Oh hell, actually putting the trim wheel on an axis on one of the throttle wheels made a world of difference. So much better than pawing at buttons while trying to hold things steady.Sapozhnik posted:Is there a quick rundown on how fuel mixture settings are supposed to be set in various circumstances I would also like to know this.

I took off in a 172 from the airport I got my PPL at. Flew over and saw my parent's house and my old high school. The house was mostly hidden in the trees as I expected but I could see my mom's garden and the cars in the driveway. The school was almost perfect. They even had the odd architecture rendered correctly. I'm going to need to fiddle with the controls and options. I started at -40% controller sensitivity and even that was too much. Then I need to memorize the millions of controls.

Pretty cool! Performance is pretty good on my machine. Still want invisible cockpit/wonder woman mode though.

Phoenix (and the surrounding area) is hilariously hosed. I’ve never seen so many trees in this city. And yet, here we are. Also I tried to do a road landing and apparently there’s giant bumps in the road I tripped over and was sent flying. Hilarious.

Flight Sim seems to really hate me using my KVM. Every time I switch over to my work computer it crashes, sometimes the window is still there when I switch back, sometimes its just gone. Guess there's no putting a flight on autopilot and switching over to get some work done today. Heaven forbid I actually do work all day.

Finally got this working. Took a quick flight around DC and noticed that the Capitol Building is just a regular office building. Immersion ruined, 0/10. But seriously, this game looks loving amazing and I'm excited to see where it goes from here. Now to spend my work day wanting to play the game as well as debating if I buy the $120 version or not.

I grew up in bumfuck nowhere USA and I just found my house in the game. It's there. Wow. Also... Nybble posted:How are folks doing the “walk around” drone or freelook? I wanted to see my parents’ house up close, but wasn’t sure how to pause my plane and leave it like I’ve seen in folks videos. 2nding this. How do you do the detached drone thing?

On the top menu there's a camera option, click on that and then there's three options: cockpit, external and showcace. showcase is drone mode. if you're using an xbox controller everything will already be mapped for controlling the drone cam but other controllers you might have to gently caress about binding poo poo first. also piss about with the drone speed setting to make it doot about faster or slower.

I got stuck in a cockpit camera mode where I couldn't interact with any instruments using my mouse. I assume I just pressed a button that kicked me out of interact mode but couldn't figure out how to go back to normal no matter what I tried. Am I just an idiot or did I maybe hit a bug?

Surprised how choppy this runs on my computer, even on medium settings. I have a GTX 1080, i5-2500k, 16GB RAM, and it's running on an SSD. Thinking of upgrading my CPU/MB/RAM since it's like 9 years old at this point. Would a Ryzen 7 3700X with 64GB DDR4 be a meaningful improvement or is there a better option?

Did you grab the latest nVidia drivers that have MSFS optimisations? I've heard reports that most people see no difference but a few who were getting unexpectedly choppier performance than they should've got a boost. Although that said, an i5-2500k is below minimum specs. Well too old.

It’s so good to see the range of emotions and reactions of playing flight sim in so many new people. I hope everyone sticks with it past the novelty of flying over their house.

so I noticed if you are having trouble turning down your res from 1440p to 1080p and the game looks like its running in 480 p as a response that if you change your desktop resolution to 1080 p as well it clears up the issue. I said come in! posted:System spec bragging time; i7-8700K, 16GB RAM, RTX 2070, high settings and 60fps.  try that here and see if you still get 60 fps ethanol fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Aug 18, 2020 |

I've had my ram usage for the game only peak at about 23 gb on ultra, so like 29 gb total used out of my 32 gb but i also had a netflix tab open. On 'high end' settings one rung below ultra i've seen 17 gb of ram used by the game. 9900k peaks at about 50-70% sometimes and then my 2080 is running around 80-100% on ultra (1440p). on ultra i get around 20-30 fps on the ground in kjfk, and it goes up to around 50-60 fps when im like 3000 agl. there are some bad hitches i cant account for in downtown low altitude nyc (i mean there are a lot of buildings, but i cant see which component on my pc is causing the hitch because it's not a fps drop, its a stutter and nothing seems to be going to 100%, netflix off of course)

I just fired up the final version the first time and am letting it download poo poo. So much for grandfathering the beta content, because it's redownloading everything. I wonder how late they did the cut-off for the DVD release.

To add to this if you're using a joystick like me you have to use the numpad arrows to swing the camera around, WASD moves, and I think R/F is increase/decrease altitude.

lobsterminator posted:I'm not 100% but I think I did. The problem is that buttons are easy to translate, but what I would really need is to translate the faders and knobs into controller axes. And that is something Autohotkey didn't do IIRC. What api do these custom game control boards with sliders and stuff tend to use, anyway? Is there a common one, or do they all roll their own and then have to write per-software hookups?
