sigher posted:Do I need the game on the MS store for that? Or is it a separate download to get into the testing? I have a Steam copy, so I assumed betas are being delivered to people who own the game on the MS Store at this point since the game is out now. It's a bit of a moot question since they aren't taking any more beta applicants right now. If you're not in already, you'll have to wait until the next time they open it up to try and get in. Presumably, though, they'd flag your MS account for access and you'd download a test build from the MS store regardless of where you bought it previously.

They haven't been able to work out the licensing stuff yet with the airlines is what they've said on the topic. There are a shitload of community-made liveries you can install, however.

The Working Title Garmin (G1000 and G3000) mods are also great. Tons of little improvements and it's super nice having certain settings saved between sessions/planes.

All that does is make a symlink, so it didn't/wouldn't make a difference. As a rule, any game that uses its own launcher instead of Steam to download the game is not going to play well with Steam's file validation tool.

Shipon posted:Holy crap that's awesome, I'll definitely be on the lookout for one of these things. I bought a Streamdeck thinking I could use that with one of the event handlers but it's definitely more annoying to use. AxisAndOhs appears to have Streamdeck support as well, so you may still be able to get some good use out of it.

Mokotow posted:What's a good source for FS2020 news? Google search gives me mostly lovely SEO sites, and Avsim sucks. If you're mostly looking for general state of the sim/dev update stuff, they do a monthly-ish Q&A video on the official youtube channel. Seems like everyone else putting out news usually just pulls from that and maybe tosses in some third-party plane announcements.

stinky ox posted:Good lord this is so much nicer in VR. Landing the drat plane is so much better when you're not having to choose between looking straight out the front or pressing the hat switch to look straight out the side whilst being very much too low to be able to see out over the nose, or just slightly too low if you press the change view button at the right time... when you can just look out the plane like a normal person lining up for your final approach and judging when to flare becomes natural and intuitive instead of something you can never get quite right. You actually start to get a feel for flying the plane. It's great. Flying the sim is so much more enjoyable. You'd get more performance back by ditching VR and using TrackIR instead.

i am kiss u now posted:LOL if anyone can go back to 2D from VR even if performance is horrendous. Hi. It's pretty easy if you're running a Rift CV1 and you can't even read the gauges on top of it running like hammered rear end with interpolation artifacts everywhere. Anyway, if the main (practical) benefit you're getting out of VR is head tracking, there are waaaaaay cheaper and less demanding ways to get that.

GutBomb posted:Maybe the main practical benefit you’re getting out of VR is head tracking but we don’t all have ancient headsets. All of my instruments are clear. There’s a proper sense of scale and depth. It’s also cool as gently caress. No, the main practical benefit of VR for me is Beat Saber. I have TrackIR for head tracking in FS2020. I'm not making GBS threads on VR. I enjoy VR quite a bit, just not in FS2020. Part of that is my old-rear end Rift, but part of that is lovely performance on FS2020's part. ASW can only go so far.

slidebite posted:Was there an MSFS update coming this week? That doesn't sound abnormal. It could have been shaders recompiling for the new card, or it may have been hitting the cpu loading texture data from the cloud or something and not have had anything to do with the gpu at all.

If it's just the rudder axis and it also happens on other machines, it might be fixable by taking apart the stick and going at the rudder potentiometer with some deoxit, if you're feeling handy and/or don't want to deal with warranty support (if applicable). I've done this a couple times when the twist rudder on my T.16000m has started acting up. Disassembly/reassembly can be annoying, but it beats buying a new stick if you're out of warranty.

Cancelbot posted:Are any of the fighter jets in the FS2020 store any good? Don't want to drop money on something that's crappy and the store page doesn't contain any reviews for them. The MB-339 and T-45C from Indiafoxtecho, and the Fiat G91 from Sim Skunk Works are all pretty good. I'd buy them through OrbX though, that way updates don't need to go through Microsoft's certification process and so you get them quicker. None of the supersonic fighters available right now are particularly good, unfortunately.

azflyboy posted:Probably the two biggest 3rd party sites are Justflight (they sell their own stuff, and some from other developers), and simmarket. On the smaller end, OrbX also has their own store where they sell planes from other folks as well as their own scenery packs. Limited plane selection, but what's there is good quality. They also have their own downloader/update client to make managing things a bit easier.

I was also getting crashes and hard system resets in the sim (and also not in the sim). Check Event Viewer for possible hints, in my case there were WHEA errors pointing directly to my CPU as the culprit. That has since been replaced and all is well.

DLSS can do some really impressive stuff (something like Minecrat RTX is as perfect a use-case as I've seen, if you're looking for one), but it's not a universal silver bullet like some folks make it out to be. It's worlds better than any non-temporal upscaling solution I've seen, though. Easily good enough that most people wouldn't know it wasn't native in most cases if you didn't tell them.

Squiggle posted:Been wondering this for a bit - what do you do when starting from a parking spot somewhere, and there's no pushback, but you're facing forward through a bunch of refueling poo poo or a building or something? Either use slew mode to turn around or use the pushback hot key. Or reverse thrust, if available.

MikeJF posted:Yeah but if it was part of the base scenery all the heavy stuff would just be part of the streamed data and not installed, wouldn't it? It'd just be another area with high resolution assets available like many that already exist like New York. That's already how it works, though. Textures are streamed, custom geometry isn't.
