r/flightsim

Hallo, ik ben aan het overwegen om een PMDG 777 variant te kopen. Alleen weet ik niet zeker welke variant ik wil. Ik vlieg nu vooral short-haul met 737, maar ik wil ook wel medium-haul en long-haul gaan doen met een groter vliegtuig. Welke variant raden jullie aan en waarom?

Bonus points for aircraft featuring old low bypass engines or some turbo jets! Converting jet fuel into smoke and noise ;)

I already have the following:

JustFlight Fokker 28 - Rolls Royce Spey engine (my favorite!)

Justflight Hawk - Rolls Royce Adour engine

Justflight Vulcan - Rolls Royce Olympus engine

FSS 727 - JT8D

Maddog MD80 - JT8D (waiting on Immersive Audio sounds though)

Inibuilds TriStar - RB211

FlySimWare Lear 35A - Garrett GFE731

XP11 FJS 727 and 737-200 - P&W JT8D

XP12 - Felis 747-200 freighter w/ GE CF6 engines

I have all the modern airliners too for both sims, I just love some of these older and more interesting jets and I'd love to discover even more to fly and enjoy, especially with good engine simulation and sounds of these older engines!!

I guess with the amount of controls you use in star citizen would be fun. Or simpler

​I've been thinking about how much a pilot's training environment shapes their actual skill level.

​Does flying in areas with heavy mountainous terrain, crazy unpredictable weather, and high density altitudes inherently make someone a sharper, "better" pilot compared to someone who did all their training in the flat, open spaces of the US midwest?

​Obviously, US airspace and ATC are complex, but purely from a stick-and-rudder, decision-making standpoint, does a tough environment build superior pilots, or does excellent training level the playing field regardless of the geography?

Hey guys,
last year i was considering an GPU upgrade from a RX6900XT reference design card.
Based on Reddit posts, i went with a RTX5070Ti, also to be capable of playing in VR with my Meta Quest.

I only play in VR with my Meta Quest 3 but i still have the 'issue' that my MFDs of the h145 hpg heli are blurry and also the enviroment could be improved according to graphics, especially when flying low it is kind of ghosting.

furthermore, i also set the VR Quest 3 field of view to 95% horizontally and 94% vertically, so narrowing down the field of view + set foveates rendering to 45 in msfs2024.

So would the rtx4090 be a performance boost so that the quality is significantly better?

My current setup:

amd ryzen 7 5800x3d
64gb ram ddr4-3600 cl16-18-18-38
asus prime rtx5070ti oc
2tb ssd samsung pro990
850w psu

settings for msfs2024:
nvidia super resolution (no taa)
foveated remdering is 45
framerate set to 45 (using autofps also set to 45)
Virtual desktop but with a wired connection to the quest 3
graphics are set by autofps + gpu-z

Many thanks for the support.
