It depends on if render scale measures percentage of pixels or percentage of lines. I don’t know how that slider operates. If it’s overall area/pixels, then yeah, it’s 25%, which means 40% of 4K is a drat lot of pixels. edit: this is a lovely new page, so check out this yak https://secure.simmarket.com/nemeth-designs-yakovlev-yak-18t-msfs.phtml

Render scale is measured in terms of lines. 40% of 4k is 1536 x 864.

I'm kind of melting into the sim right now. I start my weekend days by bringing an airbus into cruise. Then I set my watch and get back for the descent, more or less letting the sim dictate my timetables. Send help

I think I finally got my MSFS 2020 CTD issues under control. It appeared to be somewhat connected to the AMD Adrenaline software/drivers (go figure) and their "automatic" settings. I switched it over to manual control with a slight overlock and slight undervolt and the CTD's without error messages have disappeared. I still get the very occasional stutter where things drop to 1 FPS for a few seconds but things then catch back up. Overall performance seems to be decent/stable. I'm at 1440p, Ultra settings and getting 30ish in major cities and 50+ at cruise or non-urban areas. Currently doing a flight in the WT CJ4, I'm at FL400 over Texas at 45-55 FPS. The biggest thing for me though is that it doesn't CTD. For reference, R5 3600, 6800XT, 32 GB of DDR4-3600.

Considering that the context of this update is performance improvements for the XBox release, I expect that the 40% / 864p figure will be the render target for "4k 60fps" on the console. lmao, of course, but "4k gaming" is only marginally a thing on computers today so no poo poo a console isn't going to be able to pull it off for real. look at those gorgeous 4k menus though!

Just played for the first time in a few weeks which also installed the update. Did the landing challenge (caravan in Iceland) and noticed the yoke seems to be reversed - if I bank to the left, the aircraft indeed rolls left, but the yoke displays right. Is that a known issue?

It's a known issue in that you spawn with the autopilot on for some strange reason (so it will fight you). Turn off the AP.

huh, never thought of AP. Didn't feel like it was fighting me though  I'll take a better look next time and see if it was indeed engaged. Thanks

Really, out of the box it's amazing without any 3rd party add-ons. It plays "decently" on mediocre hardware. Back in the day it was not rare to be in a scenario when no contemporary hardware could run any cutting edge sim well.

I just did a WW2 nostalgia flight in New Guinea from Kokoda to Port Moresby over the Owen Stanley Mountains. The cloud level was about 500 feet below ridge line level with some open patches that looked amazing. My hat's off to the poor bastards who had to fight their way over that route on foot.

Been having a blast with the DC-6. I didn't even think I would. The Flight Engineer is basically mandatory since whenever I have throttle control, I usually end up killing at least one of my engines because surprise, radials require care when used and not just flicking the throttle around like an F/A-18. My takeoffs are getting better, my descents are getting less suicidal (esp since I found out you're supposed to control speed with drag not power), now I just need to plan better (at all) so I'm not doing orbits to line up the runway.

I’m enjoying it, too. The AFE really is clever. And yeah, my usual technique of cruising along until I realize I’m over the airport and divebombing it isn’t really feasible with the DC-6. My only real complaint about it is that when you turn up the time compression with the AP on, it porpoises like we’re back on the launch version of MSFS. I hope they smooth it out.

Cojawfee posted:Why is it an awful idea? VR controllers were pretty awesome for XPlane. Because you have to transition between them and your HOTAS all the time, at least up until that point where the controllers can fully and precisely track all of your finger positions on both hands and also provide the full tactile feedback of telling you the position of your stick and throttle.

While I fully believe DCS would have situations where the transition between controllers hits at bad times and makes it a pain, it’s fairly easy to switch in x-plane and people still acted like it was the end of the world to have to let go of the HOTAS and pick up a VR hand. Bind everything to your HOTAS that you desperately need for “my hands need to be on the stick and throttle the whole time” situations which are takeoff and landing and require just a handful of things - flaps, gear, autopilot, TO/GA, speed brakes. GA doesn’t have enough switches and knobs necessary in a high workload time outside of tuning autopilot to need VR hands; tubes are automated enough you can free one hand for switches when you’re cleaning up the plane or playing with stuff. If you’re trimmed and steady it’s maybe a little weird but not that bad to let go of the throttle and grab your VR hand next to it to flick lights or radios or whatever you need to. I desperately want hands in MSFS - though I haven’t tried VR for many patches. They don’t have it yet, do they?

Some VR headsets use built-in cameras to track controllers (like the Reverb). At what point do they just use those to do hand tracking? That would be the best of both worlds for flight sim controls.

I got a t16000 stick+throttle combo, but the throttle is poo poo (unless you do a lot of aftermarket work on it, apparently) so after two flights I shelved it. Really hope the Turtle Beach set comes out in August and it's decent, since I've now forgotten all the not-enforced-by-the-game-but-I-do-FAA-rules-voluntarily restrictions. It's not bad with a controller but there's a lot missing. Not the least of which being analog rudder.

Gonna get in a little sim time since I haven't been on in over a month, get the HOTAS setup all into place and plugged in, oh I have to install an 80GB update well ok I'll be back in some hours. That's all done now let's... Oh gently caress you. You check my internet connection that just installed 80GB motherfucker. No mods installed, no ad blocker, no virus scanner, just no joy.
