So I'm not the only one! These stutters are always on approach and I'm starting to think that they could be related to heavy or not optimized airports. 

Tried to make a purchase yesterday and two credit cards got declined. A sign from the universe? 🤔

The Main problem if you go T16000 is it have too little button on the top, might be OK for airliner only, but since X52 have quite a lot...

it depends on your usage, I use a POV hat for select ATC replay so a dual Hat config would be minimal, and also there is no good pair of button for trim at the top of T16k either.

 

As direct replacement of X52, maybe X56? I didn't have one so hard to say anything about it.

As for me, I went direct to $500 range with VKB Gunfighter and would never look back to a plastic friction mechanism (plastic grip is OK though).

Yes, I could consider purchasing the joystick and throttle at different times and then have a good level setup.

While I wouldn't really know where to start, I'm left in the stone age where only Saitek and CH existed 😁

I understand your question, same 'problem' here. This is my second X52 and I would like something new and 'modern' this time

The other day I learned about Turtle Beach and they could have a nice follow up. At least the price of an X52 but something new and can be used for multiple planes: https://nl.turtlebeach.com/products/velocity-one-flight-deck

It is not out yet, so no reviews yet, but I might be tempted by the time it is available. If you calculate the cost against the hours of joy, it is a good price......

This really fascinates me. Maybe a little too colorful and bright for my tastes, but it's within budget and would definitely be a step up from the X52.

It will be on sale from February 13th for €399. I'm not in a hurry and I'll still wait for the reviews but what a great discovery, thanks so much for the advice.

I would say the Alpha/Bravo.Really like them. 

I don't have enough room for yoke/throttle and honestly I like HOTAS better. 😉

Unfortunately good hardware is not so cheap.But then again it depends on your budget.I got aThrustmaster T16000M FCS Hotas(joystick and throttle) and Logitech G Saitek Pro a few years ago and they still work ok.They are not top of the line but they work fine.I wanted to buy the VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle and other things but it would take for ever for them to get  here.( I also live in the Milan area). My suggestion would be to stay well away from mediaworld and try to buy off amazon. (you can always return stuff if you don't like it.)Good luck 🙂

It's not so much a question of budget, but of a real absence of mid-range proposals. It goes from around €250 for an X56 to more than double for products that seem to be made mainly for military flight simulators.

Is it really worth it, given that an X52 has satisfied me for almost 15 years?

My trusty X52, after almost 15 years of honorable service, is starting to show the first symptoms of failure. I don't want to suddenly find myself without HOTAS but I have a thousand doubts about replacing it.
I was pretty sure about buying the X56 but I read too many negative reviews that filled me with doubts and I can't find a valid alternative that doesn't cost a fortune.
I only use MSFS, no DCS or space simulators. No GA, no VFR but I change planes often, ATR, Boeing, Airbus, BAe, CRJ and hopefully Dash8 in the future.
Any advice, opinion and criticism is welcome.

I fly IFR 99% of the time but I gave up on using ATC. It has certainly improved in some things, but it has some absurd flaws for the level it should aspire to.

The last bug is the one I understand the least. As usual I choose real callsigns based on the flight I do and it has always worked.

Last 2 flights:

SHAMROCK 669 - ATC says  just OCK
EASY 5466 - ATC says 5466 1123

It happened to me just once on the first flight after the SU14 update. Since then I haven't had the issue anymore, but honestly I didn't change any setting before or after the update.

There's NO game in Game Pass that can't be bought out of it. Zero. Why some people want at all costs Flight simulator to be the first one I really can't understand.

That was probably for the Insider Program, considering that Tech Alpha recruitment started in September. Have you made sure you signed up for both of them?

I signed up the day the Alpha recruitment started. Maybe in September but I don't remember the exact day 😉

Registered the 13th of June. And I'm still out of the Alpha. For we are many.

Impressive, 30m triangles for a statue.

Amazing

but size of file?? and cost of hardware? when? etc...

Cheers,

It runs on a Playstation 5, so I assume that size and price are in an acceptable range.

When? I think near the end of 2020.

Sad reality is that nowadays we're all paying beta testers. 

But honestly I'm not going to pay 200€ to beta-test a product that should've been a (very good) update and not a full new version.

What grinds my gears (cit.) 😄 is that LM has released v5 now because they perfectly know that we're all locked out and many of us were ready to buy. 😞

Awesome update as always!

I really hope that Live AI Traffic could be used in the single player mode.

I never had this issue since I installed last nVidia drivers yesterday after a full clean reinstall of P3D 4.5. GPU is not OC. I'll try to revert to previous drivers and see what happens.

I did too, but got the impression that this survey is mainly related to MFS2020, Questions relating to Xbox  and whether people would be happy to have a subscription, etc.  As I mentioned in another posts MFS2020 will likely be subscription based in order to access all the lovely Bing Maps scenery, possibly also able to not subscribe and then get degraded scenery.  Not seen any posts commenting about this possible side of the proposed 2020. Microsoft is geared towards subscription services, they have done it with the Office 365, Xbox, and other in house software.

It's a possibility of course, but at the moment there's exactly ZERO games on the Microsoft store that you can play only by subscription. And I don't think that MSFS will be the first one. I hope. 

Could be that the demo is only v3 compatible and you're trying it on the v4.5?

Hi Nico,

tried to solve on my own this issue but I can't understand how. 

Everything was fine with 15.4 then I updated in the usual way to 15.8 and all moving aircrafts aren't injected in the sim anymore.

There are plenty of them on Real Traffic radar, both leds in PSX are green, all parked aircraft are there but I can't see more than one or two live aircrafts even in very busy airports.

In this very moment I'm at LIRN and I can see just one departing aircraft and nothing more while in the lateral range (40nm) there are at least 10 of them flying over the airport or landing.

And even the one taking off has suddenly disappeared... now 0 live aircraft.

Live aircrafts. Today at LIML every E170 or E190 AZA had another livery, even if they're correctly set in the xml file.

Anyway I deleted all the UTLive liveries and used other models for Alitalia Embraer.

That's another thing that worked since last updates. Now I have many aircrafts that could not be created, but they always worked. Like E190 AZA, never had a problem with that but now I see Azul or JetBlue liveries instead of AZA. 

I ran AIL Generator and I have so many errors that weren't there before. Need to investigate further on that.

Great news! I have some airports with so many live info. 

Thank you again!

I read the log.txt and it seems that all the airports in the parked_updates folder miss the latitude and longitude parameters. They worked fine since the last updates of PSXSeecon. I think I'll have to rebuild them all.

Anyway, here's the log.txt

Hi Nico,

with the latest versions something weird is happening. PSXSeecon can't read the airport files in the parked_updates folder. I tried with several airports and I've always got the [airport] no airport file? error that prevents the program to work correctly, so that no aircraft's shown.

If I move the xml file (or simply rename it) it works correctly but I obviously lose all my parked aircraft and I've to begin all from scratch at that airport.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Working fine now, thank you.
