  6. Here’s a little video I did of a flight in the free Delta Simulations C-17 along with SayIntentions AI ATC. I tried to cut down the flight sims to make it not go forever. The AI ATC has a ways to go but it’s already better than default ATC (other than the delay) and you’d never get any other ATC program to work with a flight like this. The C-17 is awesome too. My first time to use it in about a year and it’s had some great updates!

  7. I want to briefly share my experiences recently with server-related streaming problems for MSFS, along with the solution I found thanks to others' expertise. I think many of you will relate to this topic. Until about two months ago, I suffered no problem at all streaming all the Bing data and photogrammetry I wanted for MSFS. Everything worked great. No problems at all with my internet connection. Then, for no apparent reason, I started getting warning messages within the sim that my bandwidth was too low to support online data. I was sometimes given a choice whether I wanted to ignore this warning. But many times I was involuntarily taken offline altogether. No Bing…

    My Win 11 setup refused to restart after installing P3Dv6 All was recovered-P3D and XPlane all reinstalled and up and running but my MSFS 2020…….! I am quite experienced having flight simmed for many many years Microsoft has me beat -I can access my Microsoft Account and see my £100 purchase but the Microsoft Store and its X Box minions refuse to let me sign in -security I suppose? I can’t even repurchase as an installation would not be allowed-I tried it with a different sign in procedure-Microsoft refunded the purchase-thank goodness that worked MSFS 2024 will not be for me! xxd09

    I can't find my original post now, but I complained about my sim having a slight but observable stutter, especially seen while taxing on the ground. About every 4 seconds there would be a stutter and you could also see it in the frame counter display. I tried many of the suggestions found here and elsewhere, but could not get rid of the problem. I decided to delete the program and do a fresh download, but to make sure I was rid of any unknown bugs in my system, I did a system restore back to about three weeks ago before doing the fresh download. I then went to the store and did a new download of the program. When it was done, I started the sim and it said there…

  20. .... Then I highly recommend you check out a new scenery by the very talented Kiwi developer Topgunsi. Having flown helicopters in N.Z for a number of years, this little scenery really captures the feel of a 'typical' North Island farm, and is in a great location near Kerikeri. For only $6 U.S, it is full of detail and well worth it, especially coupled with the freeware Kerikeri airport https://flightsim.to/file/63008/bay-of-islands-kerikeri-nzkk His other sceneries are fantastic too. https://www.topgunsi.com/product-page/northland-dairy-farm-nz

    I reported this in another thread but want to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue... This just happened to me this morning - in the middle of startup I get a very fast flash of the Installation Manager? It then disappears so quickly I can barely read it and continues loading without any update or installation sequence running. After I get to the main menu the sim is in windowed mode instead of full screen. It also indicates that I have an unfinished Essential Packages Update. If I click install update it goes back to the Installation Manager screen which flashes for a brief second, fails again and continues until the main menu appears again, whereupo…

The default livery 152 displays no tail number on the exterior. Some of the other planes display the Asobo tail number. Anyone else have this problem?

    How good are these, compared to the free FBW 320 NEO? It's a mix of payware base to buy the LVFR model and then the HS mods... But... Is it good? Systems wise I guess it will be as detailed as the stable release of the FBW? Any comments / suggestions welcome!
