Hi all, when I inject FSLTL traffic my screen flashes and flickers - more noticeable if I look at the bright sky and/or in the morning and evening, but is persistent no matter the "camera angle" - even in cockpit. It's obviously very annoying. I will attach a link to a YouTube video I have made in reference to this problem. Please note that the phone camera does not exaggerate the effect you see on my monitor, as it is even worse in real life - could probably cause seizures: Does anyone know how to fix this? More info: My game install is fresh and I don't have many mods: PMDG, Navigraph, two addon airports, FSRealistic Pro and that's about it. Have been using AIG in the past (it is now removed) and the game has been absolutely stable.

Hi simmers 😃 Over London after yesterdays WU17. These are with programmetry.. These are with programmetry to off.. If you want to see the shots in the best resolution then please click on the picture !! cheers 😉

Hi simmers 😃 Depart at HEGN around 4 o'clock in the morning, seems my KLM is hunting the moon.. If you want to see the shots in the best resolution then please click on the picture !! cheers 😉

Before discovering all the POI's of UK and Ireland I executed a first flight over London to examen how good the latest WU has modelled this world-city. One big issue is that the naval heritage ship HMS Belfast is replaced by 2 modern motoryachts in lenght and the watersurface of shipping on the Thames is not fine made, I hope soon been updated via a patch by Asobo?Microsoft. Concerning the buildings all around, they are in my opinion very well modelled but no vehicles or pedestrians to see in public areas. Hereby a selection(max. 20 shots allowed per posting) of my roundflight over London as a sightseeing-tour in a Cessna 172N:

It's Scandinavian Time...the long summer days Oslo to Stockholm or Gardermoen to Arlanda Hopefully, you enjoyed these images, your commentary is always appreciated...Darryl

Hi all, I cannot find out which files caused the problems with the community folder after the last update. If this happens again I take the entire folder out, start the sim once again after the update, go flying a bit, shut it down and copy the entire folder back. So here are the next 3 planes which I brought back to the new community folder and no problems at all. It's the FBW A320, Headwind A330-900 and Pilot's Dash 7. Taking off at EDDH, KLAX and TNCM. Thank you very much for viewing! Cheers Andreas

Hi simmers 😃 After flying only airliners for a very long time now, I chose something different for myself again, namely a kind of vacation trip to the Victoria Falls in Africa. I took off from FVFA and then jetted over to the waterfalls, a great experience by the way. Some shots..

A day in the life of Del Boy and Rodders. And Trigger's in the back minding the load. So we start at KLGA. Having already off-loaded a consignment of Trump/Biden boxing garden gnomes, we are now loading up a batch of Soh-nee Betamax DVD players which Dell got at a bargain price from a dealer in Poughkeepsie. Job done, all loaded, firing up the engines And off we go! Allright back there, Trigger? Quick bit of sightseeing And away we go Little bit later, coming in to LFPO the pretty route Parked up way out on the edge of the field, away from prying officials, while we offload a couple of pallets of finest "Camdenburg" cheese (very fragrant and rich tasting - but then it is 5 years old and from the back of the warehouse) in exchange for a few dozen cases of Bollinga (yes, that is the correct spelling) Champagne And having done that, a hasty takeoff and back towards headquarters Heading north towards the Channel Landfall in the UK Almost home, the Baronial Peckham estate below us Coming in to Peckham Intl Airport, EGLL Parked up We'll leave it there overnight, the cleaners'll be along in a bit to tidy it up and try and get rid of the smell of that cheese. Oh, did anyone fetch Trigger out of the hold?

Just got the Burning Blue Design EGBT, Turweston, airfield. I always enjoy their products, got them all, pretty much. Thought I'd do a short circuit (probably should have phrased that better, but you know what I mean) in the neighbourhood and thought Rob Carrich's Whirlwind would be a fine thing to see here. DId my usual thing of lots of pix of the airfield but I'll spare you those and just post mostly flying stuff (but I heartily recommend EGBT as a great place to explore up close). First up, here's the route taken - And here we are parked up to start with Ok, ok, if you insist. Here's just one of the control tower/restaurant etc Heading up the grass taxiway to the head of the runway Getting ready for the off and away we go I've always liked this plane. I think it looks absolutely marvellous and always thought, as a kid, that it must have been a ferocious beast as a fighter in its day, but apparently it was a bit of a failure. Don't remember the whole saga off the top of my head but I think the problem was it actually underperformed quite dramatically. I seem to remember something about not getting supplies of the Merlin it was designed for as they all went to the Spitfire and this beast ended up with something not really powerful enough for it. Or something like that. But the buzz flying it must have been spectacular Approaching Brize Norton Heading back now, towards Oxford Dreaming spires and Inspector Morse alert Not sure, Kempton Park maybe? Turning round again to head back in, RAF Cranwell below us now Ahh! Milton Keynes, the 987,039,077th wonder of the world! Heading in (badly) parked up Imagine having that as your own private plane (as this one actually was, post war)!

A murky start for a short hop formation flight from Austin to Randolph. Forming up One is good. Three is better! Weather clearing now

The remarquable large theater dome at Las Vegas, also called The Sphere is also animated in the default scenery, at least when the free Las Vegas addon is added via the Marketplace. It's rotating and shows 4 different animations: Smilie, Earth, Moon and Mars:

Don't go to Japan often enough. Some great scenery out there, plus as usual I have loads of addons for the place. A quick circuit around the whole Kyobe, Osaka Bay and Kyoto area, starting out from RJBE and returning to RJBB just the other side of the bay. Both airports built on reclaimed land, and both very nicely modelled here. I got them from SimMarket but they might be available elsewhere as well. The whole are looks fascinating, and strangely beautiful, in the sim, but the density of everything there would drive me crazy in real life. But I had a very pleasant few hours exploring in the sim, which is the whole point for me. Managed to just pick out just twenty shots from the 300 or so I grabbed! Here's the route taken And I can heartily recommend a visit! Both RJBE and RJBB are beautifully modelled in these addons, which is one of the reasons I ended up with hundreds of pix. Loads to explore. Turning round to head back up over Kyobe City and then on up to Kyoto I had interrupted the replay to do real life stuff and obviously had a different time set when I resumed, hence the change of lighting here Samscene's Kyobe Heading up over Kyoto now And that's the old Imperial Palace down there. I did take the drone down and have a nose round and it's quite well done. Worth exploring. Turning round to return back towards RJBB RJBB up ahead. Planning to go past and then turn around the headland and come in from the seaward side Another fine airport to explore but I'm trying to curb my habit of posting tons of detailed pix, or at least on a circuit like this So there you are, one little tour of one little corner of Japan. And as usual it just leaves me thinking I'll have to come back with the Paramotor or KA-10 or similar and explore more slowly. I understand the whole thing about "it's a small world!" and how that works, but the amazing thing about MSFS is that it shows you that it really isn't a small world, in fact it's pretty big, and it's all available to explore in great detail now.

While waiting for the PMDG -200, I'm still enjoying the CS version. A bit flaky at times but I can usually get what I want out of it. Here's an absolutely and most definitely non-real time flight from KIAD (Flightbeam's, but not very visible in these shots) to OEAO. From the product description on SImMarket - "Al Ula International Airport formerly known as Prince Abdul Majeed bin Abdulaziz International Airport is a commercial airport made to serve the Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, AlUla. The airport Is located North West of Saudi Arabia and is the 5th biggest International airport in Saudi Arabia". Nicely modelled but a bit in the middle of nowhere, but then I guess that's pretty much true of anywhere in Saudi. GSX seemed to object to any of the gates in KIAD for the 777, hence the loading scenes. No idea if there are actual 777-capable gates at KIAD but there certainly seemed to be static and/or AI 777s at various gates, and I might go back there and experiment some more. Don't forget, you're dealing with a man here who doesn't do charts and proper plans etc! Anyway, here we go - taxi-ing off Away Got special dispensation for a quick tourist flight over Washington (it's the oil that does it) And off we go! What would have been about twelve hours later (still can't believe anyone would do that in a sim, but hey) but was actually a separate flight for me, getting close to the destination touchdown at OEAO

Further to discussion of the concept demonstration version of the MSFS2020_AutoFPS starting here, the app has now matured to a point to where I am happy to formally release it. You can download the latest version of MSFS2020_AutoFPS here. In summary, this free utility is a new development that is a simplification of, and a slightly different concept to, DynamicLOD_ResetEdition. It aims to improve MSFS performance and smoothness by automatically changing the two settings that impact MSFS performance the most, namely TLOD and cloud quality settings, based on the current AGL and with an easy to use GUI. It provides features such as: Automatically adjusts TLOD to achieve a user-defined target FPS band based on pre or user-defined maximum and minimum TLODs, TLOD minimum on ground/landing option, which prioritises TLOD over FPS during these flight phases and also averts exacerbating existing texture tearing issues with DX12, Cloud quality decrease option for when FPS can't be achieved at the lowest desired TLOD, Automatic pause when MSFS loses focus option, particularly useful if using FG due to varying FPS when MSFS gains or loses focus, Automatic FPS settling timer on MSFS graphics mode and focus changes to allow FPS to stabilise before being acted upon, Simultaneous PC, FG and VR mode compatibilty including correct FG FPS display and separate FPS targets for each mode, A greatly simplified GUI option that uses pre-defined settings for an automated experience suited to most user scenarios, and Auto restoration of original settings changed by the utility. Important: This utility directly accesses active MSFS memory locations while MSFS is running to read and set TLOD and cloud quality settings on the fly at a maximum rate of one read and, if required, change per setting per second. The utility will first verify that the MSFS memory locations being used are still valid and if not, likely because of an MSFS version change, will attempt to find where they have been relocated. If it does find the new memory locations and they pass validation tests, the utility will update itself automatically and will function as normal. If it can't find or validate MSFS memory locations at any time when starting up, the utility will self-restrict to read only mode to prevent the utility making changes to unknown MSFS memory locations. As such, I believe the app to be robust in its interaction with validated MSFS memory locations and to be responsible in disabling itself if it can't guarantee that. Nonetheless, this utility is offered as is and no responsibility will be taken for unintended negative side effects. Use at your own risk! More information, including instructions on how to install, update, uninstall and configure the various options in the app, can be found in the readme file located here. I hope that the app proves useful in getting the most out of your MSFS 2020 experience. I welcome any feedback you have on this app and will do my best to fix any bugs or issues that are identified..

Further to extensive discussion of the initial releases of MSFS2020_AutoFPS here, the app has undergone a major update to version 0.4.2 which was formally released today. You can download the latest version of MSFS2020_AutoFPS here. In summary, this app aims to improve the MSFS user experience by automatically changing key MSFS settings that impact MSFS performance and smoothness the most. It has an easy to use UI and provides features such as: Automatic TLOD adjustment when in the air to achieve and maintain a target FPS, Improved target FPS tracking for all modes by having much smaller TLOD changes the closer you are to your target FPS, giving more consistent FPS for a better flight experience. A choice between VFR and IFR flight types, which changes the flight phases where the app prioritises FPS or TLOD, Auto raising and lowering of the minimum TLOD option, depending on low altitude performance being either very favourable or poor respectively, Auto target FPS option, which is useful if you don't know what target FPS to choose or if your flight types are so varied that a single target FPS value is not always appropriate, Cloud quality decrease option for when FPS can't be achieved at the lowest desired TLOD, Automatic OLOD adjustment option based on an automatic or user-definable OLOD range and altitude band, Simultaneous PC, FG and VR mode compatibilty including correct FG FPS display and separate FPS targets for each mode, A greatly simplified non-expert default UI option that uses pre-defined settings for an automated experience suited to most user scenarios, Auto detection and protection from known similar apps already running or incompatibilities with newer MSFS versions, and Auto restoration of original MSFS settings changed by the app, recently enhanced to withstand MSFS CTDs. More information, including instructions on how to install, update, uninstall and configure the various options in the app, can be found in the readme file located here. As with all earlier releases, I hope that the app proves useful in getting the most out of your MSFS 2020 experience. I welcome any feedback you have on this app and will do my best to fix any bugs or issues that are identified.
