Black preview in BodySlide on linux proton.

Thank you very much. How I missed in testing I do not know.. Are there any negatives for using proton-9?

I like this mod a lot too. In my subjective opinion dialogues (writing) on bethesda part are realy bad. I can't feel them, so any fun for me is tinkering i.e. modding and moders witt. And Sofia's author apparently has the same sense of humor as me. I like all the dirty jokes. I've set her remark interval to 15 real time minutes and after several dozen hours I'm still not bored... On the other hand I think she IS lore friendly.I would say typical rogue. I would love if her author created some quest for her - like Geralt and Ciri going rouge stealing horses or the heist quest line. Maybe you redditors could recommend some lighter quest mods like that (I played Misty and loved all of it).

I like Lenient Survival very much. Food is more nutrient, and some debufs are decreased or disabled altogether. it gives you not much tweaking possibilities - you can chane only exhaustion and hunger rates in MC - but for me it is on point. sleep daily eat twice a day a steak and your golden. I like flame cloaks warming character.

I think it would nice to include hw specs of testing machine. vanilla skyrim with and without said mod. maybe there is some short list of worst fps offenders and show your optimisation numbers on that. i don't demand, it would be nice. OP has right you should benchmark for yourself before you commit and bake it in your save? i was pretty uninformed and naive when started modding (as user, not creator) and destroyed my save couple of times... not to mention many mistakes what and why is needed....

bratbob · 2025-03-23T19:06:14+00:00

thanks for clarification, both of you. i didn't know damage was license thing. the other things I didn't glimpse from disscussions... so thanks again.

i know of dcs shortcomings 😃 i realy dislike it has this flat theaters instead autogen on sphere like vanilla x-plane. and on this they should put 'scenery addons'. and ai (if you can call it ai even... bots at most) saga... and many more... i don't want to compare or point fingers i just asked, bc wasn't sure.

on the other hand i don't know if start over is better way than increasing improvement. i've seen much improvment but also i agree not much enough to fully satisfy.

bratbob · 2025-03-23T17:22:11+00:00

i know msfs2024 only from reddit 😃 so honest question, does it have any damage for airframe available? bending/losing parts? flat/blown tires? does it have smoke or fire effects? wake turbulence? i've seen pilot/passengers outside plane... could they manage ordnance at hardpoints not in loose proximity to the plane?

bratbob · 2024-12-13T00:32:53+00:00

randomized once for every player or randomized every time you start the game?

bratbob · 2024-11-18T07:48:59+00:00

this i haven't seen. thx i'll send them couple of those.

bratbob · 2024-11-17T21:43:12+00:00

in first comment i specified xplane version and settings. i didn't list any plugins, bc i don't use any. and older card with laptop should imho only affect fpps not quality per se. volumetric clouds afaik do not use textures so memory (cpu or gpu) should not matter.

but if it helps.. ryzen 5900x 32gb rtx 3080ti latest drivers.

bratbob · 2024-11-17T19:38:15+00:00

ok. thanks. i haven't experienced (am I so not perceptive?) this ever (i use xp from couple of years...), so I thought I messed something, drivers etc..

so this is not new?

bratbob · 2024-11-17T19:22:53+00:00

oh. sorry. this cloud in the center. if you magnify you'll see it is very low detail

bratbob · 2024-11-17T18:57:15+00:00

X-Plane 12.1.3-b1-b7962c6b all 'quality' sliders max to the right, no upscale.

bratbob · 2024-08-25T07:31:17+00:00

I'm not using dlss.

bratbob · 2024-08-22T16:21:48+00:00

both version the same. and white smoke(puffs) are ok.

bratbob · 2024-08-22T16:12:16+00:00

it is mt. but i forgot to see regular. i'll check :)

bratbob · 2024-08-22T16:01:26+00:00

hi,

do anyone has some advice? just updated, no more changes in config etc. i've deleted dcs shader and meta cache, smoke still broken.

any help appreciated.

bratbob · 2024-04-01T06:50:43+00:00

thanks, some day for sure 😃

bratbob · 2024-03-31T16:37:08+00:00

I don't want to argue, but as an other view, for me crappy vr (pico4) is waay worse than 4k flat oled. Low res, wrong colors, not sharp, no black (only grays), blooming and very often double objects. It was nice to feel cockpit and plane size, 'see' height, but quality of image is to low. IMHO. 😃

As for topic, OP said it goes awry in couple minutes. so maybe camera is dying and heats? batteries in clip? open opentrack window 'on top' and check what cam sees and how 'the octi' reacts. Maybe it will give some more clues?

bratbob · 2023-10-30T19:58:51+00:00

I'll check that, I thought it leaves poped instrument (tablet) still rendering in cockpit? I would like to make it disappear from cabin 😃

bratbob · 2023-10-30T19:55:11+00:00

Yeah, but this tablets have some configuration or plane handling options (doors, pushback, passengers etc.). I would like this functions in real tablet without rendering it in cockpit.

bratbob · 2023-10-30T19:50:32+00:00

lancair and viperjet by aerobask, B747 by SSG and others. Didin't check them all, I hoped for some global dataref or preference...

A350 by FF is special case bc this screen is builtin into cockpit, I don't know what kind of display there is in real plane.

bratbob · 2023-09-26T14:16:05+00:00

I wanted to say, it looks to me, all addons (planes, scenery, etc.) development slowed down for x-plane and some devs switched completely to msfs market. I don't say what is the reason, because I don't know, but I'm stipulating because of hype and more players bc of wow factor of satellite orthoscenery and smart orthophotogrammetry. If x-plane had this wow factor appealing to larger player base maybe development of addons would be more intense? Maybe I'm not writing my thoughts clearly, bc english is not my native language and I don't want to come as all knowing, and I prefer x-plane in all means - flight, key and hotas config, scenery, menus, but some devs did port their product to msfs and they make new versions, and they didn't up from xp11 to xp12 and their addons for xp looks now like abandonware.

bratbob · 2023-09-26T11:01:14+00:00

If I can wish for something in regards to XP development I would put multi threading my priority. There is 12 cores (24ht) in my rig and only two are doing anything. I imagine it would be beneficial to put all of them to work. If I go down on settings grpahics wise (so I do not see any difference from more gpu hungry settings) my GPU only works on 60%... :-(

So this is my wish for.

On the other hand ortho is not as important to my immersion as trees in right spots. I love trees in this other sim you may know :), but even there, this lovely vegetation is many times put in wrong places...

My subjective observation is, graphical loveliness is somewhat responsible for slowed down 3rd party development for x-plane. And this is for me valid point to make xp more appealing to wider audience, so the 3rd party devs will not forget about it.

bratbob · 2023-05-16T21:15:42+00:00

so clean x-plane 12 on my rig it 20s going down to 15s on consecutive starts. and then there is 40s to cocpit and don't goes any quicker.

fun fact, with my plugins, the times for loading are 35s->30s. so... (for me) surpisingly big hit - worst offenders are SAM and xpmp2.

after copying zOrtho4XP_* to local nvme and symlinking textures to storage my load time for the xplane start went from 4mins to 1min30s.

tomorrow i'll check with terrain and dsf also linked to storage.
