British Airways Boeing 707 - Cairo to London...
Can't anyone do a Flight Director correctly??? The airplane symbol is orange or white, and the command bars are yellow. How many cockpit pictures are there on Airliners.net! Then, we have "V" bar flight director command bars with a split cue flight director airplane symbol! I'm saving my money on this one. Rich Boll

Please be aware todays (1 Oct 24) update can cause crashes
So let me understand this... A “Bush Trip - Scotland” package is crashing the singularly most used add-on in the MSFS community? A “Bush Trip - Scotland”? Really! Yes, I'm going to remove a “Bush Trip - Scotland” to keep flying throughout the rest of the world.

Landing Worse with Rudder Pedals
One thing that you must understand with the MSFS flight controls...or any flight sim controls...is that the game controller movement may not match 1 to 1 with the real airplane or the simulated airplane. For example, on my PFC yoke (a very expensive yoke), I can only move the control wheel 60 degrees, left or right, either side from center. The real airplane yoke can move 90 degrees left or right. So, the simulator must scale 90 degrees of the airplane's control movement into 60 degrees of movement of the flight controller's yoke. If you use linear scale, the amount of flight controller movement in degrees will be exaggerated in the movement of the actual aircraft's control yoke in the simulator. That leads to over controlling of the airplane. With your new rudder pedals, they likely do not have near the fore and aft movement (throw) of the real rudder pedals. In the real airplane, they can move 6, 8, maybe 10 inches. Your rudders move fore and aft maybe 3 inches? Again, a linear scale will exaggerate the movement of your rudders on the floor and the movement of the rudders in the simulator. That leads to overcontrolling. There are some solutions. First, with rudders buy a set with the longest fore and aft throw. Same goes for any controller. If you cannot find or afford one, then you can use the MSFS Controller Sensitivity settings to set a "negative sensitivity" that flattens the response curve for initial small movements and larger movements as you move the rudder more. Sometimes, with controllers you need to use the Extremity Dead Zone to allow your rudder controller movement to match the airplane's rudder movement in the simulator. However, this means that you give up full rudder movement in the airplane. One way to see how this all works is to sit in the cockpit and set the controllers sensitivity settings so that the controller movement matches the flight control movement in the simulator through the initial 50% of movement. You will then have more sensitivity with the later 50%, but that may be an area of flight control movement that you seldom use. Again, trial and error will help. Also, consider moving the reactivity to lower levels. MSFS is way too sensitive. Every airplane flies like a Pitts in MSFS with reactivity set to 100% It is hard to find flight controllers that have the full control movement that match the aircraft. Same process holds in XPlane.

Flysimware Learjet 35 Trim Issue
Looks like you might have accidently moved the PITCH TRIM control to "OFF". It is right next to the SEC TRIM paddle switch. Check and make sure that i is set forward to primary. If that is not the problem, the make sure that you are pressing the arming button when you move the control wheel barrel switch with your mouse. It can difficult to move that switch with a mouse, so it is better to bind the primary trim to a joystick button. Go to the Flysimware Discord to find help in binding these switches to your joystick.

ASCA HD resolution pack
How do you download the 4096 texture resolution package? I purchased ASCA from FSshop, but I do not recall seeing an option to purchase the HD package. Also, there is no option to separately purchase this HD package on their website/ Is the HD package a separate purchase, an optional download, or a feature "yet to come"? thanks! Rich Boll Wichita KS
