Hi Lorby-SI Thanks for the rapid reply. Your explanation all makes sense and shows how difficult it has been for you navigating through all the ASOBO/MS jungle! I have used your scripts and thanks all work well on aircraft with an immersive EFB but not the majority which just have a popup 2D screen. I guess I'll have to be satisfied with that 😉. I'll try evaluating it a little more but I think I will be buying it. Mal

Can anybody please tell me how to toggle the MSFS2024 EFB using AAO? I usually bind the action using the Controls in FS2024 setting to a convenient button but there doesn't appear a way to do this in AAO. There seems to be no Event/Variable that will do what I want. I am evaluating the demo version before buying and like the axis settings very much but I need to be able to assign all my usual buttons and not use the MSFS2024 Control settings.

How do you perform a very steep vstol approach with a giant redwood literally on the threshold? This is not acceptable. Water towers and trees!! Has this been tested at all? I have been a software engineer since 1968 and would have been as embarrassed as hell to ever have released something as bad as this. I really am not a happy bunny!

I know we are not supposed to complain about Flight as flightsimmers but what on earth does Alaska give the casual gamer? Nothing but pure boredom. That is the way I feel already as a simmer for the last 20 years. No ATC, no AI, Alaska scenery marginally better than FSX. Who on earth are they hoping to attract with this very boring package?

A couple of dozen airports? I don't think so. It seems to be at many dozens of remote airstrips. It's almost impossible to land. As HiFlyer said who the hell beta tested this. They must have been flying a vstol harrier!! How long have MS been working on this. It is quite pathetic. It may not cost much but I wish I had saved my money.

I'm really trying to like Flight but I'm fed up with trying to land in Alaska at airfields with a giant sequoia on the threshold!! This is like the dark days of MS Flight Sim. I know this DLC didn't cost a lot but it also doesn't give you a lot. Airfields that are impossible to land at, no missions/caches, only a rubbish cockpitless aircraft. I want this sim to succeed but MS seem determined to send it to an early grave.

I too am getting very bright nights. The sky is black but the ground textures look nearly as bright as day. :Phbbbt: I can see everything on the ground. If that is meant to represent moonlight then it is a long way off.

Hi SteveYes - spot on. Just what I needed. Many thanks. :( Mal

Hi SteveSorry for being a pain :( but I would appreciate an explanation of the parameters. The help page merely says that the screen provides aircraft settings without an explanation of each. For instance what is the mid and high altitude and how do they relate to the maximum cruise altitude?CheersMal

Hi Steve.Thanks - I can cope with my method for now. Not too much of a hassle. Another issue I am having is the very low cruise altitudes I am getting. On an hours flight in an A321 the cruise is shown as 10,000ft with a climb rate of 1800fpm. I then tried a 1.5 hour flight and the cruise was only 20,000ft. Is there any way I can force it to a higher and more realistic level?RegardsMal

Hi SteveThanks for the tip about sharing the folder to see the briefing on the networked PC. Unfortunately none of the graphics load in the browser using that method. I have saved the briefing page as a complete web document on the laptop and then opened it from there. Mal

Hi SteveGreat program - purchased it yesterday. Is there anyway to get the browser briefing to show on a separate networked computer? I use a laptop to display all my additions like moving maps and Super Traffic Board so that nothing detracts from the view on the main PC. I would like to refer so the briefing during flight and do not want to "lose" the FSX window.Mal

Hi NilsThanks for the reply - the X36 is getting a little old but haven't noticed a problem up to now.:( Perhaps it's time to buy another JS. Love the module now Im getting used to a different way of trimming.ThanksMal

Hello NilsYes the ini file showsTimKey=TrimButton=8The log file showed the following:module_initFound Joystick Saitek X36 Flight ControllerAircraft changed - now Cessna Skyhawk 172SP, trim effectiveness 3.000000Aircraft changed - now Cessna Skyhawk 172SP, trim effectiveness 3.000000Aircraft changed - now Cessna Skyhawk 172SP, trim effectiveness 3.000000Re-aquired JoystickRe-aquired JoystickRe-aquired JoystickRe-aquired JoystickI've added the line:NoDirectInput=1and it now works. The menu items remain on the screen when selected. I've selected a key and assigned it to a button on my Saitek X36 stick using FSUIPC.Hope that helps. The only problem is the "Direct Input disabled - joystick buttons won't be read" message when FS9 starts.RegardsMal

Hi NilsI'm also having a problem with version 1.0. When I try and select anything from the Real Trim menu like Select Key the display only appears on the screen for a split second not allowing time to change anything. I tried changing the key in theini file and it seemed to work initially then stopped. I've set the switch Logging=1 but canot find the log file. The 0.9 version worked fine. Many thanksMal
