Couldn't agree more. As I have 60 mbps broadband I've kept with the full 128gb rolling cache which seems to work well for me. Live traffic, live weather yesterday evening. 470ti super (16gig of vram) with 30fps set in game and 2 x FG applied to bring me to my g-sync screen's native res. V-sync off in game, on in Nvidia control panel. I avoid any of the Nvidia App settings. I only have it for Shadowplay.

Didn't you know? Tut, tut... @ Jorge: "Air racing is in MSFS's dna" I didn't know this either and apparently neither did anyone else but...🤷‍♂️ Unfortunately, SU7 is shaping up to be a nothing burger for most PC pilots. Quite what the console guys will make of it when racing of any sort requires high frames combined with smooth delivery is yet to be seen.

BBC NewsIsrael Dubai flight: Pilots taken to hospital, says airpo...The mother of a passenger on the diverted plane says her daughter described people screaming as the plane dropped 17,000ft (5,200m) in less than two minutes.

Aren't you forgetting the country that's the biggest per capita consumer of fossil fuels and also has the biggest per capita carbon footprint in the world here?

This is due to your FF-Bridge settings. If you reduce the relevant slider settings the effects can be tuned to your own personal taste.

I agree. Ronald Mcdonald will see us through this difficult period...🫡

...and a much lower serviceability rate, which all goes to making it such a turkey...

'Triangulated Irregular Network'. It's the latest technique that MSFS2024 uses to handle photogrammetry...I think🤔

I don't think I can tolerate 29 minutes of 'supercar blondie'. Did they let her go in the secret room where they pump all that stuffing into our F35B's?

I think we here on Avsim constantly underestimate the amount of revenue the marketplace generates...and we also underestimate the interest in features like the career mode. I'll put my hands up here and say I have absolutely zero interest in the career, in bush trips and landing challenges but it's obvious from a quick perusal of the official forums that an awful lot of people do and the majority of complaints or demands for extra features centre around these things. All these continuous features, being developed for free, are the fruit of marketplace sales. I'm constantly puzzled by the prediction that MSFS will become subscription based. It already has a subscription model through Xbox game pass. The next iteration of MSFS? Neither Jorge nor Asobo has given even the slightest indication that this is even being considered but it seems patently obvious that the next iteration of MSFS is going to depend on the next generation Xbox in whatever form that takes.

Yeah, you'll get short shrift asking that on the PMDG forum.

As always, it's what is not said that gives more insight into their development than the big statements. Questions about the weather elicit completely blank responses. Weather isn't on the back burner, it's not on the agenda at all at the moment. Development is all about maximising income right now. The botched launch of 2024 meant Marketplace income dropped like a stone for the best part of a year after November 2024. They've got a lot of ground to make up here. Marketplace prices have been hiked and the PS5 launch is another attempt to enhance this income. The problem for Asobo is that current consoles are a dead end for technical development. All they can do is try and make the sim run acceptably on these and this can only happen at the expense of PC users. Until a new generation Xbox is released or they bite the bullet and split development, innovation within the sim as we've known it in the past is at a standstill.

Therein lies the problem; I don't think Asobo are bad developers at all, quite the reverse in fact. What was released in August 2020 was something utterly incredible. The essential problem was that after achieving the incredible they were then tasked by Microsoft with attempting the impossible: shoe-horning their creation into Xbox S. It seems evident now that almost all the grief that has followed can be traced back to this. The answer must surely be to now bring in separate development for PC and console? Could it be that much more complicated or expensive? At least everyone would be happy to not be handicapped by fundamentally different hardware.

*Other opinions on what constitutes 'fantastic television' are available.... 🤔

Not so much Zeus but the Greek government is highly sensitive about this sort of thing. Edit: In the same vein; I do wonder what Konigsberg is going to look like in the simulator?
