    For anyone using Active Pause.. Your plane will continue to burn fuel while active pause is running.
    So if you pause and go AFK for an extended period, you might return and unpause to empty fuel tanks and a plane falling out of the sky.
    Fortunately the Weight and Balance tab in the overhead hot bar allows you to magically refuel the plane mid glide.

      you can pause, turn off the engine, do whatever you want, then turn back on the engine before unpausing
      Regardless, this is silly, hope they fix this and stop the fuel consumption while in pause

      @ermwhatdaheck 4 роки тому +1

      Logitech Extreme 3D joysticks will always be the absolute best for a really tight budget. Although with a flight sim you'll eventually want a yoke, throttle, and pedals at least for a solid sim experience. Logitech makes those for a decent price especially if you look for some deals on Ebay. Thrustmaster's are the best but of course cost a LOT. A yoke alone can reach around $1000+. If you're serious about flight sim, it's a big long term investment, if you're more casual, Ebay deals are the best way to go, just be careful with those.

      It’s got way more problems than slow downloads. There’s huge problems with the Microsoft store installer and other things. Slow down loads can be handled but I’m dealing with floundering downloads where it gets stuck on different files and just downloads the same file over and over again. Then the amount the game crashes is pretty awful. Just changing a joystick mapping can cause the game to crash with no warning.

    • @slowneutron6163
      @slowneutron6163 4 роки тому

      Addendum : Ok, so after a solid 20 hours of gameplay, it turns out that my skepticism wasn't completely unfounded....for example, London is a complete mess and I understand it's even worse with the ORBX update that NO ONE should have to purchase on Day One. And there are all kinds of weird graphic issues.....like lights suspended in mid air over the fjords of Norway. Yeah, it's buggy as hell....but I still maintain that it's in better shape than I thought it would be. As an old fart who actually had Flightsimulator by Sublogic on an Atari 8000 XL, (If you don't know Sublogic then you're too young. Get some years then get back to me), I am happy this thing works as good as it does....and no amount of beta-testing vids was going to convince me until my hands were on the controls and running on MY system. I have a good system. A really good system....not a great one, but a good one. It's doing well on custom settings that are somewhere between high and ultra with a 35-45 FPS, which could be better but is acceptable in slow-fly simming, especially at altitude.
      I saw that there were tons of download issues, too. Well, it's day one and I don't count that. It happened to me too...stuck download...but at least I had the presence of mind to terminate the attempt and try again instead of waiting 18 hours wondering why the progress bar isn't moving. There are quite a few legit gripes, but there's nothing I see that can't be fixed over the course of the development of this sim.
      Ok, that's it. Yes, I did a lot of trolling on a lot of channels, but only because I'm into flight sims. Always have been. Because I am NOT stepping onto a real plane......those things are DANGEROUS. Are you people crazy?! ;) Ok, bye now.

Also, it depends on what image they had available for your hometown on Bing Maps, which is where all the data comes from.

      Any CPU, even clocked i9-10900K is still a bottleneck, unless you go for 2k ultra + , then it's the GPU. In the end, there's generally no HW on the market (unless you build some multi-CPU multi-GPU crazy overkill rig) to run MSFS2020 on 4k ultra with at least stable 60fps. Was similar with previous flight sims as well, there were times when I bought a new high-end PC to play FSX for VFR with GA and FS9 maxxed out with addons for IFR jets ;-) ............... but I guess with RTX 3090, some serious multi-CPU setup will be required not to have the GPU having easy time off :-D ... to summarize - MSFS2020 will take a few years to run smoothly to it's full potential on regular "high-end" gaming PCs, and we'll have to wait for such HW to come and be reasonably affordable. That's life.

    thanks for the valuable 5 points there. The search options for Fauna or points of interest is indeed a stunning new approach. Also thank you for showing the download scenery (manual cache) option. I believe this is by far one of the biggest improvements in comparison to fsx or x-plane etc where you had to access 2nd, 3rd or 4th party websites and download or / and purchase certain scenery packs and manually install them into fsx.
    a built in 3d globe - map is indeed what I was waiting and hoping for. I hear a lot of moanig and whining about "download times" etc... but hey, our planet is big! and 3d data with textures is also big data!
    one question: does ms-flightsim offer a split / separate download between 3d terra mesh, object mesh and textures? Of what I saw in your video you kind of download an area including all of the three, is that correct? Or is the 3d landmark data pre-built in?
    I am asking because I love soaring. So I would prioritize 3d word land data (terra mesh) before high res texture and that before downloading city, objects data etc.
    I am very happy with your channel and all the info you share, thank you!

    I was checking frame rates and get about 30-35 fps at the default High setting running at 1440x3440. Checked 1920x1080 (windowed) at Ultra default and get 40-45 fps. Overall good experience.
    Just beginning to learn all the in's and out's of the game. I'm going to upgrade to a 2080 super in hopes of a decent frame rate with Ultra at 1440x3440.

If they really cared about maximizing profits then they probably wouldn't have made this available via Xbox Game Pass, which lets you play it for a whole month for $1 (I used that method to play it several hours early yesterday, and is a good way to try it out without having to worry about Steam's refund policy).

      The premium content is working now. I was also just able to have 1 hour flight with no crashes. No idea why it worked without crashing now and didn't work before.

    Downloading this beauty right now! To be honest i thought this sim would come out by New Years or even early 2021, what a surprise! And i don’t care about bugs, together we will fix them much faster!

    Downloaded in about 4 hrs. Because Steam had the whole USA start download at Midnight EST I was able to start at 9:30 pm PDT on the 17th. Still have had issues though. I spent maybe 2 hrs trying to get my CH Flight Yoke and Pedals set up as they're not part of the pre-recognized peripherals. Need to figure out how to print out keyboard shortcuts. It's going to take awhile to learn most of the abilities of this sim.

There is a page on the official support site about this, but it is totally BS such as "restart your game" or "verify integrity on steam", which does not help at all.

    Not sure what all the complaints are about the Steam download. Worked flawlessly for me. Only hiccup was malwarebytes blocking the connection to the download servers for the sim. Easy enough to fix. Sim runs amazingly well on my PC as well.

    Also know that Steam has a bug where the premium and deluxe premium will not load initially. You have to close out of the flight sim, close out of Steam. Reopen steam - check to see if the two DLC appear as notifications. I had to close out three times and reopen before they populated. It's an additional 4GB download so be forewarned.
