And animated water jets cooling down the launch pad after launch ![]()
Hi again
I have now had a chance to test the new ksc v2 in msfs2024 on my xbox series s, I have the same problem here. Scenery and launch of rockets are a blast and working quite well, but there is no sounds from the rocket or other items in this scenery?
So I guess there is an issue with msfs2024! It is not linked to my PC.
Hi, yes, we noticed the same on our end, and from several other users. This title was developed for MSFS2020, and ported by Microsoft to MSFS2024. Obviously, the porting process (which is out of our hands) is not without its problems. In our tests, the sound in 2024 is audible only when close to the object that emits it, and cuts out when moved further away. Same goes with the visual effects, which seem to cut out after a certain number of particles is reached. This was not observed in 2020, so our best guess is, MSFS2024 is tough on the resource/memory requirements. Both MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 are working with the same SDK, there are no differences between the two platforms in the development of these effects (sound and VFX).
One thing to keep in mind is that MSFS2024 is still an evolving platform. We’ll investigate this further and if there is a fix, we will issue an update.
Somehow I missed your reply and have just now read it. So since I tried with an empty community folder and even successfully downloaded it, I will try disabling addons in my library and report back. Thank you ![]()
I’ve posted the problem on a few sim dev forums, but no response yet.
FSExpo just started so I am following it, as we are featured during FSElite presentation, but I will look into rebuilding a few things inside MSFS2024 and see if that helps.
Quick question. Did you test the sinking issue with SU2 or SU3 Beta? I disabled all my addons and it’s still happening, but as of now I am on SU3 Beta 1.5.10.0.
For 2024, we are on a plain retail release, and not on any beta program, so we test on that only.
Like I was mentioning - MSFS2024 is an evolving platform, and all we can do is hope
the MS port works. Well - it almost did. I will try to fix things which I can reproduce (VFX and SFX issues). I can’t really fix the sinking because it is simply not happening on our side.
I only see a partially sunken crawler in the pair of empty crawlers sitting almost side by side. The south one is sunk in just a few inches. The north one is positioned properly and the motor is running. FS2024.
Very cool add-on! Just got out from spending a couple of hours exploring and having a blast in the Jetson in VR. There’s some cool VR demos of Saturn V launches but what’s different about this is I can fly around and see all sorts of things.
Amazing experience! NASA launched a bunch of rockets today!
Thanks for this scenery!
Issues:
The three sliders in the controller menu don’t have labels for me.
Louder sounds for the crawlers and rocket motors would be good.
It looks like there is a two-stage ignite on the Saturn V like the Space Shuttle. The Saturn V had all engines come up together with no staged ignite.
My apologies. I should have noted I was in the beta. That explains it…lol.
I understand how the sims evolve and all the regressions introduced in the betas. I am also in the 2020 beta and have been since the first 2020 beta.
Speaking of 2020, I didn’t notice the gravel crunching until you mentioned it. So I got close enough to hear it and that’s a very nice added touch..
I also love the sound of the crawler.
Hopefully the sinking will be fixed when SU3 goes final. If not I am sure it will be taken care of. I appreciate all your help and again I apologize for the confusion.
Yeah I worked hard on the gravel crunch
I am a bit OCD with things like that ![]()
Thanks! Yes - I cannot repro the sinking, but what bothers me more is the VFX and SFX cutting out. Do you have problems with these?
Thanks you! Sunken just a few inches is ok - We saw that from the the outset. There ARE small imperfections in the crawlerway even though we have a flatten polygon over it.
Issues:
the three sliders? You mean, the 3 toggle switches on the right edges don’t have the labels on the left? That’s a first I hear of it.
Sounds, yes, in 2024, they cut out not too far from the object, unfortunately.
Two stage ignite - no… Saturn ignites and splits the exhaust (north and south) into the trench at the same time. That’s shown. The 3rd plume you see (more or les centered on the rocket) happens a bit later, and it is supposed to be a plume created by the flames hitting the launch platform, after they get a bit higher and out of the trench. At least, that’s the idea. ![]()
I saw your post in the Dev Forum. So far no issues with VFX or SFX in either sim that I have noticed. But I will test again over the weekend and report back. Can you please give me a list of what I need to look for? I know there is no gravel sound in 2024. Feel free to message me if you wish.
NO issues with rocket engine trail stopping shortly after launch in 2024? And you are on SU3 Beta 2024, right? And, same goes for sounds? You hear the launch sounds from far away?
Please confirm. That would save me a lot of time…
I don’t recall doing a launch with the latest beta 1.15.10.0 until now. The symptoms you described do exist. I need to be really close to the rocket to hear it and I don’t hear anything shortly after liftoff. And the trail does stop after launch.
But I don’t recall this happening with beta 1.5.9.0. I purchased your addon on June 21st. and beta 1.5.9.0 was released on June 20th. Beta 1.5.10.0 was released on June 25th.
Do you use anything that connects to simconnect? There are many issues with addons that use it with the latest beta, and Asobo is aware of it.
I found something interesting when I loaded it up in 2020:
As soon as I spawned the SpaceX building disappeared. And of course I could hear the launch clearly from the VAB and the trail was present.
Just a gentle reminder - this is a discussion topic, and not meant for support issues, which should be conducted through the developer’s support channels.
Thanks!
Sorry, no problem, we’ll move it to the PM.
Ok, let’s pick this up through the PM, sounds good?
Yes that’s fine.
Was this released on msfs2024 as a free update i bought it on msfs and im looking for it on msfs2024, but it doesnt show up in the in-game marketplace when you look for upgrades. Xbox Series X
