Is there any further information on this topic of the changelog? Improved livery specific setting loading. Now some settings are always loaded from the livery, and some settings are persistent (work will continue in this area) Persistency adds a lot of fun, just like the A2A planes, where the switches, fluids and maintenance are logged between simulator sessions. It helps develop a sense of a "real" aircraft when after a few sessions we need to top up the oil, or the oxygen levels, or the chances for a random failure add up to an event... Congratulations on the release, Fenix Team!!! I'm ready for the NEO!

That logic can be extended to the whole simulation itself. Why bother spending time with something that isn't real at all? Why bother making a soft touchdown when we can rip the earth at 5000ft/m on landing? If the answer is that it's fun to emulate the procedures and at least some skills are indeed transferable to the real world. That justifies the weather radar usage in-sim as well. The more realistic the better, of course.

They have done it for long enough. It was the right approach. But, like you said, everyone around them capitulated, and they were left with a product that lacked a major part of the pilot's workload: avoiding weather. I would prefer a realistic tilt/gain/ground reflection capable wx radar. We had it in prepar3d... But if they kept their (once again: correct) initial stance of not using the "fake" weather radar, they would be negating their users the ability to at least pretend that the depicted image is meaningful. We can always turn off the weather radar after all. I thank Fenix for their product and the ability to listen to their users and compromise even when such endeavours go against their core beliefs.

I've received my unit as well. I agree with @jon b's review. I'll just add that the case is fully plastic and lightweight. It must be bolted or secured to the desk to be able to operate normally. Additionally it's a small detail but the developer could have added a push button (even on the case to avoid the complexity of adding it to the handle) just to be able to replicate the "nose wheel steering disconnect" real-life button on the A3XX family. Overall it's a good device and worth the price.

I've ordered mine when you posted this topic. Looks really nice. Thanks for the heads-up!

Hello. I would recommend that you discard the Aerosoft version of LPFR and try the Tropicalsim one. You just have to point the installer to your main P3Dv3 folder and add the scenery to the library. Everything works great including runway lights. In fact Tropicalsim stated on their forums that all their sceneries marked as P3Dv2 are fully compatible with v3. I even have LATI (Tirana) witch is marked as P3Dv1 fully working on v3. Regarding Aerosoft's LPPT, Simmershome is indeed the solution. You have to register and look for the P3Dv2 native patches. Then download and follow the installation instructions and you will get the runway lights back. It's a shame that the site is only available in German, but like some have said, google translator will help you with that... In my personal opinion I would advise you to avoid using the "Migration Tool"(s). In fact all you really need is to add a key to the windows registry to trick your system to believe that you have FSX/P3Dv2 installed. With that all the FSX/P3Dv2 installers that don't allow to change the installation path or that refuse to install because they can't find the simulator will work flawlessly and install everything on your P3Dv3 folder. If you google "FSX registry key" you'll find more information about it. It's really easy. With that you avoid installing the problematic "Migration Tools" that sometimes screw all your installations changing things you can't control. Good luck.

I've just noticed that on AS16 you've implemented this suggestion. Thank you for listening. :-)

Hello. I have the same setup. Aerosoft Airbus with ch throttle. I have everything working using fsuipc and the tutorial on this thread. You'll need the lua files refered. I'm not sure if the link still works. Let me know if you need any further help. http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/60794-ch-throttle-quadrant-idle-thrust-woes/ Pedro

Wow! I'm glad that you guys liked the suggestion. I'll be looking forward for this new feature. Pedro

Hello. I have a question/request about a ASN characteristic. Currently, when an airport has a METAR without wind information caused by the anemometer being out of service (represented by the field //////KT where the wind direction and speed used to be), ASN interprets that field as zero wind. This can be verified at Lajes field in the Azores (LPLA). The anemometer is inop and the surface wind injected by ASN is 0KT. Current METAR at the time of posting: 016/05/05 09:00 LPLA 050900Z /////KT 9999 FEW015 15/11 Q1023 While this may be a benign solution to the problem of dealing with those rare situations when an airport loses the wind information, it could be improved by interpolating the wind of the nearby airfields to reach a value for the airport without wind information, as the software does for dozens of places without oficial METARs. I'm aware that this situation is rare, and probably not worth the investment of coding additional lines to be dealt with. But nevertheless it would be a nice feature to have. Best regards, Pedro

I use it to keep the clock sync'd with UTC time. Plus it corrects several timezone bugs present since FS2004 (FS2000?)...

Hello. I use FsRealTime and I can confirm that (in my setup) it works flawlessly in Prepar3d v3. The software is frequently updated, usually right after a Fsuipc iteration. I can only praise FsRealTime. It's been around for a long time and I never had a problem with it.
