SAS_Storebror 1265 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I think so, yes. IL-2 Great Battles also has a hard time when looking right and left quickly. It's simply the amount of texture going in and out of view - as soon as it's more than the GPU can keep in it's cache, you'll get a certain FPS impact. I guess that's why the M$ devs were so reluctant to provide TrackIR support from the beginning, and why they're still puzzled to include VR support. Mike Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Is this most affected by the size/speed of vram? If so, it's disappointing that the RTX 2070 and 2080 aren't coming with much more ram than the current gen. I'm not springing $1500 for a gpu.

I am not entirely sure I will fly that much , making it worth while. I rather sit back with my current gear and wait to see what people say about this super gpu.

SAS_Storebror 1265 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I guess it's the size of VRAM. the RTX 3080 is said to come with 10GB at a price of $700 which would be a good deal IMHO, however that's the founders edition and honestly you'll want to wait for custom designs with slightly more sophisticated cooling solutions anyway.

Trooper117 2580 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I don't notice a performance increase since the patch, but loading times have definitely improved for me... I also hope the problem of crashes when disconnecting X box controller, (I use it for looking around in drone view) have been rectified... not had a chance to check that yet.

Monostripezebra 1545 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I just noticed something disapointing: I bought the LOWI Addon Scenery.. and it is uncollidable. Huge downside for me, anyone else knows anything about the other scenreies? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
AndyJWest 2641 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I'd be surprised if the makers of custom scenery consider accurate collision models much of a priority. The market they are selling for is probably much more concerned with appearance and with being able to be a pretend-airline-pilot than with interacting with the scenery that close up. Us pretend-fighter-aces are going to have to get used to the fact that most civilian simmers only expect to make contact with the runway. In a fully-functioning aircraft. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I still feel that especially uncolidable apron objects such as the light poles etc. take a lot away for "realistic" civi simming..

Given the way that such objects are routinely placed at AI-generated airports, I'm not sure making them collidable would be wise. And as for realism, personally I think the questionable flight-modelling at low speed/high AoA is much more of a concern as far as learning from screw-ups goes. There seems to be precious little comment on this on the forums though - probably because most civ-simmers have got used to poor modelling of the same thing in previous software. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I flew over La Gomera ( second south Canari) It is a lot of fog up in the forrest, temperature there is from 25 to 6 degrees celsius.

AndyJWest 2641 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I'm not convinced that MSFS models thermals. What it does model though is updrafts and downdrafts from wind over terrain. I've just been flying the JMB VL-3 out of Gibraltar in live weather conditions. The wind is blowing 20 knots or so from the east, straight up against the near-vertical rock face, making for perfect ridge-soaring conditions! I found I could switch the engine off, and maintain altitude. The area of lift seems small though, doesn't extend down the face of the rock as much as I'd expect, and turbulence is severe. And if you get on the downwind side of the lift, it immediately turns into a severe downdraft, making impact with the back of the rock more or less inevitable. Gibraltar, from a safer distance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That's at ground level though, and it seemed stronger higher up. It seems to agree pretty closely with the actual weather right now. See e.g. windy.com's maps, which show how the wind is getting funnelled through the strait. https://www.windy.com Link to post Share on other sites
216th_LuseKofte 3702 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) I bought the 182 but it wont show up. dl in game restarted game and cannot see it. I dl apparently a update in the bonansa. now it get gps g 1000 😳 I was sure the old one hsd analog dials. Can someone confirm this. In settings you can choose several flight models. Modern, fsx and val something. The latter can adjust realism. With everything on 100% my cub fly sideways. Anyone tested this. It is in modern by default I was in Gibraltar last year, nice place and pretty good modeled. I soared with the 152. A good sailer over the hills.

Me too, but at £120 per dial, I think I'll have to find a cheaper option. I've been experimenting with using Spacedesk to use a Samsung Galexy tablet as a small extra monitor just for a pop-out 2d display panel that can sit under my main monitor. It works, but causes a lot of stuttering, probably due to trying to send a lot of data via WiFi. And the tablet doesn't seem to support networking via USB. ☹️ This might work for someone else though, if anyone wants to try it. https://spacedesk.net/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
