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.- 1

Many thanks to all.
Indeed Mace. In Control Panel > Programs and Features., I looked for J... like Just Flight. But it was in P... like PA28 Warrior II MSFS TP.

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.

Hi,
I want to uninstall the Just Flight Piper Warrior 2, in order to install a new version just released.
The original install was through an automatic installer but I don't find the program in Control Panel > Programs and Features.
So I have to do it manually through the Community folder?

Improve the LIGHTING by:
1) Reducing glare and brightness or provide settings to adjust
2) Fixing overexposed skies when looking down in cockpit
3) Fixing dark cockpits when looking forward

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...

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.

Understood, thanks Sesquashtoo & jcomm

Are you talking about following the magenta line for lateral navigation?

Sorry, quick dumb question: what does PG stand for please?

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.

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

"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.

Hello,
I want to uninstall the PMS50 GTN. Sounds stupid but I did not find how to do it from the Content Manager.
-

LouP
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.

12 hours ago, JYW said:buying the TDS as I believe it's really overpriced (£51 GPB, including VAT). I think I paid £29 for the RXP versions and a little more for the Flight One versions of the GTN Trainer).
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 productFlight1
Could not retrieve anymore the GTN 750 on Flight 1 website
Could only find G500/G600: $59.95 -
I made a quick search on Google, it seems that a monitor calibrator costs at least 100+ USD$ 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.

Why are you on FSX and what are you doing (flying)?
