FSRealisticPro Do I understand correctly?
Johan217 replied to Cavemanhead's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I used to have it on all the time, but found it was causing problems with at least some aircraft (zoom but also controls) and now I tend to keep it off unless I am flying default GA aircraft. In any case I found myself turning down many of the effects or even disabling them altogether. -
The 2 things I miss most in MSFS
Johan217 replied to bofhlusr's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Pick two of these: 1) In-game documentation. Explain what each setting does, Flight notes with at least the reference speeds for each included aircraft. 2) Camera: apply a single FOV setting across ALL internal and external views. 3) Remember Registry, Airline etc. per individual aircraft 4) Flight planner: show airways, wind direction and filters per navaid type Love MSFS, but the above omissions make me sigh "what were Asobo thinking" at least once every flight 😕 -
Did a short flight over Ghent: I can now truly say that I can see my house from here 😃 I do agree that some of the locations from earlier updates are in need of some care.

Fix for taxiway lights in the middle of taxiways
Johan217 replied to AWACS's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
JF/Black Square Real Taxiways does that, BUT it only works for default airfields (so NOT e.g. for the customized airfields of MSFS Premium Edition or World Updates). You have to go through the bgl files and remove them manually in case of conflicts. Also, it will not fix erratic parking spots. Best solution is to find a good AFCAD that fixes both. These are good to start with: https://flightsim.to/file/32783/airport-gate-mapping-and-taxi-fixes-for-aig-traffic https://flightsim.to/file/32064/airport-parking -
Awful first time experience of using MSFS
Johan217 replied to BWBriscoe's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I suppose mileage may vary, but since this issue has been introduced I have encountered it only twice, and that was shortly after MSFS SU10 was released. I am using FSLTL (default settings) for AI traffic, GSX which replaces jetways and ground vehicles. I can fly to/from Aerosoft EBBR (which adds a lot of objects including passengers in terminals) without problem. It's certainly an issue that must be resolved by Asobo, but on my end, at least, it occurs only very rarily. -
My bad. Hope you get it working soon.

The only CTDs I remember having with MSFS were caused by exactly this (in my case, using the undervolt feature on my RX5700). Try turning off ALL forms GPU tuning.

DX12 and ground texture bleed through.
Johan217 replied to Wise87's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
This is what it looks like: some ground textures are missing and satellite imagery is showing instead as evidenced by e.g. the flat parked aircraft. As you move the camera, the correct ground textures start to reappear, but they may disappear in other places. When looking closer, these patches are covered by earth and grass. -
DX12 and ground texture bleed through.
Johan217 replied to Wise87's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Good to hear that clearing the DX cache fixes this for some. Unfortunately not for me though. I have a Radeon RX5700, from what I understand the problem is more likely to affect AMD users. -
I still like to use it on most flights, but only after disabling a number of effects that seem to interfere with flying characteristics or which I find disturbing (like passengers and airport background sounds), and toning down pretty much all the rest. One issue that remains and apparently is related to FSR is random zooming, I hope they will work that out some day.

Question about Addon Linker
Johan217 replied to jarmstro's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Thanks for pointing this out, this is what sold it for me. I was having issues with the latest FSUIPC not starting. -
There is a workaround, but no actual fix as far as I am aware. https://support.justflight.com/support/solutions/articles/17000121895-certain-taxiway-signs-may-show-as-hijk-mmmm-oooo

I don't think there have been many updates since release, so what you see in the videos is what you'll get. Be aware that you'll have to remove the taxiway bgl manually for addon airports and this includes the handcrafted MSFS airports. Also there is a known issue with the hold short sign that requires manual replacing of some files every time after a sim update. That said, I'd still say it is a reasonable improvement over default: taxiway signs look better and they are more accurate. If you don't use many addon airports and you're ok with the hassle of managing your files it could be worth it. If you're mostly flying between addon or modded airports, probably not. To be clear, these are NOT AFCAD files. They only affect the placement of signs and will not fix a bad aiport layout.
