It's sad to see people being discouraged or spending money on what they don't need simply because someone tries to guess whether something works or not. At least the guy deleted the messages.

Very nice. Trying nvidia settings DSR 4 with smoothing off could give a good indication of how well your PC could perform at 4k, I bet it would be pretty good.

Nice Xeon setup PC, you make it yourself? I ruined a Xeon 🤡 trying an upgrade but got a nice i7 which barely even ticks over in 4K FS4.

Yes, I bought second hand parts and some brand new chinese parts. Not bad spending less than 300 euros.

He isn't.

It is possible. If you don't have the same hardware, stop insisting:

And the performance is not the maximum as I was running the OBS for the video capture.
Probably 4K will reduce the performance by half, so 60 fps is still good enough for a flightsim "game".

I can provide you with a video showing my performance with the 1660 Super. Yesterday testing 1920x1080 (I never mentioned I am playing 4k), ULTRA settings landing the 777 at ELXX, more than 90 fps. It will most likely run 4k at around 50 fps at least, but I have not 4k screen for testing.

Talking about our friend, he told me in private that his processor has integrated graphics chip, so I do believe the problem is the graphics card in use. Most likely it's using the video integrated on processor, not the dedicated chip. Is it possible on desktop?

Douglas, you didn't say how many fps you have.

Another sugestion I would give you for the graphics card model. A RX 6600 wouldn't be much difference to the AFFS4 and it costs 50% less. But I still think the 1660 Super would be enough.

I tried running in ultra and the results were graphically not good at all. In the Nvidia control panel, everything is default. I wouldn't know the first thing about playing with those settings in there because I'm not GPU savvy, PC savvy, " yes". No VR, and yes, running in 4k on a 50" Samsung 690 UHD HDR etc. etc.

What do you mean by "I tried running in ultra and the results were graphically not good at all."? Image quality, frames per second...?
Do you know on how to use the MSI Afterburner to check the CPU, GPU, frames, etc?

Please, send us some screenshots presenting the CPU usage, GPU usage, FPS and the AFFS 4 settings, so we can see if something is wrong.

The 1660 Super is more than enough for the sim if not using VR or 4K.

I'm planning to upgrade from my GTX 1660 SUPER GDDR6, 6gig video card to a Asus Duel NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4060 OC 8gig, GDDR6X video card.

Any thoughts from the forum if this will be a good upgrade...?🤔

I also plan to upgrade my RAM from 16gig to 32. The goal is to run FS4 in " ULTRA instead of "LOW" which I'm doing now. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Just a question: Really do you need low settings with a GTX 1660 Super? Are your trying VR or 4K resolution?

I can run AFFS 4 with my 1660 Super on Ultra with no problems.

Hello iPacs Team,

Something that has always caught my attention in Aerofly and that perhaps unconsciously affects our sense of realism in the simulation is the colour of the sky.

I don't know if it is just my perception, maybe more people notice it, I think the colour is a little pink or a very light blue, when it could be a deeper blue.

I believe it is a simple change, at least to be tested.

I also noticed the sun, especially at sunset and sunrise, it has a lot of that ray effect (I'm not talking about lens flare), when it could be more realistic (and more beautiful too) if it had less.

And I also notice that the cockpit are very clear, even when flying against the sun, the whole cockpit is very visible and could be darker with more contrast (the cockpit itself, not the panels/screens). That would give a more realistic visual impression in my opinion.

I hope the suggestions be useful and appreciated.

Have a good weekend and thank you!

Very interesting. Could you please send me the link of this application? It is new for me.

Sorry, I can't help you.

Is it not also supported with macOS? Anyway, it works great for me on the Mac.

Officially it is not supported, but works...

I would love to see this baby on Aerofly FS 4:

Quote from Olsby

So I had an issue where I couldn't get the throttle lower than 20 % on my throttle quadrant, it wanted me to use the full range of the axis, that includes the beta range. So I went along trying to calibrate it, to no avail, the calibration menu exits as soon as I hit a detent.. then I tried to remove all axis and key assignments and try to calibrate again, again it exits the calibration menu. Is there some trick I need to do to make it work correctly ?

The position iddle is not the position zero with this quadrant.
The range starts from full reverse position.

The problem in your side probably is because you are trying to use in on Linux since the product is not officially supported with another OS than Windows.

Ah, thats why its that way the sound. Easy fix after work tonight.

As far as the stick is concerned....

I was getting tired of the logitech pentiometers in the 3D Pro stick being a bit jumpy. The 3D printed ball mod was an excellent upgrade for it, but I was craving something more smooth, and this *new* airbus stick fits the bill for me. I had one before (the PC only version), but sold it with the complete captains setup I had including the TM headset and rudder pedals. Cant stand having my feet locked onto those rudder pedals, I prefer twist rudder on a stick. Personal preference.

Update: Sound fixed. Simple mouse click in the drop down sound menu.

Thank you sir for the advice

Welcome!

I love to fly the Aerofly 744.
Only points I would suggest are the sounds and external textures.

At this moment AF FS 4 is my preferred too. Nothing works properly in the "other side of the force".

Just suggesting. On MSFS you will not have it working properly without the manufacturer driver.

Some joysticks can have a better behavior on axis and smaller dead zones. In case of the TCA quadrant (which is not your case I know), this improves the synchronisation of the two throttle levers and only with the driver instaled you can have the virtual buttons working. If I remember, it is necessary on AF FS 4 as well (for the quadrant).
If you have any malfunction playing another game, first thing the device support will ask you is to install the driver.

But, of course, If it is working fine for you on AF FS 4 and you only fly on AF, perfect!

Check the throttle mapping inside AF FS 4 control settings.
Maybe you have two devices assigned to control the same action, the throttle in this case. I would suggest you to delete the assigned controls to the throttle and redo it.

It depends.
On MSFS it is always a good idea to have the updated drivers installed from the Thrustmaster support website.
On AF FS 4, the simulator can apply the default settings even using the Microsoft Windows drivers.

Particularly, I thing it is a good idea to install the Thrustmaster driver, why not? It is so simple to do.

You dont need to plug the speakers to the sidestick necessarily.
It happens because when you plug the joystick for the first time your PC will automatically change the "sound card" in use to the TCA device.
You just need to change back the sound card in use to the card you were using before plugging the joystick.

So you can plug for example your prefered wired headset to the joystick. When you would like to have the sound from the speakers (connected to the PC port), just select the proper PC card to have it in the sound icon close to the Windows clock. And when you want to use the headset plugged to the joystick, just select TCA as sound card.
On MSFS you can use the TCA sound card only for the ATC sounds.

Talking about the joystick itself, its better than the old only PC compatible model, since now the rudder axis uses a sensor instead of the old model potentiometer.

I didn’t have time yet, still on Christmas holiday

Enjoy your holiday, not a big issue ! 😉
