GSX stuttering much worse last few weeks--you too, or no?
Yes, I have stuttering with GSX ground crew and vehicles. MSFS 2024. Its always been like this. I also notice stutters with BATC injected aircraft (after you pointed this out). For some reason, I’m not extremely bothered by DLSS ghosting on glass panels, or FG artifacts in general. Or low resolution clouds with apparent «grid-like» voxels. I use DLSS quality and everything seems quite good. I might not have the «pristine ultra-sharp amazing «image stability» as you claim. But in general, the sim (2024), looks fine to me. Bottom line: I do have the GSX «jerky» movement as you do. But based on all your recent posts - I think your more susceptible than the rest of us to these «artifacts».

A Total Eclipse of the Sim
Indeed! As things are so polarized (much as in the real world), I can't be bothered to make a video praising 2024 - I'd rather just delete the source material and watch season 6 of Better call Saul (I had nearly finished the video editing). I'll leave it up to "professional video creators" (insert your favourite flightsim youtube channel here) to promote FS2024. IMO I don't care what sim people are using. I honestly really can't be bothered.

Nevermind - I don't want to add fuel to the fire...

A Total Eclipse of the Sim
We don't actually know that it's a minority - but based on my experience, following most threads here on Avsim since 2024 released on Nov19, I think the drama and negative comments have settled down a bit. I just made a video (not sure if I'm going to release it yet), using several payware and freeware GA aircraft at various locations in 2024. Mostly a very nice experience, very few bugs (I did encounter a few - I would call them "non game breaking") - but with some considerable improvements in the ground detail, flight model (it differs depending on the aircraft addon), lighting model, shadows, clouds, weather, mountain cliffs etc.

MSFS 2024 New SU2 beta version available (1.4.10.0)
I'm still not on SU2. Based on what I've read so far, I'm apprehensive. I don't want to risk not being able to change the controller settings - or loose them entirely. In terms of performance, it seems that there are conflicting reports (as usual). Some are saying performance is considerably better, whilst some are having an opposite experience. At this stage, I think I'll just stay on the fence. I'm happy with how the sim works in SU1.

A Total Eclipse of the Sim
Well, as this thread is now 7 pages, I think that @Greazer is happy! Probably not a lot of new arguments - but from my perspective it's alright comparing the sims. One thing is for sure - there's always a bit of drama, which can be entertaining 🍿🍿🍿

Yikes: Displacement Mapping HUGE cost to the GPU + FPS
I’ve not seen much difference on/off with this setting. Except that enabling/disabling on the ground can cause mesh issues that doesn’t disappear until the flight is reloaded.

You can limit FPS in nvidia control panel or RTSS.

2024 graphics optimization | all Graphics Settings Compared
Cool video. Or useful I should say. Lately I’ve reduced settings from ultra as the difference with some settings is not that big, visually. Some settings impact performance more than others - ray traced shadows and trees in particular. The latest version of AutoFPS has a new feature where various settings can be reduced when performance is tight - I’ve found this very useful when flying airliners into the largest airports with ATC addons and AI traffic.

What is the current status of updating the AI models?
You don’t mention AIG, but if that’s what you’re using, download the latest version of AI manager https://github.com/Kaiii3/AIGTech-AIManager-beta/releases/latest

Attacks on BATC...Are they warranted?
Unfortunately this is not an option with BATC, as far as I know.

What are the little things that annoy you at addon airports?
Elevated taxiway lights, displaced runway markers, object popping - and probably a lot more that I can't remember right now. At some airports I get visual glitches like shimmering on fences and other structures. The object popping is significantly better if I set OLOD to 1000 (it doesn't affect performance that much). As for objects, I try to disable as much as possible e.g. with the iniBuilds airports. E.g. with parked cars I don't see the point of having these when they "suddenly" pop into view as I'm taxing past or on final approach.

Attacks on BATC...Are they warranted?
I got it a few months back as I realized I would be using BATC more and more. Sadly FSHud development seems to have come to a halt. Here's the changelog for 1.6.46.Experimental as an example of continued development:

Attacks on BATC...Are they warranted?
Sometimes BATC gives me "step" altitudes, other times I'm told to "descend on the STAR". It's getting better though - another large update to the experimental branch this week (can't remember if it was reported in this thread or another).
-
Attacks on BATC...Are they warranted?
Good question! I would descend to 5000ft at the final waypoint of PUBBB and follow the altitude and speed restrictions on the STAR. I don’t think there’s a valid transition between TEMBRS3 and ILS 10L, so I suppose BATC will give vectors to the localizer at some stage. I’m interested to hear how others interpret this though.

MSFS 2024 Eye adaption/bloom in exterior views
@Adamski_NZ It’s possible to download and install GFE separately without an older driver. It takes some googling around.

MSFS 2024 New SU2 beta version available (1.4.10.0)
Talking about avatars, I don’t like the ones in 2024. I think the ones in 2020 look more natural. Anyone else thinking the same?
-
Attacks on BATC...Are they warranted?
Maybe there’s something wrong with the airport layout. I’m on 2024 but I didn’t move EKCH over from 2020. That’s a huge update. I wonder how many people are on the BATC team.

Could you elaborate on «all traffic somehow stopped»? I don’t think I’ve experienced this. Also - two go-arounds at Kastrup - did you use max traffic settings?

MSFS 2024 New SU2 beta version available (1.4.10.0)
Does this happen only when using the injectors, or also by having the model folders present in the community folder?

Yeah all right so Asian languages are tricky to comprehend. Another good one! (I couldn’t actually play the sound on my iPad, but I think I know what you’re getting at).

That'll do - please disregard my previous post 🙂

Attacks on BATC...Are they warranted?
Good one Bob! There aren't any regional voices for Asia - or Australia / New Zealand - in FSHud. So... I guess you "win" again 🙂 If someone wants to hit me on the head with a blunt object - now's the time... word not allowed EDIT: If someone - anyone - can agree with me that the BATC voices aren't top notch in the video that I just shared - I'd be happy. For my sanity...
-
Attacks on BATC...Are they warranted?
There's been some criticism of FSHud voices - which I fully agree with. But I'd like to mention that BATC is not that much better (basic voices). Some of the regional accents (in particular Asian ones) I can hardly comprehend at all. Kelo? Lema?
