  1. I agree...what was killing me was most of the larger 3rd party airports (KJFK, KBOS, KMIA, etc), I just could not get good performance at all on or near the ground even with very light AI settings (Fenix & PMDG). I can now nail 30 fps (I use 50% refresh/vsync to target 30fps) at all of these airports and it is so much smoother, especially on the ground at the gate where even panning around was always a bit rough. Great app!!
  2. My machine is overheating just reading this scenario😄 I did do a flight out of JFK a few days ago with the Fenix. I was surprised how poor my performance was at the gate (JetBlue terminal facing west)...only about 17 fps. I have the same addons you have minus the Seafront packages and FS2C. I also had my KEWR and KLGA addons disabled. JFK has always been a tough area for me and I generally avoid it. FSLTL (or any AI traffic) is the main culprit I think. When I turned AI traffic off I was back up to 30fps. I have not tried using AutoFPS yet at JFK. My first flight while using AutoFPS was last night and I did in fact fly into KEWR (disabled KJFK). It seemed to work pretty well even though I could not keep 30 fps but only dipped to about 26-27. My TLOD was set on 70. This was also with FSLTL (mostly parked traffic @ MAX 40 and 20 IFR).
  3. Not sure how I just came across this tool!!?? Will be trying on my next flight but wanted to check about using it with Vsync and FPS lock within the sim. I'm running my monitor at 60hz (default is 120) and then run 1/2 refresh in the sim for 30 fps lock. From what I am reading, I should set the FPS target to 10% less (27) in the app? I do have issues at bigger airports where I cannot maintain the 30 on the ground and drop to low 20's so this might help the issue.
  4. The performance after this update has been extremely smooth for me. I keep my FPS locked at 30 (1/2 refresh) and have not noticed it going much under 30 except for maybe brief times at big airports (KORD, KBOS). Overall, B2 seems smoother for me compared to the prior version (I'm not on SU15 beta).
  5. Not sure if this is the case for you but I noticed the same thing a couple days ago. Aircraft seemed to be frozen as I approached TOD. I then noticed that the Altitude knob on my Honeycomb TQ was actually controlling the Sim Rate as well! When I decreased the altitude selector for descent, it also put my sim rate down to the lowest possible. I then saw that the latest update changelog had supposedly fixed this issue (although never had it before). I am on that latest update and even reinstalled so not sure what is going on. Just figured I would mention it just in case...
  6. Yup....VS is resetting back to 0 fpm every 30-60 seconds. I had to hangar it because I really don't use Profile mode much outside of the initial descent. They are aware so hopefully another fix is issued soon for it.
  7. It does not...sounds like they are working on it for the next update.
  8. Yup,,,I got the strange panel also when starting a flight but a restart of flight fixed it. The other weird thing is that if there is no interaction for a certain amount of time (I stepped away from PC a couple times during flight for 15-20 minutes) when you move the mouse the landing gear extends. There might also be some issues when choosing a panel state. I tried to load up 'Takeoff' panel state and had total hydraulic loss which could not be fixed through the failure menu (Failures were off).
  9. Yup...anyone that likes to fly at night and already owns LVFR may want to hold off on buying this to see if the taxiway lighting issue is fixed. I may actually switch back to LVFR as the night environment is much more pleasing....
  10. No, they did not model it....it's a mediocre photogrammetry building and no neon sign. LVFR also did the Hilton hotel and some of the other close buildings....BMWAmsim did not model any of those.....
  11. I have done a few flights in the PMDG 737 on the SU15 Beta. The flights were fine but I did notice if I walked away for 10-15 minutes, when I came back to the PC and moved my mouse the gear actually extended. It happened 3 or 4 times. Also, when loading up a new flight the panel is messed up about half the time and I have to back out to main menu and/or restart the flight.
  12. I just did a night flight into KMIA. I did the BNFSH2 STAR that comes in from the north. When I was about 20 miles out, all of the green taxiway centerline lights popped into view. A literal sea of green lights from 20 miles out is no good. They also had a shimmering effect to them as well. Otherwise, the approach was smooth and only noticed my frames dropping on about a 2 mile final. Once I started taxiing, I had some really bad frames down to 10 which never happens for me. I was facing towards the city and I do have Samscene Miami so cannot rule that out although never had that happen with LVFR version. This is with light FSLTL traffic (20 IFR, 30 parked). It then disappeared and went back to 20-30 but it was definitely not consistent. I think they need to look at the taxiway lights...something is not right with them as you should not see them at all until maybe short final. Even on the ground they have an odd shimmer to them. I am not sure where to give them feedback, does anyone know if they have a Discord or anything?
  13. At first glance, this looks nice and better than the LVFR version which was pretty old and a straight port from P3D. A lot of nice details and it appears my Samscene Modern Cities Miami is working fine with it. Not sure if I'd be able to tell if some of the BMWAmsim buildings were mixed in or not..?? One thing I noticed is that the gates do not appear to be coded for airlines....AI seemed scattered everywhere. I will have to do a flight to check performance but I was locked at 30 in PMDG 738 at the gate and fairly smooth with drone camera also without any AI traffic.
  14. From the features list: "Real world ground dirt" Well...this pushed me over the edge so I guess I will buy! I also have SamScene Modern Cities so wondering if or how that will be prioritized.
