I found it ironic that the YouTuber, commenting on the cost of FlightSimming now being very expensive, first released this video ONLY to his PAYING subscribers on YouTube. After a few days he changed the flag to allow all Youtube viewers to watch.

Me neither

BYD EVs are now the most purchased EV brand in almost all of the world. I say almost, because, they are NOT AVAILABLE in the US due to political decisions to keep BYD out of the US (to protect US brand Tesla). So faced with high price Telsa, with NO option to purchase the much more affordable BYD models, its no surprise that EV sales numbers are lagging behind the rest of the world.

With 10.9.9 drivers loaded, CP still cant see the SpaceMouse. Ive managed a workaround, but its really messy. It involves the use of vJoy (I went through 3 different versions of vJoy hell, only an older version actually worked correctly), and a utility called Sx2vJoy, which maps all of the 6 axis and buttons from the SpaceMouse into vJoy. CP is able to see the vJoy device. What makes this more complex for me is that I am already using vJoy (for StreamDeck<->Sim via vJoy buttons) so configuring 2 vJoy devices just amps up the complexity. But if P42 can add the SpaceMouse API into the CP product, then SpaceMouse will be the ultimate control device for interfacing/controlling CP.

I'm on 10.8.21.3755, Ill try out the new driver version and see if that adds the 3DMouse to Windows list of game controlers ( Im guessing thats why CP cant see the 3DMouse)

Chaseplane does not seem to see/recognize my 3DConnexion SpaceMouse as a device (MSFS2020 & MSFS2024 both do see this as a device with 6 axis/2buttons). Ive raised a ticket with P42.

So, in other words, On Discord he can completely control the narrative. On Avsim, he cannot control the narrative, and therefore negative (and really negative) views get aired and discussed (as they should be). If its good enough for MS/Asobo to have staff visit AVSIM, and answer questions (both good and bad, and there has been LOTS of comments/questions that would be seen in a negative light over the past 12 months) then it should be good enough for S.I. Burying one's head in the sand, not listening/answering genuine concerns/issues of current and possible future customers, by ignoring Avsim, is probably counter-productive. Then again, from what Ive seen over the last 12 months, S.I. will probably give away more freebie S.I. subs to semi and professional streamers (who could probably afford to buy it anyway) to try to present a false image that everything is 'prefect' with S.I.

Influencers = paid shills

I am assuming that Data Centers might be after buying as much current technology RAM as they can, so DDR5, and maybe at a pinch, DDR4? So I am really disappointed to see that 2nd hand prices of DDR3 RAM have also sky rocketed :-(. I was preparing to upgrade an old server of mine running here at home, that uses DDR3/1600 ECC LRDIMMS. Second hand DIMMS of this type were relatively cheap, as this is really old technology now. I was planning on replacing 256GB RAM to 512 GB RAM, but now I see that the 2nd hand price of these old DDR3 sticks has gone up 2.5x This doesnt make any sense to me (no data center and VERY few people would still be buying DDR3/1600 RAM), and yet it seems everyone is keen to extort as much profits from anyone they can, including 2nd hand markets, even if the justifications arent there.

I'm currently on the latest release in 2024 Beta4, and Ive just noticed that the AutoFPS GPU value doesnt seem to be correct. I'm using 2 GPUs AMD Radeon mainboard for non-MSFS output Nvidia 4070Ti Super for MSFS output on 4K screen, plus 2 other screens for non MSFS output I'm running GPU-Z v2.68.0, as well as HWInfo 64 (plus Rainmeter to draw all my perf graphs/system monitored datapoints read from HWInfo64). I've also just moved to a new MB and updated CPU (which may or may not be part of the problem). Previously, the AutoFPS GPU load % matched what I see in my Rainmeter realtime graph, as well as what GPU-Z reports for the NVidia card. But since updating AutoFPS on my new MB/CPU combo, I'm now seeing AutoFPS under-report the GPU load by 18-20%. For example, GPU-Z and Rainmeter (via HWInfo64 output) where showing GPU load of 73%, whereas at the same time Auto-FPS GPU load value was only 55%. Could it be that GPU-Z, can track both GPUs, that perhaps AutoFPS is getting a combined GPU value (AMD Radeon plus Nvidia), as the AMD has very little load, and therefore if AutoFPS is getting an average value of the 2, it could explain the lower number.

Much greener over here, thanks 🙂

Yes, I got the same (tried iniBuilds EGLL and Pyreegue EGPH). Stair only stands (ORBX YMML) seemed to be OK (no GSX errors reported). I tried activating the jetway from the Fenix EFB but that didnt seem to work either. The other thing I noticed at EGLL was that for the first time, BATC didnt seem to be able to create any static traffic (correct SB FP was loaded), but at EGPH and YMML, had no problems creating traffic.

Can you apply Shift+C to the QUICK PREFLIGHT as well, so that the one key combination does both tasks?

Lack of consistency in applying logic to point and counterpoint in this and so many other discussions by so many (including "Sim Wars" threads in other forums here in Avsim) still stand.

and Here is my problem with many discussions on topics some seem very passionate about. And that is the confused, contorted logic that they apply to their arguments and counter arguments. In this example, Dave has claimed that wind turbines are impractical, medieval technology, but later proudly states his power comes from hydroelectic. If using wind to drive a turbine is medieval and not appropriate in this day and age, then doesnt the same logic apply to hydroelectric, where water is turning a water wheel, which also was used in medieval times to drive mills for food production? The same goes for criticizing the use of bearings and generators in wind turbines, yet those same devices are never criticized when used in fossil fueled energy production. If you use one path of logic for your arguments against a particular topic, then please be consistent, and also use it against your own viewpoint if applicable.Then, that would be a genuine and productive discussion. Even the sharpest minds seem to throw out some level of logic when it comes to discussing topics that they are passionate about. One of my Uncles is a nuclear physicist (retired) who has firmly believed in fission as the only power source that the planet should use. I have talked to him about the marvels of engineering that has gone into the design, construction and operation of a fission reactor. However, when it comes to discussing the toxicity, longevity and security risk of the toxic waste, and ongoing cost for future generations to manage and keep the waste safe and secure, he dismisses those concerns as trivial or something for future generations to worry about and solve. Perhaps my problem is that apply logic to everything in my life, and that I don't feel passionate about any topics that I'm willing to throw out all sense and logic to argue a point of view.

Thanks for reminding me-I completely forgot.

(I hope I dont regret starting this thread 🙂 ) Is it just me, or does part of the loading music for MSFS2024 remind anyone else of the 1982 hit "Mad World' (specifically the verse) by Tears For Fears? 🙂

Never looked back? Then you might be lost if you are reading/posting in this MSFS forum. Let me help you guide you to where you probably prefer to hang out Link

Ah, yes, the "Existence of outliers totally destroys any averages calculation" argument. Similar to the old argument "Smoking doesnt cause cancer, my Granny smoked everyday and lived till 80".

Does that mean that someone could claim that, as we no longer live into our 900's, that science has actually REDUCED our lifespan? 🙂

It was the host, and not NDT, that introduced the political aspect into the discussion. Some could argue that such an error in comprehension of a short video could destroy your credibility on many other subjects. FOR THE RECORD - I am personally NOT claiming your credibility is shot on many other subjects over this example, but I do want to highlight that accuracy and detail in any scientific research AND, any counterpoint raised/discusses MUST also adhere to the same levels of accuracy and scrutiny, if the argument is to stand.

GSalden, do you know what spec GPU you would need to run just 1 x 4k monitor and achieve the frame rates you are experiencing now? If so, I wonder, if such a card is relatively cheap enough (compared to a new 5090), perhaps setting up a 3rd computer, with 1 screen per system might give better overall performance for similar amount of money. 1 x 4K screen per system would mean each system could run native FG without having to resort to using lossless scaling app in addition.

Thus as it ever was, from day 1 of the first ever consumer grade Flight Sim (subLogic Flight Simulator 1) to now, and likely to remain true for the future.

Triggered? Honestly, the point of this forum is for everyone to express their feelings and thoughts about MSFS. If you dont like fellow forum member's thoughts/comments about MSFS, then perhaps you should limit yourself to the other forums on Avsim, specifically those catering for whatever your preferred sim product is.

Hot key Toggle Drone/Showcase fault still hasnt been fixed. NOTE: If you have assigned a button or hot key to toggle drone view, be sure to select Camera/Showcase from the menu FIRST before subsequent activating the hotkey/assigned button.
