Oh, my fault, sorry.
I take it that you needed around half of my time then, since your connection is twice as fast. Germany is a developing country as far as internet connection goes, many other European countries levae us in the dust regarding digitalization. For German standards I am at the speedy end of things already. At least last time I checked such statistics sometime during last year. Usually the speed is more than good enogh for me. And I do not want an all-out diogitalization anyway, gives too much control and freedom out of hand.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Its confirmed - by the company itself - that PMDG will bring all their four major products into FS20: the 747, the 747, the 777 and the DC-3. It will cost time, no doubt, but it will happen. But then, this sim has come to stay for years, so time may not be the issue. Also leaves me the time to prep for a new, tougher system. Beyond that, more VFR flying over places I know today. I am blown away, completely gone with the winds. The sky! The light, the mood of time and place! The clouds! It alooks so very, very natural. Doing IFR flying with PMDG at 30,000 feet maybe is just a waste of time?! And be warned, America, Skybird is once again coming over you, after many many years since the last time I did so. I still design my mapping profile for my hardware, but once I am done, I will start here at Münster-Osnabrück, and then hop my way in 1-2 hours flights in small planes to the British Isles, nothwards, Shetlands, Iceland, Greenland, and onto the North American continent where I then will criss-cross to my liking before moving up the westcoast to Alsask, the Aleutean islands, and disappear into the horizon again, towards Asia, and then more world beyond that. Each landing place will be the starting place for the next hop next time I continue the journey. Just that this time the jorrney will be visually so uncomparably much more rewarding than ten years ago. Maybe I run a travel diary here.

Always look straight up so that I can recognize you when I fly there again!

A better organised keyboard command list, three pages, easy pritning.
https://cheatography.com/nimasmi/che...ator-2020/pdf/ Found the developm ent app inside the sim and was able to check frames for me in GA planes in German places. 60 fps at medium and high settings, that is more than I expected. Might loose some with airliners, still, good reserves. Bottlenecking alert never turns red, occasionally is yellow, its not the GPU but the CPU. Reminder of my specs: i7 8700K, 32 GB RAM, 1080 TI overclocked and 13 GB RAM. The RAM gets used to one half only, if ever. TrackIR, CH Gear Fighterstick and ProThrottle. So far i did not care to go and find my pedals again, so I am totally unrealistic there . The flight models so far were okay for my taste, but I cannot test and compare them in detail and to reality obviously. If you unleash the hard physics engine in the option, the GA planes seem to hold their ground pretty well. Sounds! Sounds are very good, imo. Better than what I recall from other sims like FSX and XPlane 11. It pays off to spend some time on axis setup tuning, tweaking death zones and bending the reaction curves a bit. I map the HOTAS with later possible VR use (blind for the keyboard) on mind. My first imporession of their hardware setup screen being messy a bit,m was prematrure, I need to apologize to them for first attacking them over it. The interface actually is quite good. And a big plus: all options, everythign, can be changed on the fly, during a runnign flight. Not a single CTD so far. And found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFl...eb2x&context=3

And so I did it, too. Everybody does it. Flying over houses one lived in.
Where we lived in West-Berlin in the 80s. The three squares in the red circle, form left to right: the house door, the front window of the living an dlater my room, and the balcony, in house. FOR COMPARISON: this is how Google Earth shows the same perspective: My school, the Rheingau-Gymnasium. The ground layout they got very right, its just that the building misses two floors and a tower. And Google Earth: Back then it was a very good school, btw, and I think we were really lucky to have had mainly very good teachers and a strong focus on natural sciences. Today, unfortunately, that all seems to be different. Music and langauges are the new centre of attention, science and math and such got cut back.

Valve: Download MSFS time will not deduct from play time refund limit:
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/valve-say...fund-requests/ With a somewhat old beefy laptop from 2015, I'm around the minimum specs. (i5-4210H 2.9 Ghz, Nvidia 840M, 16GB) I guess I could try it, but I'm done with playing slideshows. Unless someone can provide reasonable benchmark videos I'm going to hold off.
