Streaming/downloads is the same thing, when you stream videos it's the same as paying for the bandwidth of a download.

Well, no it isn't. The files they serve are from a different structure of servers that are sync'd worldwide, and download faster than any stream. Streaming is not the same as downloading. Not by a long shot. For one, streaming downloads at the rate the video plays. Also some streaming services charge per stream, as opposed to file sharing services that charge per MB/GB etc.

That beings said I feel they could've used Vimeo's service (as they do on some videos) but I'm unsure what limitations Vimeo has. Afterall, there is a LOT of video.

I will say this. The videos are worth it. Just to watch, not even to use with PDMG. It's fairly detailed.

However, the fact they want to charge for downloads is iffy. They serve those files on a different server with what they stream. They could've offered some kind of premium service to pay for downloads, but also give a free slower download option.

But streaming vs. download services are kind of iffy on whether you have to right to download something you are streamed or not.

A pop-up comes up saying your card will be charged $0.00. It's rather confusing. I wasn't even sure how to buy the real product honestly.

Tweak sure as heck works all around. 30fps in KDPX airport with real weather (broken clouds)

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=120

Interesting. I haven't seen this tweak suggested yet. Curious to see others results.

There will be NO "improvements" to the core code. They don't have a license to alter the source code, AFIAK.

 

They are allowed to fix the multiplayer and make FSX Steam compatible, so steam will accept it. My guess is that's all.

I have 32GB 2400ghz RAM.  We don't need no stinking paging file.

 

RAM itself is used differently than the paging file. A lot of apps use the page file regardless of how much RAM you have free.

Homeland Security in the US would never allow it's use! By definition to get it's flight data, would require connection to the main systems of the aircraft. Something the DHS would not allow because of the possibility of a hacker gaining access. Remember DHS made Boeing redesign their entertainment system on the 787 because it wasn't isolated from the main systems, causing one of it's delays.

 

It could be allowed, just not EVERY single detail. As I've stated, I've been on an airline where the entertainment system would tell you airspeed and altitude, with a map of where you are. Those stats could be grabbed from other sources not directly connected to the airplane (maybe GPS). But access to entire flight data? Errr...probably not. And in a way, that may be boring.

I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of segment where you see the cockpit via video feed. That's it. No direct stats needed. That's probably what the general public would be interested in.

Or you could even do some kind of introduction segment where the pilots tell you things. Sort of a live video tour.

Those using addons with no P3D support are going to get mixed results with any updates. At least the supported addons will update accordingly (as most have with 2.3)

Just FYI to the OP:

http://fscaptain.proboards.com/thread/1886/notam-fscaptain-1-5-brewing

They seem to update at the forums, and don't bother with the site.

Flying Frontier once they allow you to see airspeed, alt, etc.

However, only at cruise altitude.

Ask yourself if you would be happy being filmed on your job.

Um...they are recorded and every move of the plane is recorded. Though those recordings only come to light in a disaster.

Silly boy! You deserve to get bounced around for flying in the red!

Actually it wasn't me that flew. It was my friend that wanted to try. I had him try the F22 at first in PDX. Then I had him try the Q400 to show how realistic it is. I loaded up PAYA, with real weather.

I screwed up the checklist (which I didn't even really have, it was by heart) and he took off at the LOWEST prop setting. After that I realized it, fixed it, but then he entered some weather. All red. Roller coaster ride.

On top of that, I didn't pay attn to ice. That happened. Getting out of the clouds fixed everything to a smooth ride. Shows just how awesome OpusFSI is.

Note: We were both drunk.

Also FSUIPC was NOT installed. However, I am going to install it because there are some really weird lag/dead zone issues by default.

I am curious… Has anybody reported their experience with the latest OpusFSX and REX textures with P3DV 2.3?

 

Yes, I don't get FPS hit when going through clouds. I however did get a hit when going through weather that no pilot in their right mind (in a q400) would enter. All red on the radar between the north pole and Alaska.

Wait, so does this software make any monitor or HDTV into 3d? Or does that still take a specific model? I still don't really know why 3d support is needed. Is it the polarization that's needed? I thought that was WITHOUT glasses (like the Nintendo 3ds)

I don't seem to have any major stutters, and I'm not using FSUIPC at the moment. Anyone here NOT using that AND getting stutters?

How long do I need to fly to test VAS? I did it for nearly two hours and it didn't seem to increase at all. It actually decreased a bit.

Err....TS2013 to TS2014 was free I believe. At least it was for me.

With FTX Global, Vector, REX4, OpusFSI (beta), PNW, and NCA I flew from PDX to basically somewhere in Canada (just pointed north) for about 1.5 hours in the Q400.

My VAS remained around the same and never creeped up. I'm not using any AI addons though, and the only NON-native addon is EZCA.

I'd be curious to know if those that are using the migrator to import certain scenery and such are having the most issues with VAS.

I thought it was a flight sim at first as there are stutters. No really...there are. But due to the camera or YouTube.

6'3"

Turn off volumetric fog and see what happens.

 

Also, just to be crystal clear... you did delete your shader cache between 2.2 and 2.3, right?

If you are speaking to me, I did a full re-install on a brand new SSD. I deleted the folders from Documents and AppData as well.

Ah, well I only run at a standard 1920 x 1080 on an HDTV.

Odd....never had that issue.

 As far as the OOM goes, I haven't had it yet but I haven't done hour long flights, so I guess I'll find out eventually.

I'll try when I get home but I've never had bathemetry turned on

I've heard that's for subs and such, but I've never seen the difference or what it actually does.

As I stated in the other FPS thread: Try turning off ALL water reflections. I'm curious if that helps at all. Mine were initially all off.
