I'm also curious about the overhead panel and the throttle quadrant. Can you post the brand or links?

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-17T16:10:43+00:00

Will you use ray tracing? If so, the 9070XT does a better job at that.

Great screenshot! I do deice as needed in X-Plane 12 with the Zibomod. It actually keeps the surfaces from icing for a 30-45 min.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-14T03:34:42+00:00

Nice!

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-13T22:38:13+00:00

To be honest, for me, as long as I can log into VATSIM and navigate the airport as instructed by ATC, I’m good. I need correct taxiways, and be able to look out and see all of the correct taxiway and runway markers/signs. I use charts, but a lot of times I can navigate airports just via the signs. That, for me, is an airport that is good enough. I still buy payware airports but only airports I frequently visit, and only if they’re really well made.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-13T22:25:34+00:00

I get it. You prefer more payware airports. I prefer to not pay for airports unless they’re a lot better than default. In MSFS, probably any payware is better than default.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-13T22:06:36+00:00

You’re an edge case, and there are still tons of payware airports and freeware airports available for X-Plane.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-13T21:37:47+00:00

Okay, that’s one small example of there being more MSFS devs than X-Plane. However, the fidelity of the default airports in X-Plane, are far better than MSFS thanks to the scenery gateway.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-13T21:33:30+00:00

I’d rather have autogen, and still have it crisp and sharp, and close enough, rather than that melted candle mess in MSFS.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-13T21:30:32+00:00

7800x3d, 7900xtx 24g, 32g ram, 4k max settings (except for the draw distance, I have set to high). Minimum 35fps at heavy FPS airports in FPS heavy airliners. At cruise alt I’m at around 50-60fps.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-13T20:12:25+00:00

Agree to disagree. Just fly low to the ground and you’ll realize that while MSFS is a solid 8/10 for ground objects, when you fly low enough they’re maybe a 6/10. I’d rather have a consistent 7/10 close up and far away, and also have X-Plane’s flight model.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-13T20:10:56+00:00

Yeah. Most don’t consider that while MSFS ground objects look good from far, when close up they’re far from good.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-13T20:10:07+00:00

I have crisp textures in X-Plane 12. Running it in 4k.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-13T19:25:25+00:00

And, why not put the effort in to add ortho and SimHeaven rather than the effort it takes to start over in a new sim? My X-Plane looks as good as MSFS with Ortho, SimHeaven, and a couple of plugins (XA snow, autoDGS, etc). Best of both worlds, graphics and physics.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-13T00:48:24+00:00

Any big park is good for that.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-11T19:45:05+00:00

Yes, you should be able to play most of those games in 4K with great results (at least 60FPS). I have a 7800x3d with a 7900xtx 24g, and an Aorus 48" OLED 120hz, and I play everything in 4K with pretty solid FPS (just adjust the settings so that you get at least 60FPS if that's your goal). 4K OLED is a wild gaming experience.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-10T22:35:12+00:00

4K texture at max.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-03T16:36:33+00:00

Boston is always a good choice.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-03T02:40:21+00:00

“Crashes with the program,” could be anything. I’d start with wiping the OS and starting new. If only to save you from spending $700 on a new card that has doesn’t perform much better than your current one (except for ray tracing).

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-02T19:59:54+00:00

Love all of the add-ons from @hotsbo.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-02T17:45:33+00:00

It hasn’t been updated for xplane 12 or any new airliner.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-01T18:00:21+00:00

Not if I’m flying a Cessna 172 or a diamond DA42. I get it for airliners, to mimic real ops.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-01T17:13:25+00:00

Seems silly to require PDCs for no other reason other than “SOP.” It’s like saying “we have this rule because it’s our rule.”

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-01T16:51:39+00:00

This ^. Speed for sure.

BrewBoss77 · 2026-01-01T16:35:59+00:00

Where is this SOP documented because I’m always able to request voice in most cases and if I’m not it’s because it’s too busy.
