Various Quality of Life fixes.
It's great to see developers that update and take community feed back. That may have convinced me to purchase. ;). Any chance you'll do an update video? Just a short one.
Indeed! It’s great to see. Bar the sounds, I think IRIS fixed up all the faults I found. I did actually post a little addendum video to the end of the review, but obviously that isn’t much use to people that have already seen it haha, so I’ve now posted the link above the changelog ; )
It’s here though, for your benefit: ruclips.net/video/Gb43Lvt4dIY/видео.html
As I say, hats off to IRIS, they’ve fixed almost everything (I didn’t state it in the video, but RPM has been fixed as well). Hope that helps give you an idea anyway : )
Cheers!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations they fixed the sounds in the last patch but only for the first livery. You can edit the aircaft.cfg and fix it for all liveries by copying the sound entry from the first one or just wait on the next patch.
Ah, right you are Glenn!
Strange that they only did the one aircraft, a little admin error perhaps. . . Thanks for the info : )
Thanks, nice plane. "Grob" translates to my language (Russian) as "Coffin":)))
My pleasure Toriy! It is a nice plane - though I can’t imagine Grob are managing to sell too many aircraft in Russia then XD
Cheers!
Thats whaaa ur country’s finna be in soon
Excellent video as always. - But I admit I watched only a part of it.
Not happy with ISIS in P3D - and as always , another simplified and dumbed down aircraft for MSFS.
Spoiled with A2A and DCS, the lack of switch sound effect and vibration on TO power drops my immersion instantly to zero. It is just irritating.
So what is correct quality?
Correct quality is what target audience expect and willing to pay.
Why should a publisher waste hours on research (as A2A do with sensors in real aircraft) - and just throw in items that looks nice, when the target audience does not appreciate it or willing to pay for it. They move to a new aircraft next week anyway.
Hope some day a publisher came up with several edition of same aircraft. Ref Majestic Q400 in 3 versions. Pick the study level you want and willing to pay.
The MSFS do deservers better aircraft. It is really a good sim.
My aircraft for now is PMDG DC6.
I find the Justflight Arrow III - IV immersive
And finally CRJ 700 . It kind of fake study level if you stick to procedures, and not try something like inflight shutdown.
Those 3 aircraft covers my need a quick flight or a more detailed planned flight. And to be honest - I am quite happy as it is.......
Thanks very much once again Øystein!
Fair enough, to each their own of course! As I say, personally I really enjoyed the IRIS G115 in FSX / P3D. In fairness to IRIS, they’ve fixed up almost every issue I brought up during the review and have started work on the switch sounds etc (not sure why that wasn’t done ahead of release - but that always seems to be the way these days doesn’t it. . .)
I like your idea of having different tiers of aircraft, that could actually be a good way to go. I suspect though, that only very few developers have the required skills to produce an A2A level product etc.
As you say, we are starting to see some decent aircraft coming into MSFS, so going forward hopefully there will be an increasing pool of quality products. It’s great you’re enjoying the ones you have anyway : )
Cheers, all the best!
Anyone have an issue with this causing hard crashes?
It's the only aircraft to do that in MSFS for me.
I cant even get in the air, it crashes before i can begin taxi, must be a newer patch with the sim causing problems.
Hi Diego,
I haven’t had a chance to fly the Grob since the last update, but it sounds like you aren’t alone (with the crashes). I guess we’ll have to wait for IRIS Simulations to patch the aircraft, hopefully it doesn’t take them too long. . .
All the best!
I suspect that’s it Hyper. Sim Update 7 must have broken something on the Grob. Hopefully IRIS get it fixed up soon!
Cheers!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations does not crash when you dont touch the avionics, left the Avionics Master switch off for 10 mins flying around and decided to test it, sim crashed immidiately. Hope this info can be passed on.
Ah right. Yeah, must be that Asobo changed something and it’s upset the Tutor’s avionics then (I wonder if it’s that custom little GPS causing the issues). I’ve no doubt the dev is already aware of it. I’ve seen a few other mentions of it elsewhere as well now. Hopefully a fix is in the works.
Thanks for the info! Cheers : )
The grob.... We meet again my old friend although my aircadet days are way behind me ( which is good! I only flew once and the rest of the time was just occupied sweeping up the squadron floor and putting the bins out) I do still remember the old grobs and bulldogs haha!
Lovley to see your vids buddy, and the realism they bring thanks again for the content
Hahaha - I’m wondering if we weren’t on the same squadron Brad XD
I was lucky in that I got to a do a half-decent amount of flying, but I spent 2 nights a week either doing drill, getting shouted at, or playing football - none of which I enjoy. It was usually a combination of all 3 haha. Put me off any ideas of joining the military for about 3 years thereafter ha.
I think the virtual Air Cadets is much more chilled haha. Thanks as always, glad you enjoyed the video! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations No way! Haha
They kept bragging about how one cadet from that squadron managed to become a pilot (probably thier only prized possession) in the RAF but me, I couldn't see it as it was the same as you I never had any actual sporting skills so they hated me in that field (quite literally ;) ) was absolutely rubbish at football, running etc.....
And I was like a Indonesian child labourer for the other half of the time just sweeping up hoovering carpets and getting shouted at probably for not making the tea the right colour hahaha... All this said and done and still they never actually let me go to any camps either!!
So yeah... That's where my air cadet journey ended because after a year and a bit I had enough of that stuff and told them 'politely' to go and shove it up thiers
Hahah thanks for the story buddy! I'm glad someone other than me got that experience
This comment is so accurate 🤣😂 I was lucky enough to have gone to a small squadron where I was the most willing to wake up early and go flying. I was chosen almost every time but drill and football and being shouted at is what I remember the most… it was worth it but enough to put me off and go the civil route. I was lucky enough to get a Gliding scholarship to with then Grob109B which I would love to see come to the sim.
@@IntotheBlueSimulations I remember that the "punishment" of cleaning the van was actually more exciting than being forced to march round a parade square on a Sunday morning.
Hahaha, seems there are few disenfranchised cadets kicking around these parts! Perhaps I need to set us up with some sort of survivors group XD
Bizarrely, very few people on my squadron actually wanted to go flying (I suppose spending 30 mins in the air and the rest of the day sat in a plastic chair was an acquired taste to be fair) so I pretty much got to go every time the opportunity came up. One of our family friends was actually an instructor on the 109B, so I used to pop down to the airfield of my own volition sometimes; I think I did more flying unofficially through the Air Cadets than I did officially haha.
The other thing about flying with the cadets; whenever I went up in the G115, I always seemed to get paired up with a wing commander or some such. They were always perfectly pleasant, but I just spent the whole flight bricking it ha!
I seem to recall FlyingIron have a G109B in X-Plane 11, maybe that’ll get ported over at some point as with the Spit : )
Cheers!
Also, they definitely weren’t paying for “power by the hour” in those 109Bs. We were always told we were going “gliding”. Not once do I recall anyone ever turning the engine off ha! Ahh, good times. . .
Wish asibo would sort that rudder out it's only been two years
Likewise Jep! As much as I enjoy MSFS, I really thought we’d have seen more core improvements to the sim by now. . .
All the best!
Can't wait for IRIS Simulations Pilatus PC-24 for MSFS
I saw IRIS had just come to a deal with Pilatus; that one should be good fun in the sim for sure! : )
Cheers!
wonder why the animation has the pilot in the left seat?
Hello again Stephen,
The military variant has the two pilots modelled I seem to recall, so I presume we are talking about the civilian version? The civilian G115's are indeed flown from the lefthand seat (though I guess IRIS may have used the same cockpits for both variants?). Apologies, it's been a long old while since I've had the opportunity to fly the addon, so the details aren't very fresh in my head haha.
Cheers : )
Another superb review! I was wondering,what it be possible for you to do a video on the Grob flying around the Mach-loop?
Thanks very much Jamie. Glad you enjoyed it!
Were you after a “Mach Loop time trial” run, or just a leisurely flight? I was about to link you to my P3D guided tour video in the Grob, then I remembered you’d already commented on it haha.
I’ll gladly add it to the list of aircraft planned for a Mach Loop time trial! (the list is pretty long now, so it might be a while coming I’m afraid). I may remake the guided tour in MSFS at some point, since P3D doesn’t tend to command many views these days.
Thanks again, all the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations a trial run would be great but I was thinking of a guided tour because I have a habit of getting lost half way around the loop lol! The Tutor would be a perfect aircraft for it. I really enjoy your channel and reviews btw so please keep them coming 🙂
Haha, well then I’m a bit confused; I did indeed do a guided tour of the Mach Loop in the Tutor (in P3D). I was going to send you the link, but it seems you’re already commented on the video hehe? Here’s the link just in case:
ruclips.net/video/WBQb7xh1ulk/видео.html
As I say, I may remake the video at some point in MSFS. 1) I’m sure it will be of more interest to people 2) It’s suprising how different the landscape looks between MSFS and P3D and 3) I’m not too happy with the commentary of the video looking back.
For now though, that’s the best guide I have on the channel I’m afraid.
Thanks you very much for your kind words - great to hear that you’re enjoying the channel! : )
This is how I found your channel! I loved the Grob for FSX. I will try to get it.
Haha, yeah, I actually meant to message you man to say it was out! (as I know you’re a fan as well) - unfortunately I got so busy editing the video that I ran out of time. It’s not quite up to the standards of the FSX version (yet), but the patch fixed quite a few of my issues and it’s great to have it in the sim for sure!
Hopefully see you in the virtual skies again soon! : )
Buddy, I must admit if I may that I really love your reviews. I was never disappointed. My CC whistles me the opposite🤣
I am not shure with this aircraft. I think I wait for some updates.
Thank you and take care.
Haha, I’m sure the credit card will appreciate a rest! ; )
I’m glad you enjoyed the video though. Thank you very much for watching as always! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations the updates are there and... thank you sir... I can't resist🤣
Ah, haha! Memo to self. . . don’t post updates! XD
I have to say, it is a nice offering from IRIS though (especially after the updates) and if they can just sort out those sounds, it’s a top-tier product (although I’ll admit, I do have a bit of a soft sport for the Grob).
If it’s any consolation, this and the C22J came off my credit card as well, I’ll be eating baked beans for the rest of the month now! : P
Hope you’re enjoying it : )
speaking of sounds, I can't get the audio from the vor 1 radio? maybe it's not modelled? is there an autopilot led?
Hello Stephen,
I gather there was actually a bug in the sim, that would cause this issue on occasion. Supposedly it was fixed with Sim Update 11, so hopefully the T.1's audio will now work accordingly? I'm afraid I'm not sure on the AP LED - I don't recall there being one. . .
All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations much obliged for your patience and responses!!
My pleasure Stephen : )
Made it to 03:22 and wOoah man the framerate, the ghosting, I just can't...like, hurts my eyesight, this is unwatchable ! 😧
How unfortunate, what happened man ? You have a decent system over there. 😕
Man look, if you need help with an issue of some kind, please just absolutely count on me. TeamViewer does an amazing job with literally all my clients from all around the world.
And no, nothing money nor anything, I enjoy your channel !
The automated MP4 screen recording of the whole session that folks can just replay in its entirety and actually learn a lot from, well it just brings everything I do even more closer to fulfilling a part of my mission as a scientist - strengthening the computer literacy within our good ol' flight sim community.
Ah, I’m very sorry to hear that Milan!
The framerate seems to be a bit of a sim update 5 issue for me. I find whenever I look through the horizon, I get a noticeable stutter and I believe it’s because not enough scenery is now being cahced. Apparently Asobo will be adding a slider to adjust this in the next sim update. The ghosting is definitely a little bit trickier to nail down. . . Sometimes it’s fine, sometimes it’s not. I think for the most part if comes down to the lighting / colour palette in the sim, vs RUclips compression. Certain sim conditions seem to suffer badly during RUclips compression. The video quality certainly looks better before I upload to RUclips.
That’s very kind of you to offer help and very much appreciated, but I think it’s just a question waiting for the next sim update for now. I also need to look into uploading videos at 2K at some point, see if that improves the RUclips compression situation for me. . .
I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel - hopefully I can have a tinker around and improve the viewing enjoyment somewhat ; )
Thanks again, all the best : )
Not too bad for about 13 quid! I had a Grob Tutor 115E from the Xplane Org and loved flying that it was great fun so will probally pick the T1 up. And agree with the MSFS slippy rudders!
Yeah, I think it’s a decent offering for the price. IRIS fixed up almost all of the issues I raised, with the V2.1 patch as well (just the sounds that still need work), nice to see!
The rudder issue in MSFS is a bit annoying. It’s quite a fundamental problem and it’s been that way since release (maaaybe it’s improved a little in the intervening period to be fair). It needs sorting though - being able to takeoff in a straight line is quite useful after all XD
Cheers mate! : )
The sound is off.
It rather resembles a six cylinder, instead of a 4 vanger.
I love you reviews by the way!😉🤙🏻
Well. . . you have a much better ear than I do! Apparently IRIS are using the default Pitts sounds at the moment, which I gather has a six cylinder engine haha. Good catch! Not quite sure the logic was with that choice from IRIS. . .
Thanks very much! Very happy to hear you’re enjoying the content : )
All the best!
Thanks for this, brought back some CCF memories of flying at the Bristol AEF. I will pick this one up I think.
Thanks Andy, my pleasure!
Yeah, I think this one is a bit of a “must” for any Air Cadets (former or current) - re-live some of those memories a little : )
Happy flying!
john ritchie brisbane aus.thank you for your very help full video.look forward to the next one.
Thanks very much John - my pleasure! I’m glad you found it useful and I look forward to seeing you on the channel again some time soon then : )
All the best!
Do you prefer the Co-Pilot side?
Of course! That’s the seat of the “big boss’ “ seat in the Grob ; )
On the T.1 the PIC generally sits on the right, the student sits on the left (at least in the Air Cadets) - as you can see, the instrument panel is setup to fly it from the right. I’m guessing it’s so that when guys then transition onto fast jets, they are already used to flying right hand on the stick and left on the throttle. On the civilian versions of the G115, it’s the other way around, ie pilot flying sits in the left seat.
Cheers! : )
Nice vid as always IBS !...just reading the comments below ref air cadets. I never even realised there was such a thing as air cadets until I joined the RAF ( tac comms ) , did my training at RAF Cosford and if I remember there was an air cadet branch there, the regulars used to call them space cadets. Shame a few of you got shouted at and were made to sweep up the hangars etc....that was a part of training even for the regulars unfortunately, but once you got to your posting it was just a job with a uniform really. My first 2 weeks at RAF Brize Norton was working for the Station Warrant Officer, filling sandbags, painting anything that didn't move , white kerb stones and green grass lol !!...and this one, I thought they were joking , go to Base Hanger ( massive aircraft hangar at Brize Norton where the jets are serviced ) and polish the fuselage and wings of the VC-10s !! It was all good after that. Chocks away, cheers chaps !! ;-)
Thank you sir, glad you enjoyed it!
Haha yeah, quite a lot of shouting, but I don't think that was really anyone's issue with being in the cadets (and I'm not averse to a bit of manual labour either); I certainly joined the cadets expecting a bit of both.
I'm sure it varied from squadron to squadron, but I found there was a pervasive attitude of us being treated like children. Now sure, we were children haha, but I think most individuals who sign up for such things (myself included) wanted to learn discipline, responsibility, leadership, learn how to fly of course! etc. None of that ever really materialised; we weren't trained, or trusted with much of anything.
The shouting was fine to a point, but it became a bit tedious after 2+ years (there was seemingly no end to "basic training" haha). It was just silly stuff; I got shouted at one week for having a hole in my jumper, which was the condition I had literally just received it in (we got all the old RAF hand-me-downs), I darned it and then got shouted at the next week for having darned it?? On another occasion I got a b*llocking for not volunteering for a swimming competition; never mind that 1) I had never been informed that it was taking place 2) I couldn't swim at the time haha! I know this kind of stuff is common during basic training, but I'm not sure what purpose it served in the cadet environment. There were clearly one or two individuals at my squadron, who simply enjoyed lauding it over kids (there were some amazing individuals as well of course!).
The vast majority of my nights with the cadets were spent doing 1 hour of drill and then playing football. I'm rubbish at football and if playing it had been my interest, I'd have joined a football club! I wanted to be out there doing navigation exercises, teamwork exercises; even polishing aircraft would have been a dream ha!
I do hope this isn't coming across as a moan; I look back on it now with a warm disdain (and a few nice memories) haha : D
There were some fun times, but I joined the ATC because I was keen on joining the military; it put me off for quite a long time thereafter frankly (a shame I feel, looking back). I did subsequently spend some time with the RAF and the RN when I was older (RAF as a civilian and the Navy through University) and it was a whole different story (and quite eye opening!). Loved every minute of it and was treated like an officer and a gentleman throughout! : P
Anyway, banged on a bit there, apologies. Almost like therapy at this point haha.
Signing off - former Space Cadet! Cheers! : )
This is a lovely training aircraft.
It certainly is : )
I can't wait to get a machine that's capable of running FS2020. Iris look to have done an amazing job, I loved the FSX version and at one point they actually gave free downloads of the aircraft to all Air Cadet Squadrons that requested them, great company.
Likewise, one of my favourite aircraft in FSX; and although it still needs a bit of polish to be brought up to the same standards, a very nice effort in MSFS also. I never knew about them giving free copies of the Grob to Air Cadet squadrons. . . what a thoroughly nice thing to do! As a former Air Cadet and lifelong flight sim enthusiast - hats off to IRIS on that one!!
Hope you manage to get an MSFS-capable machine soon then : )
All the best!
What a review. Thanks for this! So is that the original RAF Benson on the sim or is it an add-on? Also how are you moving the POV camera around like that?
Thanks very much Len, glad you enjoyed it! : )
It’s the default RAF Benson (would be great to see an addon version though). The camera work is courtesy of TrackIR. It’s a head tracking device than takes one’s head movement and inputs it into the sim. It’s great, although a little pricey - there are more cost effective solutions also mind you (Freetrack and FaceTrackNoIR spring to mind).
Hope that helps a bit. All the best!
Many thanks for the great video - really liked that you had a personal connection to the aircraft. I think its a smart looking aircraft and I like the cockpit layout - looks very neat and tidy. I also like the noise/pitch of the engine when taking off, in flight etc. She looks a bit squirrely on takeoff but I guess that keeps us honest as sim pilots :-). Did it handle like this in real life on takeoff? All the very best :-)
I have flown this aircraft also. the aircraft doesn't feel as loose as the sim equivalent. It's an MSFS issue as far as i am aware with prop aircraft. the JF arrow collection does the same
@@theflyingwelshman14 yeah the JF Pipers have the same lateral sensibility on the runway.
Thanks James!
Yeah, it’s definitely an aircraft I have a bit of a soft spot for. Flew it a bit with the cadets, but even more so in the civilian world (albeit a slightly different variant). The real thing is lovely to fly; the RAF ones do tend to be kept pretty neat and tidy, as you might imagine. The civilian variants, often not so much haha.
No, the squirrelly takeoff is very much an MSFS thing (which almost every aircraft suffers from). The rudder sensitivity in the sim is generally way over the top at the moment unfortunately. Hopefully Asobo get it fixed up at some point. Other than that though, the plane flies very nicely overall.
Cheers, all the best! : )
Indeed. Unfortunately pretty much everything does in MSFS at the moment haha : /
Yes, sadly most aircraft in the sim are a bit overly sensitive - it’s a bit of an MSFS issue I would say (especially on the rudder). I think the Grob “gets away” with this more than most though, as the controls are obviously a bit sharper than your average GA aircraft anyway. I actually thought the IRIS Grob flew quite nicely compared with a lot of the other GA aircraft in the sim. You weren’t such a fan?
Cheers! : )
Sigh I just want a business jet in msfs that's not an ugly cj4
I’m sure more will come given time : )
Not a fan of the CJ4 either?
@@IntotheBlueSimulations I love what working title has done with the CJ4, but I just find it an ugly aircraft. I literally just reinstalled x-plane and picked up the phenom 300 from Aerobask and god I miss the depth of X-plane so much.
Haha, poor little CJ4! I quite like the aesthetics of it personally (although there are some *much* slicker looking business jets for sure). . . Fair enough though! There’s certainly no modern jets in MSFS yet, that comes close to the likes of X-Plane and P3D offerings (and indeed I still have all 3 sims installed as a result). Haven’t tried the Phenom 300 myself, but it looks excellent!
If it wasn’t for the weather engine, personally I think X-Plane and some Ortho4XP is nearly every bit as good as MSFS (better even in certain ways).
Enjoy the Phenom for now, I’m sure we’ll get a decent business jet in MSFS at some point! : )
Cheers
Where can you find the PDF for operating this aircraft
Hi Ed,
You can find it here: orbx-user-guides.storage.googleapis.com/iris-simulations-tutor-user-guide-f9eee7.pdf
I hope that helps. All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thanks for this, I’ve had a read through it and there’s some bits missing. There’s no step by step guide on how to start up for example. How do you recommend I should lead the plane?
You’re most welcome. If it’s checklist you’re after, you should be able to find everything you need here: freechecklists.net/Resources/Grob/G-115/
That includes a POH and full checklist etc : )
Cheers!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations that’s exactly what I needed thank you! 🤩
Great! No worries : )
Seems IRIS are having problems with the modern sound system for MSFS as they have similar problems with the Jabiru. Also according to the forum thread the engine sounds are just the default sounds from the Pitts Special. Bit of an odd choice too as the Pitts engine is a more powerful 6 cylinder variant of the one the Tutor actually uses. The Robin CAP 10 actually has the same 4 cylinder lycoming so dunno why they didn't use those engine sounds instead. Those control surface sounds sounded a bit default to me as well tbh but my hearing is pretty terrible so could be wrong there. Doesn't really bother me that much though.
Sounds aside (and the minor graphical and other small issues) it doesn't look too bad. Doesn't really appeal much to me though so I'll give it a pass. Now if someone were to release a Bulldog I'd be all over that as it was the plane we had back in my Cadet days! Great video review as always! Your real life experiences really add a lot to your videos. Cheers!
Yes, it seems so, they aren’t the only ones either. I forget who it was now, but I recall another developer had to take on a sound guy, because they just couldn’t figure their way around the new sound engine. That’s unfortunate if it’s not accessible for them, but I would suggest it’s worth outsourcing otherwise; I find myself really missing a proper sound package these days.
That is a strange choice that they weren’t for the Pitts sounds then haha - they aren’t bad sounds, but the CAP10 audio would be more appropriate by the sounds of it then. I thought the controls sounded different, but I don’t have much of a musical ear either. Pretty sure the airframe creaking wasn’t default (again maybe it was, if it’s all just default Pitts), but usually default aircraft sound like the FS98 Sopwith Camel undercarriage noises when you pull any G ha.
Credit to IRIS I must say. V2.1 fixed up just about everything (except the sounds). It’s a nice offering but hey, if it’s not for you, it’s not for you! Never flown a Bulldog, but I’d still like one in the sim. Even more-so a Chipmunk (which I believe is slated already).
Cheers! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations A Chippie would be awesome, loved flying the JF or was it AH version in the older sims. I think it was Black Box who hired someone to implement the modern sounds for them, the Islander sounds even better after they patched it in! I am partially deaf so could explain why the creaks and groans sounded similar to me!
Yes, very much enjoyed that one as well! It was the “JF Chipmunk”, but I believe it was actually developed by AH. Suspect / hope we might see that one back at some point.
Ah! I wasn’t aware Black Box had patched up the Islander to that point. I shall have to give it another fly! ; )
There is a Bulldog available from Black Box Simulation. I really like it but it's been twenty years since I flew in the Bulldog so I'd need someone with recent experience to let me know how authentic it is. I'm loving it!
Govenor not in the run up checklist on this one? Awesome job on the review :)
Haha, you caught me! I was actually using a checklist for the civilian G115, with a fixed pitch prop. It’s the one I’ve flown the most, so I guess force of habit kicked in and I forgot the prop check (funny though, as a I had that nagging feeling I was forgetting something. . .). Good job the instructor wasn’t there, or I’m sure I’d have gotten a slap on the wrist! XD
Glad you enjoyed the review! Thanks very much once again : )
Yessssss 5:39 them famous words :)
FSX / Active Sky 2016 / Active Sky Cloud Art / Orbx Global / Orbx Open LC North America. Best graphics over MSFS2020.
Funny you say that Stewie, cos I was re-watching one of my old P3D vids with the Grob before I made this video;
when I was watching the P3D vid I was thinking “wow, things have moved on so much with MSFS”, but then when I went back into MSFS I thought “huh. Actually the scenery looks worse” haha. That was using Orbx True Earth GB to be fair though.
Personally I think the lighting and weather are drastically better in MSFS, but addon scenery in P3D / FSX vs standard MSFS scenery - I think P3D / FSX still has the edge. . .
Cheers! : )
Where’s the link to the website for purchase?!
store.irissimulations.com.au/product/iris-airforce-series-tutor-t-1-msfs/
There you go Peter. I believe it can also now be purchased through Orbx : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Very grateful, mate.
Thanks Peter - my pleasure! : )
Hmmm, I thought after watching one of your previous videos that was nice and smooth that the CPU upgrade had fixed the choppy videos, but it seems not. What is causing this I wonder.
Haha, damn. I think the CPU did the trick in some respects. Overall the sim is much smoother I think. My issue now is when looking up or down through the horizon. I did a little reading, seems that now the sim isn’t caching much to the memory, it’s getting a bit overwhelmed when scenery comes back into view (great that I bought all that nice speedy RAM haha). I think TrackIR exacerbates the effect which is a pain (I find if I pan more slowly, the issue isn’t noticeable).
Apparently Asobo are going to give us a slider to adjust how much is culled / cached, so hopeful (as ever) I will be able to crank that up a bit with my new RAM and that will eliminate the issue. We’ll see. . .
Cheers!
