No issues here flying from Iceland to Greenland currently...

Maybe MS could change the wording then? Because if I remember correctly, it’s labeled “max frame rate”.

Bob, I don't think you can say "actually there is" when the "solution" you listed costs 9 bucks a month. I know it's not a lot of money, but the original item was and is.... free. I don't view those similarly.

The thing I've learned about Fenix is that the wait is always worth it. When they release something, it is in near perfect condition -- more so than any other developer. So, as the wait can feel long, at least when we do finally get the shiny new plane, we don't have to spend a ton of time complaining about why they should've taken more time to release a finished bird.

Having watched the part about the Praetor it made me realize just how much money any developer will get if someone could finally officially license the Gulfstream. Imagine having this level of fidelity for a G800. MS has the money and MSFS has the reputation that makes me feel like somehow, someway they could finally work a deal out to get something as awesome as a G800 officially licensed. Imagine doing LAX-SYD in a BUSINESS JET with that kind of avionics. Done on this level, it would probably be the best selling plane in the history of flight simulation. Sometimes I dream...

Well that’s awesome news!

And they still command top dollar for their planes, too! I recently broke down and bought their 777F. The wife and kid went to Grandma and Grandpas in Florida and I needed a new project. While it’s good, it’s not great. PMDG products used to be great. I don’t know why they got lazy, maybe they grew complacent being “the best”, but when you compare their planes to the Fenix A32X’s — it’s not even close. For example, just go look at the texturing right above the mode control panel on their 777. Like…what is that?! You really nailed it on the head by saying they don’t innovate anymore because they used to be top dog on innovation but now most of their products just feel like port overs with slightly enhanced textures — not to even mention they haven’t released a NEW plane in over — what? 10 years now?

This is obviously very exciting and I’m pumped to hear they’re looking to simulate things as fine tuned to how the temperate registers before it enters the engines to after — but, if they don’t pay the same attention to the avionics, then it’ll be a bust, or bummer — kind of like the ATR is, which I’ll admit is totally acceptable and I’ve had many of fun hours on that plane, but if they’re going for “expert”, the whole plane should be flawless.

...I wrote the comment. Most adults can deduce that what I wrote is my opinion. What an odd comment to make.

This is honestly the most maddening thing about the MSFS development team. I know they read these forums and it blows my mind they're fine with X-Plane smoking them on clouds and weather. Weather is arguably the most important aspect of flight and they're totally OK with their current version being completely meh. I hope someone can talk sense into them because it's MSFS's weakest component.

100% I definitely wasn't trying to stick up for PMDG and blame MSFS for their lack of sophistication on turbulence because, as you mention -- other addon planes don't suffer from the same issues PMDG planes do. It actually blows my mind that the same bugs are still present in MSFS2024 that were in P3D and even beyond.

PMDG reccomends turning turbulence off, or since you're in 2024 -- to low. They say it isn't modeled accurately.

Are you running @ 4k? I have a 3080 and was getting OK performance with mostly high settings and a few ultra settings. I have a second monitor that is 1080, so I got curious to see what the difference in performance would be -- NIGHT AND DAY. The complete gain in performance was well worth it for me to downsize resolution. I can now run almost everything on ultra, with FSLTL and in the Fenix.

FBW planes, and all though they’re a labor of love and free — aren’t optimized all that well. It’s time to bite the bullet and purchase the Fenix A320. I thought for the longest time that the FBW would suffice but then I gave in and purchased the Fenix and it’s easily one of the best addon planes in all of flight sim. It’s very well optimized now. Also, if you’re asking questions regarding performance— it’s good to list your computer / screen specs.

Can anyone confirm the weather radar tilt, please.
