    Both JFs Arrows and Warrior have the bug fixed which is why I'm surprised to see the problem back with the Tomahawk
  3. Beagle12
    OK Thanks
  4. Cpt_Piett
    Didn’t know that. Haven’t dared to open a window since I got Carenado’s Mooney.

    In the Documents folder there is another folder - 'Cockpit' Also see P7 of the Operations Manual

    yes, but 3rd party devs have been fixing it since at least the P.149

    This is a bizarre issue that just cropped up in the past couple weeks. Whenever I run P3Dv5, even just the UI without actually starting a flight, I lose internet connectivity. I have reproduced this several times and I am certain that P3D is the culprit. I tried disabling all my Bitdfender protections, including the firewall, but the problem remains. I wonder if the latest Windows 11 update on April 10th may have changed something? Antone else ever experience this, and if so, were you able to resolve the problem? Thanks. Dave

    I could care less about the initial screen (dune) I'm not that sensitive. All I want is the Dukes.

    Three threads now to discuss the Tomahawk 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I am not sure the issue is storing data. I don't have the impression that live weather in MSFS is generated by reading a data file and then displaying weather according that file; that sounds like how weather was handled in FSX. In such an approach data is not a big deal. Take all the METAR reporting stations in the world and add some NOAA forecast data and it will probably not be more than a few GB, and that can be stored and served up easily. What MSFS seems to do is to interface and read Metroblue's NMM forecast weather model. That model requires a supercomputer, probably several supercomputers, to run. It runs twice a day and produces updated forecasts based on a stream of weather inputs about every 3 hours at different resolutions around the world. Metroblue is not the only weather forecaster but it is one of the biggest; this is where your local TV station is getting its forecast from when it does its weather segment. MSFS takes the forecasted data directly from that model and uses it to generate weather. While MSFS will certainly have data fields they are likely populated directly by Metroblue's servers to Azure servers. And there will be a host of security arrangements and protocols to protect that data transfer and use. This arrangement allows Asobo to sidestep sourcing and maintaining weather data, it just worked out a partnership that would provide its servers with the data needed to generate a evolving live weather scenario in MSFS. It is actually a brilliant idea. But it meant that it cannot allow read access to the data -- as that data is propriety and the source of Metroblue's income -- or to write to those fields as this would open up glaring security vulnerabilities to both Azure and Metroblue. They may have taken time to adapt the architecture in MSFS2024. They already expanded it to be able to include METARs -- these may very well come from Metroblue too, as Metroblue collects all of these as part of the input to its data model -- so it is possible Asobo have made further changes to let users access that weather forecast back in time by 24 hours, the life cycle of one model run, which is what is needed to provide forecasts around the world. It will be interesting to see but unless they have made a deep architectural change, I do not see weather read/write access becoming open to third parties.

    Haha I know these quotes very well because I was the one who started the talk about them lying about the Beluga on discord which prompted the first quote. The second quote was a response (not a quoted reply tho) to me saying a sim launching with a full lineup of high quality aircraft is unprecedented. They also confirmed to another user that the A350 will indeed be dropping sometime this year.
  13. Cpt_Piett
    I hope so! His liveries are top notch 👌🏻 I think this has more to do with how MSFS handles “overstressing” the aircraft.

    Thanks for this. I do indeed have the TDS GTNXi. Furthermore, after checking the reliability monitor as you suggested, I see several entries saying "GTN Xi Series Trainer Stopped Working". I've had the TDS GTNXi for a long time but being presented with the option for safe startup every time the sim is opened only started happening on March 24th. Anyway, good to know TDS is on it.
  15. Matchstick
    It appears the plane "blows up" if you open the storm window in flight. I thought we'd got past that idiocy in anything not made by Carenado 😞

    Where is the option for a clean or used panel and/or glass ?
  18. Dave-Pilot2ATC
    That sounds correct. I just tried it from parking to takeoff and it had no problems with either "Scandinavian Five Two Two" or "Scandinavian Five Twenty Two". Have you tried the latter? That's what the copilot was using when I used SayIt. Dave

    Mmm , i have other flight simmers that have the same frame gen with a 3000 series and doesn´t have this issue sir

    Which one do you consider as the default? Both are ActiveSky but the first is in AS passive mode, which means that the clouds are rendered as MSFS Live weather would. You think the first looks two dimensional? The second (ActiveSky) does not even show clouds at the aircraft altitude (probably due to metar alt capping, ASFS seems to be near-blind for clouds above about 5000 ft, at least in Southern Europe where the video was shot).
  23. RaptyrOne
    Do you perhaps own the TDS GTNXi ? I don't get a safe mode message like you but often when I close the sim after a flight, the TDS GTN will silent-crash in the background, even if I was not in an aircraft that uses it. It is only noticeable by checking the Windows Reliability Monitor, otherwise I would not know it happened at all. It is a known bug and the TDS team is aware and looking into it - basically it does let go of the sim when the sim is closed, causes an "unclean" shutdown.

    From your video, ActiveSky’s representation looks wildly better to me. Default just looks so simple and almost two dimensional. ActiveSky looks exactly like the weather I saw out of my window on my real world flight yesterday. I’m grateful we have options available to us regardless!

    Lovely shot and reminder of the extremes at both ends of the nobility scale we as humans have achieved/endured at times.
  26. CaptKornDog
    Ugh. I don’t even care about the Airbus at this point; would rather just have the other performance improvements and fixes.
  27. Cpt_Piett
    Excellent! I inadvertently entered several spins in the 146 on the last flight, when trying to do a custom start in mid-air. Could not recover, scary as word not allowed! Ive got everything set to realistic in terms of damage, so overstressing the airframe will end the flight… I think it was mentioned in the latest JF video that the ceiling altitude is 13,000ft? So… Innsbruck to Milan? 😁

    Great set of shots, P_7878, and glad you enjoyed the place! With so many scenery addons on my system it's often a while before I get to re-visit places, but the Scillies are one of those places that I do go back to (relatively) often. It helps that they are sort of in my backyard for real, and there's a lot of nice scenery between me and them as well. Haven't tried them in the DC-3 though. But that's got me thinking I might take the C-130 or the Chinook down there for a trip soon.

    Thanks for the video. I have to admit that I’ll miss this when running in preset mode. Still testing though, only a week since release. On every single flight I change between preset and passive mode to check the difference. I guess the difference is more pronounced when there some significant weather activity in the distance. So far I’ve been pretty happy with preset mode, I have to admit. I was meaning to do that but I forgot. I’ll do a comparison in my next video (if I remember!). I’ll make it a short one, exclusively for comparing REX/ASFS. And perhaps also default? Just need to get my head around how to do it the best way.
