[UPDATE 2.0] FlyTampa - KLAS & Las Vegas

Terrible advice indeed. I’ve never used an AMD CPU, and I’m giving a witness to the CPU I’m currently using, and my results. At the end of the day, it’s a matter of preference. To each, their own. Might not be the best advice out there, but calling it a terrible advice is a bit of an overstatement, IMHO.

  • Amsterdam v1.2
  • Athens v1.6
  • Copenhagen v1.7
  • Corfu v1.1

Clearly all updated.

Yes, EKCH is outdated and they’re slow to release new products or upgrades. They do updates, however.

Exactly why you recommending the 14900K is terrible advice, I’m afraid. Neither your personal experience, nor review data support the suggestion. Rather it appears to be solely because it’s next in line to the 13900K.

Anyway, there are plenty of use cases where the 13900K does a great job.
For MSFS though, the 7800X3D is the best CPU, while being £200 ($251) cheaper than the top-end Intel CPUs.

Did fly Tampa fix the ramp elevation issue just east of the D concourse? The area between concourse D and the cargo apron was sunk several feet below the rest of the airport, hopefully this resolved

I’m up to date and dont see no Sphere etc? any ideas?


You need 2.0. Marketplace is behind, as always.

So is it best to purchase it again directly from Flytampa? how long does it take for marketplace to update?

Uhhm, yeah, you definitely need a better CPU to pair with that 4090. For comparison, you driving a Lamborghini with a Honda Civic engine in it.

Live in the marketplace now. Slow as usual to release and to download. But I’m glad it’s on the way now!!

Amazing, FlyTampa! And best thing of all: I can even fly the Fenix over this scenery. I was super happy with EHAM, and now you’re doing it again. Actually, i’m happy with all your airports.
So thanks to FT, but also to MS/Asobo for quickly updating it in the Market Place. Sometimes it takes months.

I just updated on marketplace and sphere is there but it’s black and doesn’t have any animations.

EDIT: it only works from sunset to sunrise for some reason

I recommend not updating if you are on Xbox. I can’t get the SR22 glass to stay on. First load after update was CTD and after 5+ full restarts, it’s black avionics and a stutter fest in the air. I even tried deleting and reinstalling.

The last version I had no issue regardless of the aircraft. I was even able to get a few flights in with the A320 V2 with no issues before they pulled it. I guess this will be deleted or avoided until it’s updated with optimization for Xbox…if they ever do. Anyways just my observation on XSX.

V2 is just amazing looking. It was nice before, but very ‘wow’ now. Animated fountains, billboards, railway and lots of amazing things that mean you could just go for a wander around the strip to explore.

BUT

First flight into KLAS last night & I’m down to 18 FPS on final (Maddog MD82) and I already have a TLOD of 100 on a 3090 @ 4K . Maybe FSLTL AI traffic was the issue as it was ridiculously busy at the time.

EDIT: Back in KLAS this morning (UK time) and it’s midnight Vegas time so not as much AI traffic around and FPS is back up at 40, so looks like it was the AI traffic was causing most of my FPS loss yesterday.

What an amazing backdrop. Genuinely impressive scenery especially at night. The animated billboards everywhere make it very Vegas!






EDIT2: My VRAM utilization (nighttime) gets up to 62% (of 24GB) so about 15GB in KLAS. FPS on departure with FSLTL AI traffic approx 30FPS (Maddog MD-82), 4K, DX11, TAA, VSYNC @ 33% (of 120Hz RR).

I’m on Xbox Series X and with this new Fly Vegas update I now constantly get Black Screens flying into Vegas. I tried uninstalling the city with just the airport and the same thing. So I tried just the city and removed the airport and same thing BS.
With SU13 these were running smoothly for me but now with SU14 and the latest FlyTampa update it’s broken again. Hopefully it’s a quick fix.

Hi. I’m also using Xbox Series X and the latest Vegas update also results in an immediate CTD for me when using anything other than the most basic of aircraft (such as the Cessna 152). I’m usually using the PMDG 737, so the Vegas update has made it unusable for my flying.

Regarding a possible fix that you mention, have you already communicated with FlyTampa to make them aware of the problem?

Flying in VR with PC and KLAS is no worse than it was before SU14.

Chiming in too the city on Xbox is completely broken. Airport works fine. Also strange bugs like no avionics at all and the SR22 mixture lever stops animating. If you can get in the air, there are autogen buildings melding with hand drawn ones without pg, and it’s a complete apocalyptic disaster with pg installed. Luxor is missing too with pg on. It’s a train wreck and unusable in SU 14.

The hard stand parking area east of concourse D and west of the Cargo ramp is still sunken below the rest of the airport. Pretty annoying they can’t fix this

Can you share a screenshot? I’m on XBox too and not seeing any of those issues. Just curious if it could be the planes I’m flying out of there too.
