Why are you on FSX and what are you doing (flying)?
Simicro replied to Simicro's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
Thank you all for your feedback. Good to read! -
Hello everybody, In my case I have P3D for several years and got MSFS2020 at the beginning of this year but have not used it that much. A couple of months ago I had a nostalgia for FSX and re-installed it. The idea was also to enjoy addons that I really like, miss, and could not enjoy to the fullest at the time, in VFR flights, stick and rudder. So my installation only includes: - RealAir Scout (purchased at Flight1 since old RealAir installer for the Scout does not work anymore) - RealAir SF-260 (CD purchased on Ebay) - Tongass Fjords (now free on Misty Moorings if you are interested) - FlyTampa Grenadines - FlyTampa St Marteen - FS Force - FS Tramp - FSUIPC - Chase Plane And that's it. I have not even installed OrbX Global Base Pack, LC, Vector, etc. I have now visited like 90% of the many airfields, seaplane bases, and points of interest of Tongass Fjords. At a time when photoreal scenery rules, I find that FSX is still quite enjoyable and immersive. Maybe because immersion relies very much on our imagination.

Multiple Simulators on a Single Platform
Simicro replied to zachlog's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I have MSFS, FSX, P3Dv4 and other flightsims on the same PC and did not notice any conflict between MSFS and FSX. Please note that my FSX install is light: only 2 payware addons aircrafts and 3 addons sceneries. -
I bought the Just Flight Piper Warrior 2 on simMarket and received yesterday a notification that there is a new version 0.3.4 In case you are not aware... Changelog v0.3.4 - Pilot model replaced with MS/Asobo pilot avatar - ICAO type data updated (used for AI/multiplayer model matching) - Heading/course bug select control assignments fixed (used by Honeycomb Bravo and other hardware) - Altimeter barometric scale markings adjusted for greater clarity - Instrument panel metal strip texture issue fixed - Primer now controllable using LOCK interaction system - Propeller material tweaked to avoid sunlight reflections PS: I underlined fixes that are welcome because the issues were somewhat annoying, at least to me.

If you have 20€ notes, then you don't need FSX 😉

I have a box version but will get a Steam version as a security for installs in the future...

Can I make planes follow strictly gps path line?
Simicro replied to clay45ful's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
Winds can deviate the aircraft from the desired path, at least temporarily, I believe. Also default GPS/autopilot is not always precise, especially in turns. -

Simicro replied to clay45ful's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
Are you talking about following the magenta line for lateral navigation? -
Thanks Charlie.

Hi, I've just made a little donation. I have the same request as the other years: I would like to keep only the discreet little green ($) badge. Can you please remove the "Donor Wings'? Also a quick question regarding ads: I suppose that the AVSIM Team has already considered this idea: 'remove the ads starting with a certain amount of donation'? Please note that it's only for my information, I do not intend to debate or flame war, etc.

How do you all like flying the Bell 47 with a yoke?
Simicro replied to Fielder's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Regarding Force Feedback. There is a vote ongoing for FF support: click here Russel Dirks, the developer of FS Force for FSX/P3D said one year ago that he would not develop for MSFS. I don't have info if he has (or not) changed his mind since: click here I tried some of these alternatives but was not satisfied compared to FS Force so I gave up at this time: XP Force: click here AirForce Player: click here simFFB: click here -
Is this forum becoming censored
Simicro replied to LouP's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
"Free" for users does not mean free hosting. And hosting costs are insane for a site/forum like Avsim (plus the library). Maybe you have no idea. As the donations are insufficient to cover costs, that is why there are ads. Regarding images, even if they are hosted elsewhere, many pictures takes a lot of time to load... and is not user friendly in my view. -
GTN 750/Piper Arrow Question
Simicro replied to John Snyder Jr's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Yes, exactly. What are we talking about: PMS50 or TDS? Also John: Show us a screenshot of the VC with the tablet on In case: make sure Battery is on -
Same for me.
-
Sorry, I made the mistake because on their website they talk only about the GTN 750.
-
It's expensive I fully agree. In my experience, customer support is serious an reactive. And language used values the customer. 1) MSFS TDS : $53.45 without tax. Lifetime license in my understanding. Includes: GTNXi 750 and 650 PMS50: €75 tax included. Premium version lifetime. Includes: GTNX 750 only 2) P3D/FSX RXP GTN 750: $34.95 GTN 650: $34.95 50% on the 2nd product Flight1 Could not retrieve anymore the GTN 750 on Flight 1 website Could only find G500/G600: $59.95

How To Reduce Glare and Brightness
Simicro replied to paulh1's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I made a quick search on Google, it seems that a monitor calibrator costs at least 100+ USD$ to several hundreds $ It's quite an investment. Maybe I consider buying one if I am sure that it will resolve the Glare/Brightness/Washed scenery issue. EDIT: a monitor calibrator is a device that will tell me what settings (brightness, contrast, colors, etc) to tune on my monitor. Is that correct? -

Thank you all, I understand that there is no simple perfect solution at this time.
