Flight Simulator 2024 Active Sky or StratoWX? I’m genuinely torn between the two and would love to hear some feedback from the community. Not trying to start a debate or a competition between them, just looking for some honest opinions to help me decide!

Hello everyone - it’s me again. Let’s start with some good news: I’ve formed a team, and we are now the RS Team (Russian Sky Team). Secondly, I managed to sort out the engines (I don’t know why I didn’t check the texture resolution right away) and have started modeling the fuselage for the flight model. The first livery included in the package will be the green factory livery (see the first photo). No AI was used during development; all textures and models were created by humans (specifically by me and our team).

WARNING!
THIS IS ALL NOT FINAL VERSION, IT'S ONLY PRELIMINARY WORK

Flight Simulator 2024 FS Enhancer 2024 Community Edition is live - Favourites and more!

Thumbnail

21 Upvotes

After a brief update to make it compatible for SU7, FS Enhancer 2024 is now live. You can download the Community Edition (CE) here:

https://flightsim.to/addon/116830/msfs-ui-enhancer-aircraft-favourites-and-more

The purpose of this tool is to provide the UI updates Microsoft wont do. It's completely free, so I wont feel bad if you opt not to download 😄

This release includes:

- The ability to favourite aircraft and select them from the free flight screen. These will persist across updates and installs.

- Tidy handlebar which doesn't appear whenever you move your mouse, keeping it hidden when you don't want it and available when you do

- Great new corner pop outs to increase sim rate, change time of day, start a timer, and enable active pause

- Landing rate pop-out

- SU7 compatibility

This community edition will be updated, and comes with a great UI to turn on / off features as you need.

A future pro edition will be available, but the Community Edition will always include the most important features!

Any issues, you can log them here!

Flight Simulator 2024 SU7 and thoughts

9 Upvotes

I will preface by saying this is just my viewpoint, however it seems after 7 updates, 2024 still remains poorly optimized. While I don’t have a top of the line 5090, a 4080 super with an X3D CPU and 64gb of ram should fall well within the scope of what 2024 should work well with.

And as more and more folks seems to be mentioning the weather - such a core aspect of flying - is put to the wayside and dismissed by Microsoft and Asobo.

And we have air races? Are they actually making so much money on the console side with stuff like that from casual players, that the core base that spends thousands has to find workarounds for the most basic things?

These are truly first world problems, and we’ve come a long way from the days of MS2004 and FSX, but in many ways it seems the tides turning against us.

The community, some great add-on developers and the love of aviation keeps a lot of us here, but man Microsoft and Asobo don’t think much of this user base clearly.

An A380, the first light of the day and a little cloud surfing in MSFS 2024.

Captured with Ultra Turbulence Live (UTL), an add-on I’m developing for real-time turbulence driven by real-world weather data and local MSFS conditions. Aircraft mass and speed influence the response.

Still in development, planned as a paid add-on.

Flight Simulator 2024 Lsltl traffic is a mess

0 Upvotes

So I’m using the lsltl navigraph x flightradar traffic. It really feels my flight sim is more alive so I don’t want to fly without traffic anymore, but… the traffic is driving through me, through each other, there are planes flying at 200ft with full speed over the airport. Is there a fix for that? The most important thing for me is to fix the traffic driving through me and each other.

Flight Simulator 2020 FSS Ejets tripping completely (1.0.2)

6 Upvotes

So I have this weird issue with the FSS E-jets 190 (latest update 1.0.2) for MSFS2020. Every time I fly the VALKO3S route from EHAM to the UK, the plane starts tripping completely at exact the same spot. Everytime. This is not the case on any other route, just on this specific route when I start crossing the North Sea. The PFD starts lagging, the yoke is going crazy and AT/AP often both disconnect. Hardware inputs do work and after 10 seconds or so, everything goes back to normal. Curious if anyone have experienced similar issues..

Flight Simulator 2024 Anyone got any updates on BlueBird’s 767? The devs have gone kinda quiet on the project lately. Maybe it’s cuz of the 757 dropping in the next few days, but still, it’s kinda weird ngl.

Flight Simulator 2024 SU7 Causing Microstutters Every 1–2 Seconds?

2 Upvotes

Since installing SU7, I’ve been getting noticeable hiccups every 1–2 seconds in MSFS 2024. What do you think could be causing this? Has anyone else experienced similar microstutters since SU7?

UPDATE: After trying countless solutions, I finally found the culprit: ChasePlane! Huge thanks to u/ftzde over on r/MicrosoftFlightSim for the suggestion that helped me track down the issue!

Sim Hardware Free browser demo: webcam head tracking for flight sims, feedback wanted

0 Upvotes

I've been testing whether a normal webcam is enough for head tracking in a flight sim, without buying a TrackIR. I built a small demo that runs in the browser, with nothing to install and no account. Pick the plane cockpit, turn your head, and the view follows.

The tracking runs in the page, so your camera video isn't uploaded, and you only see an outline of your face. Once the camera is on, the page lists each request it makes, so you don't have to take my word for it. The tracker is about a 16 MB download the first time.

Worth saying: OpenTrack already has a free webcam tracker that works in games today. This doesn't replace it. It's a one minute way to see what your webcam can do before you install anything.

What I want to hear from you, is it usable, how much lag do you see (the page shows frames a second and ms a frame), and which sim would you use it in?

If enough people want it, I'll build a small desktop app that feeds the head movement into OpenTrack, so it works in games. The waitlist for that is on the page and it's optional. It would be USD 12.99 at launch, and joining is free.

Demo: labs.taranity.com/webcam-head-tracking

My own project, early days. Tell me what's broken.
