Is the problem solved with freezing controls when the mouse is on the tablet?  That was a show stopper for me.

I assume I need to enable HDR in Windows firts right? So I can enable it in sim too.

Btw Captain are you still using Active sky in Msfs24?

I am still thinking about buying it . But looks like weather in Msfs24 is better depicted than it was in Msfs20. So maybe no need fo AS in Msfs24?

HDR needs to be enabled both in Windows and the sim. 

I really like the improvements to default weather in 2024. This particular flight, I used default historical weather. I still use AS, set to passive mode (default clouds, turbulence etc from AS).

I haven't noticed this. Also, I don't need to use the mouse on the tablet - I use touch, like I normally use the iPad 🙂

Thanks but when you move stuff in the cockpit sometimes i accedentally move the mouse off screen and it went to the tablet(i used it for the ND for the MaddogX)

Finding my controls not working was more irritating than a small ND in the Maddog 😉

Confused about HDR - its over blown looking without it why would you turn on HDR and make it even worse in 2024 anyway - I never do that - just wondering

Hmm, I think the colors are much more rich and natural with HDR

Definitely, HDR looks so real in 2024
