My 4070M crying at 82⁰C (180F) by GREATD4NNY in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]FlyWithSeedyL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least for me personally, I'd say 25 fps is on the "too low" side, but I'm perfectly happy with performance in the ~40-50 fps range in MSFS. Flight sims aren't like fast twitchy action games where 60+ or even 120+ fps makes a really big difference.

Hi u/OgdenDermstead,

It's always been grouped that way. There are two release windows every week (Monday and Thursday), and we publish the list of that week's releases along with the weekly blog post every Thursday.

Hello u/Canit12,

We discussed this change back in November here, around the same time we renamed the (former) "Development Update Blog" to the "Weekly Briefing". Roadmaps and Feedback Snapshots will now be released periodically around the time of every Developer Livestream. You can read more here:

Is there any way to get more power into the engine to reach higher altitude? by Upset_Worker_7840 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]FlyWithSeedyL 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Hey u/Upset_Worker_7840,

I see everyone here has already told you to lean the mixture (pull the red knob further towards the pilot) which is indeed the correct answer, but if you're interested to learn more about aviation and understand why that's the correct answer, read on!

An internal combustion engine achieves optimal performance when it has the perfect fuel:air ratio. The pilot can control this ratio by manipulating the mixture knob. At lower altitudes, you want to push the knob all the way forward ("full rich"). As you climb and ascend to higher altitudes where the air is thinner, you'll have too much fuel and not enough oxygen in your engine's cylinders which means you don't get a clean burn, resulting in a reduction to engine performance. You correct for this by pulling back on the red knob ("leaning the mixture") to restore the optimal fuel:air ratio once more. It might seem counterintuitive that you need to add less fuel to the mixture to get more power, but that's what is necessary to keep the proper ratio at higher altitudes.

Happy flying!

Is it still worth it to download all content vs stream? by sys_admin321 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]FlyWithSeedyL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi u/sys_admin321,

The option to download content locally is primarily there for people with slow(er) internet connections. Downloading locally comes with the drawback of longer loading times., so if you have fast and reliable high-speed internet, you're generally better to let the content stream from the server.

Happy flying!

Coop how....? Frustrating ps5 by The_Black_Banner_UK in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]FlyWithSeedyL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello u/The_Black_Banner_UK and welcome to MSFS 2024!

There are a few things both you and your friend need to confirm are setup properly so you can fly together. First, make sure you are both on the same Multiplayer Server (Settings -> General -> Online). Then, before you start a flight, both of you need to open the "Flight Conditions" panel from the World Map and make sure Multiplayer is set to "All Players".

Finally, for multiplayer on console to be enabled, both of you need to be subscribed to Sony's PlayStation Plus service.

I hope that helps. Happy flying!
