    Hi All

    I am a long term P3D user making the switch into MSFS…. Setup seems much easier but I wondered if there are any guides/recommendations for setting up a new install and what if any add ons are recommended?

    For reference in P3D I used

    Active sky plus cloud art

    Little Nav Map

    EFB V2

    GSX level 2

     

    Thanks in advance

    Matt

    Have you installed MSFS? Maybe you should start there?

    Here is an FAA Advisory Circular giving guidance on certification. 

    https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_61-136B.pdf

    I had no idea that there was an AC for a BATD.

    Even Sporty's is spreading the word. Even thought FAA approved Flight Sims have been around for many years, I think that it's only recently when I've seen Sporty's pushing them to satisfy currency. There must be a market for these home simulators.

    AIUI, at the bare minimum you will need a professional licence for XP11 and organise a visit from the FAA.

    You may also need some kind of association with an ATO (Approved Training Organisation)... but from your name since I guess you are a CFI... probably not so much of an issue.

    then there is the "what aircraft" question, aiui the C172 is "good to go", but for others they need some finalising to get signed off.

    Best person to ask this question for details is "probably" Austin.. 

    The 172 is all I need to perform and log the holds, track nav courses, do 6 + approaches. Saves alot of $$$. Thanks.

    These various "traffic addons" don't really do the job.

    For me, a true "traffic addon" would need to do the following:

    1. Nice-looking models.
    2. Set-up is "set it and forget it"
    3. Real-time traffic: what I see taking off and landing at my real airport is what I see (with delay) in the sim.
    4. Planes behave realistically and not eratically
    5. Not a fps killer

    The likelihood of me marrying Kim Kardashian is by magnitudes higher than someone ever delivering this kind of "package". UT from Flight1 came close.

    ....Oh, hi Kim, so glad you called....

    I would add GA traffic. It should also work with an updated ATC. Only ASOBO can fix what is broken in these important areas.

    I have 14 GF modules and all of them are working after many trials and errors. You do not need any additional software simply the latest GF version 2.28 (if my memory serves me well since I am away from my PC for the next three months).

    What you need though is an old FSX disc and install it. From your GoFlight folder extract the FSX exe file and put it on your desktop. In your GF configuration select FSX. When you start MSFS, start also the GF FSX.exe file and MSFS will trigger your GF modules.

    I tried to explain all of this out of memory but I may have missed something. In case you have a problem, go to the official MSFS forum and read this thread, scroll to post  103, you will have a more detailed explanation and can interact with other GF users who have resolved this issue as I did.

    Also, if you have the registered version of FSUIPC, you can programme most of your modules in case you do not have an FSX disc.

    This is what I did and my GoFlight modules work great.
