Hello, I am trying to increase the LOD value without any visual effect. I have tried both Terrain Level of Detail and Objects Level of Detail, moved the sliders down to 20 and back up to 200 and still the trees end maybe 1 or 2 miles away from me. I have also tried to edit the Uercfg file by changing the LOD value to 2 or 4 or 6 without any change in the game, it is like it is stuck on one setting and it cannot be changed. It does change when flying on monitor but not in VR. I am definitely changing the settings under VR and not PC Any help on this matter would be great. Thanks, Bart Cpu 8700 OC to 4.7, water cooled, 1080TE, 32gb Ram,

Same here

The wonders of marketing, my friend. Bart

Exactly. How about something bigger like a Turbo Commander, C441, PA 31 Chieftain. I know a2a are working on a nice twin but lets face it, it's years away from being available. All I am saying is some verity would be great. Cheers, Bart

You're right, they are progressively getting less and less views. Bart

If you check what metar time it is using compared with real time metar you’ll see it is always 2 hours old! Has anyone picked up on this? Bart

I too have the Honeycomb yoke and what I do to get around that problem is use the Remote flight A/P app on my ipad. It lets me adjust the heading in increments of 1 degree. Hope that helps. Bart

When and where did they say that?

Exactly! Just more jibber jabber about the same thing. "we will fix this, we read, we listen" that's all! Not much new at all. They haven't even started on the weather, the LOD issue's!! But I understand that most of their customers are people who just grab an xbox controller and fly overt their house, not hard core simmers like us. Hence they fix what will appeal to the bigger market share. But at least they read and listen to us...We hope. So lets be optimistic. Cheers, bart

2022!

so the 7 year wait starts now? LOL

Can you play MFS on an Iphone? No!... Well, I can with Ex-Plane! 😂

It's in the 20th of August update Thread

The patch is not coming on the 27th. We will be told on the 27th when the patch will be released. cheers Bart.

Nope, 40 minutes to go Bart

1. VR 2. Ability to pre flight an aircraft 3. Very good ATC

Say goodbye to my wife for a while!! Bart

He had full knowledge of the new sim from the beginning, you can tell by his silence on the matter at hand. A few other marketing and development decisions also proved that point. All this is understandable, Microsoft wants the best developers and he is one them. Has (by accident???) good knowledge of True Earth scenery develpment behind him! You just have to learn to read between the lines:) Cheers, Bart

For me too VR is a must. 2 years ago I put my VR goggle on and I was hooked. It is strange that the new flight sim wont have VR support at launch! Very strange, I think it is due to the fact that the hardware required to use the new sim in VR with good frame rates (remember VR requires a lot more horsepower then monitor flying), is a few years away. MS knows this and is therefore waiting for that time to come (hardware catching up to power VR flying) before they release a VR component for the new sim. Bart

Scenery popping at 2:56 into that new video, look at the beach and I guess wharfs popping up on the right of the screen. hopefully that will be fixed Bart

Plus the very big silence from John Venema regarding the new sim seems to point that he is in fact somehow associated with fs2020. He is probably under an NDA but I am willing to bet he is involved. Bart

Unless you have a reason for it!!! LOL

It is a shame, when we were being shown examples of the 3 different internet connections' scenery rendering (Adaptive Streaming, Offline Mode, Pre- Cache) that they didn't show the same area with 3 different modes for a proper comparison! Maybe it was done for a reason????? Cheers, Bart

Hello everyone, I am using a devise called "X-Keys" as a programable button board. Simply assign a "ctrl shift l" or "ctrl n" to a button and when you press this button that's what the pc reads. Works perfectly well with the previous Queen of the skies and all other aircraft. However, with the new queen there is a problem where the queen doesn't read any ctrl or shift functions from the board. (Example "ctrl shift F is simply read as F). The aircraft does read them correctly from the keyboard. I have checked this with previous queen and it works just fine, reading the assigned keys the way I programmed them from X-keys. Thanks for your help Bart Paduchowski
