AivlaSoft future now looking brighter.
I would have suggested they sell Aivlasoft to Obrx who can then merge it with Volanta or Navigraph or something.

Which panel state you are using?
Lol I remember in 2010 when every aviation article and airline said Ground Power was only in case of emergencies because its expensive. Now its used like water! Either airlines got richer or APU became too expensive haha

Cost to convert to Prepar3D - An important consideration
Worth it. Perhaps start with only the essentials: One PMDG jet, another GA aircraft and one or two sceneries; then work your way up. Thats how Ive been progressing since 2014

REX4 upgrade or keep REX E + OD
Hello, I had REX essential overdrive and now want to invest in texture direct w/ soft clouds. I cant remember where I bought it (I have the order number and reg key to prove it) but I would also like a discount. Could you please help?

True LM needs to know, but I also thought its worth telling you the major ones so you could pass it on to the dev team or share with people on the forum for awareness

Watch your brakes!
Theres a bunch of quirks I've noticed which im gonna attribute to P3D 3.1 and windows 10. 1 Theres a bug where entering a specific fuel number in the FMC at payloads lower than 50% causes ZFW to change around and you'll have to re enter fuel a couple times until you get correct ZFW and the fuel you wanted (in 777X, havent tested NGX, ask MR Gollnick for more info) 2. DELETE YOUR SHADERS: every time you install new textures like REX or PrecipitFX, change your display settings or CFG, update your graphics driver or change inspector settings you HAVE TO REBUILD YOUR SHADERS. failure to do so will result in stutters which culminate into an ntdll.dll CRASH!. Furthermore, I've noticed fewer stutters and random crashes (related to ASN rendering new weather after being paused for a long time at TOD) by using adaptive vsync in NVIDA combined with P3D internal vsync with triple buffering at unlimited frames 3.P3D is a moving target so every new update will break at least one thing and yes Ive done a clean install of windows and that did not change anything either. The only good thing about FSX is that despite its bugs they remained constant and we could confidently work around them with worrying about them changing 4.Theres more if you want to hear

Watch your brakes!
Yup! I do two RTOs at max weight until the plane wont move and the gear synoptic is orange and I get 10.0 break heat, but funnily enough No red brakes

I noticed the glowing red tyres dont appear anymore in P3D V3.1. Was this intended or is it a bug?

Funny 777 ZFW?
Yep I cracked it this happens on low payloads and the reason why it has gone unnoticed so long is that most people fly their 777s HEAVY, i fly light medium hauls. Try creating a panel state on the 200LR based off the SHORT state but with empty payload. Save that and restart the sim using it as a default 777 state. Change payload to any level below 50% (try the low 40s) and then try entering manual fuel amount in the FUEL page. If ZFW doesnt change, try switching between the preset fuel levels and using manual entry again. I guarantee yiou will see hyour ZFW change. Tested mostly on a 300ER, also seen at least once in the LR

Funny 777 ZFW?
Interesting observation. If it helps my default 777 panel state is essentially the SHORT state with 1% payloed and 1/3 Fuel (from the presets in the FUEL page). The reason why I set payload first is because I first decide how much Im gonna carry then use the ZFW in Simbrief to get the amount of fuel I need which is then entered in the 777 fmc. Further testing reveals that grounds ops is not affected by changing ZFWs. Also when the ZFW is wrong (has changed erroneously), clicking on ZFW in the PERF page to retrieve zero fuel weight gives a double decimal number like 198.234.232 which is mathematically impossible. Goes back to a proper number after the "workaround"

Funny 777 ZFW?
I know right?? Its very weird only seen this recently with 3.1 and Yes I did a clean reinstall of the sim AND windows, even re ran the 777 installer to repair but no dice. What I do is randmozie the payload using the payload button then tweak the passenger numbers a bit to my liking. Then I go to fuel and enter a specific number in the top left. Most times, that causes my ZFW to change which is an error. There is a work around where I click between the preset fuel values on the fuel page until ZFW becomes what it was then I try re entering manual fuel. After a try or two Iam able to have the correct ZFW with the desired fuel. Strange behaviour nonetheless. Any clues?

180 in thousands i mean. I was writing it the FMC way. No, I use the FMC

Funny 777 ZFW?
when i manually enter fuel my ZFW changes and flips about. For example the correct one will be 209.1 kgs which then changes to 180kgs or something like that. I get around this by entering another random fuel level so the corrcect ZFW comes back then I re enter the desired fuel from my flight plan. Has anyone noticed this behaviour? (P3D 3.1). If it helps I use a 777 startup panel state of '777 short' but with zero payload and 17% fuel saved
