    Pardon my terrible clickbait 😁. But I found interesting to share that Blackshark.ai works with Maxar, one of the largest providers of sat imagery, on a high-performance, geotypical representation of the entire planet for gaming, entertainment, virtual reality and metaverse applications. You will tell me that it has nothing to do with MSFS ! Look at the title of the press release "Digital twin of Earth", the words that Neuman and Wloch have been using since day one as their ultimate goal. SYNTH3D | Maxar

  3. I recall seeing a lot of negative feedback about the flight model. Not sure if Asobo/Nemeth changed anything - anyone using it? How does it fly now?

  4. As the pedal disc button is out of view from my chosen landing view position - I would like to bind it to a button - preferably via the paid version of FSUIPC, or if not via MSFS 2020 control options. Can anyone help me as to what 'binding' to use?

    I'd really like to purchase/use the new AN 225, but every time I try to do so, I get the error "something went wrong." I've been looking for a way to contact Miscrosoft to see if a resolution can be found, but no luck so far. Anyone have any ideas how I can resolve this?

    The last couple of days I’ve been flying low level sorties through the Scottish highlands at 420KTS in the IFT M-346, so fancied a change of pace and something a little different. I was browsing on the Just Flight website when I saw the A1R Chilton DW-1A had just been released today. At only £15 I though I’d take a look at it. I’ve spent the afternoon with the sim weather set to one of those balmy, wind free English mid summer evenings in July around 8pm , a typical evening for a display of the shuttleworth collection in fact, thinking about it. I even replaced my current winter rex accuseason trees with the summer set for maximum effect ! I had a couple of …

  10. Im looking into possibly getting a dof h3 unit, in doing so it puts things a bit further from the main pc. Does anyone know to go say 15 feet if an repeater style usb-c cable is needed for the the honeycombs and mfg /crosswinds? Im assuming so, some sort of powered usb-c repeater/extender?

  12. I just want to say, some of the projects being spun off of the FBW source code are amazing. Probably most people know about the Headwind A330, which is based off the FBW source code: https://eu-server.flightsim.to/file/18198/airbus-a330-900neo-conversion. But there is also the LVFR A321, also based off the FBW source code: https://flightsim.to/file/36395/lvfr-a321neo-fbw-compatibility-mod A big thanks to the teams working on the spinoff projects based on the FBW source code. But of course, also a big thanks to the FBW team for making their source code available to other project teams to use. This is how a successful freeware community should operate. New…

  13. Just appeared for me today. Anyone else seeing an increase in scenery stutters today? TIA, -B EDIT: I had installed the latest FBW Experimental and was flying that plane when I experienced the stutters. Removed the FBW and repeating same flight with Longitude and frames are nominal and smooth at 60FPS. I am not trying to insinuate the FBW is a stutter machine because I have many hours in it and I know this not to be the case, almost always stutter free so please don’t blame the FBW plane for my stutter fest of this morning! Regardless, I’m just posting this edit because I brought it up and thought some clarification would be helpful. Seems to be …

  14. .. it may be time to turn it off. WT have been quietly enhancing the look of the GX3 in the sim to the point where it is better looking than the GX mod which has not been updated. If you do not want Synthetic vision, you can turn it off by clicking on the HSI and then selecting "additional options".

    Definitely one of the better mods for the sim but it's started to act weird lately. There's no audio from the ground crew anymore and sometimes after lifting the aircraft it just sits there not moving. I can still see the dialogue from the crew but no sound. The audio option is activated in the settings. I've tried deleting and downloading again and the issues are still there, the no audio bug is 100% of the time. I use it with both the FBW and the PMDG. Even though FBW say that it may cause issues, the only one I notice is when you call the jetway at your destination airport, all the FSLTL traffic around you at the gates disappear, a minor issue I can deal with…

    Very much enjoying the updated TBM 930, amazed they've managed to keep the frame rates reasonable, considering the amount of data on the screens that are constantly updating. My only issue at the moment is I can't get the rudder trim to work. I have to apply left rudder to keep it balanced during the climb and cruise. The rudder trim switch is on the left side of the control column, and I see a left and right circle with an arrow if I hover over it, but pressing mouse buttons, or using the scroll wheel don't seem to have any effect. The elevator and aileron trim work fine, but not the rudder. I've tried binding control column buttons to the rudder trim, and tr…

  19. Hi all, I seem to have a new intermittent problem for the last couple of weeks, I was wondering if anyone else is also experiencing something similar? Essentially if I complete a flight and then return to the main menu I sometimes get this instance where the background will load in (aircraft in the hangar), but none of the actual interactive menus will load in. I can still end the simulator and restart it by hitting escape and I could also click on the tips and release notes at the bottom of the screen. On restarting, the menus will appear correctly. The problem does appear to be intermittent though, and doesn't seem to happen every time. I have yet to find a p…

    I know the new process to refuel is done one the flight tablet. Ive watched videos and read articles but still have problems refueling with the Simbrief. I create a flight plan...download that to the tablet...no problem. Say Fuel block is 10.2...I click the simbrief auto load and then go to aircraft FOB and it show like 6.0. I change numbers in MSDU Planned FUel block and weight but I can not get it to match Simbrief 10.2 (for example) Before all these changes I would click the tablet download...I could see wings fill with gas to 10.2 and the FOB reading on the aircraft would automatically read 10.2 as well. I read somewhere that the engines need to be running before doin…

  23. Hi all. I was given a free copy of Model Instrument's The Last Days of Kai Tak by mrueedi to review so here is my review of it. So first things first, I originally had the freeware version of Kai Tak by ali501 at flightsim.to. That version of Kai Tak was quite good, but the two problems of that freeware version are: 1) there are AI passenger vehicles running all over the airport, including the taxiways and the runway, 2) the maker of it, ali501, has gone AWOL and stopped supporting it. I also have the SamScene3D Hong Kong City Times scenery installed so it was important that The Last Days of Kai Tak scenery is compatible with Sam Scene 3D. Overall, my impression …
