My issue is airport details (The white box) cover mine unless I zoom really close...annoying..

Loved chaseplane in P3d...enabled me to set up different cockpit view heights...worth it just for that

MMMMmmm...Juries out on this one, I have a virtually similar system and get fantastic results in MSFS 2024. Like you I have been thinking "Time I upgraded" as my current system is a few years old. But with each sim update it appears more gets squeezed out of my system so will probably eventually upgrade but not yet.. MSFS 2024 runs perfectly fine for me at present at a lot of ultra settings.

Ron, did you walk back to the FBO/Hangar. You may have left it behind before you walked to your airplane.

Quick, but silly question... I do enjoy using active sky...I fly mainly VFR, what do you guys do if real world weather is a no fly day....historical or not use it?

MMmmmm....too "Glassy" for me..

OOohhh, this may shake the market up for us consumers.

Ryan, How do you ask for support, I think we both agree , 2 G5 units....PFD and HSI would also be great..

OMG, will I see these flying around my local area as a form of transport in my lifetime...maybe not me, but my children and grandchildren highly likely.

Seems I'm not the only one to share frustration at developers not routinely publishing their list of lvars for a given aircraft. One work around I have found is to download the profiles uploaded by guensli on flightsim.to for the aooh or whatever lol. It is a document filled with code BUT it will show you the function you want and the lvar including H:vars etc that makes it work, tough trawling through but it gets there in the end.

I run a reasonably modest system and get excellent results but am continually considering becoming "Current" with a new system, I will eventually. BUT with each sim update it's seems Microsoft are doing my job for me by making my system more efficient pushing my upgrade further down the line.

I'm not an airline flyer, I am a VFR/IFR up to a twin as this Aerostar is absolutely perfect as I also love the retro cockpit BUT with the upgrades a real pilot would make, EG GPS etc One upgrade a real world pilot would (I think) also make would be a couple of G5 units, PFD and HSI, now if A2A would model those in the Aerostar, or even their Commanche as well as I'm sure real world pilots would also do that then it's arrived at perfection for me. I did mention this on their discord and Lewis responded with a "watch this space" so I am optimistically hopeful. As a side note, Flysimware do model the G5 units very well in their aircraft so it's doable.

Whilst I am not a real pilot, to me this sums up this thread with all the "extras" SI is putting in that it appears the a lot don't really want. What has pilot operated lighting go to do with ATC and don't I already control my own lighting with my switches etc, I'm intrigued, I control Landing/Taxi/Strobes/Nav/Beacon and the in cockpit lighting myself with switches...Is there any other lighting I'm missing? Or is it to get the co-pilot to do it when using a checklist?

I use it every flight and find it very useful although if I have an issue I'd like to raise I have to hold my breath and wait to be treated like a child that knows nothing, whoever answers them clearly has no interpersonal skills 😒 What would help enormously would be aircraft developers publishing their list of lvars for a particular aircraft se we can find in in the Spad.Next list, I asked Just Flight this very question a couple of years ago and got a curt reply outlining some complicated way to identify a lvar when you press it, not the usual just flight respons. A2A do it, WB Sim do it so why is it so difficult for other developers to do it, we are not all tech geniuses.

Thankfully I am locked in but agree it has bloated itself beyond offering just ATC, most of the other stuff I don't need (want)
