Thanks. I assumed they fixed it with patch 4.1.1, but apparantly not yet.

I have the Chancellor since its earliest release and I love it. But updates 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 suddenly broke it: all engine gauges are not working, and i seem to be the only one with this problem. Anyone else noticed this?

@SquadronLeader - I had the same problem and your solution worked. Many thanks!

I had my 4000 Mhz memory DIMM's (64 Gb total) set to 3600 Mhz in BIOS and had constant crashes. Installed Windows 11, reinstalled MSFS, installed the latest drivers, all to no avail. Then I lowered the frequency to 2400 Mhz and the crashes were gone, even with the most demanding addons. No noticeable degradation of smoothness or graphic quality. I can't guarantee that's the solution to everyones problems, but its worth trying. Paul

EBAW Antwerp (Belgium) is also a very well done freeware scenery. Video: https://www.facebook.com/ebawforfs/videos/1787098864935463/ Download: http://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx/belgium.html Paul

FlyInside apparently needs an update for v 4.3. Meanwhile: time to test native VR for the first time. Paul

I have it installed in FSX Steam, with no issues. Other than slightly better behaviour of the mouse pointer and support for Oculus Touch, I see not much difference with the previous version.

The resolution is indeed still the weak point in VR. It`s like looking through a screen door, and you often have to lean in to be able to read text. On the other hand, the feeling of immersion is so strong that I can easily overlook the disadvantage of seeing the pixels - after a short while I only notice them when I have to read something. I`ve lost all interest in flying by looking at a screen, even a large 29`` screen like I have. VR really IS the future of flight simming, and I guess it will take off rather fast. Once you`ve tasted it, it`s hard to go back. Sure, you can wait untill the technology has evolved to perfection, but many of us didn`t wait either to take up flight simmimg until it reached the level of realism we now take for granted. Paul

You get that effect when you use FlyInside together with Ezca. It disappears when you close Ezca. Of course your problem might have a different cause. Paul

I have it running on aan imac with no compatibility issues, no reason why it wouldn't run on a laptop. If performance is adequate, depends on the muscle power of your laptop. Paul

Hi I have a few sims om my iMac (i7): FSX (with quite a bit of addons), Flight, Trainsim 2012 and Cities XL. They take up about 300 Gb of a 500 Gb partition. I run Windows 7 Home Premiuim (64-bit) - which I would recommend. This might give you an idea. Performance is very satisfying with all sims, except Trainsim which is rather average. If you apply the DX10 patch, FSX does very well in DX10 preview mode on the iMac. Paul

The quote says 'new aircraft'. Unless my understanding of English (not my native language) is flawed, that's a plural. Otherwise it would say 'A' new aircraft. Nobody seems to pick that up. I'm quite confident at least one 'deluxe' aircraft will be offered, but as a separate purchase. Paul

I have both. Although Realair is a top class developer, the A2A Spitfire ranks a class higher, both in visual appearance as in depth of simulation and sheer pleasure to fly. I particularly like the little details like the shaking of the instrument panel at startup, the way the engine behaves at low idle and even changes the color of the exhaust smoke, the way the canopy fogs up if you descent from cold air into warmer air and you forget to turn open the ventilation...Of course, there is also a difference in the version being modeled. The Realair simulation is of the later and more powerful four bladed propeller mark IX, A2A models an earlier mark II version with two or three bladed propeller. Even without Accusim I like the A2A version better, but with Accusim there's no more comparison.Paul

MS Flight should take a look at the App Store for the mac. Like the app store for the iPhone/iPod/iPad, it's a convenient place to find all kinds of apps for Mac OSX which otherwise would remain largely unknown to the broader public. It has all kinds of apps and games in all price ranges, including freeware. But the existence of an app store doesn't prevent you from downloading and installing other content through other sources. This would also be a business model for Flight that would benefit all parties involved, and would not kill freeware. On the contrary. Developers who choose not to use Microsoft Live would not benefit from the larger exposure the online store would offer, but that would be their choice.As usual, MS looked at Apple for a successful innovation and tried to copy it, but ended up not getting it and doing it completely the wrong way. (Unless of course WE are getting it the wrong way, and the addon market for Flight will not be as closed as we understand it).Paul
