Seems as if SU10 has corrupted my ASOBO 930. Get really bad distorted panel. I have removed mod, liveries, lights, etc.(everything associated with 930) and even with just Asobo 9930 running I get the problem. Thinking of removing Asobo 930 and letting my next opening of MSFS replace it. Will that work ? Or is there a repair function that I can run ? Any ideas ? Dave

Using the NV GRD 517.48 and still seeing these graphic artifacts with settings on DX12. Should that be happen with this Driver, that's why this driver was adapted for MSFS as far as i know ? Mostly I see these graphic artifacts at Airports/Runways where grassparts are set to the runways. Anybody else having issues with that or i am the only one ? My other settings are all away from Ultra most Middle and High only one is at Ultra so i think i am not overshooting the sim with Ultra settings. Just would to know if others have sutch issues aswell.. Can this be fixed somehow ? cheers 😉

Decided to buy the bae 146 and give it a try.Ive done so far two routes, YPDN-YPGV and YSSY to YMML.Its a really neat aircraft and the devs put a lot of detail into it.Not much of a fan of steam gauge stuff so this was my first time flying something other than glass cockpit https://imgur.com/a/Lzw8gB2

Would someone please try to make a take of from runway 17 at ESMS today? There's a crosswind there right now and I'm unable to to take of from that runway today after the SU10 update. There's not enough rudder authority. Even when appyling full left rudder the plane still drifts heavely to the right agains the wind to the grass! I've tried to unplugg my TRp rudder pedals and all my joysticks and rebooted my computer and tried to stear the plan with just my keyboard but got the same result. It is a bug or is it someting wrong on my end? If i try to take of with no real wheather there's no problem to controll the aircraft on the runway with my Thrustmaster TPR rudder. I'l…

After sim update 10, if I hit esc while flying, I then have much lower fps and gpu usage after resuming. Also have choppy panning. Solid 60 fps before using the menu followed by 30 fps and choppy panning after resuming. This is with pmdg 737’s and the fenix a320. I have a rtx 2080 using any of the drivers released since May. Any suggestions other than not using the settings menu during flight? thanks

Hi, I just purchased LVFR Miami and I get flickering lights (runway etc) when running DX12 TAA. DLSS eliminates the issue, but has other problems not related to LVFR. Does anyone else see this issue with this addon runnning TAA? I have a i7-10700k (no OC) / 3090 GPU @4k running the latest GRD. I tried registering at LVFR forum site, but I have yet to get a confirmation email to ask / post over there.

under the launch additional programs area, i have 6 or so exe's added there, seems only 1 or 2 of them ever start when you press the play button to launch msfs.. has anyone else ran into this one? EDIT: i guess i had something weird going on with paths in a few of the shortcuts in the msaddon linker, it seems fine now.

It looks like we may need to post our views on the official MSFS forum and the dev website and also try and bring it up in the next Q&A as they have marked "Implement Weather and Terrain APIs" as fixed in the yesterdays dev update post. When we all know developers such as Fenix, PMDG, FlyByWire (and others) need more than what they have implemented so far to bring the weather radars we all want to see. We can all post our thoughts in these areas: MSFS Forum Thread: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/implement-weather-and-terrain-api-s-for-aircraft-developers-to-implement-accurate-radar-predictive-windshear-egpws-and-metar-wind-uplink/442016/119 Dev …

Not sure when this started, but I have this brief shimmy/vibration that happens maybe every 15-30 seconds during taxi. Main thread, GPU utilization, VRAM and frame rate stays fine and animation in-between this brief anomalies it's perfectly fluid. I don't have any other AV software beyond Defender, and using the TechPowerUP Counter Control doesn't have any affect on it. I think it happens more when turning while taxi, and may happen while in the air but not noticing it. I seem to have plenty of headroom so it doesn't seem like I'm too close to seeing either CPU or GPU to threaten maintaining 30fps by vsync. I am careful to keep T-LOD low enough to keep frame rate st…

I'm curious what tweaks you all have made to FSRealistic since the release of SU10. Personally, with the advent of gusts, I've turned off all Turbulence movement in FSR (but left the sound on). Mike Caparula

Just a heads up if you're using the TDS GTN Xi's - METAR readout is now included - just download the latest TDS app from the My Account page: https://tdssim.com/Account/welcome Once in the sim, you can view the METAR at airports that support it (typically ASOS or AWOS equipped) by going to the Waypoints/Info --> Airports --> Wx data. Works worldwide. This is live weather from the real world. metarinst by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr RV14_TDS_METAR3 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr Dual setups work fine to check multiple sources (say for alternate airports /comparison) C310_TDS_METAR2 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr

To save reading every SU10 thread, (no shortage of them) would you be so kind as to list the things I should love and the things I should loathe? Just so I know. 🙂

Very smooth animation at 30 FPS, and my GTX 1070 card is using 1.54 GB's more of its memory than when running DX11. I've had no artifacts, and all is running very, very well. The main 'take away' for running my MSFS/System using DX12 and the new nVidia GameReady driver is the best animation smoothness than ever than when running under DX11 since purchase.

Is there an issue with speed in Approach Mode on the Fenix? Or is it user error. So here is the situation. On approach and Approach Mode active, ATC gives me a speed restriction of 190 knots, green dots is approx 210 knots and I have flaps 1 out. Once established on approach and speed restriction cancelled, I lower to flaps 2 push the speed button to managed mode and the aircraft increases the throttle and speed jumps to 250 knots. I think this is the speed of last waypoint before I manually entered the speed. Why would it do this and not just go to Approach Mode speed at Flaps 2 ?

Anyone know how to get this monkey out of my face haha? It's the new RV8 - but I've seen it happen in a few msfs products now. I've tried removing the weight but then the avatar goes away in external view as well. I think it's a model issue. avatarinmyface by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr

Hi, when flying the Cessna Caravan IFR i generally avoided slecting a arrival during setup. Usually i select an departure and leave arrival at "direct". No problem so far. Yesterday the sim selected an published arrival for me so i went with it. My cruise altitude was 8000 feet but for some reason as the arrival started the ATC wanted me to go up to 14000 feet (!). Of course i refused since i was already close to the airport. But in the WT G1000 i saw that the last arrival WP did not trigger the approach. I was assigned an approach and had loaded it into the G1000. But after the last Arrival WP my plane just continued straight ahead. So i manually act…

Just thought I would share a little information with you guys. Running a n RTX3080 with a 5600X I found very little difference in framerates between the two and like many of you ran TAA as the loss of FPS was minimal and TAA was slightly better - the trade off was not worth it. However, I just swapped out my 5600X for a 5800X3D and the difference in FPS between the two is massive at exactly the same settings. Where I was getting 80 FPS in TAA, I just switched over to DLSS quality and the FPS jumped to 120, so I will be sticking with that. I run at mostly ultra settings with a LOD of 300 (though anything above 250 was a bit of a strain). I'm using the new s…

The initial recommendation was to delete them in Content Manager, which works.. But if you use the Addons Linker, you can move them to a new folder and enable/disable them as required. In the Official folder you will find the Onestore folder. Add a new folder to the Official folder, called PG Cities. Drag all the fs-base-coverage-map-xxxxxx-tin folders from the Onestore folder to the PG Cities folder. In the Addons linker, add the new PG Cities folder. Tools / Options / My addons folders / Add... OK, OK. Now you can enable individual World Update PG Cities addons at will. 🙂 The base level PG cities are still there, and can be turned off i…

Hello, i need a little help from people having big monitors. i've had a few requests in the past months from people using big monitors saying that the UI was a bit too smallish. Being developped on a 1980x1020 monitor, some elements like the toolbar probably looks extra tiny on a 4K monitor and might be a bit straining to the eyes 🧐. So i took a little time to completely redo the toolbar using another technique that allows the size to be changed (same for the little buttons). The images had to be changed too because of the new technique used, so some are not exactly the same as before but that should not be an issue. I don't have a 4K monitor (and probably …

Hello Gang! I seem to remember seeing something about the Map in MSFS being updated with SU10??? After the update, when I click on the map, I get the same old map - I mean, I can click on an airport and get frequencies now, which we could not get before, but there seems to be a lot of stuff missing such as ILS frequencies and such. Did the map get updated????? Thanks Dennis
