Too bad multiplayer seems to happen in multiple instances. I reloaded on EDDL on the same geographic server, and there's entirely different people around now.

Uh, so the mach bug on the 78X, does it break drag simulation? I've been going 320kn at 10500ft, then did a controlled dive to 1500ft because I wanted to see who was at a local airport, and then the plane coasted around 240-250kn at +/- 0FPM VS and it barely shed speed. I was controlling thrust manually, and engines were at idle. --edit: Right now I'm descending at 1400FPM, with 260kn, but according to the artificial horizon, I'm not even at -0.5° and the plane doesn't shed speed either with engines at idle.

So, uh, autothrottle doesn't work anymore in the 787? Or at least it broke here after I let the plane climb from take-off to 16000ft. Causing the plane to overspeed when leveling out. The gently caress? --edit: I'm now flying level at 270kn, and the nose is like 7° up to maintain altitude. Jesus loving Christ, Asobo!

That goddamn TTS. My callsign is McMozzarella. It used to say it correctly, but now only the ATC does while my virtual pilot doesn't and spells out the letters instead.

Cojawfee posted:Sim nerds get way too far up their own asses. When multiple sims do the same wrong thing, they start thinking it must be real. Racing sims used to have slippery as hell tires and people assumed that must be realistic because it's hard to drive. Then a sim would come out and people complain about the cars being on rails and the cars are too easy to drive, so they must be fake. Hard to drive means it's real. And then the devs bring up how they spent a bunch of time modeling how tires actually behave, and they hired an actual professional driver who has driven most of these cars in real life and he says it's good.

If you have the Premium edition, the 787 is less automated. Autothrottle is a switch on the MCP. The plane however is nearly twice the size of the A320 and flies accordingly.

On the download screen in-game, you can select a custom folder. Do that, one outside of the game install folder, to avoid this poo poo the next time.

Gonna take a while, 15GB assets to download. Around 2.5 hours with my lovely internet. I'm not expecting much from VR, given the current framerates. My only concern would be in regards to reprojection, hoping the sim renders wide enough to prevent flickering at the fringe for the most part, when rotating my head too quickly. Change log has tons of airliner fixes. Still doesn't mention fixing the APU shutting down on the 787 when enabling the left side fuel pumps. :|

VR works OK I guess. I get the feeling like spatial data (head rotation and translation) is subsampled and makes things janky. Could be the game getting confused by messing with various SteamVR settings during runtime. Motion smoothing is definitely a no-go for this game.

Apparently if you're using SteamVR, you're supposed to start SteamVR first before the game. There seems to be an issue where it drops frames. Sure seemed like it when I exited the game and dropped into SteamVR void, which had the same judder. Then this setting apparently also has an effect:  And here's someone on the MSFS forums talking some stuff: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/...ve-index/321913

VR in MSFS definitely works smoother with the few tweaks I quoted earlier and starting SteamVR ahead. The Desktop Theater toggle is just to stop SteamVR getting involved during 2D mode. The main offender in performance still seem to be the web browser instances for the glass cockpit. Because for one, if you go to third person view, frametimes improve a lot, and there's a performance difference between say the TBM and the 787, where latter has like at least twice the touch screens than the former. Also, landing planes in VR seems easier. Especially the 787, which I've been setting down manually most of the times.

EvilJoven posted:Wait what? Glass panels are rendered on actual instances of chrome? Lol gently caress software devs are lazy and stupid. Using Chromium to render the glass cockpit isn't so much an issue. The issue is that it seems to run on the main render thread instead of separate. Reducing the rendering frame rate of the glass panels improves the game's total framerate. A hack initially found by the community, then later adopted by the devs. It should just render separately on a different thread and supply the final textures.

What's wrong with that? WebAssembly is just a different format to dump native code into (from things like C/C++ and so on), there's even WASM versions of the Visual Studio runtimes. And TypeScript gets JIT'd to native code. Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Dec 25, 2020 |

DC Designs is gonna release their F-15 in roughly two weeks, as stand-alone because the MSFS store takes a while. And they're working on a F-22, too. Neat. Definitely do want the F-22.

I suppose FPV drone flying hardened me, because you're looking at a view, whose movements are entirely unrelated to your inner ear. The first few times, I started almost keeling over because my brain couldn't decide what cue to take for balance (eyes or ears), then for a while I was moving my head like Stevie Wonder, to eventually stand still and look like a normal person (as normal as you can look with FPV goggles on your face). --edit: How long until someone converts Night City from Cyberpunk 2077?
