vin747

i have also disabled shader cache in nvidia app.. so i dont have to clear the cache anymore.. but still it doesnt work.. no shader files anymore.. for reference, i loaded up the ifly max and the internal lights work beautifully including the complex lighting themes in FAP.. fenix internal lights also work great.. only pmdg lights are broken and they have been for more than a year now..

I moved to latest nvidia driver which requires DX12.. now, the 777 internal lights do not illuminate cabin and cargo area.. its a show stopper for me as i fly exclusively night ops.. when i was in dx11, i used to clear shader cache as a workaround.. I have done nearly 10 flights in the 77F few months ago and the lights used to work really well as long as i cleared shader cache.. but this no longer works in dx12 or dx11 with their latest build from OC3. so i switched back to older driver 566.14 and moved to dx11.. but with latest 777 build, none of the internal lights work, except for the VC.. i have the cargo and the 300er.. same issue in both.. I have raised a ticket in pmdg oc3, but they haven't been able to find a fix so far.. also they are buried in firefighting 2024 bugs.. so wanted to get help from avsim veterans here.. has anybody else tested the 777 night lights with latest 777 build and dx11 or dx12 and have got the illumination to work?

the 777 cabin lighting is still broken in msfs2020, dx12.. clearing shaders cache wont fix the bug.. disappointing they still didnt fix this for many months.. have raised a ticket..

I hope the option to disable camera transitions exists like it did in the p3d world.. When you have low fps the transitions are very choppy.. Will be nice to instantly switch views like we do in fixed cameras..

hey @guenseli, thanks for your excellent AAO profile.. I have made some additions to it - mainly added many ON/OFF options.. this is because I use honeycomb alpha and bravo, which have a lot of ON/OFF buttons and less of TOGGLE switches.. So now you can flip the landing light switch on/off and it will operate both the Left & Right switches together with a single flip.. just like you had done for the PMDG 737.. so all lights are on/off and can still be mapped as toggle for those who prefer that.. I have also mapped the autobrake to the rotary switch on the yoke.. I think the wider community will benefit from this based on comments i've seen on flightsim.to where people kept asking for ON/OFF options.. can i email you my script and template files, so that you can upload an update to your AAO profile on flightsim.to? I w'd prefer if you upload this instead of me uploading a new profile since you have a wider reach in the community..

Just watched a stream from A330driver where he landed at an airport stored locally on his machine and still saw horrible blurries and heavy stutters.. So maybe there is something beyond streaming of assets that is the culprit here.. Very disturbing..

Hi @Watsi, I just tested again with the 380, cold and dark.. beacon light off, park brake ON.. but no visible chocks in external model.. i was able to see other visible services like cones, GPU, catering, luggage etc.. also, unlike the A320, there is no option in the flypad settings page (sim options page) for enabling wheel chocks and cones.. maybe this feature only exists for the 320 and not the 380? https://docs.flybywiresim.com/aircraft/a32nx/feature-guides/wheel-chocks-cones/#overview I'm on the 4K developer version.. maybe this works on the standard version? let me check..

Just downloaded the FBW 380.. looks great and VRAM just under 14GB @ KLAX with FSLTL.. this is with 4K version and cabin enabled... so I do have 10 GB headroom thanks to my RTX 3090.. In the services page - I didn't see any option for enabling wheel chocks.. anybody know how to enable wheel chocks or when this feature will be added? I'm unable to ask this in the discord due to phone number issues.. can only read fbw discord, but not ask questions.. sp pls help me out here at avsim.. 🙂 thanks!

I hope inibuilds holds off on the A350 release until asobo gets their act together.. Don't want a high quality addon marred by a lousy platform.. Inibuilds doesn't deserve this..

A330driver just reviewed the A400M and it was smashingly good.. But when he landed, runway textures were a blurry mess.. Awesome work by inibuilds spoiled by lousy cloud streaming strategy of Microsoft.. The only acceptable thing to stream is satellite imagery, PG, etc... Not airports and aircraft.. Those assets should be local..

show me the load times with a stack full of addons and thousands of AIG flight plans and models.. show me the performance at JFK with 50+ FSLTL AI flying around.. not just FPS but also it should be stutter free if multi core is truly working as it should.. i already saw some severe stutters when A330driver was landing in his streams.. this was vanilla sim without any addons or AI.. and whenever he changed views and came back to flight deck, the FCU textures were still loading for 2 to 3 secs..

That being said, some things are different for real. For example: I couldn't find an option to get rid of the cinematics during the loading of the sim. I couldn't find an option to disable the music during the loading (music in the UI can be disabled exactly like MSFS2020, no problems) I couldn't find any options to get directly in the cockpit instead of the walkaround (yet) I think for your last point - Shift+C will get you into the cockpit I believe.. don't have the sim myself, but saw this in a youtube stream.. AirNoTT i think.. try it out..

I'm interested in seeing fps comparisons with 50+ AI from fsltl etc in a large airport.. Curious to see if AI is handled by other cores so that main core isn't hammered.. I don't think multi core is working as it should.. Still see stutters in YouTube streams esp after landing..

Believe it or not, I waited ONE whole year before buying and installing MSFS 2020.. At that time, I was rocking XP11 with all addons fully mature and having a blast.. I continuously monitored the forums on MSFS 2020 feedback.. lot of complaints and issues etc.. - silly bugs like 'when you shut down engines, it immediately takes you to log screen' .. was too gamey for my taste.. it was only after SU5 when things started to settle down and MSFS grew from a game to a sim.. . that's when I plunged in and haven't looked back since then.. briefly toyed with XP12 but uninstalled that to make space for FS24.. perfectly happy with FS20 and can wait even another year before replacing it with FS24.. my take is this: If you are a GA flyer, then you can wait only a month or so before buying FS24.. if you're into tubeliners, then you better wait 6 months or more to take full advantage of the new sim and new sdk that fenix/pmdg will optimize their products for.. they have to essentially take advantage of multicore so that we get smooth fps at mega hubs..

Ya I have always thought the same.. It's such a subtle difference to flight dynamics that it may all just be in the noise... Maybe it's more perceptible on the fuel burn than flight model.. Going by that, they should just release the A319 sharklets too with just maybe fuel burn improvement accounted for.. But really happy with the sharklet update anyway.. Waited long time.. Best msfs addon got better..
