So here's some interesting info on the hellworld that is the MSFS installer: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/...-002/184428/234 TL/DR: If you're installing the game and it keeps resetting an individual file's progress to 0%, it's because it's so bad at networking that you will have to artificially cap your bandwidth to ~500kb/sec. Once you've slowed yourself down to DSL speeds, it will work.

Roll could be either from a bad joystick config, the plane itself doing plane things or both. There's no plane to plane collision. They thankfully realized that assholes were too abundant (and that the ATC can't really manage traffic). If you tell us what plane you're flying, we can tell you how to work the AP in it. Flights will only end and return you to the menu if you're parked where the game wants you to park (easiest is to ask for taxi to parking/gate), you turn off the engine and the electrics. You can randomly bump into a game-approved parking spot (the taxi assistance trails will show it as a green box once you're already on top of it), but even perfectly valid IRL parking spots might not trigger the end menu if that's not where the game wants you to park right now. Don't feel bad, quitting back to the menu and getting sent there from parking function the same. The game logs your landing, but nothing about parking so it's identical stat-wise.

You can't collide with any planes, player or AI. Which is good because neither of them are going to try to avoid hitting you.

FYI if you picked up the free DLC of some airport in Europe that one of the payware companies released (Aerosoft?) that thing's like 7GB. So maybe checking all to download in that updater isn't always a great idea.

That sounds like a really neat idea. Simulate the parts of an actual engine, throw some incoming damage at it and observe how the model responds. Of course if you're not pants on head retarded, you would then take the data from that observation and make a chart with % outcomes and run the actual game with that. Because you don't need a real time simulation of every cell in Adam Jensen's robopancreas to accurately model how each candy bar he ingests progresses him on the path towards diabetes.

Otis Reddit posted:What's the best way to play Flight Sim 2020? I want to have mod support when the mod community starts fixing areas that are kinda fuctup. Don't buy any version but the basic bitch one. Any *premium* plane is DRMed and can never be fixed by the community. Windows store vs steam doesn't really matter too much.

I just lawn-darted a C172 into part of Canada despite having it set to "visual only" because I went vaguely near a cloud and immediately froze solid. Yep. I'm in New England and I can't fly with real weather on most days unless the plane has de-icing stuff in it.

Cat Wings posted:I'm planning on getting MSFS soon, but I don't have a HOTAS. Is it playable with mouse and keyboard, or maybe a controller, or am I hosed? It's great with an xbox controller. It's a civ flight sim. Nobody's trying to shoot you down, so you can take your time clicking buttons in the cockpit with your mouse.

What do you find iffy about landing with a controller? The only thing I don't like is there's no on-screen feedback about your current throttle % when you adjust it with the gamepad buttons.

Sapozhnik posted:TypeScript doesn't get compiled down to WASM, it gets translated to JavaScript and in MSFS that JavaScript code gets executed by CoherentUI's JavaScript interpreter for the purposes of driving the HTML cockpit displays. The SpaceX thing is probably fine. Each display is probably it's own embedded device. It ends up being a shitshow in MSFS because the airliners have 8 of the fuckers and they're all seem to be on the same core.

You can't actually control the garmin stuff in MSFS can you? I haven't flown anything since October, but last I'd played there weren't actually binds in the sim for the Garmin specific controls. So you can adjust the AP stuff (heading, alt, etc) and radios, but not like pages on the MFD or the knob that does the airport code input for your flight plans.

Has any FS ever had good ATC? I know X-Plane's ATC guided me directly into a mountain in Alaska. It is weird to me that they've got all these waypoints and approach plates to draw from, but none of the ATC ever seem to direct you to them.

Combat Pretzel posted:I'm trying to understand what the graphics engine actually does. Due to this ReBAR poo poo on NVidia, I've been trying various games and things. Eventually I flew over open ocean, no land in sight, still 45 fps, on external view. I mean how? There's barely anything in geometry. You can turn on the FPS measuring doohickey in the dev tools. There you will be able to find out that the reason your game runs like poo poo is because most of your gauges are individual tabs of chrome written in the dumbest way physically possible to mankind.

So what's the current version number of MSFS now? I boot mine up, it shows me a splash screen about the Nordic update, doesn't update anything else and it tells me that my game version is 1.17.3.0. Are their servers currently so hosed that it failed to reach them when I started the program and so it's assuming it's up to date?

Saved flight plans have 0 fuel when loaded. So that's why your plane keeps stalling out at the runway no matter how many times you hit Ctrl-E to start the loving engine. You're not crazy.

I'm getting what I thought were crashes (because the sim literally pauses mid-flight and becomes unresponsive for 20-30 seconds at a time), but might be terrain loading / downloading? That's new and real loving annoying.
