NZFF

I didn't get the same photogrammetry experience the YTer did, and eventually I lost power and fell into the water. My Photogrammetry in 2024 was quite a bit worse than 2020 but I found a solution. I switched dynamic setting off. This has improved my experience in Tauranga ...haven't tried Auckland yet though.

Back on topic: Robin, can one make scenery for '24 that will also work nicely in '20 version? Thanks for the vivid mental images.... When I said in another post that we need more NZ scenery, I really meant hey, get stuck in, everyone! I'm definitely retired.... I'm not too sure that I'll keep 2020, but I will look at this if/when I ever release anything for 2024. However by then I'd expect everyone here to have moved on:)

Awesome Robin can't wait to see NZPP sometime in the future. NZ hasn't looked too great so far in 24 but am sure it will get better❤️

Thanks again for doing all the spade-work, Rob. I haven't watched the stream (yet) but I'm fairly certain my take on it will be similar to yours. I'm somewhat dismayed by what's going on at Avsim. It used to be a useful/worthwhile resource, but now it's 99% hot air. So many impatient people that can't (won't) read - or apply simple common sense. I think the problem is that flight sims used to be the domain of fairly intelligent people, quite keen on helping each other out, but is now open (via XBox etc.) to the great unwashed out there - that expect everything to be ultra-simple and available...

I certainly wouldn't judge 2024 on the alpha, that's one of the dangers of this sort of post. We'll have a much better idea in 3 weeks. I'll just repeat my main tip, which has applied to all sims I've used since 2000 -- never install to the default location. As Adam says, MSFS has been a good choice so far. I loved the look of the alpha and the performance, but I also noticed a few weird things which hopefully the release version will have fixed. I have P3D v6, X-plane 11 and 12, FSX and MSFS installed, but I only fly in MSFS. I think that 2024 will be my go-to from day 1 (being the day I...

The problem has been solved by someone who volunteered to widen and extend the runway of NZCI. Now I am downloading and installing the Texel livery for TDS 737. Hope to fly soon! Regards, Aharon

Does Google Maps provide you with your moving aircraft position on it or just a track line with waypoints on it? Cowpatz, Great question and excellent point. It is the former as I need for my screenshot flight report writings. Simbrief has mapping but it has zoom in limitations meaning I would not get names of cities, rivers, lakes, mountains, highways, bridges, buildings, and so on. GoogleMyMaps using KML files from Simbrief SOLVES the problem Regards, Aharon

Here, the router is set up to serve the home office at the other end of the house, so there's another old router attached to it, which is a lot slower, but is more reliable. So I normally get 11Mbps. The alpha worked great on this, but I'd like it a bit quicker for the release version. I am hoping to improve things a bit, but at least I know it'll work. Yes, you can use a cache just like 2020, and choose what you load there, and you can also download some things locally. At one stage with the alpha, I was zooming the drone around Italy, at a ridiculous speed, and the scenery managed to keep...

3 or 4 years :lol: :lol: :lol: Well that is the time that MS2020/2024 will have ALL planes that FSX has. For eg, Tridents, BAC1-111s, DC-10s, 707s, 747s, L1011s, 727s, DC-8s, and so on. FSX has all planes that MS2020/2024 do not even have hence me waiting 3 or 4 more years. Regards, Aharon I'm not quite so sure about that Aharon. There has been quite a bit of discussion about the next PMDG project being a 747-100 series. Many of the various forum comments suggest that it is too old school, and along with being a study level "steam driven" machine, too difficult (ie effort needed) to...

Yes, you can only sell your soul once, and mine belongs to Microsoft. This goes back to the time they flew me to Sydney, picked me up in a limo and took me to the hotel with a bunch of 'MVPs' -- ordinary folk like me -- and looked after us very well while asking us how to deal with their user base, without being inundated with garbage. I do think that the way that MS handle their flight sim, with Jorg doing his bit from the top down, is a direct result of these talks. So I haven't 'googled' for a long time, although I refuse to say I've 'Binged' today. I still have my old Windows phones,...

Yes.
