BruceA320

I bought their rudder pedals a couple of weeks ago, Orion 32. They work fine without having to install any Winctrl software.

Same thing happens with the VKB STECS controller.

I've watched all the vids on the new FSFO V6 now and have decided to stick with FS2Crew. A few things turned me off FSFO:- FSFO seems more configurable and has more functionality but that comes with added complexity and effort. The voices didn't seem as nice as FS2Crew. There was a requirement for additional programs (FSUIPC) to make it work. The UI takes up a lot more space and doesn't look very nice. FS2Crew has a toolbar app for VR users if I get a VR headset in the future.

Before the Fenix was released, I used the FBW A320 and they had a good beginners guide:- https://docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/a32nx/a32nx-beginner-guide/overview/

Was a Fenix FS2Crew user for a couple of years. Coming back to flight sim after a several month break and was thinking should I re-install FS2Crew or try a different co-pilot app. For me it's more fun with a co-pilot app. I've been watching FSFO vids recently, the new V6 looks good, I might try it out instead of re-installing FS2Crew.

Go to Microsoft Store and sign in. If already signed in, sign out and back in again.

Same system specs here and I use 2x frame gen in MSFS 2024 no problems. Latest Nvidia driver, 576.52 but no Nvidia app as I noticed it causing stutters in another game a couple of months ago so removed it. Might be improved now but if you don't need any of its features, then don't install it. Do a clean driver install. Check system drivers are up to date as well:- AMD Ryzen™ 7 7800X3D Drivers

I think the message appears if stick or yoke doesn't quite go back to dead centre when resting. You can increase the deadzone in MCDU control config. I never got this message with my old plastic VKB stick. Bought a new heavy metal VKB stick and the message was appearing. The stick came with a big selection of springs and I replaced the weak default springs with stronger springs which stopped the message appearing.

"Corsair 64GB DDR5 6000 CL30" is currently the cheapest it's ever been at Amazon (£190). So I went ahead and ordered it. I'll sell my existing "Corsair 32GB DDR5 6000 CL30" kit. I'll run some before and after benchmarks when I get it.

I think that one needs FSUIPC.

FS2Crew does this and is cheaper than the paid version of FSUIPC:- https://fs2crew.com/product/fs2crew-fenix-airbus-edition/

There's a Windows update available now (KB5041587). It's supposed to have the "branch prediction optimization" that's going to be in 24H2. https://wccftech.com/amd-branch-prediction-optimization-ryzen-9000-7000-cpus-available-windows-11-23h2/

All working fine. Windows installed with hardly anything in the Start menu 👏. I selected this option "Add user accounts interactively during Windows Setup" in the xml so I could use my Windows account and have it activate.

Just finished upgrading my PC. I was on Win 11 before but this time I installed a de-bloated version of Win 11. You can create the Win 11 install USB as normal using the "media creation tool" on the Microsoft website. Then create a file called "autounattend.xml" and simply copy that to the USB. This website makes it easy to create the xml file:- https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ More info here:- https://youtu.be/VapEEf4k7Eo?si=Vy0F0x_RazyVGlmi

Get the ones that brake when you sit on the chair "brake loaded castors". I had the ones with the brake levers, got rid of them after a week, kept banging my feet against the levers and losing skin of the back of my feet 😬 !

Or replace the castors with brake castors:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/INCREWAY-Casters-Replacement-Universal-Function/dp/B07TTQXB1D

GSX is the main culprit for long load times. It's almost 75,000 files and doubles my load time from 3 minutes to over 6 minutes.

Just did a 2 hour flight and was getting a 1 second stutter about every 30 seconds. Thought it would improve so I didn't abandon it, but no, the entire flight had that 1 second stutter.

Another preview:-

It looks good:-

Couldn't really see much of a difference when I tested it last August:- https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/fsltl-or-fs-traffic/573897/64?u=palpablejoker18 Performance is probably more to do with number of aircraft injected rather than the models used.

Yes, don't put the FSLTL model package in your community folder. If you have both FSLTL and AIG models, you're just increasing loading times for no good reason. FSLTL injector will use AIG models only if FSLTL models are missing.

I also use the FSLTL injector with only the AIG models. There's over 7500 models/liveries compared to under 2000 with the FSLTL model package. There's no FPS difference between the AIG and FSLTL models as far as I can see. FPS is determined by the amount of models injected and that's easily controlled with the FSLTL injector.

No issues with display brightness here but I think I know why some people got a problem. If your monitor brightness is too low, FMA (top part of display) practically disappears:-
