I wonder if MSFS has SimConnect? If not and they have something completely different, it will take even longer for Vatsim to arrive on that platform. 1 Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Kloess Posted July 24, 2020 at 07:54 AM Posted July 24, 2020 at 07:54 AM That's what I call timing! Yesterday I ordered the upgrades for my PC and was wondering how long I'd have to run FSX on it because of the missing VATSIM client... I guess the answer is: Just long enough to read the first reviews.. Thanks to all developers for making this happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard McDonald Woods Posted July 24, 2020 at 09:51 AM Posted July 24, 2020 at 09:51 AM I am very happy that there will be a synergy between MFS and VATSIM. Without it there would have been an unnecessarily isolated MFS community. However, I cannot but feel that the announcement is little more than hyping a forthcoming link between MFS and VATSIM. Hardly revolutionary❕🤔 Cheers, Richard You are the music, until the music stops. T.S.Eliot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Williams Posted July 24, 2020 at 12:41 PM Posted July 24, 2020 at 12:41 PM (edited) Not surprised by this announcement at all - - not sure why it wouldn't work. Heck, it almost works as is now and it's still simconnect so if it didn't work out of the box I think you would have to be worried about VATSIM's future. Now, as to the new sim...well...

I can't help but laugh at this.. or should I say laugh WITH this. Ever since I started a family, I told myself I wasn't going to build computers anymore, since that was all that I did in my free time, outside of being a linux sysadmin for the past 20something years. So when we had my daughter, I built one last rig, and that was going to be it: Gigabyte Z77N-WIFI miniITX motherboard 8GB Corsair DDR3 1066 memory Sapphire Radeon R9 200 3GB GDDR video card Too many SSDs Intel Core I5-3750K CPU (yes, this is Ivy Bridge!) I went with this setup because of being able to turn this into a Hackintosh if I wanted to. This, running Windows 7 has lasted me through FS9 all the way through P3Dv4.5, with all sliders at max, and I built this in 2011. So for the first time in 9 years I'm contemplating rebuilding this all over again, especially since Macs are going ARM/Apple Silicon (which kills my need for Intel), some software I need for my business dropping support for Windows 7, and now this. In short, I'm right there with you! I think the only things I'm keeping are the SSDs and the case, as I'm staying with the MiniITX form factor. But yeah.. time to contemplate those PC builds, everyone! BL. 1 Brad Littlejohn ZLA Senior Controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSX's own multiplayer servers deliver other players' position reports to your sim with significantly less latency than VATSIM does. I presume FS2020's multiplayer network will too. VATSIM will continue to have position latency on the order of around 5 seconds, for now. A team is working on the FSD server infrastructure with one of the goals being to improve this. Cheers, -R.

It may be refreshing every 1s, but that doesn't mean it's not going from ~6s ago to ~5s ago each time. If improved latency is part of this unveil, that'd be a surprise -- though, surely, a welcome one. Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Kloess Posted July 26, 2020 at 10:01 PM Posted July 26, 2020 at 10:01 PM Two Quick questions to the people who are lucky to be in the alpha group ... Can FSX and MSFS coexist on the same system, and can I install it on a separate disc from the OS? Cheers Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ralph Presumably, like any modern software you can control where it downloads/installs, and other games should not interfere with the MSFS installation.
