So, on a lark I picked up the Tobii eye tracker. I've been using TrackIR for as long as I remember. My current unit is more than 10 years old. I've tried setting up the Tobii in MSFS using some of the recommendation on YouTube. One thing I've noticed is that there seems to be just a bit of a lag when panning. Another issue I have is even when my head is still it seems like the view has a tendency to drift which can make it difficult when programming the CDU or flipping switches. Do any of you have settings that you feel really work for you? Any help would be appreciated.

You might find this helpful.

Yep, have the same thing on my iPhone. It comes up on Chrome and Safari. It only appears when I open Avsim on my phone. It's pushed as a Google customer reward program.

Dave, it looks like the update took care of the problem. I was able to get taxi instructions and no lockup. Thanks for the quick work.

Thanks Dave.

Hi Dave, I ran into a problem today with P2A beta 5g, this also occurred in 5h. Everything works fine until I contact ground to taxi to the runway. When I do it seems that the program locks up. I get no reply from ground and all I can hear is the chatter. When I try to bring P2A up from the task bar it won't open. I have to close it from the task manager. The odd thing is, I used P2A yesterday (beta 5g) without a problem. Below is the log from my last flight.

Anyone know what time the train leaves from Los Angeles to Honolulu?🤣

P2A sees the AI traffic but it does not control it in any way. IMO, P2A is still the best ATC option out there.

He's a 777 F/O for American.

You’d get more help on the official PMDG forum. Or you can submit a support ticket.

Blancolirio just dropped a video about this on YouTube.

Archers, medieval artillery.

$49.99 for the 737-900 and the 900ER. Not bad.

It appears the weather servers are FUBAR again. No weather generation at Atlanta.

You're really better off to post on PMDG's official support forum. The developers are there and can either explain why it's operating that way or it will let them know that there's an issue.

They're getting rid of their executive staffs?😁

HP has been rumored to be dropping its VR hardware by the end of 2023. If you do a Google search, there are a few articles on this subject.

I haven't paid a lot of attention to this update. Is there anything in it that is earth shattering?

If that's it, the pushback looks like it had a problem. It's not supposed to be under the fuselage with the nosewheel cranked around. Hard to say what happened. I'm sure everyone is looking to cover their fannies since the news media has the story.

No. The flight crew would be responsible for piloting the aircraft. The ground handlers had to be aware that there were live animals on the plane. The article doesn't state the aircraft type or where exactly it was on the airport.

The fact that there were live animals on the aircraft would be on the weight and balance paperwork along with any freight manifests. I'm sure the flight crew was thinking that the local ground handlers were aware and would take care of the situation. The article doesn't say whether anyone had access to the aircraft to get the animals or if there was any way to get heat on the aircraft while it was stuck. An unfortunate situation. I doubt that we'll ever hear what the outcome was for who dropped the ball.

I'll bet if you lived in Europe it would be a no brainer. In this country you'll be forced to get a lawyer and litigate. That will cost you more than what you paid for the hardware. I'd contact them again and let them know what the third party seller said. If they won't respond favorably, I'd light them up on Facebook and Twitter. Companies hate to be called out on social media. It's their product no matter who you bought it from.

Sounds like BS to me. I worked weight and balance for a major airline and the deduction of a few hundred pound is not going to make enough of a difference to delay a flight. Planes leave all the time without their full complement of catering carts.

Well, you are absolutely no fun. Pretty much a killjoy!😄
