Always loved this

Mace, Yes mate, I think I am stuck between a rock and a hard place with this. I would like to make three notes to your response. 1. I have no problem whatsoever with the Working Title G1000 ... it is incredibly functional and, as far as I can tell, very accurate. The only hastle is that in VR it is very difficult to change the frequency or even swap from Comms or Nav 1 to 2 in a bumpy flight. Reverting to key pressing 1 or 2 in the ATC panel is somewhat immersion killing. Changing frequencies is NOT a problem in non VR flight. 2. I am very much aware of the FSReborn effort and I am thoroughly convinced it will be a brilliant addition to MSFS2020. It certainly has to surpass the efforts of the current Phenom 300 according to reviews and users initial impressions. I am just hoping that it may have a GTN750 option if not standard. 3. The cockspur Phenom 100 is äpparently" a lightweight with little complexity so I may be better off waiting for FSReborn. I remember thoroughly enjoying the simple phenoms in P3D and of course the incomparable Phenom 300 from Aerobask in Xplane 11. However these were (for me) non VR flights. I also remember (fondly) Bert Pieke giving me incredible help with GTNs in various aircraft via Panel configuration changes in P3D. Maybe, I am just hoping that this may be possible with MSFS2020. Finally, I have decided that I will not consider buying the Cockspur Phenom without the ability to change the WT G1000. For me, at best, it will be a fun little uncomplicated aircraft to fly, but only with the GTN. Thanks also for the suggestion of the aftermarket G1000 hardware and I think you may well be right in that it would not be worth it. I think it would certainly be worth it if not for the VR factor. Cheers mate Tony

Sorry Guys, I hate to pester you but any other ideas or hints please Tony

Ryanbatc, Mate, thank you so much for your response which, of course, makes a lot of sense. however I only have 2 spare rocker switches on my second saitek throttle quadrant. I could very well use those to rock back and forth from Comms to Nav but that still leaves me with the problem of altering the frequency itself in bumpy VR Flight. I am currently using the mouse for this type of function. and when moving this is pretty well a hit and miss operation. I am also, uncertain whether the G1000 in the PH100 is actually old school or indeed the Working Title version, but obviously I would very much like to replace it for the PMS GTN. Again, I stress that I have no problem with the functionality of the G1000 but the Frequency changing with the dials as opposed to the keyboard of the GTN is almost a deal breaker for me, I may well look into the entire remapping of my controls but I have to admit also that that is a last resort effort. Thanks again mate I really appreciated your response. Cheers Tony

Hello all, This is probably for Bert Pieke. I am looking at purchasing the Cockspur PHenom 100 but I notice from their website that they have the G1000 (presumably thge Working Title version) Whilst this unit in all my aircraft equipped with it and its performance is outstanding, I particularly dislike changing comms and Nav frequencies and find it very difficult and fiddly, particularly in VR. As Such, I am wondering if it is possible (and how) to convert the PH100 to the GTN750. I assume from all the reviews, which are not in the "rave"category, that it is a fairly simple and uncomplicated aircraft so the effort required to convert may or may not be worth it. Is there a JD version for the PH100 or does it have to be done manually. I have the premium version of the PMS GTN750 and would hope to utilize this. I would love any information that the community can impart to this old and feeble mind. Regards Tony

Sorry mate, I missed that. cheers Tony

Hello all, I have a question for you all who love the 5090 and have or will upgrade from the 4090. If you have a smooth 60FPS with total Ultra settings in MSFS, what is the difference between them if you get 200FPS. Is there some sort of discernable difference? Is it tangible or imagination. I have an AMD system (CPU and GPU) and with all settings in VR maxed out I get an amazing 28-35 FPS in VR, but it is silky smooth and the graphics are amazing. Admittedly I am using Quest 2, but in reality I would really only contemplate upgrading to 4090 or 5090 if I wanted to go to 8k resolution in VR. I acknowledge that my system may be somewhat inadequate for that. Am I being naive or just being too financially practical. Regards to all Tony

hello everyone, I seem to have lost the plot here but I want to thank all who responded to my plight. However the problem has been solved but I still do not know what the problem was. I uninstalled and reinstalled MSFS2020 which did not fix the problem. I followed that with a Win 11 uninstall and reinstall and Voila. all OK. All in all, a long and laborious process but eventually all was worth while. So again, thank you to all who responded and as usual those responses were really appreciated. Regards Tony

Mate, Thanks for your reply. I do not think any of it is relevant however as I do not have 2024 yet. My 2020 is also on drive D Thanks again Tony

Jaytee, I have just finished uninstalling that via Control Panel and reinstalling. I have rebooted and the problem still exists. I cannot get rid of the idea that the "folder is open"is the source of the problem in my mind and I really feel that I should be starting there. However, the fact that a reboot of the computer, to my mind, should close all programs before closing down and therefore not be open when the computer restarts. The fact that MSFS2020 Community folder feels that something is open seem (to me) to be the problem but I do not know how to fix this. Regards Tony

Lucky38i, I have not installed a new Modern UI and the one installed worked very well for a number of years. The same applies to the Map replacement program. I do not believe that this or these programs are the problem. The problem initially started after running MSFS2020 for a couple of hours and then shutting it down for about an hour to check emails etc. The problems were noticed immediately after a restart for a flight from YBCS to YBTL in the default baron. I appreciate your response though. Regards Tony

Hello all, A couple of problems have just arisen for me in MSFS2020. I recently posted a topic asking for Modern ui 2.0 which I have acquired with thanks. When I unzipped it and before installation, I then went looking in my community folder and it was already there. So I rebooted the computer and fired up MSFS2020. To my dismay I noticed two things 1. I have retained the original ui, and 2. Despite using MSFS map replacement to start the program, I noticed that the scenery (TAI scenery YBCS) is very very standard MSFS2020. so I deleted that scenery and reinstalled it. This produced absolutely NO difference, so something is amiss here. I noted that all my add on aircraft are recognised. I also tried my YBBN scenery and the same standard MSFS scenery has been applied. I have concluded that some of the community folder is being utilized and some is not ie all aircraft recognised but scenery and UI are not. For some strange reason I then thought that I would rename the Community folder and see if I got the same results. However, I could not rename it because it was open in another folder. So I rebooted again and tried to rename the folder again and found that it was still open in another folder. Strange after a reboot. There are no files open in file explorer. I cannot help thinking that these two events are related but I do not know why. I have to admit that I am now stumped, befuddled and am actually contemplating a very reluctant windows reinstall. Can anybody help me out with this problem or make any suggestions that my help Regards Tony

Bigmack, Mate if you are free on Saturday night I am available to marry you LOL. Could you please MSG me for email address if that is OK with you? Thank you Tony

Hello everyone, Yesterday I started MSFS2020 and noticed that the load up has reverted to normal rather than using modern ui 2.0 which I have been using since it was released. I tried to re download it but the file is now unavailable. Is there a replacement for it and if not can anyone tell me where I can download it from. Alternatively, could some kind person DM me for email address and send me a copy of the original file (IF THIS LEGAL) Any information would be very helpful. Thanks Tony Chilcott
