I was coming here today to see if anyone was talking about exactly the opposite. I flew around NYC last night and was FLOORED at the new much sharper PG scenery. Previously my home was clearly pre 2015 imagery and blobish and blurry. Now its the right shape, clearly defined features and looks to be from 2022, I can even see my car in the driveway now!

Looks nice, i've been running V1 along with RK Bridger and KLGA in 2024 since day 1 before they disabled the marketplace content. It'd be nice to upgrade.

I will say that I noticed my mothers house, which was built in the last 2 years, has an AI building placement in the new sim. It's a whole new community so based on which houses are actually constructed she could tell me how old the aerial imagery is for that area. So they DID put new satellite images in the sim. It does seem like the PG hasn't been touched though and it does look dreadful in many places. NY looks dull flat and lifeless. The samscene3d NY times looks pretty great in 2024 and gets the city pretty up to date. In fairness to Asobo, if you go to Bing maps and explore NY in 3d..... it's exactly what you see in MSFS 2024. So depending on which way the data flows either Bing hasn't gotten around to updating their PG data so Asobo can't get anything newer or Asobo hasn't finished working on updated PG data for the existing areas and therefore Bing can't get updated either. More likely, they are prioritizing getting PG for new areas so existing stuff will have to wait, regardless of how old it is. I highly doubt they will let major metro areas like NYC get 15+ years out of date so I'd expect a refresh before the next version of the sim. Probably as a WU.

5900X, 3080 ti, 64 GB DDR4 3200, 1TB M2 SSD I'm getting about 40fps on the default "high-end" settings in NYC on the ground. In the air flying the city i've gotten up to 55. This is with DLSS on Auto and running in 4k resolution. Samscene3d NYC Times is installed. I'd say I'm pretty happy with those results.

I thought they had gotten much newer and up to date aerial imagery for FS2024. Checking out NYC i noticed that an entire outlet mall that started construction 10 years ago and was complete at least 5 years ago is still the parking lot that was there before they ever broke ground. It's a pretty big mall, visible from NY harbor. My own home in NYC is also at least 10 years out of date. This is likely the same imagery from FS2020, at least in the NYC area. Anyone out there notice newer better PG areas?

I like the idea of simulating what the start of a career in aviation would be like for me IRL. Being in NYC my options are likely KLDJ, KTEB and KRFG. Lots of complicated busy airspace around here. The scenery in NY is always just about the biggest performance hog in all of MSFS, especially with 3 major airports so close together. I'll probably opt for KLDJ as it's the smallest of the three.

So i can load a flight with the PMDG 737 but i'm stuck on the walkaround cam. Anyone have insight into which key combo gets me into the cockpit? the camera buttons do nothing. I dumped a good deal of my community folder into 2024 just to see if it would handle it and it did cause it to crash. I loaded up NYC with RKBridger, drzewiecki KEWR and the PMDG 737. It got to the Fly now screen then hung and crashed. I tried again with just the PMDG 737 in Miami and it loaded but i couldn't get to the cockpit. Plane looks great with the new lighting.

On the Newegg reviews it seems these are Samsung B die chips and the OEM units are Kingston as well. A double good omen for a Dell based AMD box. I must admit i know very little about RAM in general. If it gets me anywhere in the neighborhood of what the chipset on the mobo is rated for and plays nice with XMP i don't see myself tweaking anything else.

Just realized my out of the box Alienware R10 setup is 2x16GB DDR4 2666 with CL 22 timing. just bought a 2x32GB of Kingston Fury DDR4 3200 with CL 16. The timings and speed diff alone should be a nice boost. Now I'm just 32% less CPU and 27%less GPU than the "Ideal" spec with my 5900x and 3080ti Everything else is Ideal. Hoping for decent VR performance as I picked up a Quest 3 a few weeks ago. If 64GB proves insufficient I can still grab another pair of the same memory for only 100 USD

Yes I have, it's probably just the fact that my NY is a system killer. add ons for EWR, JFK, LGA and FRG. samscene NY, rkbridger for all the river crossings. GSX pro, BATC, with a PMDG 737 then throwing VR on top of that....... In other news I had a very pleasant flight from KPHX to KSAN in my 737 with full traffic in BATC and everything went just fine in VR.

I just got a quest 3 this week. I find that as long as I'm in a light setting such as a bush trip or some far flung low density scenery it works fine but when i try to run a complex airliner in a heavy place like NY even getting the VR to start up is a chore and once it's running its a laggy low frame mess even though the stereo image that's on my main monitor is smooth as silk. I'm guessing that in those scenarios the meta app is finding it hard to encode and send the feed to the headset even though the GPU is rendering the frames just fine. I'm wondering if something like virtual desktop can fix that but I don't have a Wi-Fi 6 router and am not really interested in buying one at this time. Other than that, can't beat it for immersion. Even having to lean in to read the displays isn't such a bad tradeoff for what you gain by being "in" the cockpit. Flying VFR takes on a whole new meaning. I'm in love! 5900X, 3080ti, 32GB Ram, 2TB M2 SSD for reference.

first time trying this. Seems like it has a hard time with long stutters. NYC is very heavy normally but I'm a glutton for punishment and have samscene rk bridger JFK EWR and LGA addons. So dipping below 20 and the occasional long stutter is a very real possibility. When that happens LSFG just hangs on the last image while MSFS recovers and keeps going. I need to unscale in order to keep flying. Happened on final under a mile out at EWR in the 777-300ER. talk about white knuckle!

Just completed my delivery flight KPAE - KEWR. Its a gem of a plane. handles beautifully and on the RNAVZ22L it was very easy to hold centerline and gentle in the flare under mild crosswind. I know very little about the systems in the 777 but the electronics aren't exactly alien if you're coming from the NG. Now comes the learning! Enjoy the new bird everyone and good night!

I am a dunce. Somewhere along the way I must have disabled frame generation. For the most part and in anyplace other than NYC i get my intended framerate. Flying in NY last night seemed a bit.... choppy so i checked and sure enough it was off, i just never noticed. All that to say that the 2D element ghosting is certainly still a thing for me.

It just stopped for me. no idea what i did. but i get smooth frames and no ghosting.
