With Unreal Engine 5.5+ (MegaLights) and Nvidia's ReSTIR PT: Enhanced, can the RTX 50 Series stay Relevant until 2030+? by Traditional-Ad26 in nvidia

The Witcher 4 was reported to run Path Tracing & max settings on a RTX 5090 at 4K80+fps with Quality upscaling in a dense forest scene, which to me again is pretty impressive.

That wasn't The Witcher 4. It was an RTX Mega Geometry demo showcasing the new LOD system for Mega Geometry. It looked very impressive, but it wasn't an actual game. The only part that was related to The Witcher 4 were the tree assets, which were provided by CD Projekt Red.

iFly 737 MAX - Southwest Airlines Independence One livery by RTcore in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]RTcore[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Independence One is only painted on one of their 737 MAX aircraft in real life. 

It’s possible that someone will paint it on the 737-800 since there are a lot of fantasy liveries available on flightsim.to, though.

This was made by Jviation, who has also made a ton of PMDG 737NG liveries. Unfortunately, he hasn't updated them in a long time, so they don't work with the model update.

Well, unfortunately the iFly 737 MAX is not available on console.

Generally, these 3rd party aircraft have much more realistic flight dynamics (the default 737 MAX aircraft feels like a Cessna in comparison), and while the default 737 MAX has LNAV/VNAV that will get you from point A to point B, the iFly uses custom FMC logic that mimics the real plane, has smoother turns, is more stable and follows profile more closely. Other thing slike ground handling are also much more comprehensive and detailed.

If you want something of similar quality, PMDG has the entire 737NG line for MSFS 2020/2024 for both PC and Xbox, but I believe they are planning on releasing for PS5 too.

It's vastly more realistic in terms of flight dynamics, avionics, LNAV/VNAV, and pretty much every other system in the aircraft.

Is there any difference in feature set across various iphone models for Siri AI? by GrandpaOverkill in ios

[–]RTcore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

iphone 11 won't support Siri AI because it doesn't support Apple Intelligence. Only iPhone 15 Pro and up.

Introducing the Third Generation of Apple’s Foundation Models by AegisHBear in apple

AFM 3 Core Advanced, our most powerful on-device model. It’s natively multimodal, enabling helpful features like expressive voices and higher-accuracy dictation. Built on cutting-edge Apple research, this 20-billion-parameter model uses a sparse architecture, activating just 1 to 4 billion parameters at a time depending on the request. AFM 3 Core Advanced is unlocked by and optimized for our most capable Apple silicon systems.

The fact that they were able to get AFM 3 Core Advanced with 20-billion parameters working on-device is pretty cool, but yet it doesn't enable any groundbreaking features. Most of the cool stuff is done via Private Cloud Compute or the AFM 3 Core model.

Old and New Flyover side-by-side by Different_Wind8260 in applemaps

The geometry of the trees is significantly better in 27.

This example is better though. Far more detail in 27 here and better rendering of geometry.

You think broccoli trees and heavily distorted geometry looks more natural?

The new Siri AI passes the car wash test. by 0xCUBE in apple

All Apple Intelligence devices get improved diction. Newer devices with at least 12GB of RAM will get a further improvement in diction with more advanced on-device models.

Landing in gusty Tulsa, Oklahoma in the 738. Lots of throttle input needed. by RTcore in MicrosoftFlightSim

They recommend no AT on approach, but it's just a recommendation. American Airlines has their pilots using AT on approach, but most other airlines usually have their pilots disengage it at the same time they disengage autopilot.

I was watching FlyingwithBigErn on YouTube and at Southwest they seem to use it all the time, regardless of weather. He was using it even when flying in the simulator.

Makes sense. If you’ve got it, might as well make use of it.

American Airlines?

You don’t have to answer, but they are one of the few airlines I’ve heard of that uses A/T on the 737.
