Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Hi all, have a question for those with the Verticalsim KBOI. Are any of you experience massive frame drops when facing towards runway 10L? Seems like I have a constant smooth 35 frames all other angles, but when the camera pans towards that direction or when taxing and I head that way the frames will drop to like 11 and stay there for maybe 15 seconds then jump back to 35. I dont get it...

Hi there, A veteran sim pilot here, who moved completely to Linux (Pop!_OS) a couple of years ago. Back to refresh my PPL skills after a... short brake. Back in the day (FSX/P3D era), I've been addicted to experimenting with various registry settings, fsx.cfg tricks, tools like NVidia Inspector, complete setup-n-run guides like this giant one from NickN etc. to improve the simulator performance. Since I've been unable to get my hands on the Asobo masterpiece for technical reasons, I think I've missed a lot of development in the field. With new advancements in Linux gaming, I think I can now return to my passion again. So, fellow captains: 0- Do I gener…

I, like probably many others, get the error message below. CDT. I updated the drivers already to my Geforce 1080 (516.94). I don't overclock, nor is it overheating. I also applied all available updates of MSFS. The plane was the default Cessna 172SP. In the graphics settings, I tried DX12 (Beta), which was set by default, and DX11. Any other ideas?

Any idea why the fps counter thing shows less than 11GB of vram that my 1080 Ti actually has? GPUmem9GB by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr

First a couple of examples from my own experience (with HP Reverb G2 and 2070 Super) 1) When AA set to TAA (in VR) I set renderscale to 50 because I see no difference between 100 and 50. Is that not strange not seeing any difference between so different values ? 2) When I enable NVIDIA DLSS I am GPU limited while still in 2D but when I switch to VR I get main thread limited (has never happened before). Should it not be the other way around ? Benchmark results 3) MSFS benchmarks shows 5800X3D superior to all other CPUs. But according to https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-12600K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-5800X3D/4120vsm1817839 even a 12600K is mo…

I have recently uninstalled MSFS 2020 due to the fact that yesterday I opened up the sim but could not get past the above message and up until then the sim had been working fine. I have now re downloaded and pressed play and yet I still cannot get past this screen. Really at my wits end and really do not know what to do next. Any help would be appreciated. Michael

Gaffer Simulations has just released it's version of FAOR - OR Tambo/Johannesburg International Airport. Being the largest and busiest airport on the entire African continent (at least until covid struck), surprised it has taken this long to accurately create this airport and render it as it looks IRL. The Asobo version is really bad. This appears to be a very accurate rendition, completely custom built from the ground up, includes interior modelling. @FilbertFlies - this is one to review. 🙂 I bought it on SimMarket (EUR18,00) but won't be able to check it out in sim until later. It has been in development for well over a year (maybe even 2 years). Available on …

Just announced on FB. Looks sweet .. https://www.facebook.com/523077631163948/posts/2296842543787439/?sfnsn=mo

As a direct result from player feedback from last week’s first public test build, we released a new beta build (1.29.25.0) of Sim Update 11 to testers earlier today. Thank you to everyone who has participated in the Sim Update 11 beta and reported issues on the for…

That looks very interesting! https://www.facebook.com/HypePerformanceGroup

Anyone having these crashes with SU11 DX12 Instructions memory cannot read.

Hi does anyone know why when i delete the SceneryIndexes folder items under the local cache folder when i load MSFS and check again its got all the scenery back in there even if its not installed in the community folder. Where is it getting its data from?

This week the SSC will be crossing the Andes from Chile to Argentina. The flight plan looks very interesting, imo. link: https://discord.gg/xBceaarG Aircraft: https://flightsim.to/file/15090/as-33-me https://flightsim.to/file/25518/discus-2c-glider - https://flightsim.to/product/discus-2c-premium https://flightsim.to/file/30384/dg-flugzeugbau-dg-808s

Hmmmmmm......

So, on the other forums they are saying there are still some issues with AI traffic, but it's looking much improved IMO. Below video with FSTL, SU11: EGPH with FSLTL SU11 Beta - YouTube

Does anyone else have a lot of big elevation issues within FB's KDEN, particularly around turning off of 16R onto D8 and entering the gate area around WB? I got some air off of the high speed turnoff off of 16R and I couldn't get enough thrust from the FBW to taxi into the gate area. I got stuck on top of the "hill". Is there a fix for this? Thanks

Today I landed with A320 Fenix at RW 10 and CircleToLand at 28 finally. Ones touched down and during roll out suddenly, without seeing anything on the runway, the plane "skipped" upwards and fall back to the RW again. As the speed was very low (below 40kts) I managed to taxi again, and discovered that on some place at the runway (half length roughly) it seems that there is "an invisible obstacle" preventing a smooth landing. Bit this obstacle can´t be seen. Has anyone else discovered this? I call it invisible obstacle without knowing it are "really obstacles" or "objects" in MSFS, but my plane behaved like having hit something. This is at GMMX, Runway …

I’m a delighted Tobii user for 2 months now, after more than a decade of using TrackIR. My Tobii works fine except that I would love, as many Tobii users, to have a shortcut to freeze the view, then release it to unfreeze. For example, when looking closely to nav/com/ap and settings stuff with the mouse. The stability is quite very good with the Tobii but there’s always room for improvement. I buy FaceTrackNoIR andI have the feeling that the shortcut assigned to my Mouse Button #5 doesn’t work all the time. Sometimes, I need to press the button several time to make it work. Obviously, it’s not a hardware button issue. It works great in other environnement. FaceT…

what would be the impact on MSFS future growth? Microsoft lays off nearly 1,000 people across the company. https://www.theverge.com/ A week after Microsoft announced new hardware and big moves in the VR and AR space it’s reportedly laid off nearly 1,000 people across the company, including on the Xbox and Edge teams. Also affected was the MSMT division, which is focused on developing next gen tech. Microsoft quietly laid off under 1,000 employees in teams across the company, from Xbox to government tech

Hi, was flying then all of a sudden my Navigraph shut down, tried to log in but nothing, then when I click on the Navigraph icons FS is not showing up nor any of my addons like Fenix, PMDG etc..

Is Asobo going to fix problems with PG cities? Are most using 3rd party cities? Thank You Bill McCracken

Hi all, is Navigraph / simbrief server down ?

I have been switching between DX11 and DX12 to see what looks and runs better on my system. After a few flights on both with the Fenix 320, I saw no performance differences (smooth on both) and visually I saw no difference either. Am I doing something wrong or is there not much of a difference between the two? Just curious to hear what you think. My specs are in my sig. Thanks!
