  1. FSUIPC doesn't play well with my pc. It might be because I'm using spad.next for my saitek panels. I'm trying to find a virtual airline (VA) that doesn't depend on fsuipc for their acars and pirep system. Any recommendations? 🙂

    at 2000Z tonight we're going to make our A320 available for purchase at fenixsim.com. It's fair to say there are hummingbirds with lower heart rates than our team right now. We've received advice from PayPal to hold off on accepting PayPal payments for a couple of days, but every other payment option (Cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, etc) will be available at launch. We'll do our very best to make the next 24hrs go as smoothly as possible, just please bear with us if something doesn't quite go to plan! In the words of one of our devs, Dave - time to boot it

  3. Tried this three morning in a row as I've been up working on other tasks. This seems to be similar to the 6pm EST weather bug. Now the sim will just hang at it's final load up with the bar at the bottom almost complete. If you let it sit there you can't get into the sim until close to 9am est. Tried deleting the Cache, loading up in 'Safe Mode', defragging the drive only to get the same results. Started a thread in the official forums to see if others have seen this.

  8. Making a separate thread as this may re-interest people who had given up on TG...You can edit the FLT file for each mission (e.g.)C:\MSFS\Official\Steam\asobo-lowalt-riffelake\Missions\Asobo\MRK\LowAltitude\lowalt-riffelake\01_LowAlt-RiffeLake.FLTfind the [Sim.0] section and change the Sim= line to your favourite (e.g.)[Sim.0]Sim=SSW TF104-G 28+16;Sim=Boeing F/A 18E Super Hornet Mrk AsoboI'm using the SSW F-104 but DC's jets should work fine as should the SW Hornet when it's updated, just find the alias you want from your aircraft.cfg file

My pc specs are in my sig so I don't know if I should put it to my CPU, GPU, or the specific setting of my 3080ti in there? Can someone shed some light? Thanks!

    Just wondering if anyone has any insider information regarding any good Memorial Day Sales. As of now, I am not seeing anything all that exciting. I was hoping for a good Orbx sale, since the 737 sale wasn't enough to get me to bite. I am curious if anyone is aware of anything. Cheers, Pete

    LFLL is surely one of the most important freeware airports on flightsim.to. There are probably 20 or more YouTube MSFS flight videos leaving from or landing at the plain default non-bespoke Asobo LFLL. To make an excellent and proper LFLL requires 2 mods: bgr1664 LFLL Lyon Saint Exupéry DomTom69 Lyon Control Tower LFLL Lyon Saint Exupéry Airport » Microsoft Flight Simulator LFLL Lyon-Saint Exupéry (Control Tower) » Microsoft Flight Simulator

    I have no problem setting up a practice approach with any other aircraft including the PMDG 737 in the air,to make any approach. Funny thing....when I set up the FENIX and hit FLY NOW..the plane is on the ground on a runway, or in a building. Is there some secret in setting this great product up.Any thoughts??

  18. How do you benchmark your settings in MSFS and NCP? I mean, how do you know, whether the changes you just made are improving your fps and consistency of time-frames? I ,of course, know the fps counter in DevMode and I use the benchmarking tool embedded in the MSI Afterburner measuring average fps over a period of time and corresponding fps of 1% and 0.1%. But I am looking more for an approach in which situation to measure this and how to ensure that I am measuring always the identical period of flight and in identical conditions. I tried to set up always the same flight or save the flight. Then to fly it on an autopilot and start measuring always when a certain…

    I am new to this bird and Airbus in general, so today made some taxi practice with empty plane and 3T of fuel. I know that light plane with idle thrust will move or even accelerate easily, but during taxi i have moved throttles to first reverse detent, and to my surprise plane was still accelerating during taxi. Is it normal for light Airbus or some bug?

  20. @Aamir As many of your customers are here, I thought it would be simpler to have one post for your feedback loop at AvSim- it's getting a little unwieldy (resulting in a bit of Discord 😛)... perhaps a forum or sub-forum may be considered? I'd like to kick this off with the following- TCAS does not work for multiplayer A&O Scripting (LVAR and HVAR could be more robust)- per the Oracle at Delphi @guenseliUnfortunately there are no variables for the ALT, HDG, SPD or VS displays, so I can't show anything on the MCP Displays currently." THIS is of huge importance to those with HW and Cockpits. AT rollon/roll off is quite abrupt Performa…
