If George Orwell could watch this stuff he'd be thinking that his novels were benign fairy tales.

Apart from increasing the dead (neutral) zone slightly and checking whether that helps, it sounds like dirt in the controller itself. If you're comfortable with opening up the TCA, cleaning the inside and checking for possible wiring issues that's what I would suggest. Other than that it may be an EOL issue. I had a similar experience with my long serving T16000M. I eventually gave up trouble shooting and replaced the unit.

How so, Bill?

What do you reckon? Could this reverse engineering (as witnessed by the artcraft / Adobe replacement suite - granted, not quite ready for primetime but given a few more months and it will be) affect our hobby as far as developers are concerned? Not just the add-on guys but MS/Asobo as well.

Is this right?! I had no idea. So re-installing AIG is my only option?

It certainly seems to be the fix. I was having issues with the Fenix being pushed back all over the airfield but this setting seems to have stopped that behaviour. A note: I use FSLTL traffic and found that firing up FSHUD before allowing FSLTL to inject traffic into the sim blocked FSLTL from injecting any traffic whatsoever. So in my case I have to start FSLTL first, let it do its magic and then start FSHUD.

Just yesterday, trying to help the Boss download her gazillion pics off her iPhone: Me: "This isn't going to be another wild goose chase, is it? I told you there are photos on the iphone that I can see but are not visible when the phone is connected to the pc" GPT: "Fair point, Bruh. I’ve been sending you around in circles, and I haven’t addressed the actual problem. Sorry about that." Really? It just refuses to learn.

I've had endless back and forths with ChatGPT when trying to troubleshoot an issue I was having with MSFS2024. It kept referring me to the store version and I had to constantly remind it I have the steam version. That happened three times and by the fourth my patience ran out, I added a couple of expletives and it promised me it would note it down and not repeat the same mistake. Long story short and half a day wasted by the LLM dragging me down various rabbit holes to no avail I finally remembered an addition that the Map Enhancement programme made to my hosts file. Simply deleting that solved my problem. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I never take ChatGPT or any AI at face value. In our case at least (simmers) it tends to overthink things so keeping a firm rein on it helps a lot.

I think you'll find a sizeable number of us old codgers creaking their way around the flightsim skies. Personally, I am a sucker for knowledge and have found this hobby (as an aviation geek) to be a huge source of fascinating insights by the actual active and retired real world flight crew sharing their knowledge and insights with us. Multiplayer is something that has not tickled my curiosity (apart from the occasional VATSIM/IVAO event) as I am mostly focused on the tubeliner aspect of the sim plus the fact that our time difference with the rest of the world makes it difficult to connect. Since you're in Canada I'm sure you'll have an easy time finding like-minded simmers in your time zone. 73 and counting.

Bang for buck (between the nVidia offerings) the 5070Ti is the winner. However, if money isn't a limiting factor, I'd go with the 5080. Can't advise re the AMD cards as I do not have personal experience with them.

Too bad the hardware (PC) aspect of the hobby in general, is a train wreck, price-wise.

Not much help from me but I had to repair/re-install MSFS24 as well. I've found that not all add-ons behave correctly when asked to work with the the re-installed version of the sim so have accepted the fact that it is best to start from scratch with those. Yes, it is a nuisance but it's a guaranteed way of knowing that things will work as they should. I have the Steam version of the sim. As for Reshade I don't have much set up in it apart from the "show/hide" key and the "enable/disable effect" key. I just downloaded and installed the blurry glass cockpit fix (haven't tested yet) but when firing up Reshade it showed that that fix had been applied. Very straightforward.

It is supposed to be a halo project. Have they done enough towards that end? I'm not sure.

I'm amazed that this is a free offering from the dev.

Maybe wait until the A350 v.2 shows up? It's bound to.
