I am much the same. My system ( GTX 1070, i7-6700K and 32GB of DDR4 RAM) can run MSFS at High graphics settings pretty well, but I will upgrade when the new GPUs arrive. FSEconomy in combo with MSFS has been great for me. I have using it for two weeks now, and still discovering new things to do, try out. Buying a good plane however might take me some time, but there are so many ways to put your virtual money to use in FSE.

FSEconomy server seems not able to cope with all the new subscribers, because as laggy and slow as it used to be, now it is completely unreachable. Whatever hosting package they have, it is not sufficient to deal with the tsunami of new MSFS 2020 players. The recent success of MSFS is 'killing' FSEconomy. Maybe they reached their monthly quota of website traffic, and need to upgrade their subscription ?

Instructions for making GEAR and FLAPS work with VRinsight M-panel in X-plane 11: Install VRiSim program. This program needs to run in the background, when you want to use any VRi product in any of the fsims Check that the accompanying SerialFP/M-Panel Key Mapper program is also installed. The program VRiSim uses FSUIPC in FSX, so you need the equivalent XPUIPC-plugin installed in X-plane 10/11. I use version 2.0.4.8. OPEN file MPanl.ini met Notepad in C:\Program Files (x86)\VRInsight\bin\ (or wherever you installed it) FIND reference to the correct KeyMap1 location under [Aircraft17] ; X-Plane via XFUIPC . It should read: KeyMap1 = ../M-Panel/Keymap/SFP2_MPanl_DEFAULT.dat . This made the difference for me. So do not use: SFP2_MPanl_XPLM.dat . You would expect the file SFP2_MPanl_XPLM.dat to work - because of the XP reference -, but it doesn't. Open program SerialFP/M-Panel Key Mapper to mapping keys for gear up and down and flaps up and down. · click 'Load Keymap' · Choose SFP2_MPanl_DEFAULT.dat !! First make backup copy of this file (...\VRInsight\M-Panel\Keymap\SFP2_MPanl_DEFAULT.dat )before editing it. So you can always go back to the original !! · Press OK when pop-up window shows. Ignore it. · Click in KeyMapper on the button: GEAR-Up. · Just press on your keyboard (without using mouse) two keys in succession: <Left-Ctrl> and <u>. Now you should see: LCTRL+u · Click with mouse on DONE · Do the same for: GEAR-Dn : keys <Left-Ctrl> and <d>, FLAP-Up : key <1>, FLAP-Dn : key <2>. · Press OK at bottom when you are done mapping the 4 keys with Key Mapper. !! The normal, single FSX/P3D/XP11 'G'-key for toggling gear up/down does not work, because you need 2 separate keys: one key for gear-up, one key for gear-down. 7. Inside X-plane and make sure you have the same 4 key-commands configured (in your Active Profile, if you use multiple profiles). Go to Settings > Keyboard > Flight Controls > Basics > · Flaps down a notch = 2 · Flaps up a notch = 1 · Landing gear down = Ctrl d · Landing gear up = Ctrl u Now, if I could only get the Outer-Middle-Inner (OMI) LEDs to work when doing ILS approach…then finally everything works. If anyone knows, plz let me know!
