There are people still looking for it and this article is the latest "find"?

I read on the MSFS site that the slow open time might be related to 2 issues. 1. Following MS hype of everything to the cloud (that becomes a storage/money issue for MS), regardless of impact on User. 2. Someone made decision to compress (which requires a uncompressed on open) but NO warning (ie,e, PLEASE Wait DECOMPRESSING) message. Not a strong statement on ASOBO expertise.

I agree, if I am not on the sim then I am on either AVSIM or MSFS Forum to hear about new productss, or features explained that I have explored yet. Retired and at 78 at least it keeps my mind engaged every day.

Randall, did you ever get a response to this issue. It is now Appril 2023 I have started to have the same issue with the G1000 in the Beech G58.. Any suggestions other than the brightness setting? Any thing fron Working Title or MSFS Support? Thanks for any information.

Got to have it. I am 85 years old and my very first flight was when I was about 9 or 10 in a DC-3 from Charlotte, NC to Chester, SC.

Can't wait to make this flight again.

Roy, I am a youngster at 77 but VERY glad to see you are still active with the simulator. My first aircraft flight was in a Texan T-6 in Hawaii......got hooked on aviation and can't stay away from it. Bob

C-5 or C-17 would be awesome. But I want a C-130H or J even more. 

I just flew in the Canton (KCAK) and Akron (KAKR) areas and there was plenty of weather (clouds, cold and wind).....

I have submitted several Zendesk tickets to request update/corrections to airport gate assignments. I have numerous default airports that have a lot of GA aircraft parked at gates of major airports. In FSX I knew how to “edit” airport data so that the correct type of aircraft were the only ones that could park at certain gates and also control the size of the gate area.

Is there a relative easy way to “edit” airport gate characteristics (similar to what we could do in FSX) to make these changes since the issue is obviously very low on the Asobo list to correct the airports with these issues?

Thanks for any and all advice or suggestions…

I had all kind of weird things happen today with an earlier flight. I shut everything down and waited several hours to restart the flight. When I restarted I found many of my Options reset to anything but what I wanted. I went through all of the options to make sure things were set to what I had been using and started the flight with no problems. Azure did go out on me while flying but it did come back online. 

Live traffic is not working for me. Everything else ok.

EDIT: Services came online while in a flight so I was able to get live weather turned on. I also turned on live traffic and Data but since Traffic had been forced to offline, in Conditions, when I started the flight I think that is why I can not start life traffic.

EDIT2: Still no live traffic, even with everything turned on for live traffic.....😢

EDIT3: Also found out that you might have to restart the sim so that the server connections, which came online while I was flying, get reset so that you can get live traffic again.

Down in San Antonio, Texas!!!

I could not even get to the Flight Simulator web site.

Not flying today!!!

Bert, thanks for that link. Did a short flight at 5,000 ft and cruised along at 180 KTS!!! Nice!!!!

Do these same principles 20C, 1st & last apply to the Baron as well for maximum performance?

Thanks for posting. That was quite a nifty feature to have the charts and gps approach up at the same time with the airplane on the chart plate. The intelligence of the lean/rich mixture software was also much more than I've ever seen in before. I hope that Working Title will get us to that level of features with their continued improvements to the NXi.

 

 

👍👍

This is from the Rex website. If the Zinertek textures really does not use mipmap textures, then it will definitely affect performance especially in larger airports.

From my usage so far of the Rex textures, I see no performance difference from default.

Nice comparison. I am using Rex, VERY successfully and Rex has been very responsive in answering any questions.

As of July 20, 2021 Microsoft/Asobo is recommending removing REX Global Airport Textures IF you are having CTDs. I have CTDs with certain airports (mostly small/medium) and removing REX Global Airport Textures stopped CTD. " Solution: Remove REX Real Global Airport Textures, Zinertek Enhanced Airport Graphics".

No thank you, not at that price! Maybe Asobo will make some of those improvements in the near future?

I always fly out of the airport I landed at. Depending upon how much time I have, I determine the greatest distance I want to fly. I always fly GA and normally like to have a view (so low rather than high). I do not use any planning tools. My mission is (1) hours, now at 890 and (2) as many airports as possible (420). Real world I figure this would have cost in expenses about $140,000 USD plus the cost of either renting or buying an airplane. My MSFS investment has a pretty good ROI!

I've been using an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and have never had a GPU crash. I get a constant 45 fps and no stutters. May be you should try the new drivers and cards before you comment on them.

Would you mind sharing your MSFS graphic settings? Thank you!

823 as of today. Being retired helps with having the hours.

Per Carenado no surprise if WT G1000 (3.7) does not work.

“We asked our dev area and our aircraft are not design nor tested to work with such add on, thus, we can not guarantee its full functionality.”

I have shared WT notes from 3.6 that explains the issue but we will have to wait and see if Carenado wants to do anything or if WT can make it work.

Instead of getting rid of ground services they need to get all these vehicles off the taxiway s!!

I am getting CTD's every flight using the new G1000 3.5 MOD. Flying the G36 with GTN750 MOD.

Anyone else?   1.15.7.0 MSFS.  never had any CTD before.

 

 

I am using the G1000 3.5 mod and do not have that problem.

I tried last months updated drivers, and the driver timeout was back. I have remained on 20.8.3 since, with no issues other than the sim issues we all see.

I have been stable with 21.2.2, might be different for each person depending upon their total system specs,

The WT G1000 is not working for me. I use it in C172S and C182T. PFD works but MFD will not work.
