Been flying a lot in NZ lately and I don't think I've noticed any morphing (Orbx mesh not installed). Might have forgotten about it though, as my memory tends be be at the level of a goldfish* nowadays. *Might be worse than a goldfish actually: https://www.amnh.org/learn-teach/curriculum-collections/young-naturalist-awards/goldfish-as-a-model-for-understanding-learning-and-memory-more-complex-than-you-think#:~:text=However%2C my initial research showed,for at least one month.

Wow, been flying it in Southwest Germany all day for 3-4 hours. Normally I fly airliners and turboprops, but there's something about the low and slow, VFR scenic flying that I quite enjoy. Couple of issues that I encountered: sometime during the flight I stopped getting signals from VOR stations when using the "pseudo-autopilot", it adds max rudder, causing airspeed to decrease like in the 146, sometimes I have to click buttons 3 or 4 times before they respond The VOR and autopilot issues went away after starting a new flight. Took a while to get used to the SL30 – COM 1 / NAV 1 radio, but the operations manual is excellent. 82 pages! EDIT: It seems an update was released while I was flying. Not mentioned in this thread though. Are people using another thread to discuss the Tomahawk? *confused*

Been flying with 8881 all day without any issues. Set both download and smoothing at default (30/50), seemed to work well. All settings are default actually as I uninstalled-reinstalled for 8881. Realism mode and preset mode. Been using historical weather a lot, works great! Very useful for flying in daylight with correct weather. I even figured how to use it with simbrief: https://forums.hifisimtech.com/threads/how-to-setup-simbrief-for-historical-weather.14883/#post-66780

Thanks for the feedback guys, appreciated! And sorry that I didn’t structure the video a bit better. I’ve been planning to make such a video for a while, and yesterday was a perfect opportunity as I had to do a complete MSFS re-install. So I just went ahead and made the video without any planning. Despite the fact that it tends to be a bit rambling and incoherent, I hope it's useful 🙂 Interestingly, the views are about the same in the main forum as in the T&T subforum. I thought I'd post it here as well though, as it's not possible to comment in the T&T subforum.

I posted a video in the tips and tricks subforum. For increased visibility, I'm making a thread here in the main forum, as I'm not sure how many people check out the T&T subforum. In this video I go through all my settings and tweaks that I've refined over the last few years. Goal: to get the best performance and image quality possible. I hope it’s helpful! Topics: MSFS settings Nvidia control panel settings Windows settings Nvidia profile inspector settings How to update DLSS versions How to use DLDSR HDR calibration How to make FG work G-Sync settings Using the Rivatuner Statistics Server (RTSS) overlay to fine-tune performance …and maybe some more that I’ve forgotten about Perhaps this thread can be used to discuss various settings as I'm sure there's quite a bit of variation here, based on personal preference and hardware configurations. We have a few relatively current threads on DLSS, but there's not been a general settings thread for a while I think.

Did a few spins - absolutely terrifying and exhilarating at the same time! Great aircraft - highly recommended. Full first impressions video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UgL51oG2DI

I’ll make a separate video on this including how to dramatically increase download speeds. Also, I think I incorrectly stated that worker density should be set to at least 1 (for AI aircraft pushback to work). I meant airport vehicle density. Feel free to send me a PM if you have are struggling with some settings or have any questions.

- Added new option and feature: Enable surface wind attenuation cancelation - Forces expected wind speed reported to be depicted all the way to the surface/runway by doubling the speed(s) set for the surface layer. Causes ATIS to read back the doubled wind speed, but actual depiction will be correct. See user's guide for more details. Default OFF. - Increased depicted precipitation approximately 50% in most cases- Improved humidity/visibility handling between 3 and 9SM visibility for better visible obscuration at lower vis settings (without overly obscuring at the mid/higher levels)- Changed Depiction smoothing rate slider to request optional Apply/Resynth after changing option, to prevent potential transition anomalies when changing settings during an existing transition (an instant reload will occur when Applying)- Reworked turbulence to allow much higher amplitude at higher Turbulence Scale Factor settings- Increased turbulence effect strength approximately 25% in general- Adjustments to wind layering and altitude calculations for more expected results at all elevations/altitudes- Added intermittent checking of units changes by users to keep conditions data synchronized- Fixed altitude units conversion issue when using French and some other non-English language settings in MSFS, would result in flat, ugly clouds, incorrect wind depiction, and wrong altitude in general for cloud and wind layers- Fixed issue with surface gusts and variability not working properly

Different preferences I guess. It's still only been a week since release, so too early to be 100% definitive about which one I prefer. I'll say this though: so far AS has impressed me; I think overall it generates a much more convincing and realistic cloudscape. So I guess it boils down to: do we want the most realistic cloudscape - or do we want fronts / global weather. I'm leaning towards the former at the moment. Btw just used historical weather for the 2nd time - to make a replay video of a flight I did more than 24hrs ago - that I didn't have time to finish at the time 🙂

I’m just amazed by your level of knowledge on this topic. Same goes for many other people here on Avsim. Learn something new every day 🙂

Sorry, I almost regret saying it. I’m following all three threads. Still haven’t had the time to get it so far - but I will now 😁 Happy flying / deadly spins and blue skies!

…and some other data between METARs? I still haven’t seen any noticeable transitions, so that’s a good thing.

In other words there’s no way to get around that as long as MSFS keeps it partnership with Meteoblue? As they cannot share proprietary data with 3rd party devs? Btw I’ll get crucified for saying this, but I agree with their decision to move towards a METAR-Meteoblue blend back in the day (SU5?), as otherwise we’d have highly inaccurate airport weather. But I’m beating a dead horse here, the topic has been discussed at great lengths here on Avsim…

Didn’t know that. Haven’t dared to open a window since I got Carenado’s Mooney.
