RNAVV19R

It would be more than just the walk around. It has to support the new flight model so that it can work well with the new turbulence and wind effects. iFly is a perfect example of this. Works great in 2020, but in 2024 it doesn't handle these new effects well and it's not always fun to fly as a result.

This new version of DLSS differs from past versions. DLSS 5 uses neural rendering to improve things like subsurface scattering, material rendering, and overall lighting. It will reduce your performance, but it will produce a more photorealistic look to the sim. For most people, DLSS 5 will be irrelevant because it will tank performance too much, especially in MSFS 2024 which is already very VRAM hungry and hard on GPUs in general, so they won't even bother using it. This is for very high end systems.

No. Unlike other versions of DLSS, this isn't focused on improving performance. On the contrary, DLSS 5 will reduce your performance while aiming to produce a more photorealistic image. Based on this video, it definitely provides a more photorealistic look to the sim.

It's a video game. Every face looks creepy and lifeless to begin with. DLSS 5 just improves the shading and subsurface scattering on them, and drastically so. Also improves the overall lighting, especially in cloudy or overcast conditions.

I have high hopes for this, especially the flight model. I look forward to trying this out with the MOZA AY210 FFB Yoke. Hopefully we get a profile for the yoke soon after release.

Yep, no publicly available approach. But I was wondering if an airline may have created their own approach, in which case the chart (and the approach itself) wouldn't be available to anyone other than that airline and anyone else that they sold it to. It's a long shot that anyone here would have this knowledge, but was just wondering.

Speaking of RNP approaches, anyone know if one exists for RWY 14R at RJOO? Or at least a RNAV Visual? None exist in Navigraph, but I wonder if one of the Japanese airlines might have designed one. Not sure how common that sort of thing is in Japan. Here is the approach:

Different companies handle this sort of thing differently. Some airlines develop their own RNAV Visuals or RNP approaches and make them available to other airlines, though I assume they do so for a fee. An example of this is the RNAV RNP 13L/R at KJFK. It was developed by JetBlue, but there are other airlines that have access to it.

Fair enough. Does no other airline have their own RNP approaches for those airports in Alaska? RNP approaches seem to be so ubiquitous now and many airlines have their own RNP approaches for other airports.

I saw Sam's video, too. There's an Alaska pilot who vlogs some of his trips as well. I remember him showing a brief glimpse of the approach chart of one of those Alaska RNP approaches in one of his videos. But I can't seem to find it anymore. Perhaps he was told to remove it from his channel. https://www.youtube.com/@ThePilotLife/videos

There are several airline specific approaches in Navigraph's NAV database, so this isn't surprising. Whoever their data supplier is has access to a bunch of these. Some examples: KLAS RNAV Visual 19R, KJFK RNAV RNP 13L/R, KSFO RNAV Visual 1R (although they are missing the RF leg). There may be more, but these are the ones that I know of. None of them have charts. You can even create the RNAV Visual for RWY 25 at KSBA as all of the waypoints are available in the database.

Haven’t experienced any of the issues discussed in this thread.

To be fair, the PMDG 737 flight dynamics have improved a lot in 2024. I hated the way it felt in 2020. iFly flew exceptionally well in 2020, but we will probably have to wait for the native 2024 version to get the best out of it.

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. Love your liveries!

I'm aware that the iFly comes with the 178 seat option. I'm just referring to the SWA liveries from Jviation. They were done only for the 189 seat layout.
