SWA4420

This thread has strayed from my original post...is anyone else experiencing such bad VR performance? Thx, Jim

@MVIrony - must be nice having your system! Out of curiosity, what is your PSU's rating? 1000W or more? I think mine is 900....

Hi MVIrony - your video card --> a 4090...mine is a 4070...I'd say that is the main difference in performance between your system and mine! (At a cost of $2500+ more).

Hi Coop - the 4K ones. Jim

Hi - nice plane, but VR performance is very bad, about the worst, if not the worst of all my addon aircraft. I'm using the latest XP12 release (12/24/24) and your latest 1.0.2 version also released 12/24/24. Quest 3 with airlink is an absolute no-go, and plugged in w/link cable is still very bad. My machine specs: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900KF 3.00 GHz, 64.0 GB RAM, Win11 home 12H2 build, and RTX 4070 GPU w/11 GB VRAM (I think that's the VRAM count) HDR is off. Would replacing my GPU with a 4080 (or even a 4090) help performance? My XP settings are all "average"/mid range for VR performance sake. Is anyone else experiencing such bad VR performance? Thanks, and Merry Christmas to all, Jim

Hi Jan, I just completed a successful flight (KLAS-KLAX @ FL240) with no pitch problems, using VS to initiate and modify FPM when needed to maintain the proper glide, so that seems to be the key/best way to manage descent....which is basically the same way I do it in XP11. Roger that about FLCH! Thanks, Jim

I had the same menu popping issue on both test flights while in VR. I did not switch back to 2D, so no crashes. It's definitely related to the mouse cursor position in the cockpit. Jim

Hi Jan, The winds stayed pretty consistent as I recall. When I initiated the descent, the plane dove at over 4000 FPM while rocking up and down, then slowly adjusted to the VS value set in the MCP. I hope you will have the same situations happen when you do those flights! Thanks, Jim

Hi Jan, Nose/plane rocking up and down severely, immediately upon initiating descent by VS (also with FLCH). The plane did descend, though. VNAV descent is still not working right for me. Real weather, 290 knots, 107.7 lbs, CG 22.1. I haven't had a chance to do another flight today to provide pics/vid. Something else I forgot about my initial flight KLAX-KLAS --> RNDRZ2 arrival to ILS 26L. At HOGOG, for the ils, the plane stayed on 083 heading and did not turn left to KODSE 020, nor left again at HUXAR 259 degrees. I went to HDG mode and tried to turn, to no avail, so I had to disconnect the AP and fly it manually. Second flight KLAS-KLAX the straight in approach to 24R was ok...no 180 turn needed. You may want to run those two test flights yourself: KLAX-OSHNN1 MISEN RNDRZ2 ILS26L KLAS, and KLAS-RADYR2 BLAQQ SHTNR ANJLL4 ILS24R KLAX. FL250 eastbound, FL240 westbound, real weather. Thanks, Jim

Hi Cameron - this has always been one of my favorite planes, and I know a lot has changed with XP12. I was wondering if anyone else has reported the problem I mentioned during descent using VS/FLC? I know this is the initial release for this platform, and as such, has a few bugs to be squashed! Thanks! Jim

Hi All - after 2 full flights, I have encountered the problem both times of extreme porpoising when engaging either VS or FLCH during descent. VNAV descent is still not what it should be. Has anyone else encountered this problem? That is the main problem I'm having....other than that, it's good to have her in XP12. Also, looking forward to improvements/bug fixes listed, and being able to load the plane and get CG from the menu, and NOT to have to use XP's W&B menu! Thanks for bringing this bird to XP12! Jim

Hi - it's 10:28am in CA, USA....any estimate of when the email with the discount code will be sent?

Roger that, thanks. Jim

Hi Jan - that is great news! (I don't suppose there is any timeline for these yet? ) Thx! Jim

I love the -733, and I was wondering if you all at IXEG would consider completing the Classic series be creating a -400 and particularly a -500 model(s)? I would love it and buy them immediately, as I'm sure many others would as well! Thx, Jim
