The Best 2024 Yhing is
No, just something with the sensibility of a poorly developed AI bot I think. Anyway. The grass is beautiful in the sim today! I will think of something else to say tomorrow to support this wonderful life-changing sim with faults we must simply all overlook and not talk about in case we hurt its feelings. I mean, look at the pretty colours man!

September 2026 Developer Livestream
You come across as quite insulting for no reason, which makes me wonder if you are feeling alright. I tend to respond in kind to rude people anyway. He answered somebody else's question perfectly, not the one you had in your head. If you really don't understand the difference, then...

September 2026 Developer Livestream
This is EXACTLY how I feel. Seb's 'lecture' on LODs is not what we needed - he needs to listen to the problem. His surprise at the wheels issue, and especially saying it is a 'per aircraft' thing again, proves they are disconnected in some ways. Disappointing.

. That's another side affect of the Asobo LOD adjustments. I get this with lots of scenery / ground objects, and it is also what causes the missing wheel problems, and I believe linked to the slow rendering in the cockpit when going from inside to external view then back again, when the sim choses to flush the previous rendering and build up the cockpit from lower LODs again. I never had any of these issues during SU3, I was loving the sim. They started at SU4 for me when they made the 'optimisations'. 🙄 I might phrase a question for the Q&A, but then my last one on the DX12 ground tiles going missing was pushed of by Martial saying 'well it's a big world to cover'. This caused a riot in the live text, causing Jorg to intervene and asking Martial to maybe take another look at the issue. It was fixed at next update, after a 14 months of asking, Jorg is a great champion of the sim and the only one I have any respect for on these Q&A sessions. I wouldn't pay the other character in chocolate buttons!

Simulation Daily Interviews Jorg Neumann at Gamescom
Any way of stopping forum access to the one line bots that continually spout nonsense? 🙄 It kind of dilutes the conversation to a farce. But maybe that is their point. Maybe I try a block for the first time. I wouldn't be missing anything useful. 🙂

Anyone tried the new 616.64 driver yet?
It can say 'too many requests' but I tried it a while later and I got in. Probably being bombarded by requests for that page at the moment. I have tried the drivers. As expected, no discernible difference. I never had the flickering problem as I missed the dodgy driver that caused them.

If you do a google search for 'Nvidia 616.86' it will take you to the Nvidia 616.86 hotfix driver download page.

Sim Update 6.1 - 1.8.16.0
Yep, I hate these throw-away comments. It is a core bug in the sim and Asobo need to fix it. In any case, it shouldn't happen on any setting. If people want to run with waves at medium they should be able to without having to deal with this word not allowed. Yet another core sim issue that Asobo drag their feet fixing. Still, if you read the SU6 bug fix list, they do seem to fix a couple of hundred issues that nobody seems to have, care about, or even understand.

Maybe BBD might be open to some feedback on the tree sizes. That would be good.

Sim Update 6 (v1.8.14.0) now available
Yep - how frustrating. At this point I really just wish Asobo would pass this over to people who are competent at version / quality control. Five years later, same old issues. 🙄 I really wish Working Title could take on the updates to the core sim, maybe with an enlarged team. They would knock it out of the ground I think. Everything they do has detail and quality written all over it.

Favorite airfield for FPS testing?
Due to the daily variance of MSFS performance for seemingly random issues or maybe even server bandwidth problems, these measurements are nothing more than a rough guide anyway really. As other people have eluded to, as long as you are happy with the smoothness of your favourite aircraft over your favourite scenery / airport, all is fine. Even at 200 fps, loading stutters will always happen anyway occasionally.

Hard right rudder MSFS2024 SU6
Well if they are skidding they may have complete loss of traction and thus directional influence, and then the combined effects of prop torque and P-factor may take them off to the left depending on direction of prop rotation. So it could actually be the correct effect. Jets behave quite differently. Are you feeding in power gradually? If they require full right rudder all of the time on take off then something is wrong with controller set-up or your technique. There is not much else I can think of. Anybody else having this problem? My single props require a little to the right until decent rudder authority kicks in, then it gradually requires less and less as the speed builds. I tend to think this is normal and how it has been in flight sims throughout the years. You seem to intimate it is new in SU6. I haven't flown much in SU6 but I don't remember experiencing this with the Piper Dakota or C172, so maybe a bad update, or the update upset your controls calibration (which has happened to me at times).

MSFS2024 loading time
I am thinking that should read 'frame rate cap is ignored during initial boot'. If mine was set to 30 FPS (where I want it) and takes ages to load. If it was set it to 60 FPS or unlimited, it absolutely zoomed through the loading at start up. Hopefully this fix will cure that.

SU6 and Still Delayed Loading
Well it is visible on youtube as well, although some content makers are editing video fades in between swapping views now to remove the issue. It is also dependent on what aircraft and resolution you use for sure. You seem to have the secret sauce Fielder, so if you could bottle it and sell it that would be good! 😁

SU6 and Still Delayed Loading
But are you swapping views from inside to outside and then back? Swapping views internally doesn't trigger the issue.

SU6 and Still Delayed Loading
It is not. Many of us have tried lots of things, including fully downloading. That doesn't work and I have spent hours chasing my tail trying to fix it. No more - it is just a waste of time. Why it can't be fixed is because it is something inherent in the sim now due to Asobo's 'performance adjustments'. Still, the xbox kids have 100 fps now, so there we are. It never happened before the SU4 'optimisations'. SU3 was the best version of the sim I had, and performance was fine for me with a mediocre PC. It doesn't bother some people. These tend to be the people who think is it also alright to see traffic with disappearing gear within a short radius as well in this modern cutting edge simulator. While I check each update occasionally in hope of a fix, I am at the stage where I really don't care much any more, especially if other simmers and MS / Asobo don't care about it. There are other enjoyable things to do in life.

SIM UPDATE 6 BETA 1.8.11.0 Aug 5th
I don't anymore. The sim has lost quality since SU3 without a doubt. Some say it doesn't bother them. They are the perfect customers. I bet I could get defective products from my company out of the bin and sell them to them and they wouldn't complain. Money wise it would be like taking candy from a baby! 😄 On a more serious note. These people don't help matters as Asobo will do nothing about it with their attitude. I have never known another sim with so many of these graphical issues. There is currently much better out there, and that is where my time and money resides now. I am much happier. I just regret having invested so much into MSFS to then have the rug pulled. But hey-ho, once bitten twice shy.

Thanks Jon - That started perfectly. Not sure what all the kerfuffle is about! 😄

Welcome to the Synaptic A220 - Releases next week on the MP
It's really disrespectful to call people 'whiners' when they have genuine issues, but it is what I expect from the usual crowd that do it here at Avsim. They also over-use the word 'entitled' to turn it on people in a negative way. I would say paying customers are entitled to level criticism where it is due. And in a public forum, even people who haven't bought the product are entitled to comment about it. These people try to shut conversation down in these threads by throwing insults to make people feel bad. Seems to me they are the entitled ones by trying to force conversation away from a direction they don't want. Say what you want good people, and hold whatever opinions you want; don't let the zealots shut you down.

Come on Bill! You are that dizzy about your new toy that you are losing it. You can't have the COWS DA-42 at both number three and number six. 😀 I genuinely want to know what your other plane would be to make the numbers up.

Missing landing gear saga in MSFS 2024 ...
It isn't just this LOD issue. The kludge you get when changing views from cockpit to outside and back again is terrible, and I think this is a LOD issue as well, as the cockpit gradually renders in (worse with steam gauges). This is worse to me that the landing gear issue, as I can turn traffic off, but not my cockpit! The SU6 release notes said they were attending to aggressive LOD culling. With SU6 and the update afterwards, I see no changes - just as bad. I just don't think they know what to do, or don't care as it has been done for the console crowd to give them better performance. I't alright though. I just respond in kind. I barely fly in the sim anymore due to the issues, and my marketplace purchases have dropped to zero. The 'other sim' and IL-2 Korea early access can keep me happy if MS / Asobo aren't bothered.
