Even if you have turned them off in the past, SU updates will sometimes turn them back on. I checked mine again after SU4 installation and they were re-enabled. Needed to turn off MSFS-2024 crash, stress, and engine damage detection again. They are under Settings --> Assistances. Check the boxes to disable the sim default detections.

I have the Airbus FCU and both L & R EFIS, oh, and the Orion rudder pedals. I like them very much. I am also considering a future purchase of the Boeing PAP3.

I set my hardware to L and R full rich, then I use my mouse to pull them both to off before turning on the battery. Then again mouse only to manipulate the Left mixture, and again, mouse only to manipulate the Right mixture. On my hardware controls (I do not have bravo) once I set my hardware to 100% rich, I can move the virtual mouse mixtures without the hardware moving them back. It's only after I have both engines running that I touch the hardware mixture lever again. Edit: You could also map "MAGNITO 1 START" and "MAGNITO 2 START" to custom keyboard keys so you can hold them on start independently while mousing other objects.

- Turn on both L and R fuel tanks (and also verify you have fuel) - Set both L and R mixtures Off Let's assume for this example you are starting Left and then Right... - Turn on only L fuel pump - Crack L throttle about 1/4 - Raise L mixture to full rich for a few seconds and then return it to off (for priming only L engine) - L mag to on and then to crank/start - While holding L mag on start you can toggle the L mixture a bit to add a bit of additional fuel during cranking. - If L engine starts, then raise L mixture to rich and adjust the L throttle for desired warup RPM. - if L engine did not start, it was probably either flooded during the process or never got enough priming fuel to begin with (Black Square cheat: you can watch the engine details in the tablet to see the fuel state of too lean or flooded). Repeat these steps for the Right engine -- important not to accidentally shutdown the running Left engine while raising & lowering the Right engine's mixture. They need to be handled independently.

These are really great pics! I particularly like the semi-wet (pics 2 & 3 takeoff), all of the interesting perspectives, and the last one with slats & spoilers.

Absolutely! A missed opportunity. And signage for the Air-Rail Link Crazy Train.

I have had a few MSFS application crashes lately. Since this was mentioned in another post, I am running DX12 on an Nvidia 3090. I did not run into the sim startup crash, only inflight crashes. I suspect my issues were related to Nvidia drivers -- or at least they were video related problems of some form or another. I don't recall the specific driver release numbers but in the first crash, screen went dark for a few seconds and when my desktop reappeared MSFS was gone. Interestingly, in that first crash it appears the entire driver was removed by windows because I had to reinstall the driver in order to get my screen desktop resolution back to normal. Two more crashes since then, each with the next driver released. Now on the most recent game driver no crashes (but I also have not had time to fly much the last couple of weeks). Anyway, all anecdotal, but I did suspect video drivers. I would much rather that than thinking my video card could be developing issues.

Howard, I have a workaround I have been using . It is similar to the "esc, reload" solution given by others, but since I have always had developer mode on, this is the fastest way to reload an aircraft. My solution has been to turn on Developer mode. You will then see a menu across the top of the screen. Tools -> Aircraft Selector. Scroll or search for your model/livery. Double click on it. Aircraft reloads. This has successfully reset the aircraft for me each time it had loaded in a frozen state. A couple of times, but very rarely, I have had to re-reload twice.

In the upcoming B200, if it is steam gauges, please allow an option for RXP 530/430 integration. Jason

Well, I want DWC mode :)Just checking that (if using DWC) FSX is unable to display the correct in-sim winds information (my GNS is displaying the correct winds info, just not the FSX text line).Thanks,Jason

Is there some reason that the FSX coordinates text display (Shift+Z) winds information is not updated to reflect the currect ActiveSky winds information? The direction is usually somewhat off and the speed is way off (FSX reports 5kts wind, but AS2012 and Reality-XP 530 report 28kts wind). I am assuming that it is just the way AS is controlling the wind that FSX is not reading and reporting correctly. The AS winds are most definitely the correct winds and the sim is reacting to the AS winds, just FSX not displaying the correct numbers in that screen text readout.Thanks,Jason

No screen shots, sorry...But after several flights, some tuning, some snapshots, and more tuning, I can definitely say I have AS2012 looking even better than I had ASE.There are still some minor and occasional issues with FSX's depiction of "overcast", but that was true of ASE too and I am really liking the new textures and overall appearance.Winds in general are also much better.Thanks,Jason

And all I want to do is turn it on and get an honest depiction of the current weather where I start, and gradual changes as I fly around, wherever that might be. I had ASE dialed-in to the point that I thought all situations were highly believable without tweaking every flight.I'm still tweaking every AS2012 flight. I will eventually get it dialed-in for sure, because everything that made ASE look good was from ASE+XGraphics -- so there must be some formula to get that back.Jason

However, I would still expect AS2012 to at the very least match ASE. It should be better than ASE, not worse.If I am able to get reasonable density coverage in ASE for a given METAR, then I should be able to get the same or better results in AS2012 using the exact same textures. This is not something that is beyond HiFi Sim's ability to correct. We just need to demonstrate that there is an issue relative to the results that were achievable in ASE.

Well, I don't know that this happens everywhere and under all weather conditions, but it just seems that coverage is thinner in general.I'm not upset about it -- we will figure it out ;)
