Thanks Bob, do you know if, apart from use in Simbrief) - 1) it will be usable in Little Nav Map, jet aircraft with fmc/mcdu 2) the 'cycle' is mine to use forever ie it will still work if I delete my subscription. Looking at your systems, I hate to think the outlay for them but you should be wanting nothing as far as capacity and speed.

Does anyone know if it is possible to subscribe just for one month to get the latest Airac and then close the subscription? I am interested in getting any navigation data on the new YSWS (Western Sydney Lady Bird Walton) airport which only opened recently to passenger aircraft (freight started 2 months ago).

And that equates to around $A800 to $A1200 $A1200 is way over what I can afford.

I know I know but this was pointed at a question to wait or not as I got conflicting answers. And I know that graphic settings can be set to 'work with' 8Gb vram but I guess I was just trying to determine just how bad (or good) the simulation would be with settings to 'match' 8Gb. I was advised that the more vram the better but it's difficult to know if I would be 'happy' with 8Gb or not. Also plenty of rtx3060 with 10Gb+ but the 'speed' is less than an rtx2080. It's complicated. Do I 'sit tight' waiting for the 'elusive' rtx2080 10Gb+ at an affordable price or not. If I had heaps of money there would be no question.

I would like to keep the cost to a max of $A500 (GBP250) if possible. Second hand/previously used. I missed out on an rtx2080 11Gb last week as I forgot to check what the bids had got to a few minutes before the (Ebay) 'auction' ended. I probably could have got it less that $A400. I will keep checking.

Well there lies the problem. I used AutoFPS a few times and incorrectly thought that it had automatically modified the settings automatically forever and so removed it. msfs2024 graphic settings What settings are affected by amount of vram? I will keep looking for a used graphics card with at least 11Gb vram BUT think it should be at least as 'fast' as a rtx2080. I am 'throttled' to a card which requires a maximum of 2 x 8 pin power plugs and with a maximum of 600 watt PSU which limits me I know. Video cards which have 3 fans usually require a greater psu power and power plugs. Being retired and with a fixed income my budget is tight.

I am starting to think that way. But what about gpu speed. It was once the make sure the last teo digits are 80 eg rtx2080, rtx3080 etc.

Thanks everyone. Interesting that you still get warnings with much better/faster cards than the 2080 although I know it all depends on how high the video settings are.

Thanks it would be nice but my budget doesn't stretch anywhere near a pre-owned one.

With a limited budget I want to replace my Gigabyte rtx2060 6Gb OC card with a USED rtx2080 video card. I have (in another thread) received info that the more vram the better and have been trying unsuccessfully to find a USED rtx1080 with 11gb vram but find plenty of video cards with 8GB vram. When I run MSFS2024 I get a warning that my vram (6Gb) is a problem BUT will a video card with 8GB satisfy? Should I just change video settings (to what?) so that my 6GB vram is enough and just keep waiting patiently for a used 11Gb card to be put on sale or be satisfied purchasing a used 8GB vram card?

I have solved the problem listed below. It was caused by Asobo resetting my assistance settings (especially auto throttle) to ON. Why do Asobo do these things with an update. It is so bloo#! annoying! Firstly I think that I asked the same or similar question some years ago and have forgotten the reply. The throttle position for my (stock) DHC2 Beaver will not stay in the position I set it regardless if I drag the throttle with my mouse or use the throttle on my joystick. It keeps returning to the idle position. Once I managed to get the throttle to 'stick' in the fully open position but then I couldn't reduce power, every time I reduced the throttle it would jump back to the fully open position, weird! It didn't have this problem before today's update. Please remind me what causes this and the fix. Thanks

Oops. I needed to populate the database from MSFS. However in my defense that was not suggested.

Thanks I don't recognise your image and can only assume it is from LNM but where? Anyway, after opening the LNM docs, I found at last the icon on top of screen named 'select airport types to show' (Ctrl Alt U) then selected 'show airports on the map' and none of those I previous mentioned were displayed.

IT's possibly been 3 years or more since I last created flight plans and seem to remember a flight plan creator which updated its database using FSX or 2020 airport data, I might be wrong. Anyway using LittleNavmap I cannot find a water airport for Sechelt or Nanaimo or Vancouver Harbour Water Airport or Vancouver International Water airport etc. Could someone please point me if the right direction. Thanks.

It now seems to be working (GMT 0600) BUT 'history' is gone ie in Devmode there is nothing listed when attempting to open recently opened files.
