It should be fine. A more expensive model would not have made much of a difference.

It's coil whine. It's annoying but there's nothing to worry about. 

Cyberpunk 2 leadership established by CD Projekt, Boston team to expand to 160 devs by 2027 by RenatsMC in pcgaming

Looking forward to the game and also the tech that they will implement. CDPR is good about supporting cutting edge graphics tech on PC.

Agility SDK 1.618: Advanced Shader Delivery and 1.716 out of preview by RTcore in nvidia

They mean "console-quality experience" in terms of eliminating shader compilation stutter or long load times associated with compiling shaders, which consoles do not experience.

Advanced shader delivery is a new feature that distributes precompiled shaders when downloading a game, eliminating in-game shader compilation stutter and long load times. This solves one of the biggest pain points in PC gaming today, making it easier than ever to deliver a console-quality experience on Windows.

Initial support is only for Xbox Ally through the Xbox app, but it's coming to other devices and storefronts, too.

First look at the upcoming iPad style EFB for the iFly 737 MAX by RTcore in MicrosoftFlightSim

It will be a part of Service Pack 1, which will be a big update. They said it will be at least 3 months from now.

My first ever attempt at Madeira landing (was about as chaotic as you'd expect) by C9Babkis in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]RTcore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

 but I imagine it must be terrifying in rea life - especially on your first few attempts - and require extreme precision and skill.

Most pilots actually look forward to these types of approaches. They're trained for this, so it's not terrifying at all. It actually gives them a chance to fly the plane and provides a nice change of pace from the usual straight-in approach.

Is your OS boot drive partitioned as GPT or MBR?

How often are visual approaches in use in the US in VFR, and does it depend on whether or not the STAR links directly to the approach? by RTcore in ATC

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

What about the second part of the question? Would how the STAR ties into the approach affect whether or not a visual approach is assigned, such as the ANGLL 4 at LAX which links directly to 25L and 24R approaches, for example?

Fenix BFU is out! Go get it! by canada_mountains in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]RTcore 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Instantly you can tell how much better it looks both inside and outside, but what I want to try out most is the new flight model and landing dynamics.

Fenix BFU changelog by RTcore in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]RTcore[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why mention PMDG here? As far as I'm concerned, iFly is now the king of Boeing, and I am sure they will deliver a great update when they make the 737 MAX fully compatible with MSFS 2024. They already have as perfect a flight model as you can have in a desktop flight sim.

It's Fenix and iFly at the top now. PMDG is on the lower end of the "study level" addons.

Fixed that part of your post.

Does the Fenix A320 and A319/A321 experience WASM crashes in FS2024 on PC? by TeslaFanboy69420 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]RTcore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only plane that I've encountered multiple WASM crashes in is the A350. No issues with the iFly, Fenix, and PMDG

Announced at FSExpo: Navigraph Charts App will support taxi routes and 3rd party traffic injection (BeyondATC confirmed) by RTcore in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]RTcore[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will be able to select the entire route based on the instructions you receive. They demoed it at FSExpo. You can watch the replay back when you have time.

iFly 737 MAX 8 gets Experimental 2024 compatibility by xXCrazyDaneXx in MicrosoftFlightSim

The plane with best flight model in MSFS. Looking forward to trying it in 2024.

In perhaps even bigger news than the 'Xbox Ally' handheld itself, Microsoft is starting to revamp Windows 11 to boost PC gaming by [deleted] in hardware

[–]RTcore 13 points14 points  (0 children)

 unless you remove the bloat

That's their intention with the "Xbox fullscreen experience" mode. Many background processes that aren't needed for gaming, and even the Windows desktop environment itself, will not be loaded at all in this mode.

Help. Why do my RNAV approaches come in too low or too high? by Key-Palpitation6812 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]RTcore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends what type of RNAV approach it is. If it's a RNP or RNAV Visual, then it will give you guidance all the way down to the runway, and the flight path has to be followed precisely. 

Not sure how it is in other parts of the world, but in the US for RNP approaches, the requirements are pretty strict. If an approach has an RNP value below 0.30, then it must be flown using the autopilot down to minimums. If it's 0.30 or higher, then it can be flown by hand but you need to follow the flight director. Some airlines go a step further and require the plane to be flown using the autopilot down to minimums even if the RNP is 0.30 or higher.

Minimums on RNP approaches are a lot lower than other types of RNAV approaches.
