Kapitan

Its correct In any given day, anywhere in the world, there will be usually be up to 3 layers, some layers might have more than one type of the four most common tyoe of clouds The 64 layers (i think i read 32) are the layers in which Meteoblue divide the atmosphere for lchanging parameters (surface, calm, windy, foggy, hazy and upwards) Still weather has a lot to improve and i believe Meteoblue only applied 1% of what is capable but needs more time.

Tim: Your advice of checking capital letters is one of the best tips for the new sim. As many others, we have sometimes the idea of naming addon directories to our needs and put first letter in cap, i reckon a reason why many times mods dont work and people think its broken. Thanks!

You know why Im jumping into this? Because someone had this conversation before every time a new sim version came out fs2002, fs9, fsx, even xp... and it was always pointed out that the sim was too cartoonish clear vivid colors while real life was actually more washed out overexposed. And now that a sim tries to make it more real comes you wishing it was more cartoonish!

You need to fly more in real life and take pictures and not do bias comparisons... Like your previous thread on this subject, where you compared orange to apples, a sunny cloudy washed out simulator with a SUNSET picture (orange shade included)... Can you believe it?????? How can someone be such a ..... to compare two different things? And i replied in the the thread with a real life washed out picture of a passenger window shot i was flying at that very same day posted from the airport lounge an hour later It has nothing to do with being a pilot or not, flying a lot or not, it has to do with "memory perception" of what you THINK you saw, you can be a pilot that flew yesterday and still have a bad eye perception of what yoy see daily when comes to describing it. Of course its not like real life You dont realize that sunlight and non-dense cloud thin haze do look in real life to be overexposed, though simulator is not a perfect representation of the human eye in real life, its bettet than any other simulator... Take more pictures while flying and make honest comparisons (with other sims)

why you have it on? thats so fake its a simulator, planes work with rudders are you afraid to crash? if you set auto rudder off and you correctly configure joystick slider Z it should work and the rudder correction ou apply with your hand turning the joy left or right is effortless but gives immersion to simming

this afternoon real flight

Agree, I think multiple monitors are justified if you build a cockpit frame. Its not expensive, made of plywood and cutting windows as a Boeing cockpit for example, you dont even need huge monitors, just the aprox size of each cockpit window. Two medium sized fot front and two smaller for the sides

This guy did something weird Three monitors vertically At first I thought that s crazy. Why would I want to see more sky? But having a second look I think it might give greater immersion. The largest field of sky drags your mind into the scenery What do multiple monitor users have to say?

First pic is better

whats the size of the manual cache? usually it takes quite a while

Good! Make sure your Powe Supply unit is also the recommended for CPU and GPU I think your will be higher than 650watts REAL ? make sure its real output and not nominal

If only 10% of REAL world pilots that also sim move to xbox I will move too. But it wont happen. Zero will move

my friend Xbox is synonymous of crap no good. The graphics depend greatly on your TV and GPU, 4K or not The sim is only interesting with complex planes and Mods that over a span of at least four years will be constantly updated. Plus a complex cockpit and flight need all the plugins and support sites like simvector, approach plates, atc-chatter, etc that xbox wont be able to deliver to a console user. Its for using default planes as is. Though technically you can add files its such a pain few will do it As I always said: xbox is for kids-teens. Enjoy it MS already knows this thats why they released for PC first. Because its more flexible, because there are mature simmers to investigate and help with bugs, etc

Exactly, but the waves are there, they can be shown. Its just a matter of tweaking. Right now there are no ocean current simulation So the only variable tweak is wind But once you find that parameter in config file, you can set nice waves at wind zero and fly with a more realistic ocean in general

actually you can, I was at 800ft and the flying was smooth, the 60kts wind parameter shot in the video is a setting for "wind surface" in the weather drop down menu the wind icon is at very bottom left. So i guess this wind exclusive for surface that doesnt affect flying, (i guess) but i didn try to land with this wind. I dont think the magnitudes of numbers are well represented. But Im sure it can be if the configs are properly tweaked

indeed, but sea only gets lively at that surface speed I made a video https://youtu.be/UwQPxfx-TUQ we need someone to find the file that tweak wind speed to activate waves at lower speeds and we are all set

ah ok great! tks

If its Cub or small GA and a non-ATC airport calculate to be at 1000FT in Initial leg descending to 500ft, be at 500ft on base, maintain visual from runway and get into final at about half a mile, throttle to idle, flaps, carb heat if needed and glide to the runway :)

But...do you regard "freeware FSX A320" better than MSFS sound? Have you seen the Asobo recording equipment and all they`ve been through to get the sounds? how can some freeware from 2010 be better? I know its not you but the guy that made the addon...still would like to know why he thinks his sound is better

I read in the other forum that key assignments (keyboard) are affecting AP and other systems Since i only use the joystick and mouse for knobs i went into Controls - Keyboard and deleted all inputs except those of Menu and Camera

Lets do something : whenever you think about opening a thread because something doesnt work in the aircraft, IF you use a MOD, just make sure you have the latest MOD, they are updated frequently, daily in some cases. Sometimes people say "I have the MOD" yes but since when? a week ago?

Actually no Tim, that connection messaqge appears frequently in mine, and a few seconds later, "connected succesfully" it seems any loss in bandwidth is reported as lost connection with those that dont have excellent speeds I just ignore it never reflected in missing Bing files

Actually they updated yesterday (there are frequent updates) now the latest file size is 84,030kb

The brightness just went black (a bug issue) just turn the left brightness knob again and it will come back The Mod guys acknowledge this, its them that say: "just turn the brightness knob again" not me, thats why I told you, you downloaded the MOD but didn't know about it and i replied to help on that, but they clarified this at their site, maybe you didn't read it The center fuel was another issue that was fixed by latest Mod (the dev beta NOT the stable version) actual size 84,006KB found in the green CODE box at github

there is an issue that pfd goes black (not blank) you just need to turn the bright knob to your left again other fuel and electric problema were solved by flybywire mod
