The - Surface De-Ice - toggle switch just keeps resetting either way it's moved.... on the 414 switch panel... I have also had the issue twice now with the engines inexplicably losing power.... the - EGT - starts dropping and goes to minimum on the scale and the plane gradually descends to the ground with not having enough power... have tried all de-ice switches on (except as per above comment) .. there was no visible evidence of ice.

Hot PC room ??? - solution is right here --- https://i.gyazo.com/2aa2826c73488c9359f0470ae6b98659.jpg-- box in your PC, make a removable window interface board connect the two and buy a PAC (Portable Air Con) unit connect it also and you have a lovely cool room all summer. have a look at the pic and say what u think. - in the PC box a 7" 180mm Silverstone AP181 (5.4Watt -12v x 0.45A) fan directly sealed to the input end of the 125mm Flexi hose.... does a good job of pumping that hot air out... This has just been first run yesterday and there is no additional fed air into the PC box as yet... I intend to monitor and if required will add an input fan. The air is drawn in through an 8" square hole cut in the front door of the box and fitted with a Louvred, dust meshed vent.... the fan seems to be doing ok at the moment. The beauty also is that if I leave the door open then only very little hot air comes out because of the inbound airflow... Now that the UK gets serious heatwaves and the average temps are taking a jump, I say bring it on - I'm ready... lol PS - For the Techno Geeks... I have read a few comments about the thermal laws and flow dynamics and about negative room pressure etc etc etc that suggest this idea is not very good... that's all Hokum... - for me this works and the hot, sweaty, dripping, fidgety uncomfortable flights have evaporated and been replaced by cool, calm comfort.. ...

Was it ! I never knew though that's probably becos I didn't fly it.... I noticed that also the CJ4 weather is working too. Will they be updating the Fenix A320 for working weather and why only some aircraft. Are all the default planes now working ?

wow ... weather radar working... was I the last to know... ?

have decided to download DCS World.... thanks for your help in deciding. ...was not my intention to upset anyone and I hope MSAsobo get all the software writers they need as soon as they can....

well thanks for all your input... I concede to what I feared and will be downloading DCS World soon.... will still mainly use FS20 for most flying. First though I have to find some time to recover from the thrashing I got from some readers... now where are those bandages...

....can you have any of the carriers sailing at speed into wind yet ?

message received.... F18's with tailhooks and other carrier capable aircraft are still on the table for carrier ops though with no weapons. I guess that's something....

...nice post

Thanks... wondering what exactly is the point of a forum set up to discus Flight sim subjects.... I guess I have to keep quiet as you say and just read others posts....

then I wonder if they will allow 3rd party devs to make addons in that military vein as VRS did with Microsoft FSX and P3D. I think the dynamics, physics required would have to be put in place by MS/As to allow 3rd parties a bit of long term stability...

. I am making valid points for improvement... why is that being a troll ? If you don't want replies to your post why not tell us.... I ' DO ' realise that MSFS2020 is not a dedicated Military Sim... I mostly fly airliners at the moment with the Fenix A320, PMDG 737, CRJ 700 and ATR72 being the most often used ones...

...

...are you deciding for MS/Asobo whuch direction they take ? If I look in my 2020 hangar there are already military aircraft , default from MS/Asobo so what are you talking about. I don't fancy being directed by you to other sims, thank you. I will continue for the improvement of MSFS2020/24... PS MSFS2020 is not a :- Glider sim Helicopter sim Bush plane sim Airliner sim Drone sim Space ship sim etc..... IT IS ALL OF THEM !

OK, where has The evolution of Military Ops system gone ?

lol, love that idea..... I guess it is a bit but it's highlighting an unnoticed negative into a potential positive for the good and with a constructive message whilst also leveraging a mass audience which may - "p-r-i-c-k the conscience of the king"... ...the quote is from Shakespeare. = to prod with sharp instrument to gain notice, get attention. The King being MS/Asobo, of course . AVSIM word filter wounld not let me type it without hyphens... the word is being used and intended in its pure form...

right....

...glad your rocking a military type (WartHog) joystick.... why not put it to good use with carrier ops...

....funny you should say that... exactly what I'm feeling about this whole FS24 thing

Well, at least balance like for like...... correct - FSX Acceleration WAS a long time ago and at that time it was tops as far as what we had anywhere, VRS came along and built on that but things didn't really progress much because of constant updates etc. to the P3D sims whereas DCS got constant development and upgrades in that field, every update was tuned to the military aspect. There is a great imbalance to effort put in between each sim as far as the military side is concerned. Now it looks like NO effort is going to go into this kind of flying in FS20 and FS24.... ...and it needs MS/Asobo to be in with the core work as VRS or other military type developers cannot make a version that will survive with all the constant changes upgrades and turmoil that is happening in the MSFS sim. (would you as a 3rd party developer of a military addon for msfs with complex missile systems, radars, accurate Military aircraft etc even consider making for MSFS at the moment ?)

WELL the real **BULL POOP** is that Microsoft Asobo have not included this type of flying.... no mention or fancy video clips in their new ad. This is an important type of flying that needs to be included... every other type is ! Since FSX Acceleration and right through the P3D's we had this.

DCS is lame ! We need full world capability not just a few small map areas to operate in... We need Microsoft Asobo to make high fidelity systems in regard to military type flying with missions, high speed low level terrain hugging, bombing runs, strafing, missile launching targetting , carrier landing , CAT launching etc erc... with visible strike damage such as bomb craters and damaged buildings vehiclez etc... This type of flying would fit in very well with the FS24 ecosystem.... this aspect of Real World flying is not being given the attention it deserves. It was so good to fly with VRS (Vertical Reality Simulations ) in FSX and P3D.... https://www.vrsimulations.com/

GREAT NEWS.... F18 and Aircraft Carriers included with new MSFS24 ! Just like the FSX Acceleration pack in FSX carrier ops with military aircraft is here .... This type of flying is probably the most difficult to master and is a fantastic challenge. Really test your flying skill in this environment...... ( a PS is coming soon.... watch this space )
