Heads up to my fellow DLSS Swapper Guinea Pigs
Matchstick replied to HiFlyer's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Well just been testing it out with 3070ti and recent DLLs and DLSS DLAA mode aren't really doing anything to improve the blurry screen displays so still a no-go for me. -
Not sure how long ago this actuallyhappened but there is a new version of the official Garmin GTN/GTNXi Trainer (v3.6.4.0) with updated charts and Nav databases. (The new charts were valid until 01-Dec-22 and the Nav data 29-Dev-22) And seemingly to go with three new trainer there's also an updated version of the TDS GTN NXi plugin. Easy way to update both the trainer and TDS plugin in to use the TDS installer app which should show what you have currently installed and what you can upgraded to) (Also for people running more than one sim the RXP GTN (and GNS) plugins for XP and FSX/P3D have also been updated in the last few days and seen to play nice with the new datasets)

Low (but not too slow) aircraft recommendations
Matchstick replied to newtie's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Far from ideal but you can access the C152 mod from the project's discord https://discord.gg/42TcfWTZ -
Virtualcol stop A220 developemt for MSFS

So you think everyone only cares about visuals. That would explain it then. As for not starting the argument, you'll be going back to remove your comment then ? -

How to say you don't use XP without saying you don't use XP 😉 -
I'm not sure how you could have a function that changes the version of the app from the one the MSFS servers are expecting to be running and not have the possibility of it causing problems.

MSFS 2020 stuck in "checking for updates"
Matchstick replied to Scott Miller's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Do you have a lot of third party content installed, especially content purchased on the MSFS Marketplace. If so having too many folders in the main MSFS directory can cause issues with MSFS being unable to start (the Rene Air Races airplane packs are especially good at creating folders to trigger this problem). There IS a fix for this the folders problem in the latest AAU2 beta but that isn't an option the only other known workaround is to uninstall addons to get the number down to where MSFS is happier. As for the MSFS Folder - the default location depends on which version you installed Microsoft Store version C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\ Steam version C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightDashboard_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\ However you can choose a custom folder during the installation process and if that's happened it's impossible to for me to say where it will have been put. -
The Bf-108 is a 1930s tourer/liason aircraft not a warbird so flies much more like a normal GA aircraft. In terms of quality I'd say they are decent but not spectacular and offer a decent flying experience. One oddity about the Bf-108 though it has no cockpit lights so cannot be easily flown at night or dark conditions (unless you really like reading instruments by torchlight).

New Nvidia Driver 532.03 WHQL
Matchstick replied to TexasGary's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
So presumably good luck to anyone who wants to use the new RTX 4060 cards for MSFS. Maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll keep running into crashes with the only driver version that supports your card. -

Just got an email from Just Flight announcing the release of a big update to their excellent BAe 146. Sadly this one doesn't include the UNS-1 FMC yet but the stand-out feature looks to be the addition of failures. Full changelog is here https://support.justflight.com/support/solutions/articles/17000124987-146-professional-msfs-changelog

Cockspur C510 Mustang OUT NOW!
Matchstick replied to Mets737's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I code for a living and think there are serious problem with the state of the Mustang. Does that count ?
