no issues. My plane followed the flightplan without doing anything wierd. I would advise people to delete the WASM folder and let it rebuild. The FMC is much more complete now. A lot of my issues were because the plane actually acts like it should I had learned it when it was incomplete and so now a lot of things have changed. Gonna try KLAX/KTUS 30 tonight. want to land at an airport with RNAV required and no ILS. The only thing I had to do was turn Turbulence back to Low, but Realistic is just too much it sways side to side continuiously.

Maybe someone like Tuskin can help. I just did a flight at DFW in the E75L. Normally, to arm an ILS approach I would put the frequency into the RADIO in the FMC, switch V/L on the glareshield and then LOC 1. Verify correct ident and course. Hold whatever altitude on my chart at that distance watch the vertical needle to make sure its above and then approach at 30* off heading then when I get the needle to move 1 dot from the center arm APP. Maybe this is waht they mean by autoland is not functioning? I took that to just mean the actual Autoland portion not the ILS automation. Has anyone done a successful ILS approach with version 10.45? I keep seeing it flash BC for back course, then after that none of my autopilot controls function at all no matter what I do, it wat the same in 10.41. Maybe you can't rawdog an ILS in the Embraer? Maybe it has to have something in the FMS for an arrival runway and now that it's more realistic I can't do it the old way anymore? UPDATE: Nevermind. Found a thread on Reddit. You delete the jet delete the wasm folder and then reinstall and make sure if you have the aerosoft one version you delete the old version in the aerosoft one library folder, then reload at airport GVAC Sal. Then put in the activation key. If you have navigraph download the newest navdata from Navigraph. Spawn in at an airport you know and re-try the ils and it should work in manual mode. Enter the ILS in to the RADIO screen on the FMC and set the course per the chart.

Stutters with SU6?
I have stutters especially when changing views. I have also had a few CTDs. Currently troubleshooting. So far I have reverted my DLSS to 310.1. that didn't do much. I reverted to 610.47 NVIDIA drivers. Helped with the CTDs. but I still get stutters. Tried, deleting cache that helped a bit. I noticed some of the Settings were changed. had to go back ino NVIDIA and get 2.25 DL upscaling. Went back trough all my settings and changed everything. For some reason it put everything on Ultra. I have a bit less stuttering. I have longer load times, stuttering when changing views, an ocasional CTD (never had them before) BATC doesnt work correctly anymore. It's not registering Squaks or handing off correctly. So for me right now the sim is a bit broken until some updates come up. for various addons. i7 13700kf 4800Super 64GB ram

FSS Ejets Exp 0.10.41
They released a .41 Rev A today. It still sucks, I can't tell if anything was fixed. Is anyone else getting the low speed sway from side to side? YD on/off does not matter. Turbulence on Low.
