Dusty weather in the middle east and north africa
jcjimmy replied to penta_a's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Hi, Interesting idea. I can remember seeing dust storms and dust devils right here in the USA. It would add realism to the new MSFS. However, the development team must be hard pressed just to come up with a useful, realistic flight sim this year and encompassing many of the ideas on the forum. -
The beautiful old biplane has been updated to XP11. This is freeware released by XPFR.

Article about FS2020 at wired.com

Hi ArchStanton, Thanks for taking the time to post the Wired article about MSFS2020. It was interesting, informative and well written. -
Hi, Looking at the skill and versatility of the development team, a drivable vehicle would be a piece of cake. In X-Plane there's a Canadian airport - CZST Stewart - where I drove around the village for the fun of it. And it was neat and added another dimension to the simulator.

I'd like to see an occasional human being. The visuals of the new MSFS are stunning, but the absence of humans on the ground is startling. It reminds me of the movie "On The Beach" where streets are empty except for blowing trash after a nuclear war. Anyway, I see a lot of "wants" on these pages and good luck to the developers in accommodating some of them. I am pleased that Microsoft is getting back into flight simulation with gusto.

Existing aircraft compatibility? Really?
jcjimmy replied to AviatorMan's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I favor a modern, state of the art flight simulator. As for aircraft, the new sim should come with a variety of quality aircraft that satisfy the range of interest of most sim pilots to start. Anyway, these are interesting times. Good Luck to Microsoft and hoping they stick by their guns and get the job done right. -
Hi Nevian, I haven't flown it in a while. It was a nice flying bird and smooth. According to the .org it was updated 24 Apr 2019 and is on sale. One thing I like about the A350 is its general layout - a nice, well proportioned aircraft.

Orbx Great Britain South
jcjimmy replied to jtwhite's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
olderndirt and others, Thanks for the mention of the sale. I bought the Southern Britain program as a result. I did a short hop out of Southampton EGHI in a Robin. The scenery was very well done and frame rates were better than expected - 45 fps. In tight turns I had some stutters. But, a good buy overall. Thanks again. -
Hi, I tried yesterday with rc3. A sim message said it wasn't supported - a beta thing. I flew it anyway and it crashed after several minutes.

I can't find the Nimitz. Has it been removed? I have searched high and low - no joy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just released.

Hi Parafin, Thanks for the tip on the helicopter handbook. I have had limited success so far. Your tips in general and the handbook should help a lot. Thanks.

Hi VeryBumpy, Thanks for the videos that brought a smile to my face and reminded me of the good old days.

Aerobask Robin DR401 CDI 155 1.12
jcjimmy replied to jt8d9a's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Harransor/Aerobask, Many thanks for the generous gift and beautiful aircraft. -
Follow up. I tried Full Screen with the box checked for "Show location of pointer...." and it worked fine - no disappearing pointer.
-
Hi N1125Y, You might try - Settings - Mouse - Additional Mouse Settings - Mouse Properties - Pointer Options - Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key (and check). I haven't tried this myself. I just went back to the Window Mode. Good luck.

I agree with jt8d9a. nhadrian must have put a lot of time into this upgrade. It works very well in XP11. It's nice to pull the C152 out of the hangar for some fresh air. Thanks also to Carenado for cooperating in his work. I hope that many of my other languishing XP10 aircraft find talented people for XP11 compatibility.
