  1. Past hour
  2. Mine is not even running - it doesnt connect to the simulator. Early Access. 🙂
  3. Very nice, a fine mix betwin the Sim and real life landscape.. cheers 😉
  4. I guess it won’t break anything testing different options. Just wondering why you took MSFS off all the HT-threads though. How would that improve performance, when the sim has 8 performance-threads instead of 16? Or perhaps the reasoning is that you make 8 P-“threads” available for other apps? But then again, when I check Lasso with the sim running, it’s rare that another app is using more than 5% of the CPU. Core0 I can sort of understand, if this is indeed the thread most used by the operating system. I don’t have any in-depth knowledge of how this works.
  5. @Ray Proudfoot Hi again Ray.... I'm getting closer. I've at least found out WHY my cockpit etc looks the way it does. If you open the configurator, then go to advanced. Hit the more info on reinstalling XMLTools64. Page 22 of the DA62 manual shows what happens if the XMLTools isn't installed properly. Look familiar???? However, if I hit the reinstall button, I get nothing different. But at least it's a start. So, if I was a gambling man, I bet the issue is with my DLL.xml file. It mustn't be loading properly. I've even tried to disable all other addons, reinstall the xmltools64, but to no avail. Still just getting the same issues. Also, my sound... if you look at the configurator again, under the advanced tab. Click more info for reinstalling the sound file. It again brings up my EXACT issue. No sound INSIDE the cockpit. So, as I said... I'm getting closer. I just need to work more on my files I think.
  6. If anybody does a flight from Seattle (KSEA) to Vancouver (CYVR), please post your review of how you found BeyondATC to work. Especially landing on runway 08R and 08L at CYVR, I would like to know how BeyondATC handles the final vector onto 08R and 08L. I'm also curious about using BeyondATC between Calgary (CYYC) to Edmonton (CYEG), and the other direction from Edmonton to Calgary. Thanks!
  7. Today
  8. Good evening, I've been trying to connect with Fusiboard, but they haven't approved my request in over a month. They have a texture of the Canada 150 DHC-2 Beaver for Milviz. I've been hoping to get a copy of that and can't find it anywhere else. There's actually a texture pack for a few DHC-2's operated by small British Columbia airlines. Does anyone have a copy of these textures? Than you, colin
  9. I've never been worried about wearing a cap and looking silly. I'm already sitting at my computer pretending to fly a pretend plane.
  10. The installer for the C414 usually includes a changelog, at least if from the Flysimware store. And a good source for info on C414 updates is the Flysimware Discord https://discord.gg/AzJKBMMU Al
  11. I just use the head tracking and disable eye tracking. Works fine for me in MSFS 2020. However, it never worked in P3D
  12. Are there ANY multi layer clouds. All I have seen has been one level. Would love to hear if you have. That the reason why I did not purchase.
  13. Understand your presets comments but that is not what I am talking about. MSFS weather metar may "use" it as you say but the depiction is marginal at best. For instance flying near a moving from with thunderstorms in it rarely show multi layer clouds or even thunderstorms for that matter. REX does very nicely. May that's has been the focus of my testing. I fly mainly in the US so this might be the disconnect. Ill will try your area for fun. But this while Mateo blue weather has never been what it was touted for sure.
  14. It’s a bit surprising that they haven’t removed those clouds ages ago. The cumulus clouds look great, let’s keep them and get rid of the unnatural freakish-looking volcanic ash-broccoli-cauliflower-popcorn variants. They really don’t add anything to the sim. Just finished a flight around the Hawaiian islands and luckily no volcanic ash - only real volcanoes popping up through the thick cumulus-layer. Interesting approach too into Kahului. Check it out if you want to brush up on your x-wind landing technique 🙂 METAR PHOG 050154Z 07022G38KT 10SM SCT060 BKN080 26/16 A2996 … Oh, one more thing. Last flight was with 8888, but even on the previous one the transitions have been more noticeable. On the first build I used a smoothing setting suggested by @vgbaron, but with the latest beta I’ve just used default. In other words, I’m trying to find a reasonable setting to avoid abrupt transitions. For now I’ve reduced it to 20 IIRC. …. Yet another thing: it does seem to me that there’s quite a bit more turbulence with 8888 than before. Not excessive in any way. With the 07022G38KT METAR from above it seemed very convincing - and I think in this case the turbulence would have been exaggerated with default. So in other words, a welcome improvement. …. Re: my statement about them removing the ash-clouds, I guess it’s probably not that simple after reading the post with quotes from Seb.
  15. Passing on this for now. Maybe if it had Oceanic, but it’s way too early for my taste. Plus all the controllers sound like they are yelling 🤣
  16. I want the background music that alone would spice up the airways 😃. Seriously looks fun and hopefully performance will be good. I've been hoping for shooting stars forever, and if the auroras were done well which seems challenging not to overdo it will be a nice addon. I love FS Birds when taking off KSFO those kinds of little things add a lot of immersion I feel. I wish there were more wildlife, birds, bird strikes, people, cars, trains. All that is coming for sure, not sure when is all!

  18. If we all just plant our feet back on the ground again, at an airport preferably, we will all understand that MSFS is a Flight Simulator, nothing else. 3PD's have allowed us to have sailing boats, cars and of course Gaist's wonderful ships because the software engine allows this in one way or another. But the execution as many have noted is far from ideal. While Gaists ship are fantastic Heinrik feely admits there is only so much realism that can be achieved when the MSFS does not allow for proper water physics. In spite of that, Gaist have done wonders with ship wakes. But, take a look at this U-Boat simulator review to see what good water physics can look like if the engine is developed for this. Having said that, water physics is not the point of a flight simulator. Instead MSFS have modelled the air physics and that is right and appropriate for this genre. While some have explored Gaists ships and controllable ships as a form of MS Ship Simulator, the reality is that the capability to do this really just allows for enhanced and moving scenery to be viewed by the aviator. There is no doubt that all of these 'vehicle' 3PD's add a wonderful dimension to MSFS scenery and provides a quasi ability to enjoy other simulations. But it is still primarily a flight simulator and IMHO must remain that way. However, as I was saying in an earlier thread, it is the development of the MSFS software engine and the emphasis that has been placed on updating the World that offers us (and MS of course) so many other 'vehicle' simulator opportunities at levels of realism similar to MSFS. In just one example, I think Jorg mentioned in a recent Twitch, it will take them two years to update the Carribean water masking but they see that as worthwhile and have assigned resources to it that allows them to do this. But do we see this as a World simulator or maybe even an inter- planetary universe? Well, this is where we need to plant our feet firmly on the ground. My 'road map' guess would be that MS is certainly advancing the scenery modelling, but not at all to the exclusion of developing the flight simulator. I suspect 2024 will offer a lot to the flight simulation genre and personally I can't wait for it frankly. But it would be crazy to believe they would pour all these resources into just MSFS. So, perhaps other software houses have already been engaged by MS to develop other 'vehicle' simulations using the MSFS base engine? Who knows what we might see reviewed in the next few years. This would be the next step in my view. Only after determining what future potential exists in any particular vehicle simulators placed on the market, and then taking account of the maturity of those simulations, and of the technical feasibility and challenges of doing so, would some integration of the most popular simulations be a possibility. That may be some while down track. MS have dabbled in ship, train and space simulators (not to mention farm simulators) usually based within fixed geospatial boundaries but now ...well...the world is literally their oyster! Cheers (futuristic) Terry
  19. The Flysimware Learjet 35A comes with the Working Title MSFS GNS 530 GPS on the panel. There are also two very similar additional panels the use addon versions of the GTN 750 GPS. One panel uses a third party GTN 750 by PMS50 (both a free and payware version is available), and the other panel uses a GTN 750Xi Pro GPS by TDS (payware only) version. There are lots of videos of the Flysimware MSFS 2020 Learjet 35A on Youtube. Al
  20. Continuing to share info as I get it. Lorby Axis And Ohs (which uses SAPI) is showing both versions (Standard and Neural), but P2A is not: The full list of Polly voices are listed in registry @ `Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens`:
  21. Scrambling to an aircraft whilst wearing a parachute was harder than doing so without it, so it was common to have it sitting on the tailplane. The pilot would put it on whilst the engineer was starting the engine etc, with assistance from another member of ground crew. It was more practical than leaving it on the wing where it could slip off or impede ground crew with their preparations. In this Pathe film, you'll see a pilot running towards the parachute at about the 5 minute mark.
  22. Hi Ray. I wish mine looked the same. I've tried several other things, but I'm getting nowhere 😞 As you can see from mine, I'm missing a LOT of usuable data. Status messages etc. I noticed your G1000 shows you using P3D Database... Mine is like my alert messages. Nothing. Here's mine below...
  23. Cause I didn't mention anything like either the moon or hunger, which each are not depicted in MSFS. So like you, I look forward to the arrival of the Dukes.
