d.tsakiris started following Patches , Is anyone using EXDOC in P3DV5? , Are things looking up weather radar wise? and 7 others

I don't have ChasePlane, but I can say that EzDok Camera (the latest version for V5) works fine* with an up-to-date installation of Windows 11 Home. *: After some Windows updates, I have to run the EzDok Camera SimConnect configurator (EZSC_loader.exe) before it can connect to the sim

When is software "dead"? For about half of my flights I still use P3D. I have an extensive installation if 5.4, with hundreds of add-ons - including yours, Hervé, thank you, and some top-notch aircraft. For the type of flights I do those aircraft, I need historical weather and a weather radar. I still enjoy P3D. After using FS20 for a while, I always look forward to switching back. And I even still buy certain add-ons for it. That said, ecosystem-wise, I have no doubt the MSFS world is the future, and I am following the developments, especially in the ATC area. But until MSFS is completely suitable for what I do, I will continue to also use P3D.

Again, sorry for the delay, but I am really happy to report that the error didn't show on my flight today. I updated to version 3.2.1.0 and applied the patch for 3.1.2.2, and the flight went flawlessly until we were told to contact approach. From that point onward, the FO didn't seem to know which frequency to dial in. When directed to contact approach, the FO just re-contacted the controller we were talking to already, without attempting to change the frequency. Later, when asked to set tower to COM 1, the FO asked for the frequency. I believe this behavior is not new, though. But man, when the FO works correctly, as it did today for the most part, flights are a real joy!

What's the difference? I'd think both are work and thus money spent for the developer. -
So, first of all, sorry for the delay. Didn't have much time for the sim. As for the results: 8 times out of 10, the FO kept repeating the read-back, sometimes as long as there was no new transmission from ATC. Frequency changes and contacting the next facility were very reliable, but sometimes I got the impression the FO wasn't doing what he was saying, meaning: He read back, but didn't do the according key-press with PF3.

I really like the tiller a lot. Delivery was quick (one week from Canada to Europe). Installation is as easy as plugging in and calibrating, then assigning it in the sim. Operation is smooth and precise, the size is perfect and the fit-and-finish is also good. Perfect for my needs, and I'm really glad I came across this thread!

I updated today to 3.1.1.8, and the problem I is back. I could stay on 3.0.6.0, except a) FO handling the radio doesn't work half the time (sometimes he doesn't change frequency before contacting, sometimes there is no reaction at all), and I do use FS20, so I do need the functionality of the newer versions...

Going back to P3D.Need some information please

1) V5.4 for compatibility 2) FSL 3) Yes 4) Or HiFiSim ASCA, or Envtext, or ..., or ... 5) Orbx 6) Yes 7) AIG 8 ) I use PF3 with MCE, but I am looking at FSHud for the future 9) I use only one, I think. It has to do with reducing texture reloading when panning the view. I will have to look it up -
FFX P-180 Just Dropped On Marketlace

That's too bad... -
Yes and no 🙂 I wanted to fly in the US, but the FMS didn't have any data for that, which limited my time to doing pattern work in an A320 - not that I'm complaining 😉 Oh yes. Tought me very quickly just how sensitive the side-stick is. The bang on touch-down was also very convincing. 20 years ago I was spending thousands on track days and Touristenfahrten on the Nordschleife and other tracks, so I get the fascination, I really do. I can, on the other hand, also understand the drawbacks. Thinking of visiting again this year, though, just to watch from the side-lines.

I actually had a go in the A320 sim in Munich a month ago. Graphics were pretty primitive, like FS9, but I was there for other aspects. It was fun, the hour I spent in the sim felt like 15 minutes.
