I forgot to address your question about the G1000 & unconventional use in other aircraft, such as warbirds, as you mentioned. This might be possible but would require quite a bit of work to set it up. Perhaps someone with more expertise & experience in this area could give you a definitive answer.

You should fix the typo in the subj line - it's MOZA. Not sure the relevance of mentioning the USB-C connection, there are adapters if you only have USB-A outlets. The G1000, like all other addon hardware peripherals require an interface to connect to MSFS and the aircraft, and a profile allowing all buttons and lights to function as they should. There are 3 great apps that make it easier to configure and use hardware with MSFS 2020/2024: SPAD.neXt, AxisAndOh's, and MobiFlight. Some use FSUIPC but I'm not sure it is as effective. I really like SPAD.neXt. Do a lot of research here and other places to get all of the info you need. That's what I did for my WinCtrl MCDU and it works great. Good luck!

Orbx KATL is a very good choice, meets your long haul needs. It should easily cover Europe & South America for your 777.

I have some interest in this aircraft but have to take these initial "airbus pilot" reviews with a grain of salt because they tend to not want to say much negatives for fear of not receiving future prerelease review offers from the devs. I'll wait and see. I also don't want to purchase via Marketplace if at all possible. Time will tell,, so again, I'll wait and see.

At 71 1/2, flight sim is still and will always be my #1 "hobby". I also have American Truck Simulator that I often use. Those are just for my desktop pc. I also have a PS5 that I play PGA Tour 2k25 & MLB The Show almost daily. It doesn't matter what others think or say. By the way, my oncologist agrees that detailed sims & games that make you think and help with reflexes are a definite advantage and is happy to see me so involved.

I found another texture resizer in .to - DDSqueeze. Crud, it looks it only works with 2020 and not 2024 at this time. Still looking for other options.

Hey, Luis! I use 1080p as well. I'll look into the texture resizer. I saw that thread but haven't dug into it yet. Unfortunately Windows 10 is not supported so it's a no go for me since I don't want to upgrade to Win 11 on my desktop. Have it on my laptop but don't care for it. Thanks & clear skies!

Ok, here are the options I am considering because I have HC Alpha & Bravo, CH Throttle Quad, Thrustmaster T16000 HOTAS, TWCS Throttle & TFRP rudder pedals, & WinWing/Ctrl A320 MCDU: Lorby's Axis & Oh's SPAD.next (will need complete edition possibly for the MCDU) I'm leaning towards SPAD as it appears to be less troublesome with some settings and overall more complete. Comments, pros, cons et al are welcome.

I am now at the point where I need to assign my plethora of controls. It was so easy in XP12, but a counterintuitive mess in MSFS 2024, at least to my tired eyes. I'm open to any suggestions or good link to a guide to setting up controllers. I'm glad TrackIR5 was easy to set up.

I forgot (or thought I had done so) to update my system specs after my son gave me some more components several months back. In the meantime, here they are: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X @ 3.7 GHz, 32 GB 3200MHz DDR4, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB, 2TB SAMSUNG EVO Plus SSD M2, 2TB WD Black Gaming SSD M2, 8TB WD Black Gaming HDD, 4TB WD Black Gaming Ext HDD I have the RTX 3080 12gb which is performing great.

Hey, Bill! Thanks for the info. No, I've not used MSFS 2020, so it is going to be a bit of a learning curve getting used to changes in key commands and general ASOBO/MSFS2024 logic. I just made the purchase of the Fenix A320, Active Sky FS, & Black Square Baron Pro. I wanted one GA and one Airliner to learn the ropes of MSFS 2024. Unfortunately my schedule today is bonkers so it may be tomorrow before I can install and try them out. Thanks again & clear skies.

Dilemma - I'm an avid Toliss Airbus Pilot in X-Plane 12.4.2. My system is meager by today's standards but performs very well in XP12. System details in signature spoiler. I finally decided to try MSFS 2024 to see how my system could handle it, as I would really like to try out the Fenix A320. All the YT Fenix videos have captured my attention. I now have the Steam version of MSFS 2024 and so far, my system is stable. However, I expect the Fenix Bus could bring it to its knees, so to speak. I am tempted to go ahead and purchase the Fenix, fingers crossed that it will fly well enough to enjoy. The one thing I don't like about using MSFS 2024 is that I'll be so very much tempted to purchase a lot of addons. That in itself is a Pandora's Box. Too darn many addons, with more continuously being introduced. Here's my question: Since I'm extremely satisfied with my XP12 setup, should I realistically expect Fenix A320 to function pretty well, enough to satisfy frequent VA flights? Thanks in advance to a fledgling MSFS 2024 user.

The timing couldn't have been better! I just bought a WinWing (WinCtrl) MCDU and along with this update, I am having some very enjoyable flights.

For those who like flying the Guppy, it looks like FlyJSim's version 4 will be released soon. I haven't flown one since the Tin Mouse in FS9. Might be worthwhile.

Do any of the settings in ActiveSky XP12 interfere with this fine piece(s) of work?
