Jesus the download process is painfully slow.

Bush trips appear to be broken. It's not registering your landing at the end of the leg. Luckily I'd only done a short one.

It is still an improvement, but not what people expected.

Cant complain about 1 FPS right?

Well it is clearly CPU limited at most resolutions up to 4K, once @ 4K it starts to show how good it is.

Clearly? Why? My CPU is sitting at about 30-40% most of the time. I cant imagine it is going to go to 100% with the new card. Well i hope not. And that is without boosting. Still got to sort that shizzle out since a Windows rebuild.

Only look to the right of the yellow, that's when FS was running.



PS, i dont run at 4K.

They changed this months/fortnights challenge to Nice. I reckon one of us can hit 1 million there.

Suggest you check out the reliable Tech youtube channels to get the explanation, the CPU doesn't need to be 100% on all cores to be the bottleneck.

If not running 4K then there is not as much benefit over the 20 series in certain games/situations.

by the way I just purchased a Galax 2070S for $584, bargain considering it was still $849 only a week ago.

[norbs]

2 cores are barely over 50% and they are the highest. Anyways, doesnt matter.

Achievement unlocked. I expect Gt and Darren to get 1.8mill

Big jump over the current card. Nice one. Turn on all the things now Duke.

First world update is Japan, arriving 29 September.

Free Update

6 Photogrammetric Japanese Cities
6 Hand-modeled Airports

Also new landing challenges and a “discovery flight”.

[GT VIRUS]

3d printed HOTAS for xbox controllers

[norbs]

That is excellent.

[nutty]

yeah I might print that

[richo]

Is it me or is the throttle part of HOTAS kind of redundant ? You don't change the throttle input enough but as I said it could just be me.

[DarrenM]

True, you don't need to have your hand on the throttle all the time so it's not hugely necessary. Having one on the base of the stick would be fine as a big convenience over using keys.

Main advantage of a separate throttle is they give you more buttons to map stuff to. I find it easier to remember button mappings than keys and it's a big help in VR of course. For space games people often go for a second stick instead of a throttle for easier 6DOF input.

Also, Japan was released overnight with a new update.

Bush trips appear to be broken. It's not registering your landing at the end of the leg. Luckily I'd only done a short one.

This bug only affected trips started before the 1.8.3 patch. I just restarted mine by deleting the mission folder from c:\users\...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\MISSIONS\ACTIVITIES and the first leg worked. Not sure I want to do the whole nevada trip again, but I probably also need to get it done before the next patch just to be safe. I should have done a leg before deleting just to see if it had been fixed in the new patch

It was explicitly noted in the patch notes... so you might of just screwed up :P

[DarrenM]

The only bush trip patch note is about the back on track feature showing the wrong airport. The bug I had was that was when landing at the right airport it didn't properly end the trip. NFI if it was related and there's a reddit thread implying the landing bug wasn't fixed so I figured what the hell.

Then I remembered how long it took to get where I was and realised a 20 min trip to just to make sure wouldn't have been so bad

Anyone having issues using the marketplace? It's grayed out .

Same here.

I had an internet interruption when the download was at about the 8GB mark (less than 1GB to go). The download wouldn't restart, so I tried restarting the program. On restart it acted like it was complete, but the marketplace is now greyed out. Also, in my one test flight, the Garmin 1000 in my Cessna 172 was blank.
