If I hit alt-tan I get a message I’m tryin to open a app that hasn’t been approved

Using quest link,I have tried the default buttons but they don’t seem to do anything,also if I hit the vr mode button in msfs settings I get a split display but everything freezes and I have to restart my pc

Hi just got my quest 3 today and trying to get msfs 2024 to run in vr mode, however after setting up I only seem to get msfs to display in a 2d mode in my headset, I don’t get any head movements when I am in the cockpit, the view is like looking at a tv picture in the headset.I have followed various YouTube videos but don’t know what I have done wrong as when I set up the quest and switch on I get vr in the headset I can look left right etc. jim

Settled on lg 42in oled tv c4 which I have just set up,the 55in was too large for where I do my simming and the 42 fits in nicely running at 120hz vsync on at 33% keeping locked at 40fps not sure if this correct setting but getting a nice smooth experience and excellent visuals on this tv gpu running 63-82% and vram not going above 83% using msfs2024. thanks for all your advice

Thinking of getting 42in oled tv 120 refresh rate,if I lock vsync at half refresh rate and don’t get 60fps would I then be able to adjust refresh rate to 60 and vsync to half refresh rate which would give me 30fps which I know on my system runs smooth,at least I will have upraded the tv which I will also use for viewing tv programs

My Sony tv which I used with msfs 2024 is needing replaced, I have been running msfs 2024 at 4k 60hz with sync set at half refresh this keeps fps at a constant 30 and I’m happy with the smooth experience, I have been looking at monitors and a lot run at 120 or 144 refresh rates if I chose one of those can I still run msfs at the above settings so I still get a smooth experience or go with a smaller tv screen size(43in) at 60hz. jim

Thank you didn’t realise this was automatic when the tug connected/disconnected

Just learning the airbus a320 and in a few YouTube tutorials I have noticed a nosewheel disconnect message on the ecam, i can’t see any switch or button to switch off the nws appreciate the help.

Smooth and scenery looking crisp also cockpit looking a bit more colourful

Just installed v0.4.4.4 using clean install as I have switched to the Su1 beta but the app opens but when I start msfs2024 I get a error message and the app closes have I got the wrong version for the beta

Just moved to pc so this is the first time I have used Autofps , I select 40 fps and let Autofps do its magic and am very happy with the results thank you for the continuing work you do. jim

Ok I purchased fsx se but how do I get it to install to a different folder steam looks as though it is going to install in program files. Thanks Jim

Thanks I will go and install fsx se Jim

Hi thinking of getting fsx se but was wondering if it's still best To install out with the programs folder ie E/Fsx. Can you still use nvidia inspector Can you still use dx10 mode and dx10 fixer. Thank you,Jim

Which interface should you use simconnect or fsuipc. Jim

Hi I have reinstalled Windows 7 and now going to reinstall panel builder I originally purchased from fs pilot shop so to reinstall I just download the latest demo verisio for fsx and then use my original licence code. Thanks jim

Set up direct connection but no difference needles on some of the gauges move like the second hand on a clock standard gauges run smooth after adjusting the update rate down to 150ms, can't understand panel builder used to run smooth a2a no problems just build panel and fly, I reinstalled panel builder and a2a addon notice the panels I built previously where still there is there a folder with panels I have built be deleted so I can start fresh. Jim

Hi have been doing some testing if I use the standard gauges and change the rate in the panel builder interface from 250 to 150 then all the gauges run nice and smooth if I use the a2a gauges and interface if I change the rate then gauges run smooth apart from the airspeed and the rpm gauge I can't get them to run smoothly, I was running a older version of the a2a and had no problems but since I installed the newest update the a2a has not been smooth I have also reinstalled panel builder to latest update. Jim

Hi after running panel builder for a couple of years I now have a problem with the gauges being jittery and not running smooth as they had previously I think my network settings got messed up when I networked my two computers using a crossover cable which I believe gives a faster speed between computers, the new network was a public network but could not get panel builder to run at all so I reverted back to a connection thru my router but this is when I got the gauges running jittery so before I do a full reinstall Windows etc on my panel builder computer I would like to try and get panel builder to work with the crossover cables and would appreciate any help in setting this up. Jim

Hi at last gps now working I did a full reinstall of panel builder a2a all is working, I notice that my gauges are not running as smooth as before even when not using gps I have my computers linked thru my internet connection is there anyway I can check to see if panel builder is set up properly thanks again for your patience and help Jim

i will send some screenshots jim

Yes I just want to use online map not layers but I cannot see online maps in the drop down box just map layers so I need to know where the online maps are and how to select the configuration file, I must apologise but I'm not very computer savvy Jim

Ok downloaded latest version, click on external map layers,then open street maps, box opens up select map layer file, where are the map layer files stored Jim

Ok I thought the mfd was fully resizable but that's not a problem, but can't get open street map to display in the mfd even after selecting open street map in the drop down box I do have Internet connection. Thanks,jim

Hi I installed the mfd and I have a couple of questions. 1 I am using the mfd on second touchscreen monitor the mfd gauge is square my touchscreen is rectangle how do I get the gauge to fill the display. 2 online maps i understand how to install but not sure how to download to my pc so I can add them to the mfd. Thank you, jim
