    Today I wanted to check if there had been added new airlines to AIG so I clicked Online and no list appeared. The Airlines I already have installed show up at Installed / flightplans. I did not check AIG in the last few months as I was flying a lot. Anyone knows what is going on ?

  6. Hello all Just done couple flights in 787-10 over land and decided to try flying across pacific. Got a flight plan from simbrief heres how it is: GNNRR2 AMAKR DCT BOXER DCT 47N130W/N0496F340 52N140W 55N150W 58N160W DCT EHM DCT 61N170W/N0488F360 DCT RUSOR/K0904F360 T658 TK G370 BANOT T634 GIRUD/K0922F380 T634 MAGIT/K0924S1160 R213 JMU G212 DABMA W74 SABEM G332 GITUM GIT01A I'm really confused of how to correctly enter these "47N130W/N0496F340 52N140W 55N150W 58N160W" ocean waypoints into my FMS.

    FSDG has released two new airports, Enfidha and Accra. https://fsdg-online.com/ I really like their scenery locations out of the usual Europe / USA / Australia, but unfortunately their pricing is high while the quality seems borderline MSFS, probably more like P3D era. Still on the verge about their Seychelles scenery notably.

    Brief background: bought AirHauler 2 a month ago or so and it's just not what I had hoped for. It's really 99% airline company focused and I had fantasies that it was a little more pilot-focused, but that piece is a bit stunted compared to what I'm used to in FSCaptain which is not yet available for MSFS but is under development.. So wondering how you like PACX if you do, or not. Does it 'score' each flight like FSCaptain does, according to how well you met certain monitored criteria looking at your piloting behaviors? Pros/Cons if you feel like it. Thanks in advance

  10. I know Seb mentioned in the most recent developer stream that they are working on a much more comprehensive ground physics and airframe modeling for aircraft to help them feel a bit more weighty. But one thing that has bothered me since the sim has launched has been the almost RC plane suspension physics when it comes to landing, takeoff, or any sort of bush trip. I'm seeking a little bit of assistance on identifying where the suspension parameters live within the flight model cfg? I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but I bought and tested this product; https://secure.simmarket.com/illuminators-improved-physics-special-edition-msfs.phtml Yes, I know the dubiou…

  12. I have the Tobii Eye Tracker successfully working with DCS World and P3D, however, when I attempt to use the Tobii software to find the Flightsimulator.exe, if fails? It appears that Windows 10 is blocking this app, as when I enter the actual path thru all the folders to Flightsimulator.exe, it gets blocked. Any idea on how to overcome this obstacle? Bill Clark

    Tonight I was making a routine flight from KMCO to KMIA testing SU9 Beta. I've been a huge CRITIC of the clouds for the past 5 or 6 SU releases, there's no doubt about that. But tonight, something strange happened, and I WISH I would have taken screenshots. When I took off from KMCO, there were some mid level party cloudy conditions. FOR ONCE in for as long as I could recall, it was not those low towering cumulus ugly clouds we've been seeing all along. NOTE that this looked CONVINCING, even if it didn't match the real world weather conditions. But as a bonus, the clouds outside my window were of the same height, thickness and type! I thought, hmm, interesting... …

    After putting a screwdriver into my monitor by mistake, I purchased a Samsung Odyssey G7 monitor. It is certified as an HDR600 monitor with 10bit colour. I was immediately impressed with HDR in MSFS. The sky and haze realism has gone up a notch with the extra peak brightness headroom.

  16. Hi Fellow MSFS Simmers, I'm having trouble with my MSFS holding my preset sounds for Headphones and external 5.1 Sounds. Each time I turn on the Simulator, I have to go into the sound folder and resave my Headphone Microphone sound and my external surround sound. If I don't do this then I have all sound emulating from my external speakers. Prior to the last update we didn't have this option. I play MSFS "ATC" through headphones and of course use the attached mike for Multi Crew experience to correspond, using the 5.1 external speakers for all external sounds, ie aircraft sounds, ATC Chatter program, storms etc. I cant seem to just set it and…

  19. I notice that somewhere along the line (Flying a C172) there have been extra data visible on the base screen i.e. large added compass rose, in the top left of the screen and at the bottom of the screen a list of subjects and their reading (fuel, speed etc.). Is there any way to take these superfluous (to me) Items off the screen? Thanks.

    A few months ago I posted a list of all of the exciting upcoming projects and a "best guess" ETA. Decided to go back and do a quick update. Here's the timing and status of all of the major releases that I'm aware of: Things on the original "looking forward to" list that have since been released: - Sim Updates 6, 7, and 8 - Content Update: Reno Air Racing - World Update 7 [Australia] - World Update 8 [Iberia] - Wing 42 Boeing 247 - DC Designs Concorde - SWS Kodiak [wasn't on the original list, but it's still awesome] Things on the original list that are likely to be released in Q2 of this year: - Fenix A320 [c…

    TLDR: Fantastic. I was having severe sim stutters every few seconds whenever I turned the GTN on. I contacted TDS through their discord, and they spent about an hour and a half using remote login on my PC to try and diagnose the issue. Not once did they ask for hard “proof” of stuttering - they just took my word for it at face value. Alas the issue could not be resolved, and I have been refunded the purchase. It’s most likely an issue on Asobo’s end where WASM gauges only go through the main processor thread thus gumming up horsepower needed for a smooth experience. Should this ever get resolved I will definitely buy from TDS again as I’ve never before experienc…
