aatd started following 2024 -- Google Map Enhancement Mod
-
I haven't installed MSFS 2024 yet. Does anyone know if the Google Map Enhancement Mod work in 2024? If yes, is a different version of the tool than what is used for 2020 required? I haven't been able to find these answers online, Thanks, Brian

I don't know how I missed this? I expect most Simionic g1000 users have already landed on this site. If not, it is an EXCELLENT set of user's custom profiles for ~40 different aircraft, ranging from simple piston to complex jets. ...again, I might have been the only one who hadn't found it. https://g1000profiledb.com Brian

(Host -- Please feel free to relocate this string if I have placed it in the wrong area!) I am hoping that any Simionic G1000, or the newer NXi, Apps and related hardware bezels users might want to use this thread to share questions and answers we may have concerning the products operation, as well as parameters used in the aircraft "customization" function, to setup novel aircraft (i.e., those not included in the Apps). This is meant to be a productive tool to assist Simionic owners in realizing the maximum utilization and benefit of their Apps and/or hardware. Please do not use this string to discuss the manufacturer and/or thoughts about the vendor -- Thank you! Brian

Re; Trimming -- I agree. What I am seeking are the forces involved when manually moving the yoke through its normal roll and pitch ranges. I might end up having to contact the mfg'rs to see if they are willing to provide these data -- an iffy plan. Thus my effort to see if they already exist somewhere on the net/ Thanks for your response though! Brian

Re; Yoke forces: Does anyone here know, or can direct me to a resource, what forces (say in Nm) are on the yoke when flying any/all of the following aircraft at cruise speed? This for the pitch as well as roll resistance. - ATR 72 - King air (any version: 200 +) - Baron p58 I know, these are not likely something that most members would have laying around at hand! Thanks all, Brian

MSFS & Tobbi 5 -- Impact(s) on Performance?
aatd replied to aatd's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Thank you Chris, 30 fps and panning... That's good to know, since I am floating around 27-30 fps under a full gpu load (1080ti). Question -- would the loss of useful panning be the same as when using a Track IR5? If yes, I do have one and can give it a try before making a mistake and buying a tobii that will just end up sitting in a box, Brian -

Thanks, ...I appreciate the practicable findings/reccommendations, Brian -
MSFS & Tobbi 5 -- Impact(s) on Performance?
aatd replied to aatd's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Thanks, It sounds like I should assume most of the peripheral "eye" tracking vision is within the centre ~30" of the screen, so head motion tracking beyond that. If correct, it does help knowing that your experience is that there is minimal loss of overall immersion -- yes? Brian -
MSFS & Tobbi 5 -- Impact(s) on Performance?
aatd replied to aatd's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Thanks everyone, I will pull up the youtube videos, ...and thank you for the photo showing an alternative mounting method in front of the monitor. I can see that working for me should it be necessary. While I would probably like to have eye tracking, it's head tracking across the full width of my monitor that I am most likely to "need". That said, re; eye tracking -- does it work up to/about 42" and then go null, or does it become erratic when beyond ~42", Brian -
I am contemplating adding in a Tobbi Eye Tracker 5, this for use solely with MSFS 2020. A couple of questions re; any potential downsides... (1). (Performance Impacts): Does using Tobbi 5 negatively impact on performance, such as: fps; resolution; and/or cpu and gpu loads? Anything thing else? And; (2). (49" Curved monitor compatibility): I am using a 49" Samsung Odyssey g9, which has a R1000 curve. Is Tobbi fully compatible with: this size of monitor; curved monitors, specifically those with such a significant degree of curvature? Are there any other negative impacts I should be considering? Thank you all, Brian

Autoland -- Video Recommendation Request
aatd replied to aatd's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Thank you "Flight Level", That is pretty much what I was hoping for. Detailed, but not unapproachable for a non-pilot, Best regards, Brian -
Autoland -- Video Recommendation Request
aatd replied to aatd's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
...actually, not a bad one by Piper. Still, its bit old so misses a couple functions (e.g., notifying ATC; checking runway availability if posted), as well as the sequence and timing of steps once engaged, Brian -
Autoland -- Video Recommendation Request
aatd replied to aatd's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Thank you all for your suggestions. I probably should have made clear at the outset that I am wanting recommendations for videos describing the emergency GA autoland systems being launched for Piper (Halo Safety System) and Cirrus (Cirrus Safe Return). Ideally, I'd like to locate a video describing the full capabilities and operation of the system, for understanding by a non-pilot passenger. I will certainly go through the numerous suggestions already made here, Thanks again! Brian
