    Even though on Avsim we are usually focused on payware aircraft, the fantastic freeware mods available in MSFS (in particular WT's and FBW's efforts) have brought some of the default aircraft to a very decent level. With that in mind, what 3 aircraft, whether Airliner / Bizjet / Turboprop / 'Bug smasher' / Rotary wing / Glider, would you like to see as default versions in MSFS2024? . Taking inspiration from the default aircraft of flight sims past, mine would be: Dash 8 (any variant) Learjet 45 777-300

    I never used TrackIR, but now considering buying Tobii Eye Tracker 5, because it seems more comfortable. Would you say it's worth it? There were options to built your own Freetrack, that never worked for me. Are there reliable and easy options to built such a things by yourself or would you just by that think without any headache?

    I've had an issue a few times where white memo messages do not appear on the EICAS (SEATBELTS ON / AUTOBRAKE RTO / APU RUNNING etc.). This is on the updated WT 787. Any ideas? Thanks

  8. I'm in the FSHud beta since nearly the beginning. I'm beta tester since a long time for several companies, like A2A, FSReborn, Hifi back then, SimStarter and so on. But that is the first time I get banned for my opinion 😶 The tone of the FSHud dev was a bit rough from the beginning. But now, after some weeks, where I can see, that FSHud got more and more bugs, I posted a thread with a video of the current state of FSHUD. But have a look yourself: I'm sure, when you look at what FSHud currently produces, you would be also get a little bit frustrated. So, after a few minutes I was banned from the beta forum (ok, c…

    I want to train landing in the fenix especielly flare without flying a whole pattern. I recorded a flight on short final with FSRecorder but when I use the FSR to load the aircraft to the short approach point to continue flying from the manually without replay, pitch trim needs to be set manually (according to PFD). Is there a way around this, so I can fly the plane with the save configuration to practice ths as in FSX back then?

    Fenix still has simbrief lat/long parsing error. I tried several variations of simbrief generated KSEA-PHNL, but Fenix can't export simbrief flight plan giving parsing error. In contrast, PMDG does good job and have no problem exporting same simbrief flight plan. Does anyone know hot to battle this problem with Fenix?

  19. Details directly from their Discord Announcement. (This Mod seems only applicable to the lvfr a318. YMMV. TANSTAAFL) Hey @everyone So the day that you may have been waiting for now is upon us. As of right now the v2.0.0 version of the Airbus A318 is live on flightsim.to, alongside the updated GSX profiles for the aircraft as well. You can find the changelog below as to what has changed compared to the previous release. Small Disclaimer for now only the A318 is released as we're going to drop the updates gradually to make sure that there are no emerging issues that would affect all of the other aircraft also and so that we can gather valuable feedback …

    I’d like to be able to set my elevator TRIM at 0% and when I start up again tomorrow, see my trim setting at 0%. This is just one setting I would like to make and SAVE! I can’t seem to see a way to do that in MSFS. I would also like to see Live Weather active when I start the sim, rather than having to set it manually. I have tried to research an answer to this query but I haven’t found an answer that is specific to this kind of save procedure. I use both P3d and MSFS daily, but have found myself starting to get more VFR flying in lately. This is where MSFS excels in my opinion. Stan

  21. Hello,I have a gaming Laptop with a i9-13900HX, RTX4080 and 64GB RAMIf I use DX12, NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution (Balanced) and Frame Generation ON, TLOD 100 and the rest as a mix of Ultra and High I get a Frames above 120 ( idicated by MSI afterburner). But the frames jumping around between 60 and the 120’s. I’m not sure what is the optimal setting in MSFS and what I need to select in the Nvidia CP? (At the moment in the CP everything is default) I read a lot of entries here in the forum but most of them are related to a Desktop and not to a Laptop. The refresh rate of the Laptop is selectable for 240hz and 60hz so I’m not sure what is the best to choose.So i really appre…

  24. Business-wise the Cessna 172 likely makes the most sense to do next if A2A wants to "strike while the iron is hot", and customer interest and curiosity is at its peak. Also, for the following reasons: 1. Before competition develops 2. Prior experience to developing the 172. Manual is basically done 3. Employee attrition (before anyone quits, retires, or dies off) 4. Before technology changes (eg. MSFS SDK) 5. The popularity of the 172 as a trainer 6. Lots of customers still with unspent funds for the hobby 7. Quick development can be timed with release of MSFS 2024

    I am trying to find what the condenses is on everyone's most used weather preference for MSFS. I have used the MSFS weather, Rex Weather Force and XEnviro. What if those were your only choice would you most likely use? Lately I've been going back and forth between weatherforce and MSFS weather. Thanks in advance. I know the weather system in MSFS is very random at times. Just looking for consistancy. Thanks in advance.
