Still looks like using the same clouds sadly. One of the things I feel really lets the sim down graphically.

Well given there isn’t a Quality Wings in the sim would have to be better!! in all seriousness, just taken it on a quick spin, not bad for free. Lots of bugs, and not close to what I would expect from a payware product, (I know it isn’t one, but just as a comparison to PMDG level). But it’s the first release, I’m sure they will fix things. Have a lot of respect for WT. But for me, at the moment, not good enough quality to use.

How is the aircraft loaded with fuel and payload? Also anyone have the best simbrief profile? For 787 this is. Thanks

Anything about improving live weather and cloud rendering?

Oh they can still use them to stick in a little cheeky graphical downgrade or two.

Thanks so I would only need the base packages from FSLTL and then I can inject via FSHud and FSHud would also control the spacing etc?

So to use this software, to see the other planes I can use the FSLTL Base models is that correct? But I don't use the FSLTL injector, the injection is all done by FSHud?

Seems VNAV is even better in latest experimental too.

PMDG 737 all the way for the time being. Performance is substantially better and allows MSFS to be run on higher visual settings. Visuals are what MSFS is about. If not interested in visuals might as well use P3D or Xplane which are better 'simulations'. Still waiting on some fixes for VNAV for the Fenix as well whereas the 737's is good.

You need two computers to run the Fenix anyway with the FPS.. I jest.

Yep, would love to see some improvement on the clouds. The ones I really hate are the volcanic ash, cauliflower ones. So unrealistic and look awful. Also I think the clouds are a lot of the time too yellow/brown unless it’s absolutely midday and the sun is shining bright.

Haven't noticed a change, clouds still poor.

If that is where your community and official folders are located then it is correct, if they aren’t in that location, then you need to change it to the path of where they are actually located.

I am unfamiliar with YourControls, but would definitely like to give it ago. Presuming this Refresh Rate setting is something in the YourControls settings and not one's monitor or anything like that?

No, not at all. It’s under the DATA section in the main options in sim.

I always used to have PG on. When it's good it looks amazing. However these days I normally fly airliners, and so unless its the landing or departing airport that has PG I very rarely see a city close enough to appreciate the it. In addition most of my flying is into Heathrow with the virtual airline I fly with. And it has to be said, London PG is absolutely terrible. A real melted mess and for me never seems to load properly anyway. So I recently turned it off. I am enjoying not flying over awful London PG, and also the performance boost that comes with it off.

Nooo, I asked him first. 😢😢😢

What path is set for MSFS in the usercfg?

Yep, I really wanted to fly cross the pond yesterday but no aircraft to do it, and I didn’t want to have to reinstall P3D just for one day. Yeah I could have used to A310 I suppose, but I hate that aircraft. It’s ugly and too old. (Just like me).

Yep, not at the start, like I will get very very similar performance with road traffic, boats fauna, etc. However over time, the performance just got worse and worse, and manipulators rising. Eg a European short haul, from similar airport to similar airport, would start with say 50fps and slowly decrease until about 20fps at arrival with huge stutters. Then I could load back in at the same airport I just landed, same gate, same time, same weather, etc and would be back up around 50. But I saw a post on the official forums saying they hadn’t had this since turning off those kind of traffic. I did this, and suddenly never got the performance degradation. I have never used AI traffic or other aircraft traffic anyway. So all I changed was having cars and boats and fauna, ground vehicles etc on, to off and suddenly this performance degradation completely stopped.

Thanks for this. There are still some problems with VNAV in the A320 in experimental, it absolutely isn’t ‘bang on by the book’. But again not criticising, I genuinely believe it’s a brilliant project and it’s amazing what people have done with their free time. Haha, I am one of the ‘musters’, it just gives me that extra kick to do what has been done in real life, hey, I never even do a flight without departing and arriving from the same gate and at the same time that the actual aircraft did. I will check out some of the shorter routes in the A380 for sure. It’s certainly an amazing project and an amazing aircraft, a friend of mine flies them for Emirates and is just totally in love!

Is it a different dev team to the a320? Would be great to have a fully functioning vnav on the a320, still don’t have it yet, so doesn’t give me huge hope for the a380. On a personal level I won’t get it anyway because have no interest in sitting at my PC for the hours it would take to do an A380 route, but I’m sure so folk are super hyped for it. Also not knocking the devs at all, obviously it’s freeware so grateful for anything they do!

Hmm, I dunno, msfs clouds can look absolutely great sometimes, and also sometimes absolutely awful.

For me the performance drop during flights only stopped when I turned off all Traffic, including road traffic, ships, fauna, ground vehicles etc etc. Luckily this stuff doesn't bother me. I would be interested to see if you saw an increase in manipulators on dev mode fps counter with this performance loss during flights.

I have to say, that I do find the clouds to be awful in MSFS sometimes even on ULTRA. Just landed at Heathrow with this, I have to say, to me it looks pretty horrific and totally unrealistic. https://imgur.com/a/zDMCuYS
