Since my original question has been answered, I am shutting this down.

Thanx for all the input. I bought and tested both LookPilot and Beam Eye Tracker. Both seem to have an issue with my 40" monitor. Both looked very good and I could pause, center etc as I wished. Just that sometimes they would lock up at a crazy angle and take a few seconds to recover. Not acceptable in flight. Both devs refunded my purchase immediately with no questions. Down the road, if they can resolve the large monitor stability issue I'd try them again.

Simply put, when I fly with AS it feels and looks better. Perfect? no but, to me, far better than native wx. Some talk about visible transitions, when I fly I rarely notice them unless I am looking for them. I find the winds and turbulence to be more accurate. When I fly without it, things just don 't look as good so, to me, YES it is great for MSFS2024.

I have been a long time user of TrackIR but I like the freedom of Tobii. I tried it about a year ago and unfortunately I had to return it. In using TIR I often look left or right at various switches and click them with the mouse. With TIR I had a rocker switch on my yoke that would freeze the view, let me click the switch and then unfreeze the view and/or center it. Tobii defaults to recentering the view if you pause completely negating the ability to click the button. I realize I could use various viewing apps to set up custom views but all I want is the ability to pause Tobii ( not the sim) and have it freeze wherever I am looking. Is this possible yet?

I've been flying with BATC for a while now and generally love it but lately I have been having a consistent problem. BATC seems to lose track of where I am. I'll be 200 nm from destination and BATC will start vectoring me for the approach - then I'll get something like "you are 185.5 miles from destination - report airport in sight - problem is they have vectored me away from the airport. Very frustrating! Also quite often they will miss my TOD and when I am 20 miles from airport at FL41 I get cleared to land. Considering what they do I am overall very pleased. Just wondering if others have run into similar things. I posted on their Discord but have yet to get any response.

It could be a setting within the GTN itself. You might try reinstalling it from the TDS Manager. Also, have you posted the question on the TDS Discord? They're usually quite responsive.

I echo all the sentiments posted. Living in SoCal, I have flown in the San Diego area for many years. Your work brings back very pleasant memories.

I've been using it for years - just doesn't look and feel the same when I fly without it.

Sorry Hans, I was referring to the MSCopilot excerpt in the posts above, which come from the release notes

I still don't have my head around this completely. Currently I have 3 community folders. The 2020 one in it's flightsimulatorxxxxxxccxxxx folder, the 2024 one in it's flightsimulatorLimitlessxcxcvxxx folder and the community2024 folder in "limitless". The doc says both will read from the same CF but only 2024 will read CF2024. I ASSUME if you needed, you could create a single CF and point both 2020 and 2024 to it and also have 2024 specific items in CF2024. I guess this would save space, I think I'll just leave my 2020CF where it is and ditto with 2024CF. The "new" CF2024 is empty anyway.

looks like it would be perfect for a small cabin, off grid with not too many electrical gadgets.

Can't see this one going anywhere but down. Interesting video, each side will make their own judgements.

I have no problem using the Turbine Duke in SU4. Perhaps something else in your community folder is interfering.

Total agreement Bert. A2A "early access" is better than many RTRM offerings. I'm loving it!

I can ban him, if you'd like! 🙂
