Hi Farlis,

Thanks for the map and the impetus for learning our history.

From the archaeological side, I'd like to be able to, say, helicopter to Pompeii and then "walk" through the town. Carthage, Rome, Herculaneum, Athens, etc., are other examples. I think the broader possibilities exist with this MSFS technology. More recent history or current situations are also interesting.

I love to fly, but I also like to explore.

Abrams Tank: "But I can't wait to see what this sim becomes over the next 3 years."

This same question might be asked after the 3 years are up.

I hope it looks/works as good as the pre-release videos suggested much sooner - like the end of this month.

Awesome? It needs a lot of work to become "awesome".

The pre-release videos and pix were awesome propaganda. No one expected perfection, but MSFS came up short and it is still short.

No doubt, in a couple of years it will improve. It certainly has the potential.

Hi,

Talk about logbook....... I tried a search in MSFS to locate it and I got a bunch of subsidiary files, but not my personal logbook. I'd like to make a copy in case it is obliterated again. Also, some landings were not logged that were ok (not dev.). So, I'd like to correct it. Where is it? Or is it even available?

Thanks.

Hi Twenty6,

The same thing happened to me. I took the c172 in the "Aircraft Packages", made a copy and put the copy in the Community folder. The gtn 750 folder also has to be in the Community folder.

Note: I got the 750 to display - looks great - but 10 minutes into the flight the sim crashed. Might be an MSFS problem, I don't know. Anyway, good luck.

Hi,

I downloaded the Pajero and hope to use it in the "Okavango Delta" safari scenery. Similar, upcoming  exploratory programs may find wheels handy.

Hi All,

Thanks for the tips on the B787 downloads. I just flew a closed circuit pattern to an ils with the XE version and it worked nicely - a major improvement over the default.

I just downloaded the XH version and will give it a shot tomorrow.

Again thanks for the information. And thanks to the talented folks that put the mods together - they do make a big difference in MSFS.

Hi 737-800,

From my perspective, I would recommend a keypad.

i assigned cockpit views to the keypad and it is easier and faster to click one key than the two awkward clicks that came with the sim. At any rate, it might be handy in a number of ways to have a keypad.

Hi Boeing_Driver,

I've tried the MSFS Legacy Importer to "recover" a Carenado T-34B (Mentor) and it was good to see it flying again - but the instruments didn't translate.

Chock made some very good comments on the above topic. You might like to check them out.

Good luck

Hi Chock,

Re: "Depends on the aeroplane and how it was made."

Many thanks for your response. I have done a couple of conversions with the MSFS Legacy Converter, but I have not done well with the instruments so far. There sure is a goldmine of aircraft out there to be properly converted. I'll give the Me-109G a shot.

Hi Chock,

Re: "Incidentally, some of the old Just Flight/Aeroplane Heaven and Flight Replicas bf109s can import into MSFS fairly well."

Does that include the instruments? What is the magic to add the instruments?

I was on Aeroplane Heaven the other day and they have some great aircraft I would like to see ported to MSFS.

Thanks.

leprechaunlive,

Thanks for the heads up. I have been there on safari and it was great. This is one way to get back.

It will be a big improvement in MSFS African scenery.

It seems the MSFS SDK is a work in progress. As it improves, we should see better aircraft from 3PDs. I only have the PMDG DC-6 for XP and look forward to their advanced B737 for MSFS. I hope the SDK gets some love and muscle for the future from MSFS developers.

Please add my approval to this idea.

Good luck with all of your future work and many thanks for contributions to date.

Nice bird. It would be nice for x-country and sight-seeing flights to have an autopilot.

This is very promising news. Good luck and Godspeed to the WT team. And thanks for your many contributions to date.

This cross-platform discussion is interesting. I am wondering if it will reach into Linux and the Mac OS?

X-Plane has worked on all 3 three platforms. Why not MSFS?

Topic New CRJ video series

I like what I have seen so far of the videos. I hope they keep them coming in concise form and are accurate and informative.

Aerosoft: Good Luck with a successful launch

Hi cn3,

I like the views assigned to the numbers keyboard as well.

I cleared the values in the keyboard (check this in options), then after i selected a cockpit view I did  the ctrl/alt # bit. To me it is a lot easier to select one key for a frequently used view than using two keys.

I hope this helps.

DJJose,

Interesting video. Thanks for posting. So many talented people give hope to the future of MSFS.

Six months after initial release I expect big improvements in MSFS. They are overdue. My thanks to the community for their hard work on various aircraft and systems.

My thanks to the WT Team and all the teams/groups that help to try and get MSFS working properly.

So much talent! It is greatly appreciated

Mathijs Kok,

Thanks for the update. Please do not bring us another broken aircraft into a broken flight simulator. Asobo/Microsoft need a New Year's Resolution to get the sim in much better operating order. The delay is understandable and I look forward to the release in 2021. Patience, patience, patience..............................

Happy New Year!

Tschüss

Many thanks for your work and updates!

Hi sauviat,

Thanks for the heads up on a classic aircraft. I was hoping for more watercraft.
