Most joysticks do not need special drivers since they are natively supported in Windows. Sometimes drivers can add a few features like more advanced callibration or virtual buttons but in most cases the are not really needed. Have you searched the internet about this? I just did and the top result was a link to a similar question posted in the official Flightsimulator forums: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/windows-11-not-recognizing-logitech-joystick-extreme-3d-pro/580952/2 In the top of that thread there is a link to an unofficial driver that is supposed to work, but I recommend to only do that as a last resort (or rather not at all). Most replies on that thread write that it works without installing any special driver. In fact if you have the official logitech driver installed it can actually help to uninstall it.

I think the exact opposite; instead of tweaking, tinkering and toying with tools he is actually using the sim for what it was made for: flying.

In the real world I would prefer a sleek aircraft that is fast. It also would need to be cheap, so I would probably had to compromise. That's what where these aircraft come in. Those that have such an aircraft would not call it slow and ugly, they would say it has "character"😉 In the sim however it is different. When I am simflying I am not in a hurry to get from A to B, I want to enjoy myself and indulge in nostalgy. Same as with glass cockpits. many prefer steam gauges but I guess that in the real world they would prefer a glass cockpit with all the modern conveniences.

Any reason why they don't say it is a model of a Beechcraft C24R? Is that to prevent legal issues? I do like much of what I saw in the video, but we are spoilt with some good quality in-depth aircraft already. I am currently flying the BSQR Duke and the JF Piper Tomahawk a lot, and I noticed that my A2A Comanche has been in the hangar for far too long. Meanwhile, where did I last park that Milviz Cessna 310 and Hondajet? And I still need to find the time to dive into the Fokker 28 and to learn its systems, and somewhere on my harddrive is a PMDG 737 that is gathering dust. The DC-6 also deserves some attention. So will I not buy this one then? or shall I? The aircraft seems similar to the JF Piper Arrow's I also have, except off course its a Beechcraft, and the arrows are becoming a bit outdated. Perhaps I should get one of the Arrows out for a spin, to check whether they are still relevant.

Are you sure? Or is it that people who don't use filters usually do not talk about it either? I surely don't, and I usually skip threads about filters because they don't interest me at all. This is the first one I actually browsed because I didn't see another more interesting thread.

That could be solved by adding a virtual co-pilot to the aircraft, like the flight engineer that PMDG added to the DC-6. It'll be extra work off course but having someone do the calculations, engine start of flight planning can help learn the aircraft' systems on the fly, literally. That would actually be realistic since even the modern airliners require 2 pilots to operate safely.

I did too, mainly because I also watch youtube on my TV and I could not find an adblocker for that device.

I use NeoFly. It gives me a purpose and (for a while) also something to aim at as you advance from novice pilot to senior captain. Once you reach senior captain (takes a while) there are no further advancement options thoughm but you still have the purpose of flying missions. I mostly fly transport missions (people or cargo) but you can also to choose to tow banners in a specific area, fly parachutists, fly tourists over a particularly scenic area, become a fire fighter etc. In its most strict mode you have to earn money in order to buy new aircraft but you can also rent available aircraft. But you choose a less strict mode that allows you to do anything without having to work for it. I like it that hard landings can destroy your cargo (you will even hear things break) and will wear down the aircraft so you will have to spend money on repairs. I also like the virtual secretary that tells you that "the passengers have gone crazy at the tax-free shops on the airport" or becomes enthousiastic when a famous VIP is one of your passengers. When you start a flight you will get a list of available missions suitable at your airport and can filter on things like range or type of mission. You can also see the missions on a map. Missions with VIP's are restricted to jet aircraft unfortunately. When you want to rent or buy a specific aircraft you must either be lucky it is available at your current airport or fly to another airport where it is available. You can search for a specific type and see a list of locations. Mostly, larger airports will have mostly jets and larger prop airliners while you can find the smaller GA's at the smaller airports.

If your are installing a fresh Windows 11 I would skip cleaning up and uninstalling stuff. Just wipe the harddrive and install Windows 11 from USB. I would also prefer installing 24H2 right away instead of first installing an older built and then upgrading. But since I am planning a complete new build once the 9800x3d and Nvidia 5080/90 are available so I probably won't bother at all and just install MSFS2024 right alongside MSFS2020 until then.

Ignore, forum issues again.

Are you using the Xbox Game bar App? AFAIK it should make sure the best cores are used and activates core parking when games are active. Perhaps this link explains it more.

You could try to re-calibrate the throtte: TCA_Quadrant-Throttle_Calibration.pdf (thrustmaster.com) If you have installed the drivers properly, the USB game controller settings in Windows should look a bit different than before and have a few more options.

That's probably because most people do not have this issue. I certainly haven't and if there were many more we would have read about it it by now on these or the official forums. It is most likely a conflicht between the WU and another addon you have, which could be anything. It could even be one of the default aircraft that is used in that bushtrip that is causing the issue, either because its files have been damaged, it has been modified or is simply missing, but that's just a few of the possible causes.

In the old days, the credo was that you never used more than 1 slot per channel unless you also set the memory at a slower speed opr higher latency. There is a limit to what the memory controller can handle and using all slots on full speed is generally too much. It will either not work or cause instability. That is IMHO still the cases. Additionally, since the memory controller is integrated into the CPU noawadays, more RAM sticks will cause the integrated controller to become warmer, which in turn might cause the CPU to reach its thermal limit and throttle down. If you want 64GB, replacing the 2x16GB with 2x32GB sticks of similar or better performance is the way to go. I doubt whether you will need it for MSFS though. Having said that, if you are building a new system it is not a bad idea to consider 2x32GB configuration, but for the same money you could buy faster memory which might be a better choice.
