John how do you enable that focus shot with background blur like you've got a wide open aperture setting on a camera?

**Bomber_12th** · August 21st, 2020, 15:14

It's done using the showcase camera, and within the showcase camera options menu under "Drone Focus Mode" you need to set it to either Auto or Manual (if you want to adjust it yourself).

This is the one!

Thank you for the suggestion, DVJ, I will try that!

Here are some last shots for the day of the Cirrus posing among the clouds.

This sim is going to be a bush flyer's dream. This is Manari Strip, in Papua NG. I had the Orbx version of this in P3D, but this seems much more realistic, even if the structures are autogen. There is a clump of trees at the touch down point, but a report was sent.

-Western Digital Black SN750 1TB M.2 NVME SSD
-PNY 500 GB SSD
-SeaSonic 850W Focus Gold PSU
-Fractal Meshify S2 Case (White)

Total Cost including Taxes: Just over $2600 USD.

-My settings are ULTRA EVERYTHING
-Graphic Scaling to 140%
-FXAA
-8x8
-16x AA
-AI Traffic variable but not less than 50% for everything and some are set to 70% like cars and aircraft, airport vehicles and People.
-I have Rolling Cache set to 16 GIB.

I have MSFS 2020 Installed on the Dedicated SSD drive. DCS is installed on the NVME as it requires highest single core speed and fastest loading for the map.

Thanks for the info, I'm in the process of obtaining a new PC, just curious!

Tempted to try and get a 2080Ti if I can find some money hanging from a tree somewhere lol

LOL I heard that it was the result of a typo in an open source map, a user entered 212 storeys instead of 2, and thats how that building came to be!

Hope the lift never breaks!!

Nice plane. I havent MSFS yet. Is this plane in Standard version?

**Bomber_12th** · August 22nd, 2020, 08:30

It's in the Premium Deluxe version (one of the key reasons why I acquired that version of the sim). It is one of three planes in the sim that are fantastic for back-country flying - the Cub Crafters XCub, the Zlin Savage Cub, and the Zlin Shock Ultra.

Thx for reply. Bush flying is what I like it.

I used the program mentioned in this thread over at the MSFS forums (may need to be logged in there to see) :

Some screenshots of the Katana around Fargo.

**Mach3DS** · August 22nd, 2020, 12:04

John I have many hours in the katana IRL. Such a fun plane to fly. 11:1 glide ratio. I once did a simulated engine out at 4k feet and 3nm from the airport and was able to float down the runway for over 2k feet before touch down just to prove how much I could keep it aloft!
