How do we give feedback for future updates? Although the slat sound is very accurate, its actually a bit quiet.

2020, 772ER.

PMDG 777.... seems to happen every time now. complete pushback process. but then its almost as if the tug is still connected and it wont let me steer. Try to reset GSX but it wont let me. End up having to quit and restart. This happen to anyone else? I have the latest versions of GSX and PMDG installed.

so, strange enough, the issue disappeared on my next flight the following day. No idea... very strange.

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.

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....

So I am slowly trying to convert over to 2024. Main reason that I haven't is because of the countless add ons that are not 2024 compliant yet. Anyways, the PMDG 772 ER was a big push for me to make the jump. I have a 5080 and the performance is amazing with all of the bells and whistles turned on. But things like the stage 1 fan of the engines looking like they are about to explode is awful. I am thinking of turning frame gen off. Has anyone else?

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?

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!

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.

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.

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.
