  1. As I recall the Mi-8 was also equipped with a basic navigation system, something in-between an ADF and a VOR. Of course it was then retro-fitted. As to me, yeah I'll use it for short 30 min VFR like visiting my airports or the city. Unusual indeed to enjoy ILS approach in helos, but that's okay 😉
  2. Amazing, I understand... Respect for what you are doing and resisting the Windows abomination!
  3. AVSIM is most welcome. Everybody know that in this hobby we buy quantity of addons. It would be weird not to donate to AVSIM, where we can discuss with mates who share the same hobby. I want to take this opportunity to ask you a question (I have wondered many times). Your signature has been saying for years: "Awaiting the new Microsoft Flight Sim and the purchase of a new system. Running a Chromebook for now!". Do you have your new rig now... or are you still on the Chromebook (and FSX) ???
  4. June has arrived and the dev website says "Compatibility for FS2024... Coming soon in June" 👍 I'm very excited by this chopper because I have not piloted a helicopter in FS since the days of FSX (Dodosim), and also because it reminds me of fond souvenirs of campaigns with the DCS Mi-8. One cool thing is the option to have english markings and labels in the cockpit. I was on the verge to grab the MBB BO 105 by STRATOWARE but finally refrained because the GPS and GTN 750 cannot be removed and I'm a fan of analog gauges only. And finally I love this livery. That's many reasons!
  5. I wanted to read the terms and conditions, but since you are here guys I am re-assured, so I sent 25 bucks. I used the same email than for the forum and my name is Tony A...
  6. Perfect @ryanbatc thank you 👍I just need a basic understanding, no more 😉

  8. Hello, I want to make a donation for the AVSIM forums. On the form there is a "Read the terms and conditions" but the link seems broken: https://forum.avsim.net/page/store_terms.html
  9. Just in a couple of words to ensure that my understanding is correct: Photogrammetry or PG is a special technique of taking 2D photos that look like 3D in the simulator when seen from above a given altitude?
  10. Many thanks @Christopher Low 😀I disabled PG.
  11. Thank you all. I've never had attention for that thing photogrammetry thing so I was not aware. I looked in the options but could not find how to turn it off?
  12. Hello, I would like to know if this kind of issue is known. See, the houses are completely distorted. Screenshot taken in FlyTampa Boston KBOS.
  13. What does the PG mean please? I've made a quick search and could not find any landmarks addon freeware or payware for the surrounding area. Sorry.
  14. Thank You Everyone! Approaching KBOS. On final for the 04R.
  15. Superb and Kudos! I wish you to recover quickly a job (I'm in a similar case). Michael Greenblatt... It rings the bells... The guys who had a service to optimize your PC for flightsim?
  16. Thanks everyone for your contributions. Much appreciated. My question has been answered 🙂
  17. Thank you Gsalden. What about performance (fps) please?
  18. Thank you everyone. My questions has been answered. 👍 So I made the decisions to get KBOS by FlyTampa. For the european airport, I will take a time to think about it.
  19. Since the beginning of this thread I'm better aware of the motivations of folks who enjoy details inside the building. Sure I get your point regarding the "off" button, I think we need a balance otherwise, after the bedrooms, devs will end up modelizing the flush of the toilets as said by a mate earlier. For me personally the right balance is to represent and populate the boarding gate of an airport, no more.
  20. Many thanks to both for your advice. Much appreciated!
  21. I need 2 sceneries to fly over the pond. EUROPE: I was thinking about ini EGLL (2024 native) or FlyTampa EHAM (2020 version, not optimized yet for 2024). Unfortunately LFPG is in the making by PESIM and not available yet. USA: It would be KIAD (2020) or FlyTampa KBOS (2024 native). Because I don't like so much KJFK. I'd like fps-friendly... Please see my rig in my signature... Also I was wondering: if I get a 2020 scenery, will it work in 2024?
  22. Sure I understand your point. It's all about sticking to customers needs, or satisfy yourself (pride) 😉
  23. @tttocs You like the IDEA of interiors (like Christopher) or do you visit EFFECTIVELY the malls, bedrooms, etc.?
