I like it. Kind of Avsim tradition.

Not sure I need any more German cities in high quality...

‘Something is bad if it’s not attached to something good’ is pretty low-quality logic. edit: and imho, the msfs 172 is already pretty good.

Anyone noticing any difference from the memory optimization?

Hoping and praying I’m wrong, but things that will disappoint me if left unchanged in 2024 are: 1) clouds 2) clouds 3) clouds 4) clouds

I only suspected it

Oh, that’s amazing, you weren’t actually joking😅 Yes Goran, I’m happy to ride the train you’ve painstakingly built over all these years. A) How many scieeenshots do you have? B) Can you identify exactly who said ‘nail in the coffin’? C) Do you have a screenshot of me asking if you’d support Janov’s misogyny in front of your daughter (the one you yourself have mentioned so many times in these forums)?

It might make you feel better if you tag the person / people who actually said it. Do you know (someone) who actually said it? If not, Goran has said on many occasions that he keeps a library of screenshots of posts badmouthing XPlane, so please ask him to help👍🏻😊

Jorg said they were mulling just buying a company / plane to do TIN themselves, so hoping they do that and then buy a sub to do bathymetry so we don't need to fart around with masks anymore🙃

Ah, apologies. Mine were the words of a man getting the wrong end of the stick.

Ironic from the guy who started with ‘How can they cock up something so comprehensively’ after he had a bad connection or something.

Any shots of this working in sim yet?

…nooo, the ‘pressure’ is still mainly coming from you…

Too busy rubbing shoulders with Thimothe and Zendaya.

Off topic, but something I miss from FSX ATC is altimeter checks. Not sure how often rl pilots actually pester atc with those, but it appealed to my OCD.

Just noticed a mod to get rid of ghosting using this in Cyberpunk. Any tech-savvy chooms wanna take a look inside and see if it can work with MSFS? FrameGen Ghosting 'Fix' for FSR3 FG Mods at Cyberpunk 2077 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com)

This was something I was hoping they could do, AI-based translation of freely available satellite imagery into super granular land class / textures. Theoretically would do away with a lot of the problems of simply streaming the imagery (and many of its imperfections) itself. Looking forward to what’s next.

Quick reaction after one startup, taxi and takeoff with 10 knots crxwind at YBTL in the glass 172, definitely felt a lot more stickiness on the ground, less rudder for cxwind, more like tyres than single, slippery contact points. Only first flight in the beta (after swearing I was never gonna do another beta...) but so far, ground feels a lot better in the 172.

Mainly the first post of this thread…

Is it? The only person I’ve seen say that is you.

Yeah they need to work on QC so keep banging the drum, but nah, ‘pathetic’ and ‘ludicrous’ not fair when we’re talking about the first software to stream the whole world in photorealistic detail to millions of users, leveraging new tech, backed by an army of vendors, mostly at no extra cost to the user. MSFS is really a leap beyond anything we’ve had before, and some of the regressions are so disappointing (I literally sigh every time I see the clouds every session when I think of the clouds we once had), but big picture way more is right than wrong.

Is it fair to say this beta is pretty near releasable?

Google ‘Fairey Gannet’

And there was me sworn off betas after losing over 900 logbook hours in an earlier beta…

Did you read Fluffyflop’s post as a plea for constructive help? You should look at his posting history and my post might make sense. Happened with two SUs (latest one when zooming in on world map to select an airport). Yes, frustrating, but didn’t put me on a path of bile at everything the devs do.
