I've never experienced those issues with MSFS, but what you describe could be early signs of drive failure?

Also, make sure you are installing onto an SSD, not an HDD.

[klunkT5]

Yes to this, My install is on it's own 1TB M2 SSD.

[Terry Tibbs]

It’s a newly built pc with a couple of m2 nvme drives..
I’ve had no issues with any of the other games I have installed but I’ve no idea if that means anything really.

It’s a shame because I bought the Vulcan and throwing that thing around at low level in north waves in vr is absolutely spectacular. I may well try to install it again.

I bit the bullet and bought msfs a couple of days ago and for me it’s been a buggy mess.
On a few occasions it’s just crashed to desktop, so I decided to wipe it and do a fresh install only for it to hang when decompressing.
Wouldn’t be quite so bad but it takes bloody hours to download!

Anyone had similar and can shed any light?
I’ve given up in disgust now and gone back to dcs..

Like FS of old it’s a fickle thing I’ve never had any probs but next week maybe different !

[BrettMRC]

Any thoughts on how best to trim the Vulcan out for level flight?

I've not yet found a way to keep the nose wheel down either when giving it the full beans on take off...

Very much a casual player using the Xbox controller on PC.

I noticed on one video I watched that they had the control column fully forward whilst rolling, I guess the wing makes a lot of lift!

[surveyor]

The review I saw said exactly that. Full nose forward..

Has anyone else noticed MSFS taxing the GPU more since the last few updates?

I've noticed serious slow downs and performance issues that never occured before.

Has an MS/Nvidia update turned DX12 on? If you had it off.

I saw big FPS drops in cockpit if I looked at the terminal buildings when I had DX12 on with my previous GPU.

Thanks for that - DX12 Beta was showing in the options, have turned that off and already hearing a lot less fan activity. (It was running flat out on application boot up before!)

In flight everything is back to normal now - so thanks again for the tip!

Just done a couple of flights after signing up for Navigraph should have done it years ago !!

Got my 4060Ti installed, miles better than the 2060 Super, so much more fluid.

Been furnishing my sim shed room, few pictures, a little oil filled radiator and the latest thing, three pub optics going on the wall

In-flight refuelling.

Hey, no drinking and flying.

My flying may seem like I am hammered already.

They are more to jazz it up a bit, was a bit sterile in there.

It’s dry January anyway.

When can I come down for a session ?

[Narcisus]

Anyone have the Turtlebeach Yoke ? Have a brand new one at home that I’m selling for my best mates mum.

Currently use a TM Warthog but I do fly GA and the PMDG 737.

I can’t decide between the TB Yoke the TM 737 Yoke or just sticking with the Warthog.

My main concern is could I be arsed to keep taking it off and on my desk ….
