& Jon, I just mortgaged my house to get cataract surgery, fresh new eyes, so I spent the change LOL

Hi Jon, my 2080Ti is the best, until now, best GPU I ever had - brilliant performance! it is sitting in a box now, after upgrading to 3090... never disappointed with the 2080Ti 11GB - but I personally thought it should have been 16GB VRAM - that's IMO...

well Jon, you definitely would not go lower than your current 11GB imo, but you will get DLSS with a newer GPU, GPU prices have been $crashing to affordable levels recently, was always disappointed that my previous 2080Ti only had 11GB VRAM, please check the available alternatives...

Hi Jon, as you are currently using a 1080Ti with 11GB of VRAM it would be good to get a replacement GPU with at least similar VRAM capacity… as Pete mentions, Brisbane with Orbx YBBN & Cityscape uses a lot of VRAM with quality settings - I’m finding it fluctuates between 10-14GB VRAM whilst doing circuits around this area, I believe this issue is why many have reported stuttering in this area, as always, it becomes necessary to adjust settings to maintain performance , am very happy indeed with SU10 Beta DX12 with DLSS Quality & HAGS ON = smooth performance in all areas… we’ll also know soon about the anticipated new Nvidia driver…

rofl…

Happy Birthday Landon! & hoping you’re having an enjoyable celebration… thanks for all your helpful advice… Cheers, Craig

this is an excellent flight sim monitor & the 34” ultrawide curved view is very immersive, this latest QD-OLED tech provides excellent visuals, it has a pixel refresh function every 4 hours to negate the risk of image burn-in, & it comes with a 3 year warranty…

Orbx actively developing for DCS, wonderful news!

lots of detail...

Wonderful shots, Pete you have captured great Skiathos ambience with lots of detail, & the Goose, the sounds of those big radials are a treat, very well done!

a wide view of Rio, with the new SA mesh...

that’s a very valid way to go - we all know from previous sims that it can be a very expensive hobby, though, when I get the chance, am very happy to support the developer community - & there are some top grade add ons, the occasional sales really help - Orbx recently has had some great bargains - thanks! (it does make a difference to the $bottom line)…

an ultrawide of KSBA...

fixed - thanks!

cannot access Sales items for the latest Orbx Sale and it is 11am Aussie Eastern time just now… or am I mistaken?

nvm

Hi Orbx Team, I'm absolutely amazed by the super professional release of the Fenix Airbus A320 - very easy purchase for me Day 1, & it performs very well, as a discount promo for suitable airports was offered by Orbx for the PMDG 737-700 release - maybe a similar offer could be made available for the very significant release of the Fenix A320, heck, I may even get a new Navigraph subscription to have up-to-date Charts & Navigation data... just a cheeky idea for you

quite interesting, Pete it is the implementation in game - such as MFS - that will determine the effectiveness of these techniques, & in general, Nvidia GPUs seem to have the advantage to be able to run both DLSS & FSR, MFS is reported to implement both techniques - so then will be able to test it out…

Pass…

Jimi, Hendrix!

thanks for your question, Landon the situation now - viewing the flood plain... Kyogle is cattle country, & the flood plain is the reason for such lush pastures - just not so good for houses, our whole area is called the Northern Rivers NSW, & this rain/flood event is as a result of what is called an East Coast Low, this event is continuing across a very wide area - even down to Sydney environs, the Emergency Service workers are absolute legends!

I'm about 50 metres above the river, Longtime locals say it is the highest they have seen it - for this particular area, & the photo shows that it is a natural floodplain - I've only been at my current location for 4 years, when first moved in, it was drought conditions - a land of extremes, & each flood event has its own varying characteristics & effects...

it will also depend on whether you have installed the Microsoft MFS or Steam version of MFS…

it even becomes more complicated than that, I believe, purchased the official basic Reno pack on Xbox Marketplace - & it has not been made available on my PC Steam MFS version - even though my gamertag is exactly the same, go figure…
