 I've encountered like half a dozen of these now.  Starting to think this photogrammetry stuff was a bad crutch to fall back on.

Is there a way to change aircraft mid-flight as you could in older versions of FS? I acknowledge that going from a 747 to the A5 is a good way to rip your wings off, but it'd be kind of nice to hop from the 152 to a Cub without having to completely reload.

I think F11 is bound to change plane.

Should be here Monday. I just wanted to get some extra functionality out of my second monitor. But now that I can pull out that second display by the copilot, I can at least see my RPMs more easily at least.

Is the “jump to” location bugged? Twice now I’ve had an IFR flight in the TBM where I’ve taken off and then skipped to approach at my destination only to spawn back in the aircraft with oil pressure warnings blaring and my engine cutting out

Less Fat Luke posted:I think F11 is bound to change plane. That doesn't seem to work. As far as I can tell, you need to be in developer mode to access the aircraft swap menu, and there's still some bugs since it'll occasionally crash for no apparent reason, or just load part of the model or something.

the funny thing about not being able to afford to upgrade my PC hardware to run MSFS at max settings right now is that if I hadn't spent hundreds of bucks on FSX and P3D addons over the years I'd have more than enough, and a significant portion of that went into poo poo like OrbX terrain upgrades to make those sims merely look significantly worse than this one does, or ActiveSky to get a worse live weather system than this has.Pham Nuwen posted:Trip report from lunch: found Mount Rushmore, but it's just a bare rock hill above a visitor center / viewing area. as it should be

This game was so pretty I ended up buying it. Woe unto those who decide to bide passage on my wind stallion. Not that interesting of a screenshot, flying over Point Defiance, Tacoma WA on my way to make a spectacularly horrid landing at KBFI. The last 3 minutes of the landing was basically dropping from 9000 to 2000 feet, over speeding like crazy into final approach and finally skidding off the runway and stopping short of plowing into a hangar. Technically it was a "successful" landing  I initially took off from KSEA, swung out over the Hood Canal, then came back. On final to KBFI frame rates started to chug hard. I mean I know it's drawing a lot more poo poo at low altitudes but why was my take off so silky smooth?

I am still clinging to just flying the 152 around because I actually understand what the instruments and levers are doing, mostly, while anything more advanced is just 
to my eyes right now..
It's an empty concrete pad. Baseball field's good, hockey arena's good, buildings around it are all good, but the only skyscraper, and the best single possible visual reference for flying VFR within 10 miles of the city, is just not there. Alas. Someday!

Eagle-eyed viewers will notice that I did in fact not set a good trim before entering drone view (otherwise I think this clip shows off both strengths and limitations of the engine). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St-A2gxscz8 Also, hot tip for capture: if you've got pop-out stuff active on other monitors you might end up with an entirely useless clip that flickers between avionics and the main screen the whole time. Taintrunner posted:I'd much rather a system to report these errors/bugs so they can fix them in exchange for FSbux to buy DLC or whatever because you can't go five minutes without running into them, and some are a lot worse than others I've flown hours without being bothered by a few bugs here and there, and a lot of them just entertain me. More than that, though, I've seen sights so much more beautiful than I ever did in X-Plane, and the freedom to explore is astounding. In conclusion: c'mon man

Was playing with this yesterday and it was 'good enough' at projecting a second screen to my dirty old android tablet over wifi. Then I noticed it was using 10% CPU and I don't think it would be wise to cook it any further during fly

It hasn't happened after the first time and I just assumed it was because my hardware throttle was set to idle when I did the jump.

This is awesome, thank you. I don't have the game but everything I've seen makes it look like a huge leap forward in gaming, being able to explore the world and sight-see like never before.

Funso Banjo posted:You’re flying at about 200 feet, what do you expect it to look like. There are lots of little things that could be fixed en-mass, such as off-angled roads on mountains (they already have the algorithm determine where a road is, for traffic generating purposes), that they could easily fix. They could add a generic waterfall graphic that generates for rivers steeper than a certain angle, they could add more than 2 types of trees (and reduce generated tree size by 1/2 - though I suspect that large tree sizes are more about reducing the number of models to achieve dense forests). Game looks great tho.

Danimo posted:South Texas doesn't have the most interesting terrain but the rural areas north and west of CRP have lots of wind turbines and they are modeled and work in MFS2020. Very cool to fly over, they make the world feel real much more than the fake traffic. I was just going to post how surprised I was at the accurate modeling of wind turbines in my area too. Enjoying a short flight, got about 3 minutes from landing at my destination, game crashed to desktop. First time  So, couple of questions and I apologize if I simply missed it: When using live weather, how do you see what the current conditions are for a spot? IE temp, visibility, etc? Also, when in showcase camera how do you actually take a screenshot?

Are the tropical storms in-game as part of live weather? Or any other fun spots to fly through weather wise? Low heavy cloud formations, fogs? Thunderstorms?

For a filthy casual, how much difference do the pedals on a T.16000m make? I'm tempted, but it doesn't seem worth the extra $100 when I can just bind them to the paddle on the throttle.

I'm thinking I might plug in my driving force GT and then attach the racing pedals to that if I can assign them in the game. Going to have so much plastic all around my desk.

The fact that you can find a 1:1 recreation of Groverhaus before Beckingham Palace should probably be a warning sign.

What is the best way to take pretty screenshots. I have a capture program but it doesn't exactly make it easy or hide the ui or anything. I just want to pause flying for a sec, position the camera, take a pretty shot, keep flying.

I use the nVidia overlay tool and yeah the active pause is the correct way to freeze your plane and fly around it. Just don't pause with the nose pointed down and aircraft damage turned on, because the airspeed will keep increasing even though you aren't moving, and after a few seconds the wings will rip off.
