V1ROTA7E

yeah, im not 100% sure on that one. In that case, I think it’d be something like descend and maintain 2,100, cleared for the RNAV from the KOOKE transition.

Yeah, it’s wrong. I’ve been noticing that too lately…in real life they’ll do that with a STAR, but not an approach itself. “Cleared for the FYTTE 8 arrival.” But that clearance doesn’t mean you’re cleared to descend…just fly the lateral route. With an approach, it’s different, when you’re cleared for an approach, all bets are off. They need to give you an altitude (most of the time) and a point from which the approach starts. @ryanbatc can correct me here.

I tried it out. from my short test, i do like what it did with the atmosphere, but it's nothing that REX Atmos can't do already. As for the clouds....pass. They do make the clouds look more dense, but it takes every cloud and makes it into something dense. I also noticed a slight performance reduction and i'm not sure if the addon was the root cause, but my sim crashed after about 1.5 hours....could be related, but the next flight with it uninstalled, did not crash.

Hey man, thanks for this. Gonna try it out and see how it looks. Wondering about any Rex Atmos conflicts there would be though. Will report back.

Well, after 2 attempts, the sim crashed on both occasions. The last one was particularly annoying because I was on short final wrestling with some crazy winds. Can’t say I’m a huge fan, so far. SI gave me a hold, and the plane can’t handle an EFC. It also can’t do a localizer approach flown in VNAV. The go around paddle also works with the flaps up, glide slope not intercepted, and thrust still in CRZ, which isn’t correct.

Just got it... and it's just as i remember the plane, i hated it 😂. It's got some of the same quirks...but it feels like a few things are missing, or i'm not using it correctly...did they not implement winds uplink? Couldn't complete a flight because the sim crashed, but i'm not blaming the addon just yet. Rotation felt a bit twitchy, but was using a fairly generic brunner profile, so that could be my fault. Can't quite say for sure how i feel about it, but time will tell.

Sit at a gate for 5 minutes and listen to the traffic ask for taxi.

The GSX profile is on their discord, but if you don't have it and don't want to wait... GSX Profile. Just copy and and save as a .ini

"Request taxi to the active...." lol

it's eerily good. recommended.

it's BAD. i didn't know about the issue till half way through a time accelerated flight from Amsterdam to Nairobi in the 777. Couldn't climb. box was recommending FL370 and i was just stuck at 290 with absolute max thrust, just barley holding on to the speed. i've seen this before when the temps aloft were extremely high, but alas, everything appeared to be nominal. How on earth was this stamped good to go????

It's not so bad, except her eyes are black. Just assume the right is clear...no need to look in that haunted a$$ direction....ever.

wow, this looks amazing. you're doing some great work...you're the Bijan of X Plane lol. Are you planning on doing the planet? This blows everything else out of the water...X plane lacks "density," so this will be great!

funny, just got a clearance like that the other day flying through Oman airspace and thought "oh, so those clearances do still exist in real life" LOL

Your experience echoes mine. It’s almost like you get to a point where you need to tell them your qualifications just so they can have a bit of humility…and yes, there are plenty of things that are pretty far off from reality… at the same time, I get their skepticism because there are a bunch of liars out there… I think the program is moving in the right direction, there are plenty of little issues, but progress has been fast and consistent, and they’re always revising, iterating, etc. It is expensive, and the voice delay is annoying (probably why you got held high…it would have been on time, but the voice processing delay exacerbated the effect), but I do often find myself asking what I’m actually complaining about…i still use it every flight….even if I’m just out burning virtual holes in the sky.

RE the throttle gates, Instead of using "Throttle Axis 1" use "Throttle Axis 1, 0 to 100%" Also, I'm going to try the 4 axis thing suggested above...using 2 axis only moved 2 levers, so I assigned Throttle 1 & 2 to one lever in MSFS and 3 & 4 on the other. My biggest issue is....the thing is not easy to actually fly lol. I get that it has mass, but good lord, this plane just reiterates that I'm a Boeing guy, through and through haha. It truly is a very strange hand flying airplane, if anyone has any suggestions/techniques.

cool. let us know how you get on

I agree. I think half of the stuff he said prior to the optiscaler stuff was unnecessary...I just went straight to the optiscaler and got it working. milage may vary.

What i've done to remove everything is go into the content folder, and remove all of the stand-alone files, not the folders, then verify/repair the sim. You could probably go through and delete the dxgi.dll, etc. but i just find that a bit easier. You'd have to reinstall reshade if you use that and save your reshade.ini, and run DLSS swapper again, but other than that, it's an easy way to clear everything.

There was a video posted that shows some massive FPS improvements while using DLSS 5. This looks promising...haven't tried it out yet, but looking forward to getting it running! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZY6UzNvdJA

Only tried out a couple of areas, so can't say for sure, but the coverage does seem a bit anemic. I'm personally leaning towards using Bijan's just because when you're flying at 500' or higher, you really don't care how detailed the bark of a tree is.... That said, owning both, i'll probably swap between the two, depending on mood. If they could up the density, i'd probably go with BB, but till then, i like Bijan's coverage.

No. Not on takeoff or initial climb out. The point there is to get higher to improve fuel economy and as LBRS said, you’re not speed protected. I do, however use VS in cruise when stepping for a few reasons — 1) doesn’t jam the power and create the g-load, waking up the guys in the back 2) fuel economy 3) reduces the possibility of getting a resolution advisory from climb rate/closure rate if there’s traffic above

For me, it was not improved. Went back to 5.1

forgot to sign out of the beta! well, the usual stuff is broken (chaseplane, flow, etc). I was excited from FSExpo about the atmosphere model so tried it out. Some storms around miami. Sad to say, even with turning turbulence to realistic, it's still very mild. Not sure if that is officially in yet, but yeah.
