    So - I'm late to the party since I just recently got a new computer that can run P3DV5. I went ahead and got the TFDI B717. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get the flood lights to come on other than hitting the thunderstorm switch. I can turn the integral lights up and down using the outer knob, but I can't seem to get the inner knob to turn at all. Anyone able to provide some assistance? Thanks!

    Maybe I'm an outlier but I don't find using my mouse to select responses very immersive. Being able to use real-world phraseology like I can on PilotEdge, Vatsim, SayIntentions, BATC and P2A is what does it for me. I own P2A, BATC, FSHud and subscribe to SI and I find SI to be the most realistic in that I speak to it without having to form my response in just the right way. For example, I can ask "What's the weather like at the airfield?" and it responds appropriately. Hopefully with the new ChatGPT announcement they can get the cost down.

    I've only seen Carenado have one pre-MSFS major sale (during the COVID peak), it was a goodie though @ 50% off, I bought all the ones I though I might like.

    The speed of AI advancements is mind blowing. Can you imagine what will be possible in 5 years?

    ORBX.

    I would hardly say that... given the sim is 64 bit, DX12, with volumetric clouds, dynamic lighting and a PDK providing very low level programming access for those commercal and military developers who need that sort of low level programming access. If I was to apply the same logic MSFS would be nothing more than FSX with some pretty scenery and shiny planes. Cheers

    I searched for Ezo21 the author and this showed. I'll be downloading it. Looks good.

    Ok, GSync would be like vsync at any Hz. I don't think you're understanding how vsync works, basically it syncs the sim to the monitor's screen mode scanrate, e.g. if your screen mode is 60 hz your frame rate will be locked at 60 fps, assuming that is... the sim can actually achieve 60 fps consistantly, if you use the NVidia Control Panel 1/2 scan rate vsync option then the fps will be 1/2 of the current scan rate e.g. 30 fps for a 60 Hz sceen mode. In anycase I see the same @ Boston, they are either too emissive or are black. Likely these are items LM need to address, which maybe they'll do for P3d v6, although more likely they'll fall into the low priority & too hard basket given the default scenery is essentually FSX with minor adjustments and LM doesn't seem at all focused on updating. Maybe enable content reporting in the P3D config and then review the resultant log file, perhaps there are missing textures. A report on the LM forum would be the best option, the LM dev crew could at least see the issue. cheers

    Wrong thread, sorry

    Each to his own..🙂 I've fixed and modded many a Carenado aircraft and while pretty, I would describe Carenado aircraft as having minimal depth, with the added feature of being chock full of bugs. Although... that said their later jet releases were on the improve. In any case they're both quite diffferent, the Carenado version has glass avionics and is more automated, where as the Flysimware is more focused on gauges and seat of your pants flying. I know which one I prefer. Cheers

    Interesting. Didn't experience that during testing. Doesn't mean there isn't an issue though. For the hidden spots, does using the mouse wheel work?
  15. Gerwil
    That must be one of the small (or big) advantages of VR compared to a monitor. In VR I just have to look at the switch once, put my thumb (mouse pointer) on it and can look forward again. The mouse stays where it is, no bezels limiting that. I can then adjust the pitch with the mouse wheel while looking at the vs indicator.

    Hi all, pretty close to picking out MFG crosswinds to replace a very old and set of Saitek Cessna rudder pedals. From what I've read, I want the damper kit and then need to make up my mind between having feet on the pedals (default Me109s) or feet on the floor. I'm going to sidestep the conundrum by ordering a 2-pack of pedals. Question is, they have an 'Airbus' footrest and I cannot really find anyone that has bought them and commented. Anyone? I suppose for me I will pick up the 109s, then add either the combat pedal or the Airbus one. I'm mostly a tube flier but expect to branch out much further to fly my GA and helis with these much improved new pedals.

    Bedtime now for me after late night Duking. Here's my observations from final flights: Shot first ILS in B60 factory using straight in ILS 14R at AYPY. Very easy test from North. Used GNS530.430 as old favourites. GNS assigned correct ILS as MAIN. Selected VLOC/APP modes and she flew right down to threshold in choppy conditions no issues. GNS 530 bugged with duplicate flight plan entries. 430 was fine. They were both slaved fortunately. Not as good as my realityxp units from fsx. Might not use again but glad I recalled how to use them! VNAV descent advice was poor. Programmed 6000 23 miles before the 3000 WP but got me there 50 miles before. Back to 750 from now on. The hidden pitch click spot is indeed a click right of ALT gauge but on my plane up arrow/down pitch ONLY. So useful for DES no help with climb. The hidden cowl flaps CLOSE dual button hidden hold press worked fine but again only CLOSED option. Why not for OPEN too? Takes almost a minute to open both one at a time! During that flight I changed mixture on cruise and lost all engine sounds. Thought engine died but changing MIX again turned sound back on. Then...started final flight to island 250 miles away. Got to 29k for 30k cruise and...the engines disappeared again. This time they were windmilling and dead. Took me a few to react as thought was sound bug again. Nope. Checked radar/engine repair and saw 100/95% so I had NOT blown them up. Plane was starting to glide down now (30% fuel) so I restarted right engine but forgot to feather first. It started fine but now plane started stall/spin/dive which overstressed frame/end flight in seconds. There was no warning of engine failure. I suspect a mixture issue as past critical altitude of 24k for turbo charger effectiveness? But to just KILL both engines at once no warning was disappointing. Was going to switch to the other Duke 60 tomorrow but will do another 30k cruise flight see if this happens again. Loving the plane, think it still needs tweaking though, especially the hidden hotspots to add bidirectional movement not just single.

    Sadly, there is a price mankind will have to pay in order to reduce the population to more sustainable levels. That or a world war that makes WW1 and WW2 combined a child's play, but the latter would be too drastic and violent for our liking.

    Following no major issues being identified in the test phase that haven't already been resolved, I have just formally released MSFS_AutoFPS v0.4.2.16 here. Thank you to everyone who participated in the test phase and provided feedback. A summary of the changes are: A minor update to 0.4.2.10 that provides a new decrease cloud quality method based on GPU load that is independent of TLOD, a progressively hide-able UI by double-clicking on the main window, user-definable LOD step sizing for AutoTLOD automation mode, a simple way to recover window visibility if last window saved position is off screen and can't otherwise be recovered and various minor bug fixes. My settings: How I normally run the app with the above settings and with the UI partially collapsed: As previously advised, my development efforts on this app will now wind down significantly. I will no longer be adding new functionality and will only be fixing any major issues found that do not have a practical workaround, such as a future MSFS update that is incompatible with the core functionality of this app. I hope that you find this update useful and that this app continues to enhance your MSFS experience.

    LOL, I know who you’re talking about now. I communicated with him once about how I used to work in the control tower at Hot Springs municipal in the late seventies. It was a non radar approach control then and the FAA closed it after the strike. I didn’t know Bill was a priest. Glad he’s OK.

    I was flying yesterday thinking the same thoughts…there are some things I would like to change but it does what it do pretty well for me. More voices and less heading call outs would make it better.
  27. Ident started following Cant assign min and max axis in AAO
  28. Ident
    I'm stuck on assigning an axis for the Duke. I used the following info to create the assignment for the axis: Create a new Axis assignment Type "L:var_AP_PitchKnob, Number" into the box where it says "Enter Variable" (if that is the variables name, I just got the planes an hour ago and haven't had time to look at them) Set "Axis Min" to -15 and "Axis max" to 15 Turn the encoder on the Behringer left/right until it is picked up by AAO Save Found in this thread I can get the axis to move by putting the correct LVAR info in the Enter Variable box but my problem is I can not set the Axis min or Axis max. Its staying at 16000 and -16000 (ball park default number as Im not at my simpit right now. So I can hear and see the lever move in the sim but its not acting right. What am I missing and many thanks for all help.

    My technique is to be in HDG and ALT mode and on a 30 degree intercept heading. Example if the final at BOS 33L is 330, you should either be heading 300 or 360 depending on what side you are approaching from. Once the CDI needle on the HSI starts moving I press APR mode.

    Thank you for using some other song to showcase your Huey than "Fortunate Son" by CCR. 😌
