What, no mention of the bog?

the hardware is impressive but the software is obtuse to me. I don't know how to get the mcdu to operate with the Fenix. I don't know how to get it working. I can test the buttons with simappPro but don't know how to get it working in msfs2020. In SimAppPro setup I don't know what directories it's looking for. Good hardware, confusing software = no joy.

Does msfs2024 overwrite the content.xml when there are patches and updates?

It does work fine once you get the software installed. I had to disconnect mine to allow me to sign into xbox. The cursor wasn't working to allow me to enter my user id and password. This was after the Asobo patch that supposedly fixed sign in cursor issues. The patch didn't work for me so unplugging it took care of it. Have had no issues since that very frustrating event.

I'm sorry but I'm not hopping through special hoops just to start/sign in to a game. This is beyond rediculous. How something in this shape is allowed out the door is unfathomable. I requested a refund of my $219 from steam. Perhaps someday I'll reconsider if and when it ever works.

I'd say a top fuel dragster is right in that range. 0 to 100mph in .8 seconds

Looking at the honeycomb website, they have no product to sell other than the Xbox hub. Everything else is marked sold out?

The pricing of this device seems below manufacturing cost. Much like the mini FCU was during its fund raising phase. Both the devices are the initial offering for a full set of gauges so once you choose one, you are likely to stick to that brand for future expansion. I looked at Winwing's other offerings and their gear is not cheap at all. Building market share I guess.

After posting this I thought about just deleting all of my steam apps as well as steam and starting from scratch. Though a pain to reload everything, it worked. The new DLC shows up. Case closed

I've spent the last 45 minutes trying to find some way to get support on steam to no avail so I thought I would ask here. I do some travel and like to have FSX steam edition on both my main home machine and a laptop for casual flying. I recently purchased several add ons through steam on my laptop and they don't show up as even available there yet everything is listed on the desktop machine! I'm stumped. I'm not logged in to both machines at the same time so that can't be the problem. I tried deleting the laptop content thinking it would refresh everything but the available download content only lists something I bought last January. Has anyone ever run into this? Thanks.

I would recommend getting a new drive and putting Win7 on that. You can do a stand alone install with the upgrade media without destroying your XP system. I did this as I wasn't sure I was going to like Win7 and didn't want to blow it away. The trick is in getting Win7 activated. I ended up having to do the registry hacks pointed out in the following article:http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/clean_ins...grade_media.aspIf you follow his directions you will get a clean, new install of Win7 on a new partition or drive with the update media and still have the XP partition intact. (I have since done away with the XP stuff as Win7 is very nice. Obviously you'll have to redo the FSX but I would think you'd want to do that anyway with a new OS.Jeff

Hamish,I'm running an ATI 5850, E8400 overclocked to 3.6 ghz, 4gigs of ram, Win7/64 FSX SP2 and an eyfinity setup 5760/1080 and only see the very occasional tear. I primarily use this machine for iRacing and deliberately don't use vsync as it causes input lag which is noticeable when trying to drive a racing car at speed. I'm using the latest ATI drivers with the hotfix (don't have the number here). Due to the huge number of pixels that this system is pushing I run a limited frame rate of 21 which is quite playable. Did you try with and without the Trackir? I've been quite pleased with the ATI card and only wish the drivers would get updated with the bezel management to fix the multi-monitor image misalignment.

Can the acceleration add-on be loaded over the SP2 patch without screwing things up with other addons, etc? I never thought a prior release of software would have features not available in later system releases. I would have purchased and installed the package. (Very late to the FSX party).Thank you,Jeff

I'm running eyefinity but am really disappointed in the lack of bezel management and the warping fish-eye look of the outside panels. Throws the whole look off. I use this maching also for iRacing which renders all three screens independently and accounts for the bezel/panel dimensions. It truely looks amazing and gives a real immersion quality to driving a race car. I'm not sure if the driver changes by ATI to do the bezel management could also clean up the outside monitor view. I suspect it would have to be in the FSX rendering engine. It really is hard to judge distances when looking at the side monitor and then having it be all different once it pops into the center screen ........................

Here is a link to a video to show what I was talking about with the proper bezel management and perspective in iRacing. Everything lines up perfectly: Jeff
