Quick flight in the Cabri G2 around Pilot Plus EGGD - performance was very good - 100fps with frame gen at Ultra profile. AI traffic landing on both runways simultaneously though

that was easy got him 🙂

I’ve always had my doubts as to the robustness of their backend systems and bandwidth. 2020 has had online\server related outages and general issues for its entire history – so it seems unlikely and foolish to expect 2024 not to have. It frustrates me that instead of fixing core issues they keep releasing new planes and other such updates – 2024 is definitely heading down the same flight path as 2020 – just with added Rocks.

I'm using SU3 and do experience some frame drops on approach, so far it's not been that bad - but there are caveats, I fly mostly GA into small airfields, I don't fly that often so my testing is limited. 2024 is a step forward in the following areas Disk space Loading times Rocks and pebbles In every other case it's been a backwards step and a right abomination - imo

I would have given them a year, Thanks for all your hard work, I and many others appreciated it I like many spent a ton on 2020, but so far £0 for 2024. The fact I'm waiting still for 95% of my Orbx purchases to come across justifies my decision. I'm not expecting free upgrades on everything, but many just need minimal work - especially some of the small Austrian airports that I love. I'm very reluctant to lay down hard earned cash again on what is essentially an early access title - why would I do that, it's folly - I'm not paying full price again, that's a total rip-off in many cases. Instead and for now my £££ is going into SIM racing atm, Le Mans ultimate (early access but works!), AC EVO etc and I'm having great fun with that. They really dropped the ball, not only have MS cost themselves - but also the third party developers.

That's a shame, 18 made it over on the 31/5 (nearly 1200 persons) - are Border force boats modelled I wonder?

30fps is not recommended with FG - bit low.

nothing should get in the way of the Wagon wheel effect

Shipping LODs are all messed up, some third party add-ons also appear broken - or now working as well as they should like seafront. Remember this is early access

I'm giving SU3 a try now after having issues with dropped peripherals the other day - couple of things I've noticed straight away......... AI traffic is being directed to RW27 at EDDG when I'm directed to 09. AI traffic is flying like they are in the mach loop still ATC Panel - I can now remove it using the same key that displays it - like 2020 ATC Panel - glitches out still and won't let you contact another freq (approach in my case). Performance is very good for me - 2K - DLSS Quality with FG - Ultra I get 90+ FPS flying GA

this looks like a comprehensive list - big step forward more of the same for SU3 pls

hopefully the 5080super/ti will have 20GB at least - that will do nicely.

The 5090 prices are ridiculous in the UK, and next to impossible to get hold of anyway. I’ve seen some 5080s for sale though - but 16GBs doesn’t cut it now. So I’m waiting to see what the 5080ti/super brings in terms of VRAM and performance. My 3090 is doing just fine with frame gen and flying mostly GA - wish I’d bought a 4090 though back in the day.

I’ve not had many hours in the various beta updates as I’ve just invested in a racing sim rig, however after a quick hour in ACC I decided to try the latest update a try. I had zero stutters, up to 99% GPU performance when flying GA around the South west of England, using frame gen 4K DLSS performance mode I’m getting 70+ fps - with near 60 landing at Pilot plus EGGD - performance was very smooth indeed. 2024 is heading in the right direction for sure 👌

ORBX Central has been glitchy for a while now, sometimes it will take an age to open, sometimes it just won't and you have to re-install. The updates are slow, most of my 2020 content hasn't been updated - what a waste of money
