I also want to point out that while the systems are not fully modeled here and there, it clearly has the potential to, and as a game that just came out and successfully hit a market of people who have never flown in a sim before, is a very good balance of sim to accessibility. We also have the big 3rd party guys…

I am going to add that amazon is good for logitech and thrustmaster products but you can get a better price one Newegg, where I got my warthog hotas for about $100 less than Amazon. For Honeycomb, it is a smaller brand and you can give them their full support via direct website purchase. My friend got his honeycomb…

It definitely does not feel like an arcade. Getting a smooth flight takes some work, good trimming, and steady hands/feet to keep against strong winds. I’ve done some fantastic crosswind landings, felt updraft crossing over the peak of a mountain where the wind hitting the mountain brushes up and you suddenly hit a…

I currently use the Saitek (now sold as Logitech) Yoke and throttle quadrant plus an extra one for 6 levers, with a Saitek Combat Rudder Pedal. I also had the Thrustmaster Warthog set which I use for combat sims. I still use the Warthog throttle for twin jet engines like the Citation, and keep it plugged in for the…

I had a hunch haha, I avoid passive aggression so went for the “I’ll have to try it out” approach.

Honestly, I felt challenged to do so.

I am intrigued to try this hunt for the mine, as it is massive and not hard to navigate to. I have had issues here and there with trees being overpopulated in the wrong places and it bunches up over land features and buildings. For instance my home of Vancouver has lots of trees still in between the buildings…

crossing over mountains in alaska i am pretty sure i hit some rough wind and possibly thermals. Lots of sudden updraft as I pass over a peak, especially in the lighter bush planes.

Excellent! So far everyone I’ve shown has had an improvement and yet I rarely see any mention of it an any ‘tips’ videos or articles.
BTW, i was messing with video settings as my computer is pretty good but getting to the age of no longer top-teir; using a 1070 video card.
I found that buildings will look like garbage…

Looks like a very flat Road America with a hint of Le Mans inspiration. Is it really going to be this flat though?

Check your C drive(or wherever windows is installed) and see if that is getting maxed out. Then check your data settings (in the game’s options) and move your rolling cache to a larger drive, preferably an SSD. I moved mine to a folder I created outside of Program Files, on a 1tb SSD, and named it “MSFS2020 Cache”,…

Here’s a big one:
In the sim’s options, under Data
Set your rolling cache to a more appropriate location. By default it goes to your appdata/roaming folder, which is generally in your C drive or windows install directory. Many people, like myself, have windows installed on a smaller devoted drive or partition with…

They look damn incredible, good enough that I would totally try and put the time in a bush plane and “golf” it around the course.

Yeah, most likely the last time your area was collected was around then.
Satellite imagery is not live, most people will find that things like google maps are over 10 years old for their area. It’s pretty standard. It’s constantly being updated but by satellites that are going around the earth scanning it in slices and…

A lot of these bugs are prevalent across multiple sims. They are incredibly few and far between when you take into account these are satellite data errors spanning over about 15 years of collection. A lot of them have to do with seems between data blocks.
If anybody thinks that a few of these errors are a sign of the…

I was in complete denial for the first 3 hours.
The bastards had a display at the Vancouver Art Gallery, describing this game as legendary before anybody had even played it.
I’ve never been absolutely pissed off about a game turning out to not be good ever before or after playing that game.

Spore.
I went years playing games that maybe turned out not to be fun all the way back to the Commodore 64, but Spore was definitely my first experience being old enough to be susceptible to hype and seeing a massive marketing buildup- including a feature display at the Vancouver Art Gallery that had described the game…

While I don’t think a car sponsor has ever directly motivated me to buy a product, I did find it weird in hindsight that all of my favorite toy race cars when I was a kid revolved around cigarette brand liveries. As a result, I knew virtually every brand of smokes a decade before I eventually did smoke; as soon as I…

At first glance I thought this was chocolate.

I got sucked into Destiny 2 for a bit because of friends suddenly playing it. I thought it was pretty disappointing at first because I expected ..i dont know something else; But I started to like it once I was able to join up with ppl and figure out the weird UI. This of course completely derailed my Death Stranding…
