I saw someone post on a 3rd party FB page and the news regarding FSLabs and the work they're doing. The post read: "Malware Labs is back". I thought that was hilarious tbh. It indicates that some persons have remarkably good memories in this day and age of speed read and move on. Another Airbus though........market is saturated.

For any painters out there who will be undertaking the task of painting liveries for the new iFly737 Max. Could you please seriously consider "Freedom One" for Southwest. I understand it would be fictional and not realistic. Could be a Paypal tip for it too. Much Obliged. PS: I have posted this on the discord for Flight 1 and iFly. Cheers!

747SP FTW!!!!!

Appreciate the video and your suggestions, many thanks. I'll definitely give it a try again and see how it goes.

LOL ! I thought there was going to be a magical workaround.......

Please let me know what you are doing.......

I understand what you mean. I did look at the Lock mechanism but couldn't for the life of me get it to work. And since I don't have to use it for my other aircraft already mentioned..... But are you saying that from the captains perspective (left side of these dials), it is not possible in that entire real estate (complete left side of dials) to manoeuvre the mouse and manipulate between 2 arrows, one indicating clockwise and the other counter? eg - the whole 180 degree arc of the left side of the dials. The top arc 90 degrees would be for clockwise - the lower arc 90 degrees for counter clockwise. The specific arrow indicators appear inside each 90 degree arc.

Hope you good people don't mind my raising this here, as it seems some persons in the MSFS forums just aren't comprehending the issue. I recently got into the Kuro 787. And for the most part, really enjoy it. I believe it has great potential. (I am a seasoned PMDG pilot having flown all their commercial jets competently since FSX/P3D days and enjoy the Fenix A320 also). The issue with the Kuro, Horizon and Working Title/MS/Asobo 787 is this: Currently, on the B787 EFIS several of the dials can be manipulated by your mouse to turn either clockwise or anti-clockwise and provides an animated arrow signifying which direction you are engaging. This is extremely helpful/efficient and speedy, as I can left click and hold my mouse button to "speed up" the rotation of the dial to the desired setting in either direction. PMDG and other 3rd party devs already have this imperative feature incorporated into the MCP/EFIS and other dials on their respective aircraft. However, on the 787 MCP, the only dial that allows this is the Speed Bug dial. The Heading and Altitude bugs are largely incapable, which is extremely inconvenient. So at present, you can only engage either of those dials with the quick arrow in an anti-clockwise direction. Otherwise, it's mouse wheel scroll for clockwise which can be painfully slow and inefficient. To add insult, you "may" be able to locate an infinitesimal clockwise arrow on the heading dial, but you have to change your physical position in the cockpit in an attempt to find it if you ever find it at all?! So good luck finding it, and goodbye to immersion/convenience. Firstly, I did raise this issue with devs at Horizon on Discord (Toby C) who responded - “we can’t edit cockpit click spots, arrows, etc etc". Then I attempted to raise this at MSFS forums to see if they could provide any of the 3rd party devs with the appropriate permissions etc to address this issue.......well, I say no more. (see below link) https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/boeing-787-all-variants-mcp-dials-ie-heading-altitude-require-further-refinement/628073 From a programming perspective, half of the work in the B787 has already been completed/incorporated as some dials have this full functionality whilst the Heading and Altitude dials currently have half the functionality and yet they are critical in their importance and use. It is not difficult or overly time consuming to add this feature to the dials. From an immersion perspective, the leading devs comprehend the importance. Asobo/MS..........well, they're not comprehending it. edit: it would seem now, that the dude giving me attitude in MSFS has removed his posts from mine.......LOL! I may put some screenies up of the conversation here......bet he didn't plan on that?

So that's what they've been up to for this duration.......no wonder. This will be big indeed.....

Nice touch! Just a bit too close to the mountain range.........white knuckles.

Hi all, not sure if it's just on my end or not, but are we not able to definitively save all changes to the aircraft state? eg: not only do I want the aircraft to load up in Cold & Dark, but other options from Sync Barometer, Radio Altitude Callouts and other features contained in the EFB. It seems that these are not being saved permanently when I load the aircraft up. Considering there are 2 saves in the EFB, ie Airline and Default. Despite pressing either of those, or not pressing either of them leads to the same conclusion. Haven't found any definitive info on this (ie video or text) Appreciate any assistance.

This isn't the first sub-par airport released for MSFS by Orbx (or one of their partners). Their release of YBBN (Brisbane) was also met with criticism as it lacked many details and seemingly was cheaply ported over from FSX/P3D. Some amendments were made some time after, but by and large it is still sub standard compared to the likes of what Fly Tampa, Flightbeam, FS Dreamteam, etc. are producing for MSFS.

Looks like someone understands this feature and how it can be utilized for greater purposes. 😉

Horses for courses buddy. And just to be clear - it's not my intention to do this on every flight. But all the same, it's a great little feature imo. 😉

I recently came across a FS2020 user who discussed this feature and uploaded a video displaying 4 minutes leading up to and including landing and taxiing. The user didn't detail how they did it - ergo, I had to conduct some research and discovered the methodology. I finally tried this feature out on the A320 Neo - and I must say, it worked pretty darn well overall. The only issue the co-pilot was causing, was a constant over-speed warning throughout the flight until setting up for landing. This overspeed was causing the aircraft to overshoot some waypoints on the flight plan. In this instance, 2 wp's were overshot and the co-pilot had to maneuvre/circle back to correct this. I opted to alternate passenger seats from internal Wing View and internal Engine View. It was an absolute blast. I can only imagine if a 3rd party dev (freeware or payware) jumps onto this - the possibilities are almost endless. Great immersion. And, the Co-Pilot landed qualitatively/safely and taxied to the gate. No injuries to passenger, or damage to aircraft. So if you weren't aware of this feature, or you were aware and haven't tried it yet - it's well worth it.
