Enroute to Bali on my MD11, weather is correctly depicted since take-off from Singapore.

In 2020 yes, in 2024 I have yet to see it working correctly, but the ship routes are managed by AIG TC as well. This is an agreement between AIG and GAIST.

As indicated above more than 3000 flights, that is much more than any other AI traffic software, so in some areas at certain times it can indeed get very busy!

It is surprising to see how little support AIG gets in this thread at a time FSTL lost its FR24 partnership, it would sound like the logical real free alternative offering choices that no other free AI traffic software can match. It is true that AIG was - at first when released - lengthy and cumbersome to download and install, but the team has made great improvements in the past two years. Whilst it is still not 100% perfect, we should remember that, like FBW, it is manned by volunteers dedicating their time to make this the best AI traffic solution there is. Among the benefits: Over 300 simobjects Close to 3000 flightplans (if you install all of them - but you don't have to) Ground service equipment at every airport (35% max so as to avoid loading too much your sim) GA traffic Integration of GAIST traffic Flights are on time with real world schedules, regardless of the hour you start flying, in other word, if you start a morning flight (real world) in the evening (your free time), you will see real traffic in the morning Flightplans are updated regularly and are super easy to automatically update, but you don't need to if you don't want... As mentioned above, you don't have to download and install everything if you don't want to, but frankly, once the initial job is done, the results are so convincing that you will never look back.

No pun intended naturally...

That sounds very much like a control binding problem, did you check them to ensure you have no conflict between your mouse and yoke controls? There are a number of videos to help you for that like this one:

???? Animals?

Not to worry Rob, it's work in progress, they will surely react to your comment and correct that😹

I would vote without any hesitation for the Jetstream Design product for its high fidelity reproduction. I own a few AmSim sceneries and they do not match in details and rendition what Jetstream makes, don't forget they are associated to Flightbeam, both of them probably the best airport designers on the market presently.

Do you mean you can't load your flight plan in MSFS 2020 or in the TDS GTN? If you have saved your Simbrief flight plan in MSFS 2020 using the Simbrief downloader (easiest way), here is a video to help you: If your problem is to find your Simbrief flight plan in the TDS GTN, here is another video:

That is one characteristic of the MD11, if you taxi too fast, you will have a hard time with the steering of your nose wheel. There are a couple of videos showing this. I guess after you landed you did not decelerate enough to use your steering (max 10/12 knots) and your plane continued to move forward with your nose wheel perpendicular to the runway... Have your front wheels pneumatics checked, they might have to be changed!

Not sure if this is my lack of comprehension of your wording "added through AL" but did you activate all your sceneries with AL before running Dave's App? If not, this would explain why they were not detected.

Usually my own question is "which aircraft will teach me something different", that obviously eliminate a number of Boeing and Airbus, and I often end-up with the GA option, so Starship is my answer, you will certainly learn something from that plane! If you want to stick to tubes, then the TFDi MD11 is your answer unless you prefer real old school, wait for the A300 from JustFlight, you won't be disappointed.

Multi Crew Experience gets rarely mentioned even though it covers all what you mentioned and way beyond! Co-pilot can work the flows as you wish, execute specific commands and handle ATC, you can interact with ATC, cabin and ground crews, all this through voice recognition. There is a free trial version available and most complex add-ons are covered. I have been flying with it since release. They have a very helpful support on AVSIM and are open for suggestion.

I was quite anxious to - at long last - tick that box in the Hardware section I use with my sim: Seatbelt May I also suggest to include next year oxygen mask?
