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

No point arguing with you as you're always right, however, it wasn't my initial point regarding European readers.

Not quite. 'A' for effort though.

City Update 16 just dropped so, yes, they're still updating things.

Ρόδος. That's Greek for you. No 'h' anywhere in sight. The 'd' is a "heavy" th as in THe rather than a lighter one as in THeory.

Far too complex a topic that requires constant back and forth to explain. Coming from 2020 I, too, was leery of how I would manage with the controls set up in '24 but, after watching a number of YT uploads and using chatGPT (invaluable but needs prodding and do NOT accept everything it tells you as the gospel truth), have more or less understood how '24 works. Try a 'msfs2024 controls set up' search in YT (perhaps narrow it down to your hardware) and go through the list. There's one by AirborneGeek and one by Huddison that helped me a lot. It's a step-by-step process so my advice is don't rush it. Best of luck, mate!

My UW runs nominally at 100Hz. I have my settings in '24 set at Half refresh rate (turned on VSync, set to half and then turned VSync off again), FSR3 @2x, nVidia Reflex low latency at On+Boost which means that my monitor is actually running at 50Hz (if I am understanding it correctly). As my machine isn't anywhere near "top of the line" I have turned down a number of settings in Global Rendering Quality without any real effects on the quality of the image, use AutoFPS and I am consistently seeing 70fps even with 'heavy' addons at 'heavy' airports. High refresh rates are important when playing fast paced action games but given the relatively glacial speeds at which the sim runs in comparison I have felt no overwhelming urge to dig deep into my wallet for a high refresh rate screen. As always, YMMV.

Like walking on eggshells...

Can someone please tell me how I can turn off the dirge that is the intro music while the sim loads? I have tried turning the Music volume down to zero in the Controls menu but it has had no effect.

I took advantage of the discount that Steam had and installed '24. It seems to be as stable as '20 and I seem to be getting a smoother flying experience overall. My tipping point was reading about GSX's roadmap and how development would continue for '24 as it offered a better path forward. If Virtuali, who has been incredible in providing continuity and updates with no charge to the customer, is stating that development for MSFS2020 is becoming an issue and most devs stating outright that they will not be including '20 in their plans, that was my trigger.

Do any of you dinosaurs remember the Infocom series of games? To me they still are a monumental achievement combining books with technology. They stimulated the imagination and built worlds in one's mind, just as books do, they were educational and extremely satisfying when you solved one of the many, many puzzles thrown in. Not to mention the genius packaging of the games (yes, physical boxes filled with all sorts of goodies that pertained to each game/book). Sadly because of a long series of residence changes all my copies have been lost. InvisiClues.orgThe Complete Infocom Archive | InvisiClues.orgThe complete archive of Infocom game artifacts and history, including game information, Invisiclues, historical articles, and more! All presented in an entertaining, nostalgic way.

I use FSHud but since FSLTL was revived by Navigraph I've had no use for the subscription.

Like a champ. Caveat: Experiment with your settings in the sim. Everything on ultra is bound to cause issues. I also found using AutoFPS to be hugely beneficial.

Tried right-clicking on the blank icon, Properties ->Change Icon? You will need Admin permissions and may have to do it a couple of times for it to stick.

Never regretted switching to an UW 34" (2K) from my older 27" 1080p. Immediate and apparent difference. Budget-friendly too!👍
