    Hi all, I'm looking for some help from anyone that uses a 4090 with frame generation in MSFS. I recently got a new build and i am struggling to work out the best settings for the best experience with this new card. I have a 4k 60hz samsung monitor and if i simply jump into the sim i have what looks like screen tearing with frame generation and vsync on. I was baffled as i thought vsync would stop this tearing. This strange tearing type issue goes away if i turn frame generation off. I then turned vsync off in the sim, and enabled vync ON in the nvidia control panel, This left the sim smooth as butter but i then have some lag when panning with my m…

    Hello everyone, Using live or sim produced weather controls, I do not have any visible rain in my sim. Snow seems to work. I read that that this was an issue in years past, that rain was only visible in cockpit view, but was wondering what the current situation is or if I am missing something? I can be somewhere with light moderate or heavy precipitation and there is nothing but lowered visibility and cloud coverage in the sim when in exterior views. If I pan all the way to the ground I see rain drop effects on pavement but if I even move an "inch" off that... all rain effects disappear. Thoughts?

    Gaya released LOWW version 2 not long ago, anyone tested v2 already? Are textures really as blurry as in their screenshots? And what about performance? Every now and then I've heard about very bad FPS in Gayas MSFS sceneries and these comments match with the only Gaya scenery I've ever had: LGKO for P3D. This was by far the worst scenery in terms of FPS I had back in P3D (even Flightbeams SFO or DEN had double the FPS than Gayas LGKO scenery!). Thoughts? P.S.: have I missed any FlyTampa news about LOWW in the last months and years? I'd rather spend 25EUR on a FT scenery I know it is outstanding w/o even looking for a single screensho…

    I asked once, right after the launch of Fenix A320, but need to ask again after all those patches before I buy it. How is its performance? Is it as smooth as PMDG? Is there a remote MCDU for iPad, like FBW has for their A32x? Thank you.

  7. Hello, best wishes for a merry and peaceful Christmas to everyone! I have a question that has been buzzing me for a few days, I bought the pc that will arrive in a few days by putting 2 nvme ssds of 1tb each Samsung 980 Pro, only now I have a big doubt, how is it better to prepare the operating system and msfs? The motherboard will be a Z790 d5 tomahawk. I will use the pc at 99x100 only for msfs, so how is it better to put SO and msfs? SO on one m2 and msfs on the other m2 ?Or would it be better to put both of them on the same m2?Only that at that point 1tb would be small to have SO many msfs?I would kindly like to know if objectively there is a performance difference bet…

    Not to push too many buttons but it seems that MSFS is it its glory when flying VFR or GA aircraft. My observation is that MSFS struggles when using large airports with realistic AI traffic. and or large indepth skyliners. This situation was also prevalent with FSX / P3D versions which is a reason I chose never to fly into airports like KSFO or fly the heavies. Then like now I stick to high perfomace GA planes in and out of small to medium size airports. Doing this I feel I can avoid substandard perfomance , CTDs and enjoy smooth flying. I'm interested on what others think about this and is it simply a matter of obtaining an uber PC to acheive the req…

    I have a few questions for the Fenix folks that I thought I would ask here. I know they have a Discord page, but I am not too sure how to use that and looking at the page I have saved, there doesn't seem to be too much activity in a few months. I thought I would check to see if any of the following are being worked on or considered. Thanks! - Icing... Currently, it is recommended to have icing turned off in MSFS. Does Fenix plan to have that fixed in the near future so we can use realistic winter opps? - Printer - Do you plan on having the capability to actually print out info from the MCDU (performance, load sheet, etc.)? That is super helpful in my opinio…

  15. Hi, I am working through the flight training lessons in MSFS and am stuck in the 'take off' and solo flight ones. Both lessons require you to take off and maintain a speed of 75kts whilst reaching a height of 5,000ft. The distance is limited to ensure you keep a reasonable angle of ascent. Even with full power, I am unable to keep a steady speed of 40kts and can only get above 50kts if I begin descending, which is not good for your performance score. Any ideas how I can achieve the speeds required?

  20. Hi all, hoping some of my fellow flight simmers can give me some advice as to where I am going wrong. I am completely confused and have tried so many things I have lost count. I thought I had a decent set up, but now I am starting to wonder. My system is as follows:- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700K CPU @ 3.80GHz Geforce RTX 3090Ti 32Gb Ram But I am struggling to get above 20 FPS, and anywhere built up I am as low as 8 FPS, even though my CPU and GPU are both only running at around 30% (although I do notice sometimes there may be one or two cpu cores running higher than the rest). As flying Helicopters is my preference, especially in VR, I…
