I always put the pop out FD's on my lower monitor and on the sides of my main 3 monitors. This gives me a really nice feel of actually being in the plane. The Hud works great that way as well. To me the textures and layout of the instruments is not that important, just the information I get from the displays. The external view is very important though, and FS2020 excels at that as we all know. Here is a photo of how I fly the Max, landing last evening in KBOS. All the instruments work perfectly and the STAR was flown flawlessly. BTW I use my home built controls for the AP etc, it can be seen on the right. The MBP on the left shows the approach plate. I really like the feel of hand flying the Max. Nice heavy feel. Holy word not allowed, that monitor layout is just amazing. God that really makes me wanna get a 3rd monitor now. Are they all 60hz?

Today I am experiencing a strange behavior. Yesterday it was all working today I had the same issue with the throttle and when I have the ILS frequency the red diamonds for LOC and GS does not appear on the PFD for some reason. Hmmmm Now it works! What i find strange is that i'll have to use the throttle without needing to engage A/T.

These were all working yesterday, Now I am trying to undo all the adds I have done since yesterday, Hmmmm... Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter

February 13, 20215 yr Yes. Confirmed. I now get the A/T and the LOC/GS ILS diamond n PFD. It was the lights mod. I am so sorry guys. I was the one to link that mod here. Sheesh! 😞 Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter

I guess I could remove the windows from the 3D model, but my airline also operates passenger flights in spite of having cargo in the name, and in any case most passenger airliners also carry cargo a lot of the time.

February 13, 20215 yr Yup, got problems with the light mod too. I've just lost an engine whilst up at cruise. Never had a problem prior to trying that mod: Edited February 13, 20215 yr by Chock Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

Too hard to use your hands on all the knobs and dials. In a plane it is even worse, so I sent my VR headset back. Lots of monitors and custom peripherals work best for me. But that is just me. I find actual hardware buttons switches and dials are the most immersive, that is why I build a lot of USB peripherals. And I use AirManager a lot with the Knobster. I like flying IFR, the old fashioned way, so tuning radios is a constant chore. Most of the time I don't fly airliners. Even in an airliner it is fun to constantly tune VORs and double check your progress with every instrument available. I think real ATP's do this as well.

I've notified in the comments for of this download, so the author can either re3move or provide an update. B737 Maxx Light Fix GUYS, Do not use this lights mod. It breaks your ILS and the A/T. I am sorry I ponsted this here without me even using it and testing. Sigh! ADMINS: If you could please delete the original post on Page 37 please so others don't use it and then wonder why their ILS and A.T are not working. PLEASE! thanks Edited February 13, 20215 yr by Manny Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
