  1. So basically you have hyperbole and ad hominems. A winning combination. Asobo looked us straight in the eyes and lied to us. Outright lied to us. And there has been zero communication about this garbage “update” since last week. None. In P3D I don’t get shimmering buildings, pop-in scenery, massive microstutters on panning, 30-second pauses in-flight, CTDs. So tell me how great MSFS is compared to Prepar3d. I’m not the one living in a fantasy world.
  2. Just confirming, Sky Force is not compatible with Enhanced Atmospherics in v5, correct? It's either one or the other?
  3. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but it's not clear to me. I know I have to download and install the full sim again (5.2.22.27615). I didn't do 5.2 before the hotfix, so I'm installing hotfix 1 straight up. What isn't clear: do I delete the entirety of v5.1 first? In other words, I'm downloading 5.2/hotfix now, do I then uninstall 5.1 and then install 5.2/HF afresh? Thanks!
  4. There's someone on the official forums still flying 1.17.4. He says you can run the launcher with your internet disconnected and then reconnect when you're in the sim. Gives a detailed instruction on how he did it. But you have to have a drive image from your old version. System restore ain't gonna cut it.
  5. CTDs on 80% of my flights. Graphics are atrocious. P3D it is.
  6. In sticking with the Vatican theme, that’s why God created sunglasses. You can’t wear sunglasses in the sim. This is not a feature. This is a joke. (The sim that is)
  7. Yep, did that. I get it to fly now, but I wonder why I even bothered. The visuals are appalling. What was good about this sim is now atrocious.
  8. Delay? That might be our only hope of a usable sim in 2021? I don’t want a delay, I’m counting the days. Cause my sim is useless as a bosom on a bull right now.
  9. Vanilla sim. No mods. Nothing. Usually I get straight crashes. When I don’t then I get 30 second pauses every few minutes and microstutters looking around. But I get more FPS! It’s wonderful.
  10. What is he exaggerating? It is absolutely unplayable for me.
  11. The thing to remember about taildraggers is that the little wheel always wants to be in front.
  12. I have a problem, and it’s time I’m honest with myself about it. Looking for others’ thoughts here. I’m a private pilot, probably 85% of the way to getting my Instrument, with dreams of commercial and flying cargo or passengers in the Caribbean some day. I’m 45, very steady, good job. I enjoy flying but it does make me apprehensive at times. I consider myself to be a very competent pilot. My problem is this: I love simming. And I’m starting to think that it may just fill my flying need. 100LL and Jet-A in the sim are the same price, $0. Planes are cheap, too. Hourly rentals are low, no maintenance. (Being sarcastic here). In real life I have access to two wonderful club planes, a 150 and a Cherokee 180. Both incredibly well-maintained and very inexpensive. Great club, well run. And I just don’t feel like going to the airport. Simming? Sign me up. But I’m sitting here right now, work is over, I could hop in the car and go to the airport for an evening flight (it’s 6 PM here) and I just don’t feel like it. The economic burden of flying isn’t that big a deal. And I could fly a whole lot more than I do. I think maybe it’s the training blues. Focusing your flying on a rating isn’t exactly a blast, and it can get repetitive, as opposed to day trips and going to interesting airports. Yet I’m this freaking close to my IR. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Where you literally start to wonder, maybe simming is enough for me? I don’t know. I love the challenge of actual flight. For those of you that do it, you know it’s just different from simming. Wondering what y’all think.
  13. RXP is based on the Garmin trainer, so mirrors the real unit exactly. Wonderful product for flight sim (P3D).
  14. That guy knows what he’s doing. So refreshing to see a GA pilot of a complex airplane who doesn’t yank the gear up the second the wheels leave the ground.
  15. I was a beta tester for the PDM and it isn’t bad. I’m a RW pilot with a 650 in one of my airplanes and a 750 in the other, I have a lot of flight time with these GPS. Much, much easier to use than the 430/530, especially in a sim. I enjoyed it with the Navigraph charts. But I flat-out refuse to pay a subscription for something like this, and not only is €75 just completely absurd, the upgrade after a 1-year subscription of €25 is €50, meaning there isn’t even a discount for upgrading after a year. That’s just insult to injury. I like the product but was extremely disappointed in the pricing. No sale for me.
  16. I enjoy the heck out the stock 152, so don’t take this the wrong way, but, um, wouldn’t you want to recruit airplane experts for a flight simulator… at the beginning, and not a year after it’s released?
  17. Actually I get equally enjoyable performance out of P3D and MSFS with my hardware. 1080/8700k, neither overclocked, I set the overall setting to Ultra on day 1 and haven't touched it since. What FPS am I getting? Not a clue. Couldn't care less. By far the people complaining the most about their hardware in MSFS and what FPS they're getting are people with 10700k's overclocked to 8,000 GHz and RTX3090s, whining about getting 25 FPS going into LAX in a 787 at 4K with all the settings maxed.
  18. Do you fly IFR? Then yes. And as a real-world pilot, I’m astounded at the pricing. Worldwide Jepp charts would cost you at least $1,500 a year. I pay $200 a year just for the US.
