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.

Is there a way to utilize MSFS NAV database?
penta_a replied to penta_a's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
many thanks for your reply, however I mentioned that I don't have a navigraph subscription and looking to utilize MSFS free nav data AIRAC. -
good morning to all, I don't have a NaviGraph subscription and I get this message (nav data base out of date or something like that in MCDU), if MSFS is updating their nav data base frequently, is there a third party App/Mod to utilize that for third party airplanes like PMDG and FENIX? Best regards.

Beyond ATC just announced lower prices.
penta_a replied to turnandbank's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Did they mention if they are including their own AI aircraft models? Did they mention what AI service they will be injecting? like radar24 or other service ? Are they going to include annual airlines flight schedules for people who chose to play off line? -

Reverb G2 Shaky
penta_a replied to cchiozza's topic in Virtual Reality (VR) for Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
good evening, this app (OXRTK) causes VR to CTD, so I had to uninstall it, is there an alternative way to achieve stable view in G2 reverb? many thanks. -
FPS numbers are not that important to me as long as I get stutter free (smooth) sim with high vidality and no pop ups. thanks for the input.

just to learn more, shouldn't the OLOD numbers be vise versa of TLOD? meaning, when we go higher in altitude, the TLOD gets higher to show more terrain details ahead (to prevent or minimize terrain pop ups) and OLOD gets lower because we don't need to see objects details at high ALT to reduce CPU load? when ALT gets lower OLOD gets higher to show more details on ground (especially airport) to prevent objects pop ups, while TLOD gets lower to reduce far away (unseen) terrain details to reduce CPU load?

TCP/IP V.6 possibly causing loading screen to hang
penta_a replied to forshaw's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
UPDATE: installed SU14 (BETA) and all above is absulet, the sim takes about 4:08min now to load, meaning I have to wait for final release to judge before going through all add-ons again. -
TCP/IP V.6 possibly causing loading screen to hang
penta_a replied to forshaw's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I made a quick test, 1- with nothing in community folder start up time from mouse press to start page=1:37 min 2- tried most of add-ons one by one, found one scenery (Kuwait City+ airport) taking full extra min. 3- found FSLTL basic folder takes about 33sec to load. 4- total load time with both of those items out of community folder, sim loaded in 2:04 min 5- used AIG AI models for load testing and turned to be as same as FSLTL, well it was 3sec more. 6- returned every thing to CF except for Kuwait stuff, I saved full minuet to start page 2:37min, FSLTL is mandatory for me. now I need to find a BAT file to make MSFS start with out those introduction videos to save additional 20-25sec. Note: I don't have GAIST. -
TCP/IP V.6 possibly causing loading screen to hang
penta_a replied to forshaw's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
in my case, this freezing problem during sim boot up for about 2-3 min (at around new activities screen) started after SU12, tried with IP V6 on/OFF, with Ether net or WI-FI with no change. -
What I have noticed since SU13
penta_a replied to Bobsk8's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
same thing happens here, but in my case it was there already prior to SU13, couldn't solve it . it is annoying. -
Tobii EyeTracker 5 advice
penta_a replied to MrBitstFlyer's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
for now I have a logitech speaker (center) that can tilt and swivel, it does a great job, I stuck Tobii bar on top of it with a double face tape, it is secured for now, buying a stand might be in the future if I have to. thanks for your valuable input. -
