  1. Thanks. I switch to east coast and got the remaining post-SU6 files that were in limbo. I do have some concern about the state of my sim at this point with so many failed/partial installations. Guess we'll see. 😕
  2. Just saw this in another thread. [KNOWN ISSUE] Download loops - Community / News and Announcements - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums Looks like they gone done f'ed it up. Again. Smh. C'mon guys. You want to build your game on a streaming-content platform, at least figure out how to get the car started.
  3. I dropped my connection speed all the way down to 10mbit and it's still tanking. It's actually worse now. I can't pull anything down from the servers...it'll start, download a few MB, then reset the connection and restart. I am perpetually stuck in this half-installed limbo now. I've never had this before, but it seems with this last service update, I am sunk. Is there a cache of downloaded content I can just blow away or rename. Maybe there's corruption in the package file(s) which it cannot overcome causing it to fail checksums or something.
  4. My speeds seemed good for me but the connection resets were just terrible and it took a considerable amount of time after starting the sim for the marketplace to even show up as "online". I will try a bit later this evening. It would be nice if there was a dashboard which showed the server status.
  5. Is there a status page for the marketplace servers anywhere? I am trying to pull down this last round of world updates, and I'll be 0.5GB into a package download and it will reset and start the download over from the beginning...over and over and over and over again failing at the same point in the download. it just keeps looping and pulling the same portion of the package over and over again without reaching completion - stopping/resetting at the exact same place every time. This is just killing my data usage with my ISP. I did try downloading a 3GB ISO file from a Microsoft server and it pulled (very expeditiously) without a hitch. No other internet connectivity issues on my end.
  6. I have the Aurora R11 with a 3090 and this sim flows like a hot knife through butter with everything maxxed full tilt. The 30xx card will be your better bet. Remember, you can always add another 30xx card later in SLI when the prices come down. Just be sure you get the 1000W power supply. This is a 375W video card! A higher end GPU will benefit from a higher end CPU and the faster Hyper-X RAM as well. No point in putting a 357 in a 78' Datsun unless you have a thing for clown cars.
  7. This worked out well. Took off and landed in a 25 kt cross-wind. Infinitely better experience. The only annoyance, as you noted, was the notable "rudder pop" you get the moment you go airborne and the roll-out rudder assist drops out.
  8. If that addresses this issue, I'll definitely give this a go. I enjoy the challenge of crosswind landings and/or landing with a side-slip, but the "Breath of God" that is applied immediately on touch down just robs you of the satisfaction of a solid landing. Does anyone know if this issue is even on Asobo's radar or do they believe this is "well modeled"?
  9. I was just about to start a thread on the matter of the insane x-wind weathervaning effect modeled in the sim. The takeoff and landing roll is like an invisible hand of god pushing on the aircraft. The Ikon is barely controllable in a 5kt crosswind. Is there a flight_model.cfg setting that will subdue this obnoxious tendency (or disable it entirely if it cannot be tamed).
  10. Reactivity adds some latency between when you apply an input at the control and the response on the control surfaces of the aircraft. This is something you probably want to tune on a per-aircraft basis. If you adjust it too dramatically, the controls might feel slushy and unresponsive. If you set it to something extreme (< 25%) you'll feel the effect immediately; I doubt you'll enjoy it. 75%-80% seems to be a good balance for me but I'm still tweaking. A lot will be personal preference depending on how much physical resistance your yoke/stick offers and hardware latency it has. With my yoke, it offers too little resistance and makes precision inputs problematic - dialing back the reactivity makes things a bit less "spastic" and allows me to ease into a bank or a pitch adjustment. The extreme zone adjustment just flattens the acceleration curve....basically they lower the maximum deflection at the input extremes. The consequence of this is that you get a bit finer resolution in the range of control motion that you actually care about when flying the aircraft. The downside is that you lose the full range of motion which you probably care about if you're flying acrobatic aircraft and need that full control deflection.
  11. I assume you meant CPU utilization, but yes, performance is down, and my CPU is working overtime now and fans were screaming up a storm post-patch
  12. Thanks, Rob. Yeah, I took it for a spin last night and didn't notice anything unusual. Someone reported that the taxi lights were shining up into the cockpit, but that was not my experience either. I did notice some strange behavior IMMEDIATELY after applying the patch (as I had left the Bonanza in my Community folder when the update was applied). Restarting the sim resolved any issues I may have had. The A/P tracking seems to have improved to the point of being usable again - so yay for that. FWIW, I found that dialing back the reactivity just a touch and dampening the extremes creates a smoother control input profile for my yoke that makes this an even greater joy to fly. Probably not the settings you want if flying an aerobatic aircraft, but for GA, it's a nice add to the sim.
  13. Thank you both. Did not need to be pulling 25GB every week with every micro patch. Lesson learned.
  14. Well the instructions say to install them to: Packages\Official\xxx\fs-base\vegetation How would I install these to the community folder? Do I need to create a parallel folder hierarchy or can I just extract the modified "vegitation" folder directly to community and have the game pick it up?
