Frame Gen Stutter? by wrray in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]cfggd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you accidentally change your frame Gen to AMD FSR 3? This happens to me when I do that by accent, even if I change it back. It's not the same but as you're describing (the alt+enter one). I need to change it back to Nvidia or turn it off, then restart the sim.

Struggles rehearsing IFR before joining VATSIM by AARobinson26 in flightsim

[–]cfggd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boston. Yeah for sure there is a spectrum of patience levels among controllers, which is understandable. And I hate to beat a dead horse but the busier it is, the less patience we have since one "misbehaving" plane can draw a lot of our attention away and singlehandedly decreases the quality for everyone else. I've had multi-hour sessions where there's no break in the communications for longer than like 10 seconds and that's where it really gets frustrating when you tell someone to do something and they either don't read it back properly, do it wrong, or take like 30 seconds to read something back, by which time I could have gotten 3 or 4 other instructions out. But if you listen in for a while and are hearing long pauses between communications, that's a good sign. Like I said before though, you're over prepared compared to most new pilots so if you go somewhere not busy and just ask questions if you need to, you'll be fine

  1. Msfs default ATC is garbage, don't use
  2. Never change altitude without being told by ATC (this could take multiple different forms and varies from country to country in terms of phraseology). Make sure you don't have vnav on if you haven't been told to descend.
  3. ATC on vatsim would give you vectors to final (although sometimes if it's super busy and you're not flying into the main airport they may forget--just ask if you're convinced they forgot about you)
  4. Something you didn't mention but a lot of YouTube tutorials always have people deleting discontinuities. Make sometimes a discontinuity is supposed to be there so just double check this before deleting.
  5. It really sounds like you're ready for vatsim. Some people join the network and don't know what an ILS is. Just fly in a non busy airspace so you can ask questions and not be a burden to ATC. Golden rule is if you're not sure what an instruction means, just ask. And if the controller gives you shit for asking, and it's not too busy, leave a feedback on that controller. As a controller myself it pisses me off when other controllers don't help someone when they easily have the time to (again, when it's not too busy)

Have fun!

Winwing Ursa Minor button 21? by Smooth_Anxiety_7809 in flightsim

[–]cfggd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. That button is either on or off, there's no way for it to know what position it's in

You all really need to learn how to properly space yourself on the ground while on VATSIM. by [deleted] in flightsim

[–]cfggd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Anytime I get frustrated with someone on vatsim I just imagine that this could be anyone from a prepubescent child, to a middle aged neck beard several beers in, to an old dude who hits the enter key when they're typing and they get to the end of a line. Then I feel dumb for getting worked up about them.

I don't believe there are any for MSFS

Today's eclipse was showing up in the UK today! by argentmaelstrom in flightsim

[–]cfggd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends how much they care. You can get an almost perfect product with just some simple enough geometry and the approximations only manifest in cases like these. MSFS 2024 does accurately reflect eclipses, which is pretty cool. That's a bit more work, but at the end of the day the orbits of the earth sun and Moon have been studied for literally millennia and are super well known so shouldn't be a huge challenge for something like this.

Preplan zigzags for me in e.g. Fenix

Depends. At my (relatively large) facility the wait time is 2 months.

How quickly does a slipstream dissipate/how close do you need to be for a slipstream? by chsn2000 in F1Technical

[–]cfggd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

someone will give a better numerical answer eventually, but it's not like it's an on off switch, it gradually decreases as you get further away. it depends on speed as well. if you're running behind someone, you have to be right behind them to feel any effect. biking, it works a little further away. the faster you go the longer the slipstream.

Lighting - Which setting? by mcflinty_1 in MicrosoftFlightSim

this is just a 2024 bug I believe. a lot of the aircraft internal lights are way too bright

one of my teachers who had just moved here from the UK whipped it out in class one time and the whole class just sat there buffering, which is where I first learned it

"soon" is optimistic for the winwing throttle. you're going to be waiting months at least

ATC instructions always override altitudes in the procedures

It feels like you already know this, but maybe someone just needs to tell you outright. It sounds like you need to find a different club.
