lolWikipedia posted:In April 2016, the ICON A5 purchaser's agreement was made public and was noted by the aviation media as containing many controversial elements not usually found in aircraft purchase agreements. These included contractually required pilot training, maintenance, agreements not to sue, the requirement for factory airframe overhauls every 2,000 hours or ten years (whichever comes first), and a limit on the aircraft's life of 6,000 hours, or thirty years. Furthermore, each aircraft would be equipped with a camera and recorder to monitor pilot behavior, that is owned by the manufacturer but must be maintained by the owner. Owners would have to agree to be "supportive" of the company. Future owners were required to sign the same agreement or face penalties.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:asked in the SHSC GPU thread, but I'll post again here. I'm thinking about upgrading GPU, and targeting a used RTX 3070 or maybe 3080 from a nice goonhome when the 4000 series goes on sale and peopel upgrade. Any reason to consider AMD GPUs instead for MSFS purposes? I believe MSFS doesn't support DLSS so there's not much of a gap between AMD and nvidia cards. Any thoughts from y'all? It will be driven by a R5 3600 for what it's worth.

froody guy posted:One reason? The extra ram. And the fact that support for FSR 2.0 should be coming soonish. But if raytracing is something you dig, than nvidia will serve you better I guess. Also, I don't know much about sales going on rn but I heard nvidia ones are more aggressive so maybe it's better to scoop up a 3800 than a 6900, although I heard of some nasty sales on the 6900 XT too. 3080ti for 850 bux, pretty hard to justify AMD's equivalent. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce...aps%2C76&sr=8-3

The 3080 Ti XC3 also isn't really amazing. It has the smallest cooler out of any 3080 Ti model, and it tends to be pretty noisy as a result. Though perhaps the jet engine noises coming from your computer will enhance the flight sim experience. It's probably smarter to get one of the 3080 12GB models for $100 less. You lose barely any performance, and there are models available with an actual decent cooler.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:if you wanted to fly but thought the process of learning to do so was too arduous, and you already own jetskis, ORVs and sleds, the A5 is for you. FWIW, I know you said MSFS, but just be aware that there's some wonkiness with AMD cards in XP11 with Vulkan. Apparently has something to do with how it handles OpenGL and getting out of sync with the rest of the sim. Results in items like screens, clouds, etc flashing/strobing. Really annoying (muh immersion) but not gamebreaking. I have a 6800xt and this was the most noticeable with Enhanced Skyscapes (clouds/sky would flash), PFD/MFD flashing on a bunch of TorqueSim and HotStart Products, and also the customizable registration on the HotStart Challenger flashing (both the in-cockpit reg panel and the custom #'s on the engines). This will hopefully be fixed in XP12 however I'm seeing folks say this is an AMD driver issue and not a Laminar Research issue. I will say it's gotten better and I can actually use Enhanced Skyscapes now. It was annoying enough that I was considering selling my 6800xt for a 3080, but with with XP12 around the corner (and lol $$$), I've held off.

I’ve been debating a graphics card upgrade for a couple of months for MSFS. I have a 5700xt using a 1440p 144hz display and it works fine, but I have the upgrade itch. Can’t decide whether it makes sense to get a 3070ti, 3080 10gb, or 3080 12gb. Or sit tight for 4000 series or sit tight for even later in the future. The decision paralysis is real.

I'd say just wait for the 4000 series, 4080 should be out by the end of the year and you made it this long on your 5700xt. It might be hard to get, but nowhere near as bad as the 3000 series was.

On that same fence too. Sort of holding out to see the 4000 series and to let prices drop. I expect the 4000s will be another paper launch or the card won't be an upgrade over a 3000. I probably just have anxiety from when I told my dad to wait for the 3000s and leave the 2060 on the table, and then for 2 years you couldn't get either lol. He ended up with 3050.

Wait for the 4000 series, if it's a pain in the rear end to get any cards aim for a high end 3000 at that point and you'll probably get a nice discount on a used one. efb

The graphics card market is getting a lot better. I will also say if you can't get a 4000 level card I have a rig I built in 2020 that is on the high side of mid tier but with a 3060ti and it runs Flight Simulator relatively speaking very very high settings across the board completely fine. So even if the 4000 level cards are tough to grab dropping down to a 3000 is fine.

Yeah ditto. I haven't regretted it. I'd been running on an gen4 i5 and it was long past time. I did at some point buy a mid-range AMD card which let me at least play newer games, but performance was not hot. CPU-intensive stuff like Civ VI and Stellaris were completely unfun in late-game; immensely better now.

Just as a minor followup I'm currently running a Ryzen 7 3700 3.6 ghz cpu, 32GB of DDR4 3600 ram, and 3060ti and at 2560 x 1440 resolution I can run pretty much the majority of contemporary games at high to ultra settings with little to no hitching. Obviously not running HDR nor am I doing some of the hardest most advanced stuff but that doesn't bother me too much. Flight Sim runs fine.

3080 ti made absolutely no difference in the game for me. it's capped by a 100% single thread on the cpu as soon as you step in an airliner cockpit. been doing that since the day it came out. GA planes run fine by comparison. flight sim never changes

I was able to get a fairly steady 55fps at 1080p on the "high end" settings once I swapped my 1080 for a 3080 on my 3700x/32G system. I've not flown anything bigger than a King Air, but it's been nice.

Tech issues that maybe somebody here can help with. Took a bit of a break from MSFS but got back into it recently, except this time I'm having some major performance issues. I've been one of the lucky ones that in the past had no major issues until now. PC Specs: Ryzen 5600x 32gb DDR4 3600 ram GPU: 3080 Game on SSD Playing at 1440p Basically no matter what when I spawn into an airport my performance is as expected. 40-60fps sitting at airport. Take off, performance the same. About 15-30 minutes into the flight the performance slowly takes a nose dive until ultimately within 10 minutes I am getting single digit FPS. Has happened each time I have tried to fly so far (5 or so times). Per the dev info in game the GPU goes from no sweat (usually main thread limited like everybody) to this.

Definitely try without mods and if it runs fine, enable them one by one to find the culprit. If I had to guess I'd say the model matching and possibly the shipping traffic mods.
