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.

April 2024 Asobo Developer Livestream
penta_a replied to David Mills's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
you read to much into the free thing that I was using to clear my point of the importance of what going to be needed for future growth of market place which is the intended cash cow, and as you said, the updates to MSFS 2020 worth more than what we paid for the original release. -

the current code (inherited from FSX) reached it maximum potential, can't be modified no more, they still have a lot to simulate (as requested by users, check wish list), for example and not limited to, balloons (hot air effects), space travel, seasons, water and sea/rivers/falls/dirt/mud effects, trains, and so on so forth, I won't be surprised if MSFS 2024 became a free update for current users, the goal is to keep market place pumping. -

it is important for them to have both sims run most of the marketplace add ons, that is where the most of the profit comes from, the sim is a platform, you pick what ever suet you based on your budget and hardware capability. -
Active Sky coming to MSFS
penta_a replied to carlanthony24's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I would love to see a side by side comparison between default weather engine and ASFS, I honestly can't see the difference thus far in cloud formation and levels, as far as historical weather, it is another story/subject. -
many thanks Sir
-
would you please explain how can I do that? it has been a long time since I used the inspector.
-
many thanks for the heads up. does swapper do the required changes/tweaks to install the new preset (E)? if not, how can we activate it?
-
OK, try selecting your max monitor resolution (even if it is already selected) and save it, some times what is shown in selection is not what is displayed actually by the monitor. I'm trying to help based on my experience with ultra wide monitor a few years ago. good luck.
-
again, try turning OFF lens correction
-
turn lens correction OFF in general settings, it might help.

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?
