Great shots! What cockpit textures are those?
-
I have not noticed msfs simulating this correctly. Irl as soon as you climb above those low level cumulus the thermals smooth right out. Same thing happens when you cross the coastline, over the water it smooths right out irl.

Active Sky coming to MSFS
Pilot53 replied to carlanthony24's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Looks interesting, but one thing I dont get is this broken and overcast turbulence simulation? An overcast layer is typically stratiform and smooth. Turbulence in the real world is based on cloud type, not sky coverage. Turbulence in clouds needs to be related to thermals and wind changes within the cloud itself. Cumulus clouds are always turbulent in real life, with intensity increasing with the size and height of the cloud. Stratus clouds are smooth, and cirrus can be choppy in an area of jet stream shear, or they can be smooth. None of this has anything to do with whether the clouds form a broken or overcast layer. -
New CRJ sound set inbound (Boris Audio Works)
Pilot53 replied to micstatic's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Sounds great, I hope he does one for the pmdg 737! -
Something about the cockpit texturing doesnt look quite right, the texturing looks very high resolution so its not that. It just the coloring and texturing that looks a bit off to me, almost a bit cartoonish, like something is missing. The rest looks pretty good based on what I can see from that very short video.

Fenix A320 - Air Canada Retro (WIP)
Pilot53 replied to rmeier's topic in The AVSIM Screen Shots Forum
Its worth every penny and more! Imo it is the single best airliner addon ever released for a desktop sim all things considered now that their custom engine model has been developed and implemented. The fslabs was great too, but visually I always felt their texturing was sub par even back in the day. The fenix just has everything now. -
Fenix displays are too dark now
Pilot53 replied to roi1862's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Brown eyes here, I found the old fenix displays far too bright in all phases, now they are just right. I really hope they dont change them again. The real a320 has somewhat dim displays too compared to other aircraft. Both a330 driver and v1simulations have said they look more realistic now. -
Fenix A320 Low Fuel Temperature
Pilot53 replied to zachlog's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
My guess is probably a random failure or bug also. -1 degree fuel temp is no problem. Was that your actual fuel temp as indicated on the fuel page? -
Revisiting the Caribbean - Part 1

Are water masks in the carribean back yet? -
That's a reasonable response, he should have just said that last week instead.

LOL, I could see the point with the last post about RSR's rude interactions with some very long time forum members, but this time its just ridiculous. For heavens sake why cant people just be happy they are providing these progress updates every weekend, its better than radio silence for months.

PMDG Dev update 01/27/2024 More 777 Previews
Pilot53 replied to Krakin's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I acknowledge the fact that there are a few others, that's why I used the word hardly. When fenix releases their external engine model I believe they will easily surpass PMDG in overall simulation fidelity. Never flown the Hjet so I cannot comment on that one. I could write an essay on the tiny little details that PMDG and Fenix simulate that put their airplanes a notch above everything else out there though as an overall package. Many things would not be noticed unless one has really studied those airplanes and jet airliners in general. -

Pilot53 replied to Krakin's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Youve got to give one thing to pmdg though, at least with their 737 series: it may be a lot of recycled code from fsx with new features added, but so far in the airliner space for msfs there is hardly anyone who has been able to touch their level of systems and flight model fidelity. It just goes to show how strong their product base code was back in 2013, it has held up so well over the years. I dont like rsr's attitude but I do get a lot of enjoyment out of their products. -

Same here, I mean honestly what on earth was he thinking writing that? Does he not already know he is viewed in such a poor light by so much of the community?
