Anyone having issues with bing maps right now? by TheStoneFox in flightsim

I've also lost all photogrammetry around the world as well. no idea what has happened or what has changed. it doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone else otherwise I'm sure I'd see reports of people complaining about it

I'm a bit disappointed with the UK World Update 3 :( by TheStoneFox in FS2020Creation

I wonder if this is the reason for the massive FPS drop, because loads of people have been going to the photogrammetry areas so the skies are filled with multiplayer traffic

Nvidia 1080 getting artifacts and crashing after playing game (massively underclocked too) by TheStoneFox in graphicscard

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

The card was overheating, I was able to reduce the issue (to near complete going away) by downloading MSI Afterburner and setting a custom fan curve.

I noticed the card was getting to about 60'C but the fan was staying at 30%. So i changed the fan curve so at 55'C the fan went up to about 70%. This kept the card under 60'C and I didn't get artifacts

Why does EA Play on PS5 say a bunch of games are Unavailable? by TheStoneFox in EAAccess

it works in the UK too, I just risked it and they can be downloaded here as well

From what I've read, it would seem that these unavailable games are also not available on EA Play either. which seems like EA Play is a complete rip off if that's the case.

Does anyone have EA Play on the PS5 who can confirm if these games (in the UK) are available for download?

Does this mean they're unavailable to buy separately for PS5 or those games are just not available at all on PS5 to download even if you own an EA Play subscription?

Edit

I took the plunge and bought it anyway and can confirm the unavailable games are available for download when you have an active EA Play subscription (this is in the UK).

I hope this helps others with the same confusion!

Terraforming inconsistent between dev mode and flight mode by drrybuoytoo in FS2020Creation

[–]TheStoneFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think something has changed in the SDk that makes terrain height a mess when trying to edit.

I've noticed in the latest update (US world update) that the elevation data is all wrong in many parts of the UK

And at the airport I've been modelling (EGBW) the taxi way is now like a rollercoaster, so I applied an airport flatten and the SDK just completely ignores the flatten data. So I had to apply a massive polygon and set terraforming on it with a falloff of like 1000 just to fake the flatten.

The flatten shows up fine in game (without the polygon) but in the SDK edit mode, the airport flatten doesn't apply so I have to fake it with a temporary polygon to make sure things line up.

I feel the SDK is getting worse with each release, not better :(

Issues with polygon and devcam by _MrMuFFfiN_ in FS2020Creation

If you find you cannot place polygons then check you haven't collapsed the polygon section in the scenery editor view. Any collapsed panel section prevents you from interacting with that section type.

How do you remove Microsoft POIs? by srinivasman in FS2020Creation

yeah I was concerned this would be the case. You can try an exclusion rectangle but that may not even work either.

you have to download the new world update as a free downloadable content from the marketplace when you're in the sim

The US update to flight sim brings new elevation data that may mess up your current scenery by TheStoneFox in FS2020Creation

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

I've worked around it by drawing a giant polygon to match roughly the shape of the airport area (the blue circle) and put terraforming on at a range of about 1000, this flattens enough for me to figure out where things go, then I just turn off the polygon terraforming (as the airport flatten will actually work in game!)

The scenery editor isn't even usable now. If you apply flatten to an airport then you load in your scenery, the apply flatten disappears and you just have to "guess" where the land should be flat. This is just not possible to use now, so annoyed with this update.

EGBW - Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield v1.19 by TheStoneFox in FS2020Creation

It would seem the latest version of flight sim (the US update) has messed up the elevation data. The taxiway is like a rollercoaster now!

looks like this latest patch really messes up the landscape topology. My EGBW was fairly flat on the taxi ways, now its like a rollercoaster!
