Hello, I wanted to start using the hoopie CPDLC but I have troubles to make it work on the Inibuilds A350 (I haven't tryed with other aircrafts yet). I created an hoppie acount, got my hoppie logon and inserted it in the Inibuilds A350 3rd party program page. I also went to the hoppie web page and chose IVAO for my network affialiation. I then start my flight, enter my simbrief flightplan, wait for the IRS to be initialized. Then I go the ATC.com page in the A350, put the ADS-C on Armed, chose IVAO in the list. Then as I see on some tutorials, I should be able to see all the CPDLC active ATC in the drop down menu list on the right but this is not the case. Nothing in the list! I also try to go to the D-ATIS page, request the ATIS for the departure airport but never receive an answer. If I go back to the hoppie web page, my flight number is active so the link with Hoppie should work. So what am I doing wrong? I tryed t uninstall and reinstall the A350. I also cleared the WASM folder but problem remains. If I try on VATSIM, same problem, can't see the Active ATC with CPDLC in the list and no answer if I request ATIS. Thanks

Tell me what you want about Inibuilds, yes they are not perfect but they can deliver many huge airports very quickly. Yes, those airports are not as nice as Mir's airports for exemple, but I think they have the perfect balance between quality/price/availability for a lot of simmers. Without Inibuilds, we would have to wait forever to have airports like LAX, DFW, ORD, DUB or HK. Add to this that if you can be patient, you can usually buy those airports with huge discount as Inibuilds has many big sales every few months. Today, most of their mega hub airports are at £9.99 a piece, including KDFW. Tell me how it is not a no-brainer? Cherish on the cake, a free v2 version of Dubai.

It could be on time to ferry the last 757 to Victorville. Just kidding, yes it takes time but it's not like the first days of msfs. We have now plenty of great aircrafts in msfs/msfs24 to spend some time while they polish that 757.

Jus wait for a few days. Inibuilds has summer deals right now and I would not be suprised that a sale on the A340-300 would happend in the next few days.

Wow, have to test this after my work. I was just wondering this morning where was that promised AAU4 status.

Yeah, what a mess, when your freshly released version for ms2024 need a third party freeware patch over it to work as expected... FlyTampa really fell that low?

MK-Studios really upped their game the last two years. They are now part of the elite group. This one is definitively on my buying list, ready to replace the old LatinVFR. Can't wait for Miami too!

Nothing on their forum, nothing on their facebook page. The lack of communication from those guys is speechless. Come on, even if you know how to make sceneries, it doesn't mean you have community manager skills, I understand it. But at least, get some help from people who master that part!

When I watch those trailers, I always wonder if some of us really achieve that kind of quality in term of graphisms? If the answer is yes, then I should really start to save some money for a new PC.

If you want to buy a PMDG 737, the main question you have to ask yourself is if you are purist enough to fly the correct variant for each airlines. If the answer is YES, then buy the 737-800. It is the most used variant with many in service. if the answer is NO, they buy the 737-600, the system are the same as the -800 and you will find a lot of fictional liveries for the most important airlines. So if you don't mind flying a KLM or Ryanair 737-600, you will save some money.

the game is not optimized in my nvidia app but my graphics settings are reset everytime I launch msfs24. What's wrong?

As I said on another source, the aircraft has to be exceptional for me to buy an A350 again. A lot of simmers already have the Inibuilds A350. It's far from perfect of course but it also include the A350-1000 and is available for msfs24 while Rhodiumcode is developped for msfs (they plan a msfs24 version but when? Will this be native or just a port?). Add to this that the project still need a lot of development time and is far from ready. By the time it is ready, a few more simmers will have bought the Ini. So the remaining market will even be slimmer. Good luck to them but as I said, it would need to be far better than the Inibuilds for me to buy another A350. There are so many others aircrafts, already available or probably available by the time this A350 will be ready, for me to buy before buying an A350 again. Sadly, one more time it showcase the fact that small studios will have a difficult time to compete with powerhouses like Inibuilds. Inibuilds strategy is far from being nice but lethal: develop a product in a few months, make it ready quickly after announcing it and continue the develpment with gazillion of patches in the next two years. A small studio can work on the same project, needing 3 years to complete it and be overtaken by Inibuilds before release. Probably what happened to Rhodiumcode 😞

There are probably more people using P3D that the survey reveals but it might also be the case for all the others sim. I would say that people answering the survey are more dedicated simmers than casual simmers so a lot of xbox/Ps5 players never heard about navigraph. So for sure MSFS24 would be even higher. Another kind of survey would be to check the IVAO netwaork statistics. Currently there are 415 pilots online, split into: 6 x Microsoft FS9 9 x Microsoft FSX 7 x P3D4 2 x P3D5 17 x XP11 40 x XP12 334 x MSFS/MSFS24 As there are no P3D6 category, I have no idea where those players are catagorized. But P3D players in this real time display represents exactly 2%. Surprinsingly, there are more FS9/FSX users compared to P3D. VATSIM would offer a better representation because there are more pilots compared to IVAO but I don't know if you can check the sim usage on VATSIM.

I often read critics about GSX but I would like to point out that I bought this tool maybe 3 years ago. And during those past three years, I received constant updates and new functions, absolutely for FREE. I never paid any upgrade. And those upgrades were not just for correcting bugs. That GSX 3.9.4 has nothing in common compared to what I bought 3 years ago. It has way more capabilities. Probably my best $ spent in this hobby. It makes our flights so much immersive. Many thanks to Umberto and his team.

I think the trick with msfs24 is to tune it for what your system can chew. We all would like to crank the sliders full right to have the best graphics, etc and even if my fps were not that word not allowed, it often led to problems. Since I reviewed my expectations, considering my system is quite old, I think I found the best compromise. Yes the graphics are not the best compared to some screenshots but I don't have any CTD anymore. Usual WASM crashed from time to time with some aircrafts but sadly we all have to deal with that currently.
