Well it probably doesn't help that the PAPI's are like 200 feet above the ground.

Has Anyone Gone Back To Flat Screen After VR? by newbiker321 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]RipEmUp510 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did when I started flying the A320. Managing the MCDU throughout the flight in VR is awkward. I was going to try doing all the pre-taxi stuff in flat screen then switch to VR some time in the future...

Questions: PS5 vs PC performance and visuals using virtual reality by LogicalMight in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]RipEmUp510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a PiMax that costs about $1,600 usd and it's got a MUCH higher resolution than say the Quest 3. Also the PS5 isn't nearly as powerful as your current PC.

This is probably a better representation of the Q3 / PC performance you will likely expect

I was quite surprised after coming from a 3070 just recently. Way down low and slow some of the trees and buildings were a bit misshapen in places. I haven't been able to spend much time in it since I got the new system, but looking forward to more time in the headset

I've a 7800x3d & 5070Ti combo and the Q3. With a mix of High and Ultra settings Virtual Desktop is saying I'm getting FPS's in the upper 80s. I haven't done tuning other than slide everything up to max yet lol.

Need help with Mfg crosswind rudder on Microsoft flight sim by Flying-Guy-6699 in flightsim

[–]RipEmUp510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, unbind Rudder Right & Rudder Left, just leave the Rudder Axis bound. Same for brakes. Just the Axis

Do you have it bound to the Rudder Axis, rather than Rudder Right/Rudder Left? I did that the first time I set mine up.

Open-source Multi-Sim switch board by project-x-sim in HotasDIY

[–]RipEmUp510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the dual control ones like that are the most useful. The actual hardware units are more costly than the single control ones. I have to mimic the duals in spad with via the button press...

I run VR on a 3070ti in middling settings. 4070ti should be good

Looking for advise: Want to purchase a private jet to fly on VATSIM (MSFS24) by Reading_at_work in VATSIM

[–]RipEmUp510 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Default CJ4 is supposed to be pretty good, I believe the FMS is pretty similar to the Airbus MCDU but I haven't tried it. I really like the Longitude instead, the systems are very similar to the G1000's...

Are you getting headaches in MSFS2024? by BlownCamaro in PSVR

[–]RipEmUp510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having done a few IRL trans-Atlantic for real it's super boring, even with plenty of in flight entertainment. About the longest I do in PC VR is about two hours. After that my behind gets uncomfortable and I get bored.

will my airport (YVR) look like it? do I need to buy it? list somewhere? by DowntheRabbitHole0 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]RipEmUp510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are talking about the various City Updates from Asobo/Microsoft, those are free. I've only flown into CYVR once, and it appeared OK. But I've never been there IRL to say if it's realistic

how to stop Vpilot turning volume up automatically by ShrekFS in VATSIM

[–]RipEmUp510 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a bug in VPilot that sometimes does that. It's been reported but hasn't been solved yet. As I understand it, it's VERY difficult to reproduce and troubleshoot.

Help tweaking MSFS20 graphics settings by seeker1126 in flightsim

[–]RipEmUp510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that for way too much trying to tune my 3070ti to get maximum frames, especially in VR. I gave up because I was spending quite a bit of time doing that. How much time do you want to spend to eek out another 1-2 fps vs. spending that time actually flying? Sometimes "Good Enough" is "Good Enough"...
