VH-KDK Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 What a tremendous image Jack. It looks like you will just make it down in time before that squall hits. Amazing clouds, they look like the long forgotten cauliflower I found in the back of the fridge yesterday! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s in DEV mode. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Fantastic shot, Jack. And I initially thought that would be Sydney Kingsford Smith... I was the one interested in the side details like "dev mode" "SDK update available" and the technical confusion from the window top right... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wain71 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 nice shot Jack, not sure if it worries you but I think in Dev mode the sim does not log your hours... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caluma65 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Great shots Jack. Best 'put the foot down' if you hope to make it in to the terminal building without getting soaked. Cheers, Calum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev mode is an interesting mode. It gives you more information than you can imagine about the state of the sim and it allows you to do some useful things. YEs, SDK update, Software Development Kit, I don't really need it so no need for me to update it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Wain. No worries, I was still in the testing mode, getting camera and flight controls set up but a very good point. I've always found the sims' logbooks fascinating, it's kind of looking through journal entries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded a free add-on that goes in the Community folder called ambitiouspilots-shiftzstats-v114_v87KI.zip and it brings back the Shift+Z functionality. It's very cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was most fortunate in that they built a hangar for while I was on approach so I taxied right in and didn't even get wet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s in DEV mode Hi Jack, nice shot. The box shows that the video card cannot really do it. In the lower part of the red part of the box it's said "limited by gpu". If I go to London with my GTX1060 I will have the same situatuin with the box there. But I only use HD 1920x1080 and it looks like you have a higher resolution. So you will need a 3090 TI....I'm only kidding, don't know what you have but the 3060 seems to be a good offer today, with 12 gb videoram. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought an 8gig 3060ti a while back to replace my 107, I am happy with that, 3 years time I will be 60, I have said to my family I will then spend some descent money on a complete new PC, GPU's might not be so outrageously priced by then... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andiflyit Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 The 1080Ti can do it of course perhaps you must reduce some settings a bit. As far as I experienced it you will get acceptable results with MSFS using settings not more than "high". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have them set as ULTRA as that's what the sim recommended when I first installed it. I'm loath to lose the beauty of it if I go lower however, but I might. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How my eyes perceive it and with the OMDG's it's amazing for how complicated they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Atmospheric shot Jack! Something I learned along the way when adding 3rd party scenery - if it doesn't 'look right', in MSFS go to 'Profile', then select 'Content Manager', then search, for instance, KBOS. Sometimes there will be 2 versions installed , particularly if Asobo has created an 'uprated' KBOS in an Update & you also add a 3rd party KBOS. Delete the one you don't want [I am just using KBOS as an example, there may not be a clash] Asobo airports will show a "Delete' option, 3rd party, being in the Community Folder, will not show that option. You have to remove them via File Manager. Usually you would leave the 3rd party & delete the Asobo version, in a double up. I check all my airport add ons for this.

andiflyit Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 This is an interesting information because I am not very pleased with my KSBA scenery in MSFS and don't really understand that. I'll try that out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I tested my KBOS & it didn't show up. But searching 'Boston' did. So might need to try a few different search terms to locate an airport you know should be there.

I tried it with KBOS, nothing, but Boston, I got just one, it's Orbx Direct's FlyTampa Boston I bought and no other. Going to do this from now on, I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
