About Me
I primarily got interested in FSX to help my 13 year old son, he brought the 737 NGX and when he showed me I was amazed at the level of detail. I then set about learning how to fly this baby along with reading up on airport charts. Before I knew it I was hooked. Then came the dedicated PC I built just for FSX :)

60 or 120 Hz TV's ?
RJC68 replied to jlund's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etc
I have a 55" Sony X90K that is GSYNC compatible, I chose Sony as they already have very good motion handling and GSYNC works well on this TV. As others have said if you can only achieve up to 60 FPS then it is pointless buying a 120Hz TV. I run 100Hz refresh rate @4K and lock my FPS in RTSS to 72 and this gives me incredibly consistent FTV which results in a very fluid sim experience. If I unlock my FPS in less demanding scenarios then the sim will automatically be capped at 97 FPS. To be honest I see no real value in doing this as it just forces my hardware to work harder. I do have a decent PC and can run Ultra settings and unless I am flying out of a major airport like IniBuilds EGLL with traffic then I can pretty much sustain 72 FPS everywhere and if they do drop a but then GSYNC takes care of this. I do use the amazing AutoFPS and I am still running MSFS 2020. Looking at your PC Specs your CPU is a generation newer than mine but I have a stronger GPU. What sort of consistent FPS can you achieve with this PC? -
I may be wrong but I don't believe you can. I think you would have to copy the new button assignment to each profile. You can do so much with SPAD, for instance when I load into the Fenix A320 I press the HDG button on my Bravo throttle (I don't use this button as I have a MiniFCU) SPAD then runs a series of events .... Battery 1 & 2 on, External Power On, ADIRS aligned, VOR switches on EFIS panel on. This is all done using LVAR's. Once I am ready to go I have another button that turns on the fuel pumps, Seatbelt signs and then starts the APU. Once you get used to programming SPAD using LVAR's you can create ton's of actions to button presses.

I am not even going to bother watching that and will probably still be on MSFS 2020 🤣

What MSFS 2024 got right

Nice post Bert, I see it takes a Canadian to write something positive about MSFS 2024, you did forget to apologize for doing so 🤣 Glad you are having a blast and nice screenshot BTW ! -
The State of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
RJC68 replied to Snipes1702's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
It is quite simple really either don't buy MSFS 2024 or if you have and really hate it request a refund in the permitted timeframe. I see lots of people that are having a good time with the new sim. I myself just decided to stay with MSFS 2020 for the time being, The sim still performs wonderfully and I simply fire it up and fly, No messing around. I will eventually pick up MSFS 2024 but for the time being I am more than happy being able to partake in my favourite hobby stress free ! -
BATC Traffic coming to all users imminently
RJC68 replied to Speedbird 217's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
After a really crazy week I have today off and decided to jump into the sim, was sitting at the gate getting the Fenix ready for departure to Seville and all of a sudden ATC started talking to other aircraft, scared the living c#@p out of me LOL. For a minute I could not figure out what was going on then I looked at my BTC window and the penny dropped ... Aaah that was what the update I just did was 😆 No time this week either to peruse the forums here, Oh well nice surprise !! Happy Friday everyone -
I raised a support ticket with Fenix and they had me do the following; Please try the following, in the Fenix.exe application: Enable Alternative Display Renderer Uncheck Display Sync This actually fixed my problem. I have no idea why all of a sudden this is required. I never used these settings in the past. Something happened with the last update.
-
It looks like the issue I have been having with the DXGI CTD is related too the Fenix A320 after this weeks update, I spawned at the same gate in the Inibuilds A320 and had no issues and then did 2 flights in the iFly 737 Max 8 without issues. I have reached out too Fenix and hopefully they are aware of this.
-
I don't think so Mike but I will check this morning
-
I went back to my original driver that I used for quite a while and it is exactly the same. The sim is unplayable for me right now, I have never had this in the 4 years I owned it.
-
I rolled my driver back to 566.03 which I used previously and I am getting the exact same CTD. I can't even get more than 5 minutes into a session. Last Friday I had a perfectly good working sim. Thank you Microsoft, I do not know what you did behind the scenes but whatever it was please un do it !
-
The weird thing was I did 3 perfect flights just a few days ago and now the same error time after time, maybe it is a MS/ASOBO thing, who knows !
-
Well I managed one flight with no DXGI CTD then tried again and it happened twice at the gate. Man this is frustrating, I guess I will be rolling back my Nvidia driver
-
I also had three DXGI CTD's this morning, never had this before. Everything was perfect when I last flew on Friday of last week. I had updated too the latest NVIDIA drivers and the sim was performing amazingly, I actually thought to myself it was the best I had seen in quite a while. Clearly I jinxed myself LOL
-
I had this 3 times this morning, I found a YT video for this problem in MSFS 2024 so I made the registry changes and just trying for the 4th time. I have never seen this issue before. I did update to the latest NVIDIA driver last Friday and completed 3 flights without issues and the sim (2020) was performing beautifully. Beyond ATC also had an update this morning as well as the Fenix. Currently trying without BATC Here is the link
