    I hope you can share it with us users.

    I'll likely do another version at some point, this is really for people with home cockpits (with large sub woofers and bass transducers)

    The whole thing is tuned to my setup. You can test it on your system if you want, send me a PM, but I don't want lots of people asking me. It wasn't intended for public release. I won't be home till Friday night, or saturday morning.

    I do have an IAE A319/321 sound mod that I intend to release to the public (soonish)

    Question for any of the devs. After months of tweaking, I've finally finished a sound mod I've been working on for the A350 and tactile bass transducers. The only thing strange I've noticed is that I now get feedback from turbulence (which is great btw). I'm not actually sure what I did to get this to happen. I think it might be part of the 'Cabin shake' section of the TMD file.

    Before I check through every parameter, would any of you know what I adjusted to achieve this?

    More random than real live weather? I got to think about this one. ;)

    Do you think the weather issue is an engine limitation? Similar to how gross weight can't be adjusted without a reload. I love this sim, but the more I use it, the more I worry that many missing features won't appear till Aerofly FS5 ot beyond. By that point, FS2024 will be running at 60+fps in VR with the latest GPUs.

    If you try one time in VR ... you never play in 2 D :)

    The only thing I hate about VR ^^ I had a great home cockpit setup, tried VR once, and could never go back.

    @Op - Quest 3 is the best experience vs price range in my opinion. But I'll be honest, I run an Nvidia 5080 with a very high-end CPU, and I feel a 5090 would be the sweet spot for places like Heathrow. If I were in your position, I wouldn't go anywhere near VR for a year or two. You'll be able to pick a headset and GPU good enough to run everything ultra for a decent price.

    I recently donated to flightsim.org, never used it before, am extremely happy with all the scenery I have downloaded so far. Japan photoreal looks stunning, I've also been doing circuits in the A350 around Antaliya, in VR it is just mind-blowing how real it looks and feels.


    A few questions - Why are there no paywhere developers? Is the market just too small with this sim? Are there any freeware developers who would be willing to do custom scenery for a fee? Eg, Arabian Gulf (Bahrain, Saudi, Abu Dhabi etc. I have no idea how hard it was for the developer to create the Japanese scenery.

    I also downloaded some Egypt scenery, but there are no instructions. Does anyone know where to place these files? - https://flight-sim.org/filebase/index…21-af-eg-egypt/

    Thanks

    Most of the aircraft are configured to be just below Max Landing weight (MLW)

    You have probably been messing around with the INIT-B page. You can double click each weight field to get the correct zero fuel weight and block fuel.

    Gross weight and fuel burn is frozen in this sim (similar to if you are practicing circuits in a full motion sim)

    The A320 weights in the sim -

    zero fuel weight = 52.3T

    Fuel = 7.7T

    Gross weight 60T

    Make sure you assign each separate brake axis. Regarding VR, in all the years I've been flying this sim, I have never had to adjust the viewpoint, just center it.

    I'll add, I've only been flying the A320 and A350, the seat position is correct, perhaps it is different with other aircraft.

    Regarding shimmering, if you have a strong rig, you should be able to max everything. Vulcan seems to be glitchy with stutters, though, and I run a 5080 with a powerful CPU, I stick to OpenGL and max out the settings in the Oculus debug tool. Gives me 90fps and perfect visuals

    Running a 5080 in VR with an Intel 14900K, I've noticed something strange when flying at night with the A350, FPS is always halved.

    I've been doing some tweaking with the ini builds A350 in FS2024, the fps tools I've been using have shown the above issue with the A350 in Aerofly.

    FPS is locked at 90 with the quest 3, easily achievable in VR in the A350, when I switch to night, FPS drops to around 40 (slower than the inibuilds A350) If I switch to any other aircraft in Aerofly, FPS stays locked at 90 (day or night)

    What is it about the A350 that differs? The A320 actually has better night lighting visually and better FPS.

    I don't think my machine is the issue, as it's smooth as silk at an airport like Heathrow. I can be in the middle of nowhere with the A350, and FPS still drops to half at night.


    It seems like a bug with the optimization. I may as well also add, along with night lighting, flickering when you move your head in VR, I've noticed entire clouds can disappear when you move your head :/ This can cause nausea since the cloud is visible in one eye, invisible in the other. Am sticking to flying during the day or at night only with low visibility.

    The sim is amazing, especially in VR. Something I find very strange, though, putting aside the request for rain, RW weather etc etc. This sim doesn't have something very basic - aviation obstruction lights -

    These red lights are all over the place in the real world, especially on buildings situated on approach paths.


    It's bizarre that they would leave that out. This was visible in basic sims back in the 80s

    I normally use the Oculus client to launch the sim, after the last patch, I've been getting some strange CTD's and lock-ups on exit. I decided to try the Steam Beta client, and all is stable. Are there details of what is different in the Beta? The sim seems exactly the same as the regular version.

    I have done multiple long-haul flights with no system issues. Whilst en route to Beijing from Dubai, the aircraft executed an auto emergency decent, MORA was 22,000 ft , I managed to run through the checklist (cabin alt had gone haywire) and diverted to ZUUU, only to find the ILS (LOC) was not aligned with the runway, landed, and called it a night. Not even sure it is reproducible, pics as evidence
