Anyone tried the new 616.64 driver yet?
Thanks, but the video I linked above provides some insight into the process that developers must go through in order to optimize performance and appearance of individual games. I haven't heard that Asobo has done this yet for MSFS, as it looks like a significant job. So those videos may be based on DLSS files "borrowed" from the NBA program. [Please consider everything I wrote there to totally tentative and provisional.] No doubt there will be performance/quality trade-offs. We may need to hear from Asobo on this.

Please share sources. Thanks.

Anyone tried the new 616.64 driver yet?
There's also a new version of the Nvidia App that got downloaded this morning. The latest driver version on that app (on my system) is 616.64 which "activates DLSS 5 3D-Guided Neural Rendering in NBA 2K27..." Here's the link: DLSS 5 3D-Guided Neural Rendering Debuts in NBA 2K27 | NVIDIA Looks good, but I wonder what this does to performance on already packed VRAM configurations.

4070 Super settings
And I have a 5070ti as noted in the signature and run 4K as well. Most settings are on Ultra, but Texture Resolution is on high. The limiting factor in most cases is the VRAM of 16 GB. I limit the native framerate at 30 fps, which is doubled to 60. I can't detect any stutters. TLOD and OLOD are set to 150, although Autofps lets me go up to 300 if I want. I 'm pretty much satisfied with the default airports, although I do have one for testing, the Ini KLAX. As suggested above, I used ChatGPT to guide me through the setup. It quickly led me to what seems like a most satisfactory level of performance. In HDR, it's really a work of art.

Pmdg operations center is not sending me the email code
I think the OP is referring to the two factor authenticatioin code that is sent to the user email account when first logging with OC3. On my system at least, this only happened the first time after I installed OC3 because, there seems to be no need to log in again. In other words, so long as I don't log out of OC3, it doesn't require a new 2FA code. So perhaps we should ask if the OP logs out of OC3 after each use. If so, why? Best wishes for a good weekend.

What's with the performance in SoCal?
I'm not sure if you're asking for others to check in, but I have been flying around SoCal for the past week with no issues. And that includes the iniBuilds KLAX. Just to be sure, has the OP cleared out the Community folder and turned off any external add-ons in order to test the system?

4,800 MS employees to be laid off from Games Studios/XBOX
Please forgive me, dear moderators, but I think that this discussion actually does belong back on the MSFS 2020/2024 forum rather than being placed in Hanger Chat. This continuing woes of the MSFS gaming enterprise may directly impact the future of our favorite flight simulation software, perhaps not immediately, but in the foreseeable future. Thanks for your consideration.

Xbox job cuts, etc.
This news appears in many financial news sources today Microsoft cuts 2.1% of employees as Xbox unit plans to spin studios It looks like MS is focusing on its burgeoning AI businesses while pulling back somewhat from its gaming enterprises. In addition to the job cuts at Xbox, four of its in-house gaming studios are being spun off to become independent entities. Interesting times ahead for the flight sim community?

Missing EGLC on PMDG navigation display
To be more specific, this parameter can be set on the PMDG FMC at the following location: SETUP > AIRCRAFT > DISPLAYS > ND (6/9) > MIN RUNWAY LENGTH For the case of the default Delta livery, this value is 5000FT. Because the only runway at EGLC is around 4950 feet, this airport would not be displayed by default on this particular aircraft. If you want the ND to display smaller airports, just set MIN RUNWAY LENGTH to the desired minimum value. Hope that helps. Have a great weekend everyone. Happy Father's Day!

PMDG
Just tried it, and, yes, I was blocked from logging in while on a VPN connection. Worked fine without the VPN.

PMDG 737: speed brake assignment
Not directly responsive to the original question, but assignment of the spoiler axis to a Thrustmaster HOTAS slider works fine on my setup. I can't help with regard to the buttons.

PMDG 737-700 for MS2024 missing cockpit sounds
Works fine here. You might want to open a support ticket with PMDG. The one or two times I have had a problem with one of their planes, they were able to help me sort it out quickly. Good luck.

Sim Update 5 [1.7.27.0] Now Available | MSFS 2024
Sorry, Rob, but me, too. I didn't switch to FS2024 for the first few months, so I can't speak to that. I have not been satisfied with most of the default aircraft and so stick to payware for the most part. I have no clue why I haven't had problems, but run MSFS as clean as possible with the minimum number of Community add-ons, and only a few bits of support software. My system was purchased in 2022 and wasn't at the cutting edge back then. I do have to limit stuff like traffic and run at moderate graphics settings between medium and high. I run at 2K, capped at 30 fps, and in HDR, but it all fits in the 8K of VRAM. I don't have any third party airports because I learned years ago that this can cause all sorts of problems, but have not had performance issues with Fenix, PMDG, etc. Most all of the problems I have had along the way have been due to user error on my part. This is hugely complex software that works very well if used with a bit of discretion.

PMDG 737 WASM crash: can be reproduced
I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but this post on the PMDG support forum provides some useful information regarding one aspect of the problem, namely possible issues related to the presence of other add-ons in the Community folder: https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/390136-please-assist-us-understanding-wasm-crashes-better-even-if-you-do-not-see-them?p=390730#post390730 While not as definitive as one might like, the results do suggest that the frequency of WASM crashes is correlated to the total number of add-ons present in the Community folder. I keep my Community folder pretty clean and have had no WASM crashes in FS2024, but if I did, I would empty everything out other than the subject aircraft and see how it goes. But that's just me. Others might find better, easier ways of debugging the problem. Cleaning out caches might help, too. Of course, someone might have better data than was collected by PMDG. Please share so we can all learn. PS It is tempting to say, "It worked last week without crashing, so if it doesn't work this week, I know it's the fault of the most recently installed add-on.", but that might not be the case. If nothing else, the data seem to suggest that the scale of the problem is defined by interactions between the add-ons as much as it is by the add-ons themselves. K.I.S.S. may well be the best advice of all.

No Dash 8 in 2020-2024, almost a crime.

PMDG 777 for MSFS 2024 fleet receives significant update.
Unless we're shown some evidence, let's not.... So much speculation, so little in the way of facts.

PMDG 737 for MSFS 2024
Has the 737 been released yet? I thought it was only the 736, 738, and 739 so far. With regard to the overshoots, no, I can't say I have observed this in MSFS 2020 (737) or 2024 (738). I fly the intercept at Flaps 5 speed, and it seems to work fine so far as I can tell.

"Server issue detected"
No discernable problems in getting started today in the southeastern US. Could also be a CDN issue with regard to the reported failures. Presumably this will be cleared up "soon".

Boris Sounds for PMDG 737 2024 Workaround
Wait, what? If one can't tell if the sound package is installed just by listening then why is one even bothering to install the sounds? Why is it necessary to confirm installation if there's so little difference Thanks.

PMDG 737 2024 - Wobble?
This post goes back to the end of 2024 and reports a problem in MS2020. At the very end, there are two recent responses pertaining to the new 738, which briefly report contradictory results. Are there any posts that specifically address the new add-on?

PMDG 737 2024 - Wobble?
It appears that there might be multiple sources of the "wobble" phenomenon, of which Chaseplane may only be one. Perhaps this is a good moment to remind everyone that the PMDG 737 Introduction manual has a section on Simulator Settings, Limitations and Compatibility Simulator Settings, Limitations and Compatibility - PMDG 737 Introduction that states in part In addition, it includes a discussion of assistance settings that includes a note that reads as follows: Perhaps it would be good for those who experience what they feel is anomalous behavior (e.g., wobble) to start the debugging process from a state that is consistent with these known limitations.
