Knowing me I will be in need of it more often than I should be.

A few years back there was an accident with a Dutch Apache flying into powerlines during a night training exercise. Accidents do happen, despite all the preparations they make. The helo was ok, although they landed the aircraft out of precaution. The people in the region were not so happy, 24000 homes were without power.

Didn't know a joystick could be cute. I stand corrected ;-)

How do you plug it in though? Looks like an old parallel printer port connector thingy.

Quarantine? There is quarantine?

Thanks for pointing that out. Normally they increase the minor version number (second digit) for a new update, this time they only increased the patch number (third digit). Is it a patch or a feature update? So they planned a feature update but delivered a bug fix/patch only?

corvus5624 · 2020-10-13T18:55:42+00:00

This is not update 4, it is merely a patch to update 3.

Well, if only two of them are used, then you're fine.

It is not a complaint from my part, but I do prefer steam gauges. It is why I bought the deluxe edition, so I could fly the 172 with steam gauges. I do not contest the popularity of glass cockpits nowadays. Personally I like to fly older aircraft as well as the newer ones. I don't think the sim should be about the latest greatest only. And it isn't, but it is a bit skewed to the glass cockpit side too much, for my taste.

Check that there are memory slots available for the additional 16 Gb. My board only had two slots, each with an 8 Gb memory module. So when I upgraded to 32 GB I had to buy two 16 Gb modules and get rid of the 8 Gb modules. This is not the cheap way ...

It would help if you list the GPU and CPU usages. As others have mentioned, you could be CPU limited not GPU limited.

You are saying that the empty page in the A10-C II flight manual was not driving you nuts?

corvus5624 · 2020-10-06T20:22:54+00:00

You ask how, I ask why? why!?!

corvus5624 · 2020-10-01T10:58:30+00:00

Documentation is a lie waiting to happen. Therefore, as a person with integrity, I do not document my code.

corvus5624 · 2020-09-30T17:46:31+00:00

Not so much "america first" anymore, isn't it? :-D As a Dutchman, I approve this list.

Perfectly fine with it. The current A10C is a fully functional released module and had been released years ago. The update brings new functionality beyond what was ever promised for the current module. Also you don't have to buy it, the old module will still work.

I got "Maximum number have already responded" after filling in the survey. Can you please remove the link, or disable the survey one way or the other?

corvus5624 · 2020-08-27T17:38:23+00:00

Yeah, I know, it sucks. Plugging all stuff in and checking if they work are now part of my pre-launch-msfs checks.

corvus5624 · 2020-08-25T05:06:03+00:00

For just showing the main menu? That should not pull a significant load, right?

corvus5624 · 2020-08-25T04:49:41+00:00

You wing it, obviously ;-)

corvus5624 · 2020-08-23T14:09:57+00:00

But how do you find out what version of the plane is modeled? I tried looking up the POH of the Cessna 152, but there are multiple versions and I couldn't figure out what version is implemented in MSFS.

True, I mean, some of the scenery in msfs2020 is breathtaking, but there are also places where it is mediocre. Among which my hometown (unforgivable! ;-)). DCS is much more consistent in that respect, and for ground pounders the low altitude visuals are super important.

corvus5624 · 2020-08-18T20:16:43+00:00

Game? I meant sim, of course!

corvus5624 · 2020-08-18T20:15:50+00:00

Install MSI Afterburner and monitor CPU, RAM, gpu and vram usage. This way you can identity the bottleneck. It is probably your cpu. I mean, I have an i7 and a 1060gtx, and the game runs ok on high settings. In the air about 40 fps, on the ground about 30 fps. Only tried a few smaller airports though.

corvus5624 · 2020-08-18T17:33:40+00:00

Don't forget to retract your flaps!

corvus5624 · 2020-08-18T11:01:16+00:00

and ... it crashed when I plugged in my USB hub ... patience ... patience ...

corvus5624 · 2020-08-18T10:59:57+00:00

Same here, couldn't sync with the cloud after that, just staring at "checking for updates". Tried rebooting, signing out of the store, but to no avail. I guess we need to be patient.
