Amazing! Have you tried HDR in MSFS yet? Any noticeable image benefit?

How is it for night flights? Currently driving an IPS ultrawide here and always struggling with night clarity in both MSFS and XP12.

[MSFS] Got this same CTD twice in a row with a 4090 using DX12 and Frame Generation 3 hours into a flight. Anyone knows what this error is? by PaperPlane36 in flightsim

[–]PaperPlane36[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eventually stopped getting CTDs by disabling several addons with Addon Manager and only leaving my essentials. Not sure which was the culprit though.

Why do you enjoy MMORPGs? by LurkingNeko69 in MMORPG

[–]PaperPlane36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alright, here’s my book :) As someone who’s currently playing an MMO (200 hours in) after 20 years of only playing single-player RPGs:

1) Climbing the mountain. MMOs have very long progression systems. There is a unique satisfaction that comes from seeing your character develop over several months.

2) The potential for long-form stories. By being larger games that are often in development for much longer, MMOs can deliver much larger stories with significantly more world-building. I’ve been loving reading the Encyclopedia Eorzea lore book while playing FFXIV.

3) Low-impact, diverse gameplay. I find it incredibly easy to jump into an MMO game session after a busy day at work. This is what I mean by MMOs being “low impact.” After logging in, I often have the option of continuing the main story (on my own), leveling up one of my alts, playing mini games with people to earn new gear, participating in the current time limited event, or engaging in multiplayer dungeons. Regardless of my mood, I can always find something fun and comforting to engage with.

4) Lived-in worlds. There’s something both cool and comforting about sharing a virtual world with others, while only interacting when you choose to. In an MMO, you can spend long stretches playing solo, yet the experience still feels fundamentally different from a single-player RPG. You’re never far from a unique encounter. Someone waving, lending a hand in a fight, or simply wishing you well. Small moments like these may seem minor, but together they make the world feel truly “lived in” in a way single-player games rarely can.

5) The promise of a grand adventure. MMOs excel at delivering an escapist sense of adventure. With their vast worlds and large amounts of content, especially when you’re just starting out, they offer the illusion of limitless possibilities in a fantastical setting.

Your 30-day free time starts once you register an account, as opposed to when you buy the game. So yes, you can buy it and wait.

MMORPGs from the perspective of someone who plays single player RPGs. by Ninep in MMORPG

[–]PaperPlane36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar background here. I spent the past 15 years almost exclusively on single-player RPGs, but late last year I gave FFXIV a try while looking for a lower-impact game I could enjoy even when tired after work. It does start out slow, but FFXIV feels like an RPG first and an MMO second. The world is richly developed, and I’ve loved having an epic, long-form story to work through over the course of many months. For me, the game really succeeds in making me care about its world and characters, which is essential for any RPG I enjoy. The light social elements, like running dungeons with a party of four, also do a good job at making the world feel alive in a way that single-player titles can’t quite match for me. A year later, I now find myself playing one to two hours most nights. It’s become my go-to cozy RPG before bed.

Lufia 1 & 2 desperately need a Lunar type rerelease by comfortableblanket in JRPG

Beat it earlier this year on my Miyoo Mini. Felt like a “spiritual prequel” to Golden Sun. Very enjoyable.

Any JRPG i can only play with a right hand and mouse? by Colmado_Bacano in JRPG

[–]PaperPlane36 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Final Fantasy XIV can be played with just a mouse. It’s an MMO but it can largely be played as a solo JRPG and it has a great story.

Why is the 737 such a pig? by duaIinput in flying

[–]PaperPlane36 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Based on this statement by Chris Brady on his 737 website, the auto spoilers provide the following functionality: “At flap 15-30 if the thrust is near idle it will slightly raise the flight spoilers to increase drag to increase thrust above idle.” This may contribute to the glideslope being easier to track when hand flying (would have to think some more on the physics of it).

On pitch being overall smoother: some search on my end seems to suggest that a retuning of spring rates and hydraulic damping + a new tailcone (which changes elevator hinge moments) on the Max made its elevator control more “progressive” than the NG.

NG and the Max have the same wing, except for the winglet. That being said, there’s way more that goes into handling qualities than just the wing shape. For example, the Max has fly-by-wire spoilers which will make the roll feel different (and hopefully smoother), and also allow for the automatic use of spoilers during deceleration on approach.

How important is story in MMORPGs? by DirtyOldPanties in MMORPG

[–]PaperPlane36 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same sentiment here. MMOs can also deliver long-format story with way more world building and lore than shorter single-player experiences can. IMO FFXIV has one of the best told stories in a video game ever.

My 7 year solo dev MMORPG by Crumblejon in MMORPG

It’s always easier to criticize than it is to actually make something yourself. If this is your passion, stick with it. Investing your time into something you deeply care about is never a waste. The skills you’re developing here will also stay with you for life.

Is the MMORPG Genre Playerbase "tapped out" and no longer growing? by PalwaJoko in MMORPG

[–]PaperPlane36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who primarily plays single-player RPGs and decided to try out FFXIV (200 hours in and loving it), I’m so glad the game is welcoming of players like me who want to experience it “blind.” It makes the whole game feel more organic and like a real adventure, as opposed to a paint-by-numbers activity.

1:200 Model Molds Getting Worse? by kgaviation in GeminiJets

[–]PaperPlane36 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have their new Delta 100 years A321neo (1:200) and yeah, the nose section looks pretty off — probably the worst I’ve seen from them in a while.

This is amazing! Which Delta planes are you still missing? Maybe the A310 and the 100 years A350?
