  1. Hi, Really dumb question but on starting the a350 and being outside how on earth do i get into the flightdeck? I have been al round door 1l trying to find a hot spot but nothing I can open eng cowls and some panels but thats it I know its probably simple but so far its eluded me Thanks
  2. Hi all, i'm a happy user of win10 pro with no real issues to date, however as my pc is now compatable with windows 11 now that i've turned tpm on in my bios I'm wondering if or when i should bite the bullet and upgrade. As i've had no issues with win 10 what if any are my advantages to running win 11? Is it quicker? does it run the sims msfs 20, and 24 any better? I have seen loads of complaints about win 11 causing crashes non booting etc and this is also putting me off updating. plus i do not want all the word not allowed that comes with windows 11 ie cortana and the other bloatware that it comes with but if i am going to see some value to upgrading I will thanks for any advice regds
  3. Hi, I've submitted a ticket to fenix regarding this, but while i wait a reply i was wondering if anyone else has had this at the bottom of the mcdu and how tgey fixed it. I've checked i have no updates from msfs, my navigraph is up to date and the correct airac shows on the mcdu. I've tried doing a complete uninstall and reinstall but i still get the message
  4. Just another excuse for pmdg to say its not our fault but we are going to have to charge for you to use the products you have probably paid for 5 or 6 times, if you had p3d as well. In msfs 2024 Funny how the dc6 was probably the least popular product from pmdg is the most compatable!! Nothing to do with the fact that they know they would get very little in the way of funds from people wanting to use it in 2024 to warant resources in making it fully usable, so they will tell you its currently their most compatable product. Would'nt really surprise me if they hope to sell a few copies in the process. They will only ever make 737,747,777 on a rinse and repeat cycle for each msfs version Certainly just as good or better companies out there now. Ifly, fenix to name but 2 If any of them can compete with the triple or 74 from pmdg then this company could well end up going the same way as boeing are heading if they are not careful.
  5. ok thanks will give it a try
  6. Hi all, Apologies if this is in the wrong section feel free to move if required. Hopefully someone on here might know a heck of a lot more than me on setting bindings with spad neXt I'm slowly trying to get my head round it before i decide buying it ,but its quite a steep learning curve with setting some of the button options, I'm trying to bind the cockpit camera reset view to a button on my joystick but just cannot seem to get it to work. I've tried adding the condition and the action that mentions camera reset but that didn't work does anyone know possible spad settings that are required to do this action Thanks
  7. Hi just wondered if anyone else gets this problem. When i start any aircraft in this sim I always start as if i'm 1 feet tall and the top half shows me under the wing no matter the height of the wing from the ground. The bottom half of the screen sort of shows the character cutomisation screen and i have no way to raise my height or get rid of the bottom half of the screen.
  8. Hi all been away from here for almost 18 months but getting back into sim again now i have a bit more time. not sure if its me or not but when i go into the controller options at the main menu pages when i select sat camera button settings, when the drop down menu appears it overlaps everything below it. unless i expand all this happens with every menu header ie radio, flight controls instruments etc. is the a way to have the menus expand without having to expand all and just have the one i want to adjust open without overlapping the other sections thanks
  9. Ok, here's my probably controvesial take on this. The pc users of this software are guinea pigs for xbox! While i don't know how many people on this forum are exclusively xbox only users of msfs my guess is that there are not many. But it does seem that all the problems at present stem from pc users of the sim. The clues are all there, for example single monitor usage (how many people use more than one tv/monitor at once to use xbox). The fact you have to use the xbox app to update from the store, many apps only work on pc version and are not available on the ms marketplace (because ms don't get money for them) no real heavy duty study level aircraft because of the sdk,there are several more clues there but you get my jist. I don't think this is all asobo's fault,they are being bossed by ms for the xbox and us pc users can test what works and what doesn't I think their brief was to make it look pretty and have people playing on it for a while with reasonable looking weather. It was never really designed for hardcore simming hence why pc users have so much grief. Just my 2 cents,agree or disagree your choice. And yes i do own it, but hardly use it and have only ever bought 2 addons, none of which are from the marketplace i prefer to give my cash to the developers themselves
  10. I posted about this a while back, for me it was my home airport EGPH I also had trees in the middle of EGLL sprouting in the central area. Real emmersion killers. I decided to buy the EGPH scenery but it will be the only thing I buy for msfs until they sort all the problems out. I fly 99% of the time airliners, so having pretty scenery means zilch for me. I want proper ai and correct weather depiction (although that is getting marginally better). I still say all the pc owners were guinea pigs for the xbox development, but thats just my opinion. Mean while these emersion killers rumble on with Asobo not really doing anything about it accept to say oh we are going to look at it.
  11. Thanks skywolf and vortex Im in uk but am visiting US in November. Plan is to possibly buy one while there
  12. Hi I'm considering taking the plunge into a vr headset ,not sure which make yet. I see plenty of post out there about screen res within the vr headsets not being great,my question is what is the res of these headsets? Due to an extreme lack of space I am currently running an old monitor that has a resolution of 1920x 1080,is this the same as these vr headsets? if it hopefully is, then as i've never experienced p3d at 4k res it would not be the downer that some are finding for me Graphic card wise its not an issue as I have a 980ti. Just looking for a bit of advice before potentially pulling the pin thanks
  13. well it depends on on how many paints for that particular aircraft type you have.But you will have to go the section where the paints are listed and check that they match the EXACT texture name and the [flightsim.xx] order is consecutive, remember the first one starts with 0. if they all look ok check everything else in the section for the texture e.g sim= matches the sim of the aircraft and all the other lines make sense. Unfortunately I don't use woai stuff prefering to create mine using aifp but the general rule of thumb is,if you can see the paint in dxtbmp then the chances are high that the fault lies in the aircraft.cfg paints section for the ai aircraft . Something as small as a .will be enough to throw the whole thing out. hope that helps a bit.
  14. Don't know if you've tried this but acouple of things to look at are the following 1. Use the dxtbmp program and see if the black paints show up ok in that If they do, then have a look at the aircraft.cfg file that is inside the woai folder of the aircraft concerened. If the paints show up black in the dxtbmp program then your problem is most likely a bad paint texture file
  15. For what its worth,I have the early access version of air hauler2 and its not bad,pretty easy to use and easy to understand I cannot comment on the others,as i've never used them
