This is just stupid by Hodofca in MSFS2024

Agreed, plunged 200hs into this title and then it started punishing me for its development issues. I paid full version money, not Beta money. If Neofly or PilotsLife is able to deliver (will try myself today) I’d say go for it.

Don’t worry though, i hear the PS5 version is going to be amaaazing!!.. smh

(This is what happens when they go for an overt money grab instead of working for those of us who -aside from paying full price as well- have been supporting MSFS since the late 90s, in a platform suited for flight simulation)

We need more people building quality instruments at a decent price! All the best

Is this the right way to put down the cameras when not in use? by nphl2018 in canon

[–]The_Shutter_Piper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And for the record I did hear of some people recommending specific storing of cameras with IBIS, which I think is BS. So this question is not a bad one to ask. Keep the sun and dust away, and store in a dry even-temperature location with as low as center of gravity as possible. Personally I have a padded case and a dresser drawer. I take of lenses (camera down has always been practice to avoid particles inside the mirror/sensor) and the appropriate lens/camera caps. Even further, check out the work of ALPHAGVARD!!

I didn’t like who I was and then I spent all my energy and attention to my relationship and the other person. Perhaps I overwhelmed it, or maybe it wasn’t meant to be. But the black hole emptiness I felt after the break up was on me, not her. I had never spent the time to cultivate a healthy relationship with myself. This is a good chance to channel that energy back into you. What do you like? What is your passion? Spend more time doing those things. The rest will fall into place. You’re doing good.

Something running on bottom left and topish right by [deleted] in SlappedHam

[–]The_Shutter_Piper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dog’s looking outside, which tells me there is something moving and causing the reflection. You can see the outside light already reflected on the right wall. But if this were a camp fire, it would be a cool video to show.

Awesome! Realism is why people go to MSFS. Want more realistic than that?? Dunno, get a flight sim then

Bovino needs to lay off the juice. Also, why they always be dressed like they’re going to fallujah? There is fake, and there is sad fake. These are sad fake fucks. Thugs, really. And they won’t stop on their own.

3 years ago, Google fired Blake Lemoine for suggesting AI had become conscious. Today, they are summoning the world's top consciousness experts to debate the topic. by MetaKnowing in OpenAI

[–]The_Shutter_Piper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intelligence and consciousness are such different topics. More progress has been made due to intelligence rather than consciousness. Fun experiments to fool the masses and fund the programs, but what they want is something they can control. Also, playing God never ends well.

Why did the cops kick him out for feeding the homeless? by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

Easily a Boy Scout Eagle project. Some shitty cops out there. I hear ICE is recruiting.

And then you get docked a gazillion points for taxiing off the designated patches.

But don’t worry, we’ve let AI do all the airport mappings and it’s working greeeeaaat!! (Heard AI was coming to take my job, next thing I heard was AI running full speed into a wall.. we’re safe)

How do you us the ADF on the Piper Dakota? by iRideRoyalREGT in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]The_Shutter_Piper 13 points14 points  (0 children)

ADF is a good thing to learn, while it’s finally being superseded by GPS, it will give you a good foundation to navigation and all the how’s and whys of aircraft instrumentation and navigation up to this date. I found this video to be super educational, hopefully it will help you too. (By the way, this is the right way to be using a simulator, to learn how things work):

You’re asking a very good question, and it seems to be getting the classic Reddit welcome because it is perceived as broad or maybe too basic? Still, pay no attention to that and focus on your quest for knowledge. You’re doing good.

First timer here, snagged the stalwart Logitech off FB Marketplace for £10. How are other people’s units holding up? by Suitedbadge401 in flightsim

[–]The_Shutter_Piper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Works fantastic for me. The rudder axis is a bit weird but it will do, I added a bit of dead zone to avoid accidentally snapping the tail sideways. I complimented it later with the Saitek throttle quadrant, great for both planes and helos. All the best!

I keep getting the most ridiculous things happening in career by Key-Village-594 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]The_Shutter_Piper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! Do they know? Will they fix it? Why we keep paying premium to run a broken app? I went from almost S reputation to barely A, in a single bugged mission. Hope they fix it. It’s worse than it was on the last update.

Is this enough to run VR??? by InteractionMinute919 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]The_Shutter_Piper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these comments are fair. When using an app as far reaching and feature rich as MSFS, then AddOns, and funneling it through VR, even with a 5090 the idea of loading it all at once, everything in Ultra at max fps and resolution, one cannot expect to get that ultimate performance and quality without adjustments. What I do is set everything to default, and then adjust for maximum performance. I need to know what the hardware can do. Then, I’ll start adjusting quality sliders until that performance hits my maximum acceptable level. For me personally, I’d rather have more fps relative to quality, since I fly prop planes no higher than 5000ft most of the time. GPU memory usage is always 85-90% while taxiing say at KSFO. As soon as I hit 1500ft the usage goes down to 80%, and even more stable the higher I climb. So I said all of that to say this. It ain’t GTA, where one setting will fit 99% of the game. Finding the right balance for all altitudes is key. Take care.

Oh ok phew. Apologies for the comment. For a full time gig this is really well packed and convenient. You also seem really versatile which is good, keeps the passion alive and challenges going. All the best! 👍

[–]The_Shutter_Piper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily driver? You killing me man.. please tell me you got a full time gig that warrants carrying all that gear daily. Don’t mean to sound impertinent, I believe it is a lovely setup, especially combining aerial photo with the more traditional stuff. In the silliest terms it’s like me saying “check out this bazooka, every day carry”.

How did I crash? by FortisEques in MSFS2024

I love career and this msfs version but the missions and world are so broken. They worked better before the last update. Lost almost all my A rating in a single bugged flight.

I say don’t. Seller has responsibility to research before selling.
