Right, so what your eyes are seeing is 45-50fps.

Top left, should show something like "30 / 60" with the first number being your real framerate, and second number the interpolated framerate.

How are you monitoring framerate? Only way to see actual is to enable "DrawFPS" option in Lossless Scaling.

I don't believe Lossless Scaling has any colour filters at all. But perhaps it stops reshade working if you use that?

Why do your 3rd party addons need to be secure? It only really makes sense for the dev as a means to stop piracy, but they sell unencrypted on other sites, so seems they don't care about that anyway.

I would imagine that $1m+ is probably not out of the question for just the first day.

After clicking Scale you just have to focus back on MSFS within 5 seconds. Otherwise you can use the keyboard shortcut that you set in Lossless Scaling (default is Ctrl + Alt + S). As for filters. Just make sure to turn off scaling, and only turn on frame generation (yes, the on button is labelled "Scale" but we actually don't want to do any scaling).

Tbh, kinda glad I don't like airliners. Seems expensive. Not just the price of the plane, but the hardware to run them lol. From a layman's perspective though, it does look good. I think it's going to be loved by the community.

Well, I found an issue. For some reason my FPS plummets when I have both AI traffic + Lossless Scaling turned on. Not sure why. Even if I then turn off traffic my FPS continues to be awful with Lossless Scaling until I restart the flight. Very odd. With Lossless Scaling turned off, having traffic doesn't seem to have any major impact and my PC maintains 30fps. Doesn't matter if I use MSFS AI traffic or FSLTL - same issue. Very strange. I have to have no traffic if I want to use LS. EDIT: Hmmm, after further testing I'm kinda stumped. Seems to depend on airport. But I don't get how it's fine at somewhere like KSFO with traffic, but terrible at my local NZAA. Oh the joys of flight sim.

Yeah, plane flies wonderfully for me. Trims nicely - well... as nicely as a non-A2A aircraft can 🙂

Yes, you have to keep base rate at 30fps, or close to it (down to 25fps seems to be ok to my eye). Personally I find the difference between 30fps and 60fps quite noticeable, especially with headtracking, so to be able to play at 60fps is really wonderful and imo gives a better sense of flight. Best few $$ I spent.

It's quite old now, there are a LOT of videos on it, so you should have known what you were getting into tbh. I have a few BSq planes and I actually prefer the C414. That said, everyone has different expectations and desires. I don't care too much about failures for example, and I really like planes that feel good to hand fly. I think the C414 for 50% off was a great purchase personally.

Mind blown. Never thought I'd see 60fps on a RTX2060, but here we are. Thanks Lossless Scaling.

Alternators are turned on with battery unless using external power. If using external power, turn them on after engine start. Cowl flaps; levers pulled out = closed (it says so right next to the levers). I think you'll like the plane once you get the hang of her. I was kinda the same when I got it. Manual and checklist seemed lacking, but I slowly fell in love with the plane regardless. Very nice to fly.

It's honestly a little gutting, cus I actually love (IRL) most of the planes they release. I have a thing for classics. But AH charge top tier prices for half baked products. When you're competing in price with people like Flying Iron you have to do better. The other downside is it makes the aircraft they release less likely to be developed by someone else. I would love an A2A or Flying Iron P51D.

So which has the best view? Because that's honestly why I've mostly avoided twins for all these years - I like them but then I can't see much of the wonderful scenery (unless going external cam ofc, but who does that??).

Yes, that's the thing. I like to fly VFR a lot and value good views. I actually lie, I have a couple of twin props. The BN2 and the Beech 18 (which is very good with Denarq mod). I guess I'm just missing a more modern, twin cruiser.

Yes, the Duke sounds amazing even in the vids. Does the 414 have any wear and tear? Or failures?

Haha. Yes, well, it's easy to spend money on MSFS that's for sure. Difficult choice. I will probably end up doing what I always do... procrastinating and then end up just flying one of the excellent single piston planes I have lol.

So if someone is looking for their first 3rd party twin piston, would you guys say Duke or 310R? Pros and cons of both?

Ouch. Just watched it. Definitely some room for improvement. Sounds like they've at least patched the vectoring issue already.

I can't get over that A-pillar. Maybe it's ok IRL, but in the sim it restricts the view too much. I've always disliked the DA-62 for the same reason.

The Aeroplane Heaven version released less than a year ago, so I would not be surprised if this fella had already started development on their one, especially as it seems to be a one man band. I can imagine it might be a tough call to scrap everything you've been working on, especially if you've done a lot of preparatory work too. And even more so if it's a plane they have a fondness for.

In Opentrack you can also adjust the axis offsets. So for example if you are too close you can adjust the Z axis offset. However it sounds like you just don't like looking down. Which is fair enough. Tbh neither do I. But I probably wouldn't use this on an airliner anyway. It's better suited for VFR flights in planes where you don't often need to look down.

You definitely need to mess with the curves in Opentrack to get it feeling as good as possible.
