So I hate using the FMC in VR and I would much rather use the COM/NAV panel to set my frequency/course with a couple of buttons on my HOTAS setup. Unfortunately when I press the NAV button on the panel the com frequencies disappear and instead of the NAV frequency and course I get a bunch of zeroes. Does the NAV function on the panel even work? Am I missing something?

Can someone help me remove the ridiculous hanging copilot headset 3d model from the cockpit of the 777. I can't find the specific line in the tmd file and it's driving me insane.
Thanks!

We've tried to reproduce this issue with the current Steam version but are unable to see any lag spikes on several devices.
I've created a route from KEDW to KLAX and loaded the C172 at the runway threshold and there was no stutter even on my relatively weak laptop.
Can you please tell us a bit more about where you fly and share a screenshot of the navigation menu?Are the issues still there if you change from Vulkan to OpenGl or vice versa?
What kind of drive is Aerofly FS installed on?
Have you tried to disable your anti-virus software as a test?
So, I ended up wiping the disk and resetting Win10. The problem is pretty much gone, must have been something bad cached in somewhere.
Thank you for taking the time to look into this!

Hmm.... that doesn't look great.
How many user generated airports or sceneries do you use by the way?
Maybe it would be good to check the tm.log file after all. Could you please upload your tm.log file from the user documents Aerofly FS 2 folder for us (either make it a .txt or attach it in a zip file). Thank you!
Thank you for looking into this,
I used to have a couple of custom scenery files and I made some modifications to a few aircraft tmd files but this tm.log is from a fresh vanilla installation.

I forgot to mention that this frame instability is independent of frame rate, even with no FPS cap I get around 220 FPS without a flight plan and 218 down to 210 fluctuating FPS with an active flight plan.
I don't get any abnormal readings in terms of GPU, CPU or disk usage so the issue has to be related to the navigation system trying to do something weird and generating lag spikes.
-
Does it start lagging right away when you enter an origin and destination or does it get worse when waypoints are added? Or is it limited to certain pages, e.g. when browsing the arrivals and departures for an airport, etc.?
Does it affect all aircraft once the route is created or just some (e.g. just airliners)?
the framerate becomes unstable as soon as I add anything to the route, even just a departure runway. This happens in both GA aircraft and Airliners
You can see the difference in frametimes between the a320 parked at KLAS with and without an active flight plan in the attached graphs.

No active flight plan:

The log file is not necessarily going to help us in this case because the stuttering is probably caused by updates in the navigation menu or route navigation code. When you enable the debug overlay with ctrl+f1 what framerate does it show in the lower left corner. Can you please grab a screenshot of the navigation menu with that overlay active?
Thanks!
The stutter does not happen in the navigation menu, it happens in game whenever a route is active, even if I manually input the data in the FMC.

Steam console no longer supports downloading older files. You need a free, 3rd party app for that now. google depotdownloader
Ok so I downloaded an earlier version of the bin64 folder, the issue is still there. if I try to run both the executables and the content from december I get an error message and Steam forces me to go online and update the game.
Honestly this sucks, everything ran perfectly fine in december and now with this navigation stutters it's completely broken and useless.
Also thank you so much to the support team completely ghosting me, not even asking for the tm.log or at least pointing me in the right direction explaining what happens behind the scenes when we activate a flight plan.
Top notch 60€ game customer service.

Why do you need to go back to an older version?
When I set up a route in the Navigation menu the game starts stuttering, this didn't happen back in december
-
I'm trying to roll back to a previous version of the game. I used the steam console method through the "download_depot 434030 434032 1453587901762303020" command to get a december 22 2020 build, unfortunately the result is an error message "manifest not available".
Can someone shed some light on the issue or maybe send me the bin64 folder for a pre jan-21 version?
Thanks

The stutter happens in game whenever I set up a flight plan
-
I'm having a problem, when I set up a flight plan in the navigation screen the game starts stuttering. There's no stutter when I deactivate the flight plan. Also this started happening after a "recent" update.
Never had this problem before, tried a fresh install, switching to steamVR, openGL, lowest settings; nothing works.
Anybody else experiencing this in VR?

I tried your gc map mod with 0.1 on aileron and 0.3 on elevator
Wow, 0.3 on the elevator. How's rotation? At 0.5 with max sensitivity and a crazy amount of trim I can barely get out of shorter runways, with half maximum deflection it's nearly impossible to get out of that crazy 737 tail ground effect.
-
That would be awesome. Thanks
-
Yeah I'm trying to reduce the chunks for performance reasons, it's kind of a pain though. Extracting data from OSM takes forever and I'll end up with post-it notes all over my house
-
I don't remember being able to pull 6 aileron rolls at low altitude in the milviz 737-200 in P3D
I get your logic but nobody has a force feedback yoke that can actually limit control surface movement vs speed (also no force feedback in the game) so it has to be simulated in the code right? The 737 experience should be all about wrestling the yoke on final and that's just not there at the moment.
-
Looks like the 737 is using both ailerons and spoilers irrespective of speed. Lame.
I cut the ailerons/spoliers travel in half with this modification in the custom 737 gc-map I use:
<[tmchannelmap][element][82]
<[string8][FunctionID][Aileron]>
<[string8][InputID][X]>
<[uint64][DeviceUniqueID][1468347801101187030]>
<[string8][DeviceIDString][HOTAS Cougar Joystick]>
<[bool][IsDigital][false]>
<[bool][IsValue][false]>
<[float64][Sign][0.5]>
<[float64][Direction][1]>
It feels pretty good in the 150-200kt range but you lose a bit of roll responsiveness on short final below 135kt.
Considering this is a Frankenstein plane there's nothing wrong with landing at 140kt and flaps 30.

Thanks for the tip ken, I'm using your script to make some streetlight scenery, great stuff.
Increasing the area size helps but I think the problem lies within the engine itself and how it handles draw distance in general, the lights are part of the high-lod radius and that's about half of the total draw distance I think.
Right now the only way to avoid the lights turning on in the distance is to either fly low or decrease the visibility and add some clouds to hide the issue.
-
Is there any way to increase the cultivation draw distance in a config file or something? With everything on ultra the streetlights pop-in is noticeable at around 30nm or so.

It would be nice to find a way to fine tune the roll rate so it doesn't fly like an F-16
