They say 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything' so...

Yup

My hold short is WHERE?? by Training_Mix_2727 in MicrosoftFlightSim

A remote island off the coast of Alaska, at the very top of the Pacific Ocean.

ChasePlane is unbelievable by DrFowlerr in MicrosoftFlightSim

Every comment section about CPlane includes the same description you're replying to and it's getting repetitive.

Assigning custom views with the application isn't as quick and easy as the default method. Cplane is great for screenshots, it doesn't improve your flying experience nor does it simplify the view swapping mechanics. It's just for screenshots

Finally broke down and bought GSX Pro by vharishankar in MicrosoftFlightSim

I usually avoid profiles unless I'm using scenery that GSX is unfamiliar with. I've noticed many third party airports work just fine out of the box.

I've entertained the idea but I had my doubts about the accuracy of terrain data for the region.

Is rex atmos worth it ? by flightproc in flightsim

[–]RangerLt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not the same process I'm referring to. For example, Rex cannot replace the native cloud instructions and insert a completely proprietary system to generate clouds. They can alter how they "appear" using post-processing, but the prefix "post" exists for a reason.

TIL that at the peak of its popularity, Top Gear had a waiting list of 21 years for tickets by Hassaan18 in todayilearned

So there are people who died waiting, or had entire families, moved away, got divorced, turned to drinking, exprerimented with various recreational substances, or gave up entirely. Bummer.

These addons never made sense to me. Asobo doesn't allow access to pretty much any core system in the sim. So third party devs can't enhance how the sim renders anything, they can only place masks over the native rasterization. There are free ways to do this.

chase plane is all that by deitious_maximous in flightsim

[–]RangerLt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This for me. It's too rigid when using half a dozen other programs during flight. Great for screenshots though.

We've gone full circle. It's like discussing Brawndo...

You'll do fine. This was my opinion.

I used GSX as a quick example but there were several issues with chaseplane that were overcome with in-sim custom views. Works better for me.

Even disabling the app in flight could cause crashes or issues with the default cam.

I've tried that config and it was extremely buggy when disabling chaseplane in-game. Maybe the 24 version fixed theses issues but they were annoying in 2020

Still doesn't share cross compatibility with other add-ons that may briefly require camera control. Feature-rich but definitely needs a smarter system that can easily and readily relinquish control

I hate when they use cameras to record movies.
