About Me
Started with MS flight simulator back in 1987 when it was version 2 (I think), stuck with it till now (FSX, FSX-SE, P3D all versions and MSFS), couldn't get along with X-Plane (Sorry).
I work in aircraft maintenance since 1990, worked on L1011, MD11, B777-200/300/F, B747 classic -400 and -8F, E-170, A320/1, and B787-9/10.

New version of Rex Accuseason

Hi Mike, does it have a silent mode, meaning when automation is activated, can it start and update and close by it self with no singing birds? -
Tobii EyeTracker 5 advice
penta_a replied to MrBitstFlyer's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
try lowering head movement sensitivity (second option from bottom I think) to 0.80 or less, I found that stability improves especially when entering data into MCDU. Note: you might need to try a range of settings till you get it as close as you like, my setting is based on my ultra wide monitor 49", yours might differ. best of luck. -
HDR Samsung g9
penta_a replied to cchiozza's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etc
I was under the impression that your HDR selection switch under display setting in window 11 is grayed out and can't be select ON, if you can select it On with no issue and you have grayed out display (washed out), try this tip that might work for you: good luck and best regards. -

Strange stickers on my PMDG 737 ?

[16AUG23] PMDG 737 for MSFS Updated to Build 3.00.0072 17Aug2023, 00:54 Captains- PMDG 737 MSFS: Micro Update to 3.00.0072 via Operations Center: A quick advisory to let you know that we have just released a new update via the PMDG Operations Center. This update brings your 737 current to build 3.00.0072. The primary purpose of this update is to fix the "Barbie Decal" problem that we experienced with our 3.00.0071 update from Friday. There are no other changes in this build, aside from a fix for the decal issue that occurred only through the 3.00.0071 micro update. If you installed build 71 from the installer that you downloaded from pmdg.com, then this update will simply bring you up to date with the version number- there are no functional differences. Safest bet: If the Operations Center tells you that you have an update available- go ahead and update. Then you will have the lastest! -
Strange stickers on my PMDG 737 ?

[12AUG23] URGENT NOTAM for PMDG 737 MSFS Users 12Aug2023, 06:44 Captains, This is an urgent NOTAM for all PMDG 737 Operators in the MSFS platform. WHAT: On 11AUG23, we issued a new build for all 737s to bring users up to build 3.00.0071. For reasons that are currently undetermined, certain files that are part of the update are not being properly transmitted, resulting in the loss of certain decals and details on the external model of the airplane and yield rather topical Barbie-pink patches in places that should be covered with decals. WHEN: This problem affects customers who run the micro-update out of the PMDG Operations Center. It does NOT affect users who install the latest build from the PMDG installer that can be downloaded through your user account at pmdg.com HOW TO CORRECT: At this time, we recommend that affected users uninstall the 737 from MSFS, then download the installer from their user account at pmdg.com. The installer does not exhibit this behavior if you uninstall, then reinstall the 737 as we recommend. You do not need to uninstall your liveries in order to effect this update. -
image1164×224 32.7 KB RELEASE NOTES 1.34.11.0 If you are playing on PC, outdated packages in your community folder may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behavior. If you suffer from stability issues or long loading times, move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title. How to install a new update safely 1 General Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where uninstalled standard content would automatically reinstall. Several crashes have been fixed across the title. Added logbook compression to fix an issue where the logbook stopped recording flights after reaching 16MB limit size. Several localization improvements The dark line that appears on the horizon in some situations is now less visible. For the AAU_02 update, we made a change to allow control of the cursor with all joysticks and not only with a gamepad. This change had the unintended consequence of causing the central white dot to display when moving the camera or when using a joystick/mouse at the same time. To address the issue, we’ve added two new options to allow players to customize the cursor behavior: You can access these new options from Options > General Options > Accessibility. SHOW WHITEDOT CURSOR (Default = ON) : Display or hide the central white dot cursor when the camera moves. USE CURSOR FOR ALL JOYSTICKS (Default = OFF) : ON will allow all joysticks to control the cursor. If set to OFF, this will be the same behavior as before AAU_02. Please note this change is only available on PC at this time but will come to Xbox in the next SU13 beta build. Glass Cockpits Garmin G3000 / G5000 Fixed an incorrect unit conversion that could cause the MFD navigation data bar ISA field to display incorrect values in Fahrenheit. Fixed an issue where the FOB SYNC instructions would still appear on the GTC Weight and Fuel page if the page was opened after FOB was already set. Fixed multiple issues that could sometimes cause the GTC VNAV page and Flight Plan Text Inset not display the correct Active VNAV Waypoint. G1000 Nxi Fixed an incorrect unit conversion that could cause the MFD navigation data bar ISA field to display incorrect values in Fahrenheit. Fixed the issue where the PFD was not showing the VNAV target altitude. Fixed the issue with waypoint alerter flashing after landing or passing DTO’s. Fixed multiple issues that could sometimes cause the Active VNAV Waypoint, VSR, and VDEV fields on the MFD FPL page to not display the correct values. Aircraft General Diamond DV-20 GNS Screen made interactable. CAP10 GNS Screen made interactable. Boeing 787-10 / Boeing 747-8i FMC: CLB thrust limit is now retained in cruise, and selected when climbing. FMC: Selecting a new approach while flying an approach procedure should no longer break the approach speeds in the new approach. CDU: Clearing a CDU message now clears it on all CDUs. SYS: Fixed issue where LANDING ALTITUDE message appears when in AUTO. [747] AP: The bank angle limit used while in HDG SEL mode now properly follows the selected bank angle limit selected on the MCP. [747] AP: Fixed AUTO bank limit to be max of 25 instead of 30. [787] EFB: Fixed input from operating system keyboards. [787] EFB: The wind field on TAKEOFF REF page is now copied to the EFB when initializing the EFB takeoff page. [787] SYS: Fixed an issue where HIGH CABIN ALT MODE would appear in the wrong conditions. Daher TBM 930 Fixed an issue where the EIS Ng gauge could report slightly inaccurate values. VR Corrected an issue that would cause some Touch enabled glasscockpit not to work in VR mode. SDK SimConnect SimConnect_GetInputEvent and SimConnect_SubscribeInputEvent has been changed to be more explicit. Check documentation for more information WASM Added the possibility to register wasm event with a context Some error messages were missing when a wasm module becomes dirty [SDK][Wasm] rapidjson has been integrated to the SDK to simplify Wasm-JS communication

Is MSFS 2024 going to be a subscription model?
penta_a replied to penta_a's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Because they answered (NO) with complete confidence without proof, everything is still hanging in the air to me, but there are signs leaning slightly to a (yes), up to now at least 🙂 . -
