  1. Weather Adobo (etc) have clearly burnt the midnight oil since release to improve the real-world weather. It is consistently on the mark, and their ability to accurately portray cloud cover – and fog, including accurately placed isolated patches – is remarkable. Little hidden valleys have different (and in my experience realistic) temperatures and wind strengths and directions. Buffeting has improved a lot since launch and flying in the lee of a ridge line with a moderate breeze keeps you focused. FW P149 It's just brilliant. Makes me happy every time I fly it. Months after release (and an on-the-spur buy which I did not expect to enjoy) I still haul it out and f…

    Hi, Is anyone aware of a fix to resolve the awful shadows under bridges? There is something clearly wrong as the shadow looks like a lot of small vertical lines and it creates a huge mass/mess underneath bridges. Hopefully there is a fix for this or MS are aware of this needing some further work to resolve?

    First of all I should point out that I've been using Xplane on and off for over 10 years as well as MSFSims. Secondly, I've noticed some hostility recently in some sectors of the Xplane forum community to any mention of MSFS. Granted there are many Xplaners' like myself who also use and admire MSFS. But there appears to be a core of members who sound hostile and defensive towards MSFS and dismiss it as "not a flight sim at all, but an eye candy game". While Xplane, they claim, is a "real flight sim authorized by the FAA". I looked into this last claim and discovered that a) its not true unless you spend many thousands on control hardware etc, and b) Rooting ar…

    Would anyone have any information on how accurate the DEM / mesh is after the latest updates in the following countries / regions: 1. Finland 2. Norway 3. Sweden 4. Austria 5. Germany 6. Italy 7. Canary Islands 8. Madeira I ask this because I do a comparison of real landscape images and simulator images. For most of the above areas, either free or paid DEM is available, with accuracies typically ranging from 10 meters to 20 meters. In order for the landscape to look really realistic in terms of altitude modeling, I think the DEM / mesh accuracy must be at least 5 meters or more accurate. Don’t mind those who just fly the F…

  14. @Asobo Now that we have a functional XBox release, would it be possible to temporarily stop added feature sets, and get the base sim accurate, functionally robust, stable and efficient please? This could be a bi-platform precept… serving both the simmers and gamers collectively. Without histrionics, I’m simply asking for us to collaborate and patch this undeniably leaky ship, before continually hoisting more sail. There is no way to avoid the fact that this release has caused severe disruption for some. That said, sometimes the road forward requires burning the boats. Both positions are valid. Please examine your development process, and perhaps unlike…

  25. Ok so I’ve got the Bravo this week and I’m having trouble with binding the external lights. I can’t seem to separate the landing lights and the taxi lights. For example, turn on landing lights and it will switch to TO which is fine but turn them off and it switches to taxi and it won’t move to off… Seems like it treats the taxi position as off but when you start a flight it’s not in the off but in taxi until you switch to on. How do I separate them.. Any idea what am doing wrong here? Also this is in the FBW320 experimental.. if anyone has this working right would appreciate a screenshot of your external light bindings to give me an idea cheers
