So much for 'performance' concerns eh? That is fabulous and I wonder what it would take to bring that to MSFS? I'm going to guess its SDK/architecture might obviate that but don't really know.

FSBirds helps add some life. Before adding pedestrians on city streets I would love to see airports made more alive, with a few more people and especially car traffic coming in and out of parking lots, just a little and when I look at Asobo's animated ground crew I think performance hit would be modest and certainly a slider could be added. I would also love to see trains as well. To me this is ultra conspicuous most airports indeed look like a neutron bomb hit! In fact I would dial back FSLTL traffic density to accommodate this as needed. Besides, when you see what droves of passengers boarding airstairs in GSX does--it's really a very modest perf impact.

It would be nice to see at what altitude the drone cam is as you move it up and down. I don't want to see much or anything more than that to clutter the screen but wondering if there is a setting or an app that can do this? Cheers

So pretty much the same depth and quality? If so, I did the right thing ;o)

Why is the PMDG 200LR so much less expensive than the 300ER?

Did you right-click the start icon > App settings > Reset > Repair I don't think you would want to hit Reset under Reset as that wipes the apps data. I've done this thing a couple of times and both times it restored normal startup, but it was not that it wanted to reinstall itself, it just would not launch until did the Repair option.

It was sure the case at The Open at Royal Birkdale. Just dry scorched all over. Maybe that is more typical of that area in the UK but it reminded of our courses in Denver CO right now w/ the severe drought we're in.

I see what you're saying. For those that are also RW pilots, and since the poll demands an answer to all questions, I think it's safe to assume those RW pilots who also sim are going to choose the numbers of years of simming that best fits for them, right. It's showing what I had hoped. So far, exactly 2/3 of respondents are or have been active RW pilots. And, nearly all have been simming over 20y. Cheers

This is a question about members here that are ONLY Sim Pilots, never RW pilots. And for that group, I'm curious how many have been at flight simming long term, yet never jumped into RW piloting. I'm in that group and have been at it over 20y.

Just for fun looking at Avsim members who frequent the MSFS forums. So if you use the other flight sim fine, doesn't matter for this poll.

That's me, but it's less about life getting busy and more about being stuck in my ways, which is actually a good thing from my POV. I fly for score using Self Loading Cargo and go thru the pre and post flight rituals and despite the fact I do this nearly daily, at least once, I don't tire of it, amazingly, for decades as it were though w/ different sims and addons. Flight simming is potentially an amazingly addictive activity and the fact we spends many thousands of dollars on it is a testament to that and as has been said, ultimately it is a game. Aircraft purchases this past year have been largely a waste of money for me personally, and I half justify it by arguing I'm supporting the 3rd party dev community which is certainly true. I bought 3 planes, all biz jets, in the past 6 months and have yet to use a one of them! I am scheming on the 757 coming pretty soon I think and I'm pretty sure I will add it to my hangar of planes compatible with SLC and GSX.

Thanks again, problem solved :o)

Thank you Vaughan. Do you mean don't activate the VS/FPS button, or don't enter a value?

I'm needing to use it for an artificial condition coming out of Self Loading Cargo. If I use VNAV the climb rate is considered too extreme so your score will get dinged some for that.

I selected V/S, speed 220kt, altitude to 6000' before takeoff. At about 1200ft AGL turned A/P On and A/T On. Maybe it's a throttle calibration issue perhaps? After hitting TO/GA I do push the throttle all the way forward so maybe that's the issue.
