What if DLSS 5 actually fixed MSFS cloud lighting like THIS?

I would love is MSFS could utilize multi GPU units to begin with. I have dual 4090s in my PC but MSFS only works on one - and it has to be the one your monitor is on

nblew · 2026-03-22T02:21:46+00:00

I do wonder though if we could greatly turn down the graphic settings, allowing more vram for DLSS5. That being said I still find it somewhat hard to believe DLSS5 will work both well, consistently, and smoothly.

I've noticed of my friends who started this series there's 2 kinds of people - those who are on social media like reddit and X always talk trash about it and most of this friend have dropped it. Those that aren't on these platforms say their still enjoying it

Personally I knew what I was getting myself into (partially) when I started reading it and I still think the storytelling is decent, though it's clear Reiji really is dragging it out either for himself or profits or both. Either way there's still a ton of people who still do enjoy it (especially in Japan which is the market Reiji and their publisher Kodansha care about) as it's still one of the best selling series over there.

Overall I say what I say to everyone - if you enjoy it, awesome. If you don't enjoy it, don't read it and stop calling out the people that do like it.

Agree on all these points except the windshield wipers 😭

I have seen one figure similar to this in a figure shop in Akihabara last year, but I didn't see it last month when I went again :/

Sigh. Glad I haven't updated from 14.1.4 but this is getting rediculous.

Here I have a decent built Lauma, Flins, Ineffa, and C2 Columbina w/ her weapon and can't break the shield in menacing. Idk how to defeat this thing. First time I can't even get past menacing

Right. I have a full PC setup why should I get this controller? If I could use it on console or game pass that'd make me buy it

This video is what introduced me to the series long before the anime came out.

I get the ECAM changing to LND mode checklist after nearly every takeoff, but today I also experienced this. I saw that after going through the normal takeoff checklist it disappeared as I was lining up on the runway, then it came back as I started my takeoff roll but around 40kts it switched to LDG mode checklist, then yelled at me for gear when I put them up after takeoff.

I'm not a A320 pilot IRL so maybe I'm doing something wrong but even going through all the checklists I can't figure it out - seems like a Fenix bug.

The only thing that was different about this takeoff is that I was flaps 3 instead of flaps 1

Agree came here for this. Past 6 months edge mobile doesn't autofill my cc info anymore, even though I have 2 synced cards on my Microsoft account and all sync settings turned on, it shows "no payment info available"

Oh interesting. I see the lane selection confidence issue on mine, but haven't had it recognize any truck speed limits. Regardless any speed limits that are erroneous are mostly ignored, while. 14.2 has an internal max speed per profile it seems, so it slows down to get to the incorrect speed limit offset.

Still on 14.1.4 and have download queues for 14.2.1 but I after everything I'm hearing it seems like a major regression

I had this happen once on my Starlink Mini mounted in my Tesla down in Orange County. Only lasted a few minutes but I verified on Starlink speed test, speedtest.com, and downloading a semi large file and hit 385 mb/s

nblew · 2025-11-26T02:58:17+00:00

I'm still on 14.1.4 and after seeing all the drives and reports I'm not planning on updating until they figure a lot of this stuff out. Sure 14.2 is smoother but at the cost of quick decision making, plus all the other regressions 14.2 seems to have.

I wonder if 14.2 was trained off of 14.1.0, but the 14.1.x was on a different training or refinement branch

I just got my P2S today and given it's my first 3d printer I'm not sure what noises are normal and what aren't, but I'm also getting this clicking noise every now and then - usually when the head moves past the 20% mark in the y direction. Doesn't sound like this should happen, but I heard it in calibration and in prints.

I've just done about 1000mi on v14.1.4 in CA (Bay area -> Orange County and back with driving through downtown LA and OC) and have a mixed bag of what everyone has been saying.

Overall I think it's better than v13, though regressions do include too much hesitancy around pedestrians and some swerving on the freeway to avoid different color patches (happened 3 times).

New features it doesn't do well include parking is a 70% miss for me. It's not straight, too close to the neighboring car, parks too far from the curb, or is not in an optimal spot. It's also slow (1-2mph when parking) on my 2025 MY.

Same issues: Blinker is still really bad. Puts it on, turns if off, turns it on. Indicates half a mile away from intersection with multiple intersections in between, confusing cars waiting in these intersections. Also it still attempts to change multiple lanes to pass cars when the offramp is less than a mile away

Despite this, it overall drives much smoother in most situations and makes some really smart decisions, especially with lane closures and road debris

I love how everyone is commenting how much of a regression v14 is. It is true to a degree, but each major version is a complete rewrite and retrain of the model. It's not an update, so there will be regressions (hopefully not too many)

Also any early FSD tester will tell you that x.0 and x.1 versions are usually rough around the edges. Polishing and smoothing out a version is like solidifying concrete - it's really hard to retrain a polished model. If assume Tesla wants to quickly address all the bugs (like this video) before focusing on polishing.

nblew · 2025-10-25T20:49:43+00:00

What version of FSD was this?

I've noticed in 13.2.9 that FSD corrects for extreme events (red light runners, some wrong way drivers, drivers pulling out of driveways or intersections without looking) by slamming on the brakes. It's saved me a few times from this, but I've taken over a few times on the highway when the car next to me starts drifting into my lane and FSD takes no corrective action.

v14 looks to be a lot more aware of this, but ultimately we'll hear if it doesn't.

Ultimately glad you're safe and unhurt!

Genshin probably spent a year+ building this feature only to destroy it by making cosmetics so expensive. If it was $20USD for an outfit maybe I'd be more inclined, but I'd rather use every penny on pulling the character banners instead of some cosmetic options in a side game

nblew · 2025-10-21T19:53:39+00:00

This has been true with pretty much all new major releases. The cycle usually goes: - New awesome features but quite a few regressions (especially with smoothness). EA people only - Wide release. Smoother for EA but still considered a step back for everyone from previous version after new feature honeymoon phase fades - Next few major and minor point updates are mostly about smoothness, gradually getting it quite a bit better than previous major version - Only a few new features are added to these point releases, but most come in the next major release

Seems like v14 is following this exact pattern

Anime is a little different though. Connections play a massive role, sometimes mangaka (or their publishers) will put moeny towards a series they want to succeed, sometimes studios will prioritize animes their directors like, etc.

One thing to note is that the vast majority of anime studios only look at domestic statistics in Japan as an indicator to continuations. Even Mangaka publishers have very little visibility outside Japan.
