  1. OCTOBER 13TH, 2022 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE Posted by: Microsoft Flight Simulator Team Screenshot by SlidHydra647449 (Forum) Yesterday we released the first test build for SU11. While this build does not include helicopters, gliders, or other content from the upcoming 40th Anniversary Edition, it does contain dozens of fixes and improvements. You can read the release notes here. Players who were previously part of the SU10 beta are automatically enrolled in the SU11 beta. For players who were not part of the SU10 beta but would like to help test this time around, instructions on how to join the SU11 beta can be found here. Thank…

    So since the updates that Asobo has made I am really liking the new flight model. I actually feel like I'm floating in the air and balance feels much more important. I hopped into the Carenado Seminole to see how that was flying (I haven't flown this in a while) hoping it would also show improvement in the air. However, nothing seems to have changed and after experiencing the enhancements made by Asobo, it is rather disappointing to fly. Anyone know if older add-ons need to be updated to take advantage of the new flight model enhancements or is this only going to be seen in the default planes and premium add-ons such as the Milviz C310? Thanks, LouP

    I decided to give the AMD FSR AA option a try. My VRAM usage at EGLL went to 11.757 with AMD FSR Quality compared to TAA which used 8.683. I thought FSR and DLSS rendered the screen at a lower resolution then what is set and then upscaled it to desired resolution. I also figured and perhaps I am wrong that this would result in lower VRAM usage. Performance used the same amount of VRAM but caused flickering. TAA (4K TLOD 400): AMD FSR Quality:

  6. If I recall, and I have been flight simming since FS 98, the main objective of flight simming was to have a smooth flight experience. I am sure even with my settings I could get 60 frames in a nice quite area (10700k, 3080). Big deal, bravo, but instead I have my frames locked at 30 and a smooth experience, which makes me quite satisified, yes like most of us,every once in a while will get a stutter, in a highly dense area. So explain to me, so many topics frames are mentioned, is it for bragging rights? I always thought flight simming the aim was to get a smooth flight ? This is not a one shooter game,or racing car, this is supposed to be a SImulator. Sure t…

    So I'm pretty much sold on FSLTL as my airliner AI app. Question is, what about something equivalent for GA AI? Seems all the GA AI addons I've come across need to run in offline mode which is not too good for FSLTL. I don't mine turning of FSLTL and running offline if I'm at a nice GA airport out in the woods. What I would like is some AI GA flying around when I do. I've tired a lot of combinations - had some 50 GA aircraft at Gillespie Field Field in Sand Diego but after 20 minutes not a single takeoff or landing (I know, I was timing it). So what are others out there doing? Can I have my cake and eat it too?

    Hi all, I dont know what else I can do, I did follow these 2 videos exactly to a tee.. I did backup the config file before the modifications just in case...well I went back to the config file I had before the modifications since my MSFS keeps hanging on me when loading the pmdg 737. The bar almost gets to the end, but I have waited 30 min and it just stays there. When I go to task man FS does indicate not responding. Anyone have any advice on how to fix this. Everything was working great before following these videos...I have also used Display driver uninstaller again and just installed the latest NVidia drivers again without using NVCeanstal. Im on a microsoft MSFS …

CPU: i7-980 Extreme 4 core GPU FTW 1070 (non Ti) Total System Memory: 12 GB (max allowed for my Dell Motherboard) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The performance of Update 10, and the latest nVidia (just released) has been nothing but ***stupendous***! Adding in all the fixes and enhancement to FSR2.0.5 (just released) has given me the absolute BEST animation and a totally believable real world (head movement and aural effects) in all my 45 years at this hobby. I am beyond the words; thrilled and satisfied! Installing FSR2.0.5 brought the entire 'flight experience' to actually at the total in…

  11. I think in the next 6 months, Asobo will iron out a lot of the more annoying bugs and there will probably be an optimization patch or two with it. AMD and NVidia will also have a chance to release additional driver updates that may optimize the game further. Bing Maps will also get better data over the next 3 years so the places we fly over will be more accurate. But most importantly, 3rd parties will have a wealth of planes and sceneries in 3 years time, and the community will also release a bunch of great stuff as well (ie. liveries are starting to be released by the community). I'm enjoying this sim immensely for now. But I can't wait to see what this sim becom…

  14. This has been really weird. A week ago or so I did a total new install of Win 10, then MSFS in total w/ all WUs. I started new w/ a virgin Community Folder, and installed my few addons (PMDG 738, AS CRJ-700, PACX, A Pilot's Life. After all was done rebooted etc and a few settings modified, I was restored to pretty much perfect performance, for several days. Last eve and this morning I'm getting these recurrent hard pauses and I'm not finding a way to ascertain where they come from. At about the 5 second mark in this short video be watching the DM FPS indicator for the red spike and with it a major pause. Last night I also installed Steam and two games I play in my f…

    So, been reading a bunch this weekend and watching some videos on it. Still confused by one aspect of @Lorby_SI AAO program. So, I have a StreamDeck XL and will be getting @guenseli profiles for it as I also have a VRinsight MCP2 and will use the AAO Bridge for that. What I am confused on (and I'm new at these programs so forgive me if this is dumb question), when I set up my Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog joystick/throttle and my MFG rudders / toe brakes through AAO, I know I have to do it for each aircraft if I want to customize the buttons and axis for the throttles and joystick of that particular aircraft. Are these controller profiles that I would set up be independent o…

    I saw a YT video in which the host used the PMS GTN 750 autopilot features with the C195. How could he get past the MSFS encryption of a "Local Legend" aircraft to enable the autopilot? I believe the aircraft.cfg and system.cfg are encrypted, no?
