Air Hauling apps to Make Money MSFS 2020

Fair enough, just letting you know passengers is actually planned for the future and is work in progress rather than a maybe. -

Tobii Eye tracker 5 yes or no?
Simple B replied to 737_800's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
As you have only just invested in Track ir, no need to consider an eye tracker. I used Track ir from day 1 of fs2020, it did the job and was a game changer and i worked with all it's minor issues, which eventually frustrated me enough that I was happy to find a new alternative on the eye tracker 5, which just works for me. Enjoy track ir, if it gives you no issues, no need to consider the tobii eye tracker. It does the same thing. -
Tobii Eye tracker 5 yes or no?
Simple B replied to 737_800's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
You can look left, right, up, down, you can lean in, out, sit up, stoop down, shift left, shift right and a full combination of all of the above. Save 10 suitable cameras, and you can look at any area. From the position of your choice from any angle you choose. And its less finicky than track ir. It is a head tracker, with eye tracking. You can turn off either or adjust the sensitivity of both elements. Using eye tracking alone won't give you depth of position movement. For me in fs2020 i turn the eye tracking off. -

Of course you can always not mount the Tobii eye tracker at the bottom of the tv and mount it just above your controls at your seat position, i had the same issue with the track ir emitter, used to have to mount this off monitor close to my seating position. I prefer the eye tracker now: no headgear, no sunlight interference, very little set up tuning, but does need a proper pause integration in the sim that doesn't reset to centre. -
I am running a Asus tuf gaming x570 MB which is 2 years old, does me just fine. I added the water cooler as my last unit failed around a year ago and was temporarily running the standard AMD air option that came with the previously installed 3900x which is not optimal. My 3900x on the standard cooler ran around 65-70 degrees in msfs. The 5800x3d is noted to run a little hotter, with the arctic cooler it never gets above 60 degrees in msfs for me. I was considering a 120 Noctura air cooler option but my case has limited clearance.

PMDG 737 in game flight plan not loading?
Simple B replied to M3Stang's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Ok. i had already done some watching and reading. I have had the 737 since launch, but as yet have not had time to load into the sim with it. I was looking at the information yesterday to set up simbrief for rte and wx but in my steam version in the pacakages folder indicated in the root of fs2020 I have no work or weather folder to link to simbrief. Maybe I have to run the plane for the first time for these folders to be created. Thanks for your advice. -

Could you expand on how this is done, for those of us new to the 737 and Simbrief? -
So I managed to bag a 5800x3d Wednesday from Amazon, also picked up an arctic 2 240 cooler to replace the stock air that came with the 3900x that the new chip is replacing. Installed yesterday without any issue. I run Track ir, 4k tv on a rx 6800 not XT and am delighted with the performance gain. I can now maintain over 30 fps on the ground/ on final and have increased my graphics settings lod. I now run Ultra with lods adjusted to 180 and 150 up from 120 and 100. I tried Latinvfr KSAN and Macca sims EGCC with live and multiplayer traffic using AIG models flying Kodiak and TBM. KSAN average 33 on the ground and EGCC average 38. This was smooth with my Track Ir. Inflight 50fps which is no change. Previously i would get a stuttery experience of 26 to 30 at both with my old settings on the 3900x. I have now stepped back the res from full 4k to 3200x1800 upscaled to 4k with AMD RSR as unfortunately my graphics card still can't pop out instruments to a second screen (1080p) when I run at 4k in sim and this soloution works for me and allows me to maintain the FPS i need. In general with pop out instruments RSR I am getting equal and more fps than 4k without pop out instrument. CPU temps max around 62 degrees and my GPU is now working harder all of the time, no more 50% while it waits for the CPU. I would say if you are CPU bound on the ground and get good frames in the air, the X3D goes a long way to unlocking the on the ground bottleneck on the CPU. For an older AMD CPU swap I see this as excellent upgrade without the expense of a full board and ram swap that will be required for the next generation AMD. Totally happy with the purchase, and can noe spend more time enjoying the sim without niggling fps issues that led to far to much time messing with settings.

Can you give fps figures for when on the ground as a comparison, as this is the only area of the sim i am looking to improve? I am running a 3900x rx6800 and getting 40fps airbourne at 4k mostly ultra, but I have to turn Lods to 100 on the ground to get a reasonablly steady 27-30fps, am hoping to be able to get this up closer to 35fps with more consistant frame timing for smooth track ir with lods at 150-200, so am intetested to know your experience and how much improvement you got in fps on the ground over your old CPU.
