So unfair. Was waiting the whole evening for this…and then the dog wanted out. :angry:
Came back and saw you won! :trophy:

Stolen Valor!!!

Because they insist in just using 4k textures when there is absolutely no need for it. There should be an option to install 1k or 2k textures, but there isn’t and they said they won’t do it. I converted mine to 2k and it’s much better.

This is a personal thanks to everyone involved in developing FSLTL from a grateful dad. Earlier today daughter No2 flew out to Toronto to spend the next year working and travelling in Canada and the US.

Through the wonders of MSFS, FSLTL and Dave Garwood’s single seat Hunter I was able to follow her
Air Transat flight from Dublin to Toronto in real time, and even with MSFS’s dodgy ATC, hear her flight getting their calls. Of course, it also meant I could scare ATC stupid with some high speed passes :rofl:

That Hunter is great for buzzing around airliners at Mach .85+ and 40,000ft.
It’s one of the most fun ‘analog’ aircraft to fly in the sim. And it’s free.

Agreed; I am normally a lot lower in mine but sometimes it’s nice to see above the clouds!

Finally uninstalled FSLTL. Sim load times with it installed-nearly 5+ minutes. Uninstalled=2:37. While I like the program I can’t justify the traffic for such long load times. Using AI at 30 percent and Aircraft static traffic from the market place. Much more quiet and I don’t need the exact real life air traffic. Now I can just relax and concentrate at flying and still have aircraft at the gates.

Wow! That’s a saving of roughly 6 weeks over a lifetime period of around 70 years :wink:

Haha. I didn’t do the math but you’re probably right hehe. What can I say, I’m an impatient man.

It’s not only about a real traffic. Default AI touches down in the middle of the runway completely missing the touch down zone. IRL it would be go-around.

AIFlow/AIGround. Landing issue between that and FSLTL has been fixed for over 2 months now.

Thats why I have it set at about 30. I could even go lower. As long as I have some aircraft around I’m fine with that. Other traffic just ain’t that important to me nor is continuous chatter. Call me a loner haha. What I can’t deal with is 5 minutes to load the sim.

Lead me to the instructions please :pray:

It’s almost 2x longer than on my system with FSLTL on. Just measured and it was 2m50s from clicking start in Steam to the main menu.

I used AI Texture Optimizer. Instructions and download link here:

Update today with around 800MB in size. Can anyone provide a changelog please ? I don’t want to go to Discord. ( I still hate it)

Thanks.

  • Contact point updates to help with ‘bobble’ on taxi and the ATR in FSHud having engines toggle on and off while parked
  • Lighting updates to reduce beacon intensity at a distance

** We urgently need 3d modelers with experience of creating aircraft models in blender. Without new team members in this space, there will be no new models going forward. If this is you - contact an admin! **

Thanks mate.

Forgive my ignorance, what is VMR?

It’s for model matching on Vatsim I believe.
