  1. Has anybody been able to get any traffic at VHHX? I understand live traffic (or PSX) won't work at all, since there's no VHHX anymore. But has anybody managed with the other AI traffic solutions (FSLTL, AIG)? Even with the static aircraft, available at Flightsim.to (https://flightsim.to/file/29583/kai-tak-1998-aig-static-aircraft-placement), it looks lifeless.

  2. Hi, I am running msfs with an i7 10700k at 5 ghz and nvidia 1080ti on a 34" ultrawide 1440p at 30fps, all works well for the ga flying I do except for the judder when panning. I have some spare cash and could either upgrade the processor or purchase a g sync ultimate monitor ( Acer Predator X38S 38 inch). Never having used g sync monitor my question is will it smooth out the panning judder? Any information appriciated or would it be better to upgrade the processor and run at 60htz to smooth out the panning Thanks Mick

    Hi Folks. My local airport EGPH had a facelift some time ago with the addition of a new apron and taxiway. This new apron is where the bizjets are parked up and it shows as such in Bing Maps. I have the new ORBX EGPH and it is fairly accurate with the new apron and parking spots. However, the sim world map page still shows the old airport layout. Does anyone know how often the world map screen gets updated? It would be nice to see the new layout with the correct parking. Regards...Ken.

  4. I suspect this may get deleted by the Avsim mods (understandably so) ... but I'm just so sick and tired of these *constant* server disconnects. I thought they'd be sorted for SU9, then Su10 ... now Su11 and this utter lunacy persists. If nothing else, then Asobo could at least recode things so that photogrammetry is automatically re-enabled when the connection is remade. Re-selecting it manually from the menu is time-consuming as the cache has to be rebuilt. It has to be the single most irritating thing about MSFS. If the MS servers can't cope (and not likely to be fixed soon) then why can't some latency/redundancy be built into the sim?

  5. I was wondering if there is a way to improve the model matching. I have multiple AIG airlines packages installed as well as the FSTL base models and use them with the inbuilt Live-Traffic feature. There are a few airlines that MSFS has trouble assigning either correct models or liveries for. For example CLH (Cityline Lufthansa). The models being used are correct, yet the liveries are all over the place. They were CRJ's alright but I saw a Kenya Airways, SAS, Nordica. It was all over the place. The only thing I didn't see was an actual Lufthansa livery. Or an Uzbekistan Airlines 787 that showed up in a Air Canada livery

  6. From the PMDG Forum just now. Captains! Happy Friday, everybody and welcome to another weekend of fun PMDG flying. PMDG 737 for Microsoft Flight Simulator: Updates Galore! Today we have a triplet of updates for you covering the 737 product series. This update series is intended to bring the 737 product line up to date with the MSFS SU11 standard, and using the latest build of the MSFS 20.4 SDK. (Previous builds ran in SU11, but were built with 19.x series SDKs yielding the potential for some inefficiencies.) The *main* focus has been continued tuning of the control law for the automated flight control system in pitch, roll, yaw and thrust. The previous…

    I just noticed that the focus feature of the drone camera seems to be broken after my upgrade to SU11. It seems to be disabled and switching modes makes no difference. Any one else seeing this?

  8. Kneeland Airport, ICAO O19, is located 10 miles southeast of Eureka CA on a mountain ridge with an elevation of 2,741 feet. The single 2,250-foot asphalt runway on top of sharply descending terrain makes for visually breathtaking arrivals and departures, and serves as a convenient alternate airport when nearby airfields at lower elevations may be closed due to fog or low-lying weather. It's also home to the CalFire Kneeland Helitack base, which this scenery aims to duplicate with a functional helipad, available as "Helipad 01" in the MSFS start menu (Scroll to the bottom of the list of parking areas when starting a flight). The airport is fairly spartan in terms…

    Shows as 61.62 AUD, which is just under £35. Bit more than I was expecting given it was indicated at 20-30 dollars I thought? https://orbxdirect.com/partner/miltech-simulations Not available yet - think it was stated as due tomorrow - but at least we have a price to work with.

  16. This is my 4 screen and tablet setup with the G2. Using AirManager and a popout for instruments. The feeling of immersion is great with eh 3 top screens, it feels like you are in the heli when sitting in the right place. This is a flight from Mass General to Logan in real time and WX today. A bit windy out of the west 10-18 kts. This actually makes it easier to fly the heli, just face into the wind on T/O and landing. I find it amazing I get this quality from my old not very powerful system ASOBO has really done a great job. I find the G2 as good as the one in X-plane or possible even a bit more lifelike, not just graphically but also flight dynam…

    Im thinking about getting gsx for the deicing feature, because right now if I am sitting at the gate and its snowing the airplane gets covered in ice and there is no way to remove it besides turning on the anti ice (not allowed on ground in the a320 and 737). My question for those with gsx, does the deice actually remove the visual icing and set the aircraft icing level back to to 0%?

    Never been able to properly fly choppers in MSFS predecessors but trying again (as a famous Dutch once said - in French, mind you - Point n'est besoin d'espérer pour entreprendre ni de réussir pour persévérer). I went back and dug in my treasure trunk to find an oldish site that I bookmarked long ago which is IMO not bad at all. I have been using it these days to see whether I can fly (and hover) the darn beast. If it can help you, its a click away : Helicopter Aviation (cybercom.net)

  19. [email protected] vs 13900K&5.5Ghz scroll to 7:28 for MSFS About 12% more fps : If the 12900k is running at 5.1Ghz instead of 4.9Ghz than the difference might be around 10% in favor of the 13900k.

    Did some flying around in the Beaver and its a nice model that flies nice and straight. However I will probably get flamed for mentioning this but I am kind of disappointed it's so basic. I own the FSX/P3D Milviz package and you had all sorts of options plus multiple float options like amphibious and regular floats. The big killer is the lack of a tundra tire option and really surprising the lack of skis. I was hoping for at least skis for this model. Its hard to complain since you can't complain about the price but its hardly anything definitive. Early on this was supposed to be a definitive package but then Blackbird/Milviz sold it to Asobo! Its nice to have …

    Can the color of water bodies be modified in the sim somehow? It seems blue in most places. For the old FS versions one could manipulate themselves colour via some texture files.

    Hi, While patiently waiting for a fix for the A310 FPS issue, I am reminded about another product that had a less than stellar roll out, GSX. I tried the initial release and used the free demo, with poor results. I decided to hold off on a purchase, but really wanted that products. Just wondering where it's at today? I had issues with jetways on the wrong side of the aircraft and passengers walking on air. Just wondering if it's good to buy now? Thanks

  25. 2 flights now, 1 from Sydney to Brisbane, the second this morning from Auckland to Sydney, and both times after TOD the 737-800 just goes off on it's own merry way completely disregarding the flightplan (simbrief), either flying straight on or turning in the completely opposite direction. I'm not new to this plane due to flying it for many years in P3D, but I am pretty new to this version in MSFS - is there a process I'm not following or a button I'm not hitting? Flightplan(s) contained no vectors or discos, very frustrating having to hand fly from 30-odd thousand feet.
