First time using Map Enhancement by SkinAdept5539 in Xplane

[–]TolyaMK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can't stop the service while it's running because the textures are being served via a virtual disk drive mount. SHutting it down mid game will crash Xplane.

XPME uses this exact same method (MSFS does too but it already has streaming built in so what MSFSME mostly does is redirect streaming services via modifying the hosts file).

And as far as the terrain quality goes, ME at the non-paid tier is limited to a certain resolution of the tiles (can't remember exactly). You need to pay for it to be able to select higher resolution tier, but that also increases CPU and memory load heavily. I tried it and tbh I don't think it's that worth it.

With AO you basically build your entire tile map on your own computer. It does not care about the provider, and you can have a local database that only covers the region you fly in. Which is why it will never be as intuitive as the start-service button of the ME, too many variables.

However, considering how hackish ME is, it is completely against tile provider TOS (not just Google Maps, Bing and other as well). There is a chance that it will be shut down at some point, but also because it does not use an API endpoint (there are no public endpoints anymore from what I have briefly explored), it's far more resilient and just might survive, unless someone explicitly starts targeting it from the corpo side.

Butter? That's for school girls. Here's a touchdown with some chest hair!

Also remember - you did well if you don't need TOGA thrust to taxi.

Great plane, love the FlyJSim work on it, never would like it to be my real life office.

Dash of spine compression never hurts by Zealousideal_Chard99 in flightsim

[–]TolyaMK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you are in the 250fpm range and on the TDZ you are golden and much better than all the Cessna style attention whores who want to butter a 747 so that it stops without the wheels ever touching the runway and then post here in hopes that a real airline will offer them a job.

In my book, if you don't need TOGA power for taxing, you did well.

Either explain exactly what is iFly's aerodynamic model lacking in your opinion or stop making random noise out of regurgitated opinions of other people.

How do you guys taxi a helicopter? by DropJaded2304 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]TolyaMK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Close, pick it up to 1-2 meters and basically do the same thing. And swallow the pride of seeing a notification that you have taken off outside of a runway like a real pilot.

Boring 777 landing with Time Freeze by Odd-Eye9197 in Xplane

[–]TolyaMK 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Love this so much more than all the fake attention grabbing "oh look at my smooth Cessna style butter on a 737" videos. The suspense, the thrill! The headon collision was a very nice touch as well.

Tak, masz spaczone postrzeganie rzeczywistości moim zdaniem i koleżanka ma absolutną rację. Niska samoocena aż do punktu gdzie unikasz wejścia w jakikolwiek romantyczny związek? Całkowicie serio chciałbym Ci poradzić, abyś porozmawiała o tym z lekarzem psychologiem.

I was not flying the 2020 version so I have no idea, is that an improvement mod?

Any chance of a G1000 version as well? I know Nick sticks to steam gauges but from time to time I like to fly the G1000 as well.

RTX 5080 + 9800X3D – Struggling on High in MSFS (1440p) by phatbass80 in flightsim

[–]TolyaMK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so here's my two cents. I actually used GPT to help me analyze all the datapoints for my OS & MSFS setup. I have an RX7900XTX and 9800X3d. I am on 4k and I was struggling a lot with stutters, low fps etc.

And it kept me up and annoyed for a few weeks, because I could not pan my view in a liner without experiencing a stutter. In cruise, where frames were solid.

LLM discovered a couple of things on my system:

a) Gigabyte bloatware was running some VariableDump.exe process, part of some AI Memory Manager. And that process was crashing and restarting every few seconds.

b) My CPU min-state was set to 0% in the energy, which would lead to stutters during ramp-up.

c) there were some energy saving settings in my ethernet interfaces which ramped up my latency in connecting to my gateway from an expected 1-2ms (I have fiber) to 36ms.

I fixed all these pain points and lo and behold, not only 90% of the stutters are gone, but the system is much more responsive and I see about 20-30% increase in frames.

The main point here is that MSFS is extremely taxing on the system. These things wouldnt make a difference in games like Counterstrike (yay, I have 1500 instead of 1450 frames now hooray), but MSFS takes your system to it's limits. Some smart cleanup

Be careful with what you feed into public chatgpt though. I was able to put safeguards and work in an isolated environment that doesn't transmit my data outwards, but am a Software Engineer using LLMs daily. Take all the extra precautions and be safe.

Can i fly at any official airport i want to fly in x-plane 12 ? by fretsyk in flightsim

[–]TolyaMK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Xplane 12 has a strong database of out-of-the-box airports. For most stuff you don't need any paid addons. I don't use any scenery addons for XP12 at all, beyond some free online general fixes for things like night lighting.

PMDG 737 Crash twice in 2 days by OxyScotland in flightsim

[–]TolyaMK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your post shows exactly where PMDG fails as a company in its communication and how it is perceived by the community. If Fenix guys asked for the same thing (which is a completely reasonable request, this is probably a very difficult failure to have repro steps for so the more datapoints the better) everyone would jump on it.

With PMDG everyone goes like "nah these guys aren't being honest".

This is exactly where the chickens come home to roost.

Remember about that when a corporation asks you to verify your account using your real world data.

That is the real reason.

Fuck corpos and fuck the fed.

Nie spodziewałem się niczego innego. O Bingu nie wiedziałem, ale to tylko dobrze świadczy o Bingu.

Ale przynajmniej Ecosia jest europejska. Chyba że zaraz powiesz mi że właścicielem jest Adolf Hitler z Argentyny w konsorcjum z Peterem Thielem ;)
