SAS274

That did the trick for now, got much further than before without any issues, thank you! p.s. not sure if mentioned already, but loading the flightplan in the onboard EFB and then going into the Fenix App on the sim EFB, we have to reload the flight plan and that doesn't mess anything, just sends another company message with the prelim loadsheet and changes the departure calculations from final to prelim loadsheet.

So good news is I already have display sync activated with the other two deactivated. Bad news is I don't know where/what logs you might need 🙂

Anyone having issues with the BFU and SU3 on msfs2024 ? I was using the Fenix yesterday before the update and everything was running smoothly. After installing the BFU, i encountered severe stuttering while boarding with GSX and then just a huge stutterfest. I restarted the sim, then same issue. I deleted EDDH (Simwings add-on ) and loaded into the default airport, but same issues. I figured, it must be something with msfs and that airport, I moved over to ESSA (ORBX), which I know runs well, but sure enough I encountered the same problem. I deactivated both GSX and SayIntentions, but still, I have this stutter. More precisely, every time, the GPU is stuttering heavily, alternating between 15ms and 60ms per frame. VRAM 8-10 GB / 13GB. I then loaded at the same airport but with the inibuilds A350, using GSX and SayIntentions, and it's running butter smooth. 9800X3D, 64G RAM, 16G VRAM, 9070 XT I haven't yet tried SU2 or reinstalling Fenix completely, that's next I guess.

When I updated to the 9070XT from the 4070 Super I was shocked and floored to discover that I still had all the stuttering issues. What fixed it (basically completely) for me was disabling Rebar in the Bios. This caused the sim to use less vram and have more available. I've noticed minimal to zero stuttering since, even when flying the A350 (which is closing up on the limit if flying from iniBuilds Dubai for example). That being said, I keep my TLOD at 100 for airliners, I can bump it to 400 with no issues if flying GA, but such is the nature of this sim. 100% they have VRAM optimization issues. Not only that but there's not content validation pipeline in place either at the marketplace or the sim level to ensure 3rd party airplanes and airport adhere to strict technical budgets, so some planes (PMDG) run very well, while others (A350) are very demanding because they felt the need to model every screw in some panel you'll never look at, at the back of the plane. Same with airports. There's much more work left to be done, and honestly I don't think they'll ever fix it for msfs2024. As to people who think it's normal to need a 5090 to run this at high-end settings without issues, I have to disagree. Only 7% of people have more than 12GB of VRAM, 1% (or less) have more than 16GB. It's on the developer to make sure the game runs well for the intended audience. And their published requirements list makes no sense if you're flying anything but the default cessna, which kinda tells me they never really gave it too much testing beyond that. Because in the end, when I upgraded to 9070XT I was certain it was going to be enough based on the perf I was seeing and the published requirements. At what point it's not my job anymore to keep spending money for their game to run properly on fairly high-end hardware ?

That's their reputation. Systems-wise, top notch but texturing, not so much 🙂 Gave me a real headache when deciding what to buy on their latest sale. https://www.youtube.com/live/nhdZZCiddMg?si=y5JKZsShwOaFutYJ&t=315 To note though that they did update their a340 X-Plane model with new textures that fixed a lot, I'm just hoping it's part of their focus going forward. And as Martin pointed out above, the trailer doesn't look bad. I hope you're right, I have no doubt that systems-wise it's going to be Fenix or PMDG level, so if it's a complete package, it's going to be quite a joy to own and fly.

So I've resubbed to Say Intentions for this traffic injection update, and I have to declare myself slightly disappointed. The immersion with full AI voices is still top notch of course, but I feel that BATC has a fair bit of lead in terms of handling both your flight as well as the traffic. Some things I've noticed, that are immersion killers for me: Taxies me through oncoming traffic I reached the holding point at 22R at EKCH. Announcing myself ready for departure. Denied, aircraft taking off. Ok, I figured, I'll wait. The ATC then proceeds to clear another aircraft that arrived after me. I announce I am ready again, it tells me to line up and wait, while the other aircraft was just lining up. I tell it I can't, runway occupied, tell me to hold. Clears another aircraft for take off, I say "yo, I'm first here", tells me to line-up and wait. I line up and wait. Clears the other aircraft for take off. Takes off through me. I had to actually just take off and disregard ATC completely. Told me he has a number to call. Told it to cut if off and just hand me over. Handed me over 😄 Every time it tells me what approach to expect, it omits the actual runway number, even if it changes from the filed flight plan. When I ask what runway it needs, it sometimes changes the already-assigned approach (e.g. from ILS to Visual). The last time, it changed from ILS to visual when I asked what runway to expect, and it was definitely not a visual approach (fog all the way to minimums) When landing, it assigns me a gate, which is great. If I ask progressive taxi, it changes the gate. 2/2 so far. Not saying BATC is perfect, because it's not, but I feel even when they just launched traffic injection, it was better than this. And the IFR guidance feels better on BATC (e.g. SayIntentions kept me hanging at the initial climb for a while instead of clearing me higher ahead of time, which BATC always does before you hit that assigned altitude). And as others have pointed out, I'd like to see more frequent updates on features and accuracy. Feels like BATC focuses a bit more on the core functionality and improving that.

Toliss better fix their awful texturing first, before asking for 90+ $ for the add-on.

I transitioned from a 4070 Super recently to a 9070XT and while there was some transition "what's going on" and I initially had some buyer's remorse, I have to say that I am now far happier with the 9070XT. First off, MSFS2024 is horribly optimized, so indeed, I initially didn't see much improvement, mainly because of how the VRAM is being used. The problem there is REBAR. I recommend turning REBAR off from your BIOS and you'll see about an extra GB of VRAM available with about 1GB being less used by the sim. Second, I had the reverse situation, plenty of flickering with Nvidia but no flickering with AMD. What I was able to find out, was because my display was g-sync compatible (didn't have the dedicated chip), the flickering was happening on HDR. But since freesync pro is open source, my display has it and flickering is gone for me. The rest, honestly, much better than with Nvidia. I've had nothing but driver issues with Nvidia in the past year, and the AMD drivers are just solid. I'd wish for 20GB+ of VRAM, but that's a problem caused by both the state of industry right now, as well as the state of optimization on the MSFS side. X-Plane uses 20-30% less VRAM easily and handles the heavy portions much more gracefully (no stuttering), by comparison.

One thing I was disappointed though, and felt a bit lazy was the lack of integration with msfs 2024 charts in the on-board EFB. Feels like a miss. inibuilds A350 does it very well. I can just use the msfs EFB, obviously. Otherwise excellent so far in terms of performance. The PW engines sound a bit quiet though ? No expert, I know they said they're working on improved engine sounds.

Curiosity, with the ECAM rework, what's the effect going to be on performance of the aircraft ? better, same or worse ?

And I have it under my 49" curve 32:9 monitor. It basically has a range, of around 27"-30" of tracking, but since you have the tracker in the center of the display, that's all you really need. Works great and I love the no wires solution. I also mapped a joystick button to activate/deactivate tobii since I don't need to move around all the time.

FS2020 is a balancing act 🙂 The higher resolution actually improved the situation as the GPU was running at 40% load before I upgraded the CPU. With TAA and more resolution, I went from being CPU-bottlenecked to GPU-bottlenecked with better framerate (weird right ?) . Check your GPU load in task manager, make sure you are not CPU-bottlenecked. There's all kinds of weird things in fs2020, e.g. I changed from DLSS4 quality to performance and i actually got fewer fps 😐 I also capped my framerate to 50% of the display's capability (from 120hz to 60hz). It's why I was so hyped for FS2024 to come out as it solves some of this silly dance. But alas, we know how that turned out at launch 🙂

You're right. What I mean in this is they aren't even "simulating" the blades slowly starting to spool up because of the air pressure turning them until the engine can start on its own. They are just still and then they suddenly start spooling up quickly. I've watched the real engine spool up on youtube on an A350 and the difference is night and day. I gave a small example of something that's just attention to detail beyond complex systems simulations that some people might expect at this price point. I'd be happy with something less detailed in deep systems simulations if the aircraft would receive the attention to detail in other areas like engine spool up, hand-flying feel, landing gear compressing when touching down, proper ecam messages for normal flight procedures, etc. . Make it "feel" real. I can't describe it but flying the Fenix A320 just feels so much more immersive and "real" vs any of the others, even though I'm not doing anything more special in that one versus the rest, and I think people who fly the Fenix or the PMDGs can attest to that. And that's why are worth their asking price points. This one feels about 80% of the way to where it should be, while being 20-50% more expensive. That being said, it's not a bad plane, some people are behaving as if this is not even worth looking at because Fenix said it's missing stuff. Don't think that's the case. Think it's just a case of wrong pricing. I'll be flying this over the weekend and get more hours with it. And maybe, I think, it convinced me to reinstall FS2024 with SU1 Beta and give it another shot. A330 Driver did a full flight video to Cape Town with this one and it looked pretty good.

I'll echo what others have said. Fenix A320 is 60 EUR and the PMDG 777 is 75 EUR, this is 90 EUR and I feel like it's at least 20 EUR too expensive, even if we get two variants + the ULR later. I can only hope that inibuilds will want this to be known as the best they can do and actually keep patching the aircraft. I don't need study-level, but I'd like to know that basic stupid things I do cause the aircraft to behave appropriately, beyond at least expecting the aircraft to behave and sound appropriately when doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I can tell that e.g. the engine spool up animation needs more work and right now just feels scripted. That's not ok from a 90 euro aircraft. All good, next time, I wait 🙂 fool me once kinda thing.

OK so my 2 cents on FS2020 so far. RTX 4070 Super, 64GB ram, 9800X3D, running 5120x1440 resolution, DLSS4 Quality. Performance: - Running OK, I think honestly on par with the PMDG 777 - Didn't land yet at any super big airport like JFK, but took off from 3rd party EKCH (copenhagen) and landed at 3rd party LFPG and it was fine Offtopic , but I think it needs a bit more cooking time. It has some bugs that honestly shouldn't have gone live if they had done one flight in this thing before launch (Ap disconnect alarm keeps ringing forever, doesn't take ILS frequencies that end with 5 ). And I am no pilot, so I can't say how it's suppose to handle, etc., but just looking at the engine spool up for example, I don't think those kinds of things behave like the real thing. We'll see more reviews as they come out. Since it needs a few more patches and maybe even improvements, then I don't think it's worth the asking price just now. I wouldn't put it too far off either, but 73 euros + tax is more expensive than the PMDG, and the PMDG 777 is better overall, hands down, and that one is slightly cheaper. Reason I bought it day 1 is because I watched a few of the previews plus their own flight streams and it seemed like it was in a really good shape, with good overall impressions. I don't regret the purchase either, honestly, makes me want to install FS2024 and see how it behaves there.
