They actually got a bit worse after the Kok left. Who would have expected that? Anyway, no, not a scam, just a really poor and untrustworthy developer now. They were alright during their FSX / P3D days. I loved their A320 series. But after the Twin Otter fiasco and their mean attitude, I have vowed not to buy anything ever again from them, and I am not doing to bad up to now.

This is exactly it Funky. And the evidence is all over youtube with videos from various content creators who even make reference to the issue. So it isn't just 'Bobcat's' computer or setup, as some would like to gaslight. However, we have the usual fanclub here who can't take any criticism of their favourite toy to the degree of denial and only responding with insults. And as for the same 'old tired arguments', well they might be, but actually they are sadly the same old tired TRUTHS that some people just can't tolerate. But its OK. It tends to come from same old tired anti-clever people who tend to reply with petulant snipes rather than wanting to improve the situation, so their views are worth nothing, apart from maybe having a laugh at them from time to time as they are so absurd. 😄

Yes, yet another regression caused by not including code from previous improvements. It is at the stage where the issues with quality control are just very sad now. They don't seem capable of learning.

Well, for the record, I think you are misunderstanding it, or you have picked up on something where someone has not described it very well. There is no delay in changing views, but the view is messed up for a split second straight afterwards. You have to wait for the cockpit to render properly or for the LODs to adjust or whatever. It looks a mess for a split second before then. It was fine until SU4, when they tried to 'optimise' a few things. 🙄

Well in your case I understand if that is what you want to do, but I wouldn't do it your way either, it seems even more of a hassle to do all of that than taking about five seconds to change one setting in the menu. Each to their own.

Yes strange indeed. I only us high frame rate for loading. I set back to locked at 30 fps plus fg in sim (gives 60 fps) , otherwise I get stuttering and PC running too hot. Unfortunately it means I have to set it back to unlimited before I quit the sim. If I forget, I edit the user config file and save it before I start the sim, and that works also.

Maybe there are some company differences / rules as well. When I flew from Kittila in Finland to Manchester, UK, we had to take on more fuel in Gothenburg in Sweden, and they made us get off the British Airways 737 and wait in the transit lounge until completed. I seem to remember it was an air bridge though, not steps, so that might also be a difference.

I can't vote as the lowest date is 2028, and for me it is all but over currently with the terrible LOD, the kludge when changing views, and other issues. I barely use it now, and if I do I am hardly in there for 20 minutes before I get fed up of all the idiosyncrasies and quit out. At least I have saved hundreds in addons over the last few months (since SU4 took it the wrong way). And the marketplace is dead to me anyway after the MScenery scandal that took too long to shut down, and even now still has scams on there. They knew about it for so long but didn't care about us did they? And I don't particularly want a newer 2028 version so that I have to buy all of my addons again. That was one of the biggest lies they made about 2024. After 30 odd years of flight simming, and quite frankly sick of MS and Asobo. I think I am finally done with it and will move on to other things.

...with 15% off as a limited time deal. I might finally go for it now. In the meantime, has anybody got any comments on the performance of the Tristar in the sim with the latest update? I am a bit worried about that. I notice they offer to transfer the marketplace purchase to their store as well now. I might even pick up the new Corfu airport while I am there.

You're an old cynic! 😄 You should have an 'Old Cynic' T-shirt made for our upcoming UK flight sim meet, if it happens - I hope so. Although, if that picture of you is accurate, I will need one made out as 'The Older Cynic' for me. 🙃

True about the steam gauge Carenado's that's for sure. It is disheartening, but MSFS is still the best sim we have I think. I just wish they could knock some of the sharp edges off and I would want to fly a lot more.

Yes, I know what you mean. I have not had good experiences myself either, and I have had a few questions batted away by Martial in the Twitch sessions. The one where we were all getting tile bleed through at airports was pushed away with 'well, the world is a big place'. Ultimately some who had joined the twitch session convinced Jorg to push Martial to take another look at the issue, otherwise it would have just been left. And then you get the usual guardians shouting you down, or belittling the issues anyway. It makes you want to give up. On the regressions, it seems they have slightly different teams doing different SU's at different times from what I can gather. So one team might be on say SU5 using SU4 as a base, and another working further ahead on SU6, using SU4 as a base as well (as it is all they have at that stage). so then, sometimes better code from SU5 gets missed for inclusion in SU6. That is the only way I can figure out the regressions, but ultimately it is down to poor quality control, as we have known for quite some time now.

It has always been the same for me since SU4. It never got any better with SU5 as I don't think they changed anything to do that. It can just appear better sometimes depending on the various aircraft and scenery in use. I have found steam gauge aircraft perform the worst for me. I love to fly the Piper Dakota but not really touched it since SU4 other than to test at each update - in hope! I don't fly much these days anyway, mainly due to this issue, but I keep holding out hope they can reverse / fix the issue. Apparently it is by design rather than a bug, but I don't understand why MS / Asobo don't see it. It is all over YouTube with the various content creators every time they chance view from inside to outside and back again. Some actually video edit a fade in/out or edit it out completely now in the videos.

Well it is for me. Why on earth loading times are related to what frame rate you set in the sim is beyond me. Maybe someone might have a technical explanation for it? In the main I would say the biggest difference noticeable is when locked at 30 fps in sim. Loading takes a lot longer for me compared to 60 fps. Really strange!
