  1. so, strange enough, the issue disappeared on my next flight the following day. No idea... very strange.
  2. Because I am using Spad, I have no bindings for my yoke and throttle setup in the sim. I use the honeycomb alpha and bravo, for what its worth.
  3. I am finally making the move over to 2024..... Had done a couple of quick fights with the 777 but tried my first full one yesterday. Without chaseplane, I have really been trying to get camera views set up. (PLEASE HURRY TO 2024, CHASEPLANE!) Now any time I change a view, whether that be instrument views or custom views, the yoke goes full forward, AP disengages and i am descending at 6000 fpm. This only happens when I use the key commands on the keyboard.... if I use the camera menu and select an instrument view or showcase view, no issue. I have checked bindings and there is nothing else bound to the key combos I have selected. Confirmed. The only change is that I installed GSX before this flight but cannot imagine that is the cause....
  4. I have been searching for a complete guide but I havent been able to find it. I installed the LVAR bridge but cannot get it to work. In 2020, you have to edit the PMDG aircraft config file for spad to communicate..... is that the case with 2024?
  5. Did a flight with the PMDG 772ER at dusk yesterday.... I mean, I cannot imagine the sim looking any better. Is there a drastic difference? I actually have both on my system but, with my dozens and dozens and dozens of add ons, Ive been sticking with 2020. I do 95% of my flight in the flight levels.... any reason to switch? Especially now that chaseplane is out... I am thinking no way!
  6. Im not going to 2024 until its more stable and more 3rd party add ons are available for it. So, 2020 for the time being. I'd say 90% of my flying is airliner. The reality is that I had not really messed with the settings much under my previous system so I don't really know which settings impact FPS more than others. I was on P3D for years and had that dialed in but never really bothered with MSFS for some reason. I also run a G9 OLED, forgot to mention that. I'd say I really want to push my setup but still maintain 25-30 fps at the very minimum.
  7. I think I need to tweak some things.... Just did a new build things just dont seem right. Granted, I loaded into ultra and almost maxed everything to see what happened. Flightbeam KSFO, PMDG 77W. 9800X3d, 64GB DDR5 6000. I came from a 12900k w/ 32 GB. Caveat is that I am still running my 3080ti until I get my new graphics card.... which will either be a 5080 OR a 7900 XTX... 7900XTX will be my fallback when I end up missing out on a 5080 FE. What are the key settings with my current arrangement? I had frames so low it was difficult to land at SFO, which I have never experienced on my old system.
  8. I skipped the 14th gen chips waiting on the new release.... the initial reviews and benchmarks look horrid. Currently running a 12th gen i9-12900k setup with 3080ti and I am ready to build a new setup. What now? I've been a loyal intel user for the last 20 years with the exception of one build back in the mid 2000's. Is it even worth upgrading at this point? P3D and now MSFS is the main focus for my builds.... I do some other light gaming here and there but not much.
  9. Is there an easy way to wipe everything in the sim instead of going one-by-one?
  10. Im starting to experiment with my own setup as compared to using snippets in the past. I use the honeycomb yoke and throttle, fyi. I have a basic question on how spad works.... it does not actually complete the bindings within MSFS, correct? meaning, when I go to the controls menu, will all of the changes be reflected there? If this is the case, can I just wipe all bindings that exist in the MSFS controls menu? I have had some conflict issues that was unaware of so I figured if spad doesnt mess with the in-sim control menus at all, I can just delete all of them in MSFS. thanks!
  11. If you want to know what the slat extension is SUPPOSED to sound like, see below video. PMDG sound is not even in the ballpark. Flap sound is much more subdued in comparison if you are positioned in that area to hear it. The slat sound is very noticeable when sitting near them. I am back and forth to Europe monthly on UA almost always in 9A (first row of 2nd biz cabin) and the slat sound is completely audible, even when on approach where things can be a bit noisier as compared to sitting on the ground before taxi.
  12. I think the external sounds are fairly accurate. The internal sounds are lacking. The engine sounds in the cabin sound almost "tinny".... I dont know how to describe it. As a passenger, I am on a UA 777 every month on average. Always (95% of the time) in the same seat (9A) and the sounds of the slats are very audible and sound nothing like they do on the PMDG plane. The plane is so so so awesome but I think the sound package is a big miss. All good, I'll just wait for the 3rd party sound pack in a few months 🙂
  13. There are some things that, after 4 years, I cannot believe MSFS cannot do or there is no solution for. Number one would be chaseplane or something of the sorts.... the other is multiple windows. By this, I mean having 2 or 3 windows open with different views. In P3D, I would have cockpit view as one and an exterior or wing view as the other. I haven't asked this question in a long while so I thought I would ask it again... is this possible now?
  14. Thanks all. I guess I jumped the gun too quickly and bought V6 when I already own V5! I just really dont love MSFS still... it looks great but some key things like chase plane, study level aircraft etc are still missing.
  15. When MSFS came out, I thought I was done with P3D. I never ended up loving MSFS. Almost 4 years end and the aircraft choices are just not good. Still no PMDG 777, etc. With space running out on my PC, I had to drop P3D. Santa brought me an additional 4TB for xmas, so I just purchased V6. My previous installs included pretty much every significant add on..... ORBX, PMDG, FSDT, chase plane, Active sky, etc etc etc. So, what are the must have these days? Has anything changed?
