To be fair before they took it down they did post a notice that it would be down for quite a number of months until they were ready to bring it back.

Ever notice how the people who have the most problems are the ones who faff around with the computer like they know what they're talking about? The unpopular fact is that 99% of the time the reason problems appear is because SETTINGS ARE TOO HIGH FOR THE HARDWARE THE SIM IS BEING RUN ON. It's really that simple.

I've seen BATC using different departure and arrival runways plenty of times. It lacks on ground handling though, more often than not you get cleared to taxi into AI traffic (or them through you).

29C at 74% humidity here earlier, it's easing off though. Just touching "red" on the "web bulb global temperature" chart Ariel's ChecklistWBGT Chart - Wet Bulb Globe Temperature - Ariel's ChecklistThe Wet Globe Bulb Temperature Chart, or WBGT Chart, provides minimum rest periods & hydration guidelines for hikers in Isreal or for exercising in the heat

I have a floor mounted fan pointed directly at the front of my computer to help it with cooling and my CPU is still 94C running MSFS according to "Core Temp" app. Meanwhile I have some "menopause" fans around my neck 😆 I'm definitely built for a cold climate - which is worrying since it's only May!

Why do those screenshots look better than MSFS? 👀 Even the sky looks excellent.

I read earlier on Discord that a resizable UI is planned for a coming update. Maybe it will solve the issue for you @Noel

Opinions on the X-Plane Discord were not favourable: and it also does what Laminar explicitly says not to do:

Maybe a scream will play at the end of the month when the deduction for parts hits your wage slip 😅

You can turn that off in Settings as well.

There's an option in GSX settings that has been added so that you can use the "Classic menu" instead.

I always wondered why the GSX menu never really followed the flow of a flight... to my mind it should be Boarding Catering Refuelling Pushback Deboarding as the first five options (the first three could be in any order I guess) so you could work down them like a checklist. Having Deboarding as #1 in the list seems a little odd - I wonder why it was done that way? Perhaps it was done with a "turnaround" in mind (because you'd deboard first) but still a little weird since I'd wager 90% of simulator sessions start cold + dark rather than as a turnaround.

Well thanks for the massive excitement and subsequent deflation. A real rollercoaster. 😂

Loving the dark mode option - no longer will I be blinded while doing a night flight 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 For those of you struggling with the new look, select "Light mode" (the light bulb in the footer on the lower left) and you'll get back to a somewhat familiar look and feel. Forums seems way snappier when loading now as well which can never be a bad thing. Great work.

A great way to learn in an Airbus is to set up an ILS then let it perform an autoland. Observe what the aircraft systems do especially around the flare and try to replicate it the next time you do a flight. Also make sure your view is set up correctly otherwise you'll get a warped view of what the aircraft is doing and you'll end up fighting an illusion of the ground coming up too quickly - there's a video by Easyjetsimpilot that illustrates this perfectly:
