This is a full flight test recorded. My flying is really getting rusty after 6 months hiatus of flying while focusing in completing the cockpit every weekends. It took almost 12 months to complete. Final build include upgrade of PC to latest config of 7950X3D and 4090 to allow triple 4K with another additional 5 monitors in the cockpit. It push the PC and MSFS2020 to the limits achieving only around 28-40 fps on ground and in the sky.
Got some problem in Auto Pilot mid way need to fly manual and flying low almost crash to ground speed up to poor landing... :) but again a successful full flight test. To know what can be done to improve on the setup and settings. Next thing to do:
1. Delete and reset all caches to reduce stuttering despite FPS is quite OK
2. Setting OBS audio recording settings
3. Setup Top down camera for inset of MCDU shots
Others?
1. DIY Overhead, Pedestal and Main Instrument panels.
2. Winwing A320 Joystick, MFG A320 Rudder Pedal, Modified A320 mini Throttletek Throttle, Java Simulator FCU and MCDU
3. Mosty using Arduino Mega (6 sets) via Mobiflight (awesome apps)
4. Welded metal frame, plywood base, MDF panel enclosures
Monitors
1. 3x 4K 65inch TV running DLSS 3 frame gen, Balance settings got 27-42 fps on ground and in the sky
2. 1600x900 hdmi monitor for PFD ND
3. 1920x1080 hdmi monitor for ECAM
4. 800x600 hdmi MCDU
5. 1280x720 hdmi EFB display
6. 1920x1080 hdmi Utility display for showing various apps incl. Mobiflight, PC Hwinfo, soundpad, JS connect for mcdu and fcu.
