INTRODUCTION
NOVEMBER 2022 DO NOT DUPLICATE For Simulator Use Only
To access this feature, bring up the CDU and then press MENU, then
PMDG SETUP, then AIRCRAFT, then FAILURES. Select the ALL
SYSTEMS page at LSK 2L:
When service-based failures are enabled, the RATE field at LSK 3R
allows entry of any number from 1 to 1024. This will accelerate the
aircraft’s aging and you should see more frequent failures in terms of real
usage time.
Some annunciator lights fade in/out instead of instant on/off:
In the case of certain lights slowly fading in/out versus illuminating
instantly or going out instantly, such as the MCP command and warning
lights, this is due to TAA rendering in MSFS. It’s a super high quality anti-
aliasing but comes at the expense of slow refresh rate on emissive and/or
transparent objects such as the MCP lights. Another example is if you
look at the sheepskin seat cushion and move the arm rest up and down,
you see this slow refreshing artifact.
Using DLAA rendering as opposed to TAA eliminates the issue but then
you have weird rendering artifacts on transparent objects and a rougher
anti-aliasing on edges.
According to Asobo DLAA will be drastically improved with the
introduction of native DX12 implementation in a future sim update. For the
moment we suggest that you choose what works best for you – if you are
OK with these lights fading in/out, TAA will give you a better-quality
experience all round. Otherwise, you can choose to use DLAA, where the
lights will instantaneous, but the penalty will somewhat lesser quality in
your overall experience.
SHIFT + 3 Keyboard Shortcut Toggles Marker Beacon Sound:
It is, in some instance, possible that Shift+3 has two different assignments
in MSFS by default:
1. View change in the cockpit
2. Marker Beacon volume knob ON/OFF on the ACP panel.
If you press Shift+3 to change the view, you will toggle the marker beacon
volume on/off at the same time. We recommend that you reassign either
the view change or marker beacon shortcut to another key to prevent this
conflict.
