Did some testing yesterday. First, the new live traffic version is very smooth. No jerky movements in the air or on the ground. The takeoffs and landings just looked very realistic. I spawned into an airport which had a lot going on, and it didn’t need to wake up. My FPS was excellent. I never noticed any stutters, and there wasn’t any extra time needed to load live traffic. The immersion really jumped with this version. Good job.

Works great. Very smooth. Lots of activity.

That is awesome.

Of course. But it has been super helpful in most cases, and really shocked me how deep its knowledge is in areas i know very well. I pay the $20 per month for ChatGPT and find it invaluable.

AI can be super helpful. I am loving it. Well, until the robot dogs with machine gun turrets show up.

Personally I don’t care if the traffic is realtime. If it matches historical routes and interacts with ATC, I am good.

One thread works fine for MSFS Auto FPS App. Not sure why GSX is special.

Yeah i remember you posting about it. I agree the movement of the planes in FSLTL were butter smooth, and i saw a lot more traffic everywhere with it. But i missed the ATC interaction so i just use the models. Still a great combo. Definitely a bummer hearing this news.

I can’t say how much better 96GB is, but I am glad i went “overboard” on RAM over a year ago. Memory prices have gone insane thanks to AI.

I agree. Just one thread will do. This is just spamming.

BATC with FSLTL models is enough for me, but this is a bummer.

I have been messing around with both of them. BMS is really amazing, but DCS is good too. Not sure about the campaigns/maps in BMS, but I know the older ones have to be rebuilt from the ground up for the new scenery files, so whatever they have given us is going to have to work for now.

Started messing with it today. Looks good so far!

I decided to upgrade my 7950X3D to a 9950X3D, since scalping prices on the new 9950X3D2 were looking ridiculous. Newegg gave me $310 trade-in for the 7950 so it was a $350 upgrade. With my 7950 I was able to run 72fps (2x FG) with 150 TLOD and a mix of mostly medium and high settings. With the 9950 I am able to run 200 TLOD with every setting on ultra and i can mostly maintain 80fps (2x FG). Butter smooth and kicking up all the eye candy made a huge difference. The 9950 does run hotter. I was maintaining 51 C with the 7950 but the 9950 runs around 55 C. Well worth the money, so the X3D2 should rock.

We need a sim world we can blow stuff up in.

BATC is definitely not perfect, but I never fly without it and I don't expect to have problems. They happen sometimes, but I think it has gotten better over the past 6 months.

I have not had issues with vectoring lately, but that might be where I fly mostly (US). The comms can get busy, but I have never had to wait 30 nm to get a response from ATC. I agree that traffic is sparse enroute, but otherwise it seems reasonably busy at the departure airport, and okay on arrival.

How are your CPU and GPU temps?

I was having the same issue and I have 2.5Gbps speed. Fiber. It is most likely coming from MS servers.

They don’t support betas. Need to wait for SU5 final.

Even that is being radically changed. Neural engine will make it so VRAM usage will drop 85%. It is coming.

OT: What was his opinion?

I turned PG off for the same reason.

Sorry, running FG just not the extra version.dll mod.
