Agreed RE: glass. When I fly a sim I want to fly steam gauges, not the same glass I fly every day (G5000). Incidentally, I personally hate the G1000, and always have since I was first introduced to it. It takes too long to set up, and everything takes an enormous amount of button pressing and knob twisting to do. I realize it was Gen 1 for Garmin, and the G3000/G5000 is much better, but I can’t stand the 1000. And now I have it in nearly every complex airplane in MSFS, LOL! Serves me right I guess. In real life the 750 is great, I wish we had more of those and steam gauges.
I guess that’s why in DCS I love the Viggen, Tomcat and Huey so much.
Huuuuuuuuge stuttery mess on high settings for me for the most part. Barely breaking 10-15fps most of the time. 7700K, 16gb ram, 1080.
Feel like I should be getting better than that given what I’ve read, but oof. A lot of the time I’ve been just getting a slideshow of 1-5 fps. GPS becomes totally unusable as the screen won’t update anymore.
Hey Rhino! That’s very weird considering we have almost the same specs (7700K, 16GB RAM, 1080Ti). I am on mostly ultra settings with acceptable FPS. Things that helped me were:
Completely turning off AI and multiplayer traffic.
Disabling temporal anti-aliasing (TAA)
Disabling some of the effects (Depth of field, flares and lens effects)
Completely disabling photogrammetry.
Fearlessfrog put a link somewhere with more tips to increase perfomance. I didn’t try those yet but maybe that could help you as well! Hopefully you’ll find something useful, think you should be getting more with that machine.
I think a clean win 10 install also helps. Mine has been freshly reinstalled less then 2 months ago and I appear to be getting more performance out of it then others with similar specs.
I suffered from stuttering and freezes, updated GPU drivers (nvidia), OS (from 1903 to 2004), nothing helped. My CPU lacks HT (i5-6600K) so only 4 threads. Apparently for many beta testers the beta version run really smooth, only now the release version stutters, freezes and generally run really bad on the same hardware/settings. So probably there is something more than individual specs at play. What helped me was lowering terrain level of detail from medium default of 50 to 25. A lot less stuttery now.
Yep going to be going through all those. Just disappointing given some of the reviews. Also turning all this stuff off defeats the point of flying this over x-plane
Well, after all the tweaks I did (mostly medium settings, terrain detail lowered, but reflections, clouds and waves set to high, windshield effects to ultra - for those glorious reflections), the sim runs better than X-Plane and still looks AMAZING.
I finally had some time to properly fly today, so I just did a few flights.
An especially funny one was from EDXW (Sylt) to EKEB (Esbjerg).
The ATC had no clue how to pronounce either of those so they ended up spelling Sylt (“S-Y-L-T approach”) and Esbjerg sounded like they said “Ass-jerk”.
Edit: I also played around a bit with the G1000 and…well… this needs some more work. Quite a few bugs and quirks.
Also: the achievements are broken. I flew around in Southern Norway and when I landed in Kristiansand I suddenly got the dead stick achievement although both engines were running. I also got the “taxi 100 miles” achievement during that flight.
yes and Bush Trips status are bugged also, now mine is 1/29 on profile status. It started to add each step on the total…
(i already reported to them with screenshot)
Hmm…so I was trying to set up an IFR flight from Santa Barbara (KSBA) just up the coast to Lompoc (KLPC) in the SR22 but it appears approaches for KLPC are not in the database. When I tried to exit out of the FLP menu by pressing ACTIVATE the sim CTD.
I had a CTD messing with trying to modify the TBM flight plan as well. I’ve pretty much committed to flying pre-planned routes and using the world map menu to add the SID/STAR/Approach I want to fly.
Having to modify anything airborne is a PITA, even something as simple as trying to go direct to a point or activate a different leg.
I hate even using the G1000 - I think they way to go is to unmap the scrollwheel that zooms in/out, as turning knobs is frustrating. They need a pop out ability for instruments. I haven’t found a good axis for view zoom in/out I like, but I guess I can lean in with TrackIR. Also, I think options like ‘head shake’ are all on by default, so need to reset things like that (the release build reset all my settings/bindings).
So an interesting (or not) observation. In the Cirrus SR22 (can you tell which airplane I’m evaluating today?) you can set the altimeter on the G1000 and also independently set the altimeter on the analog (standby) altimeter. That is actually a pretty cool feature that they are not automatically tied together…which would be a shortcut in programing. Independently selectable avionics will be a nice feature in more complex machines where you might have a left seat pilot doing something different from the right seat pilot.
Currently trying out an IFR flight from CLT to AVL…evaluating the SR22 autopilot. Through the flight planning (World) map I was able to get a flightplan in there that approximates what you’d expect out of CLT. KNI2.NEANO then the ILS35 at AVL.
So the request IFR clearance worked well, taxiing out on ground frequency…and impressed that it knows when you are holding short of the runway and the tower becomes selectable.
I like so far. I’ll let you know in 20 minutes when I end up in the side of Sugarloaf Mountain whether I still like it…
