  1. I've run into multiple ai flaws/incorrect facts, down right wrong responses. I'm getting about 50% accurate ai responses in MSFS 2024 related queries. I've also seen quite a few yt videos that are obviously where the creator uses ai and boy can it screw up the video if the creator does not proof the video properly. AI is only as good as the creator/programmer/user is at creating solid factual data. Too many yt video creators are lazy and just let ai do it's thing without confirming everything is accurate and correct. I'm getting to where I don't like what I see & hear from ai this and that. Nuff said. Off my soap box now.
  2. No. Had that previously until I complied and disabled my ad blocker for their site. This new experience was a window like that, but white in color stating I needed to view the ad in order to gain 24 hour access.
  3. I was trying to search for a mod on flightsim.to and got a popup ad window that is holding the content for ransom, stating I must first view their short ad in order to gain access to the sight for 24 hours. Unfortunately I am unable to paste a copy of the ad image. I even have my ad blocker turned off for their site and still they want to push ads. Pitiful, imho. Edited for update: I went back a while later and did not get blocked by the same or similar ad. Then, coming back a third time I received the same "view the short ad to gain 24 hour access to the site" popup that blocks access. Not sure what is going on but to me, it is rather sketchy.
  4. I also use live weather and Active Sky in passive mode. Suits my needs quite well for GA & airline flights.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. Orbx KATL is a very good choice, meets your long haul needs. It should easily cover Europe & South America for your 777.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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!
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
