Overt nastiness on a forum is often a form of attention-seeking 😉

Maybe I'll finally pick up the DC-6. Can anyone advise how it's running in MSFS 2024 these days?

It's a slow burner, where the aircraft itself may not be super exciting, but all the little quality touches add up and equal a super experience. 😎 Did you check the failures page on the tablet to see if there were any failures that could have led to your loss of electrical power?

I was just about to say that I just noticed there's a version of ENZV on Simmarket, by Ironsim. How is that version?

^^ Do this first. Then, use this amazing utility that has saved my skin so many times. Especially when the caches were causing problems or MSFS would CTD:- https://flightsim.to/addon/105190/clearskies It will reset all your GPU caches and your MSFS Cache in one click. Note that the first load of MSFS after you've run this will take a while. After that it'll be faster than ever.

There are already a couple of good options for ENBR. I have 2 addons for it. Once ancient, one better. By Salvuz and RDPresets. For ENZV, there's no payware as far as I'm aware.

This is so needed! Stavangar is a gaping hole in my Norway addon airports. I have Bergen, Haugasund, Floro and all the Norwegian addon airports, and seeing the default Stavangar would make me cry! 😊

Yeah, understood. I did reflect that it was probably a benefit to VR users. Fair enough 👍

Thanks! @Sparkrite beat me to it. It's an ambient light sensor that attempts to ensure that the MCP displays remain readable it different levels of ambient light.

Gotcha! I can understand why clickspots may be preferred for VR users, to avoid using the keyboard.

What would the benefit of a click spot to get out of the aircraft be? (Genuine question). I understand clickspots for functional things with the plane (like door handles) but why would anyone need or want a click spot to get outside, rather than hitting Shift+C? ..again, just trying to understand if I'm missing something here. A clickspot to get in I understand a little more. I notice there's one in the A2A Aerostar, on the seat after you've opened the door. Although I still just tend to hit Shift+C, as that's what I'm used to doing in all other aircraft. EDIT: Ohh, is this a VR thing? To prevent using the keyboard?

Oh. Well, you just click Shift+C to get out once you've opened the door. Getting out of the plane by clicking the door handle is a default aircraft thing. The same that when you click handles from the outside, the door opens and it warps you inside. Most 3rd party devs overwrite this behaviour as it's annoying not being able to open or close a door without being warped in or out of the aircraft.

I'd be able to tell you, but as you've hosted with Imgur and not postimages, lots of us just get this when we click on your image:- Postimages is the easiest image hosting site to use. Just drag it in, then click to copy the direct link url. https://postimages.org/ Everyone can see images on Postimages. If you use imgur, no-one in the UK, Ireland and half of Europe can see your images.

There's a lever on top of the door, that you need to click first (to unlatch the door), then just click the door handle. You can reach both from the ground.

Click the bottom of the key ring.... BUT.... you must have turned the key fully to left first! I've been taking mine out since the first flight.... I don't want my new baby getting stolen! PS... impressive mastery of all of those old avionics!

Hey Bosflo, You don't need to justify how you enjoy flight sim - there are all sorts of simmers and we're all essentially just enjoying ourselves. I remember the AI flies the plane feature. (I think it was called that? Or maybe that was X-Plane? ..there was a similar feature there too) but I can't recall seeing anything for this MSFS2024, in the assistance options or elsewhere.

Great video. Is this north east England? I thought I recognised the general landscape (and wind farm) as looking like the area that I fly through when flying IRL up to Eshott airfield from County Durham? Could be way off here!

There's none on Simbrief yet. I've been using the PA24 Comanche profile. It's close enough for my needs, as I don't use Simbrief for fuel purposes.

I know of that aircraft in real life, and a friend owned it as part of a syndicate about 10 years ago (until he sold his share and moved to microlight (LSA) flying, just as I did). It's a beautiful platform and has the same STEC 60-2 autopilot, that we have in our Black Square model, 😎

Can you get a map view that shows the above (all hand-crafted airports), but also all addons installed (both in the Community folders and within the OneStore and Streaming folders, from the Marletplace)? That would be my dream (without using Addon Linker, which I know can do this).

Oh really? Apart from the fact that is has a fully integrated Inibuilds tablet in it ; 😄 Why do people just make things up?

I was wondering how this thread could possibly be proceeding without mention of one of the all time greatest airliner addons for FS8, FS9 and FSX. It was stunning in it's time.

Wow, thanks @Overload that sounds perfect!

There's only one feature I've been looking for in a replay tool - and that's the ability to spontaneously replay my landing - without first having started 'recording'. I know, pretty basic huh! I haven't invested a lot of time in looking into this but the 2 or 3 replay tools I tried (including 2024 native) couldn't seem to be able to do that. You'd need to think "Oh, I'm going to start recording on finals, so I can watch my landing". (Which I never remember to do!) Whereas I'm looking for something where, after the landing, I can decide to watch it back. Does this FCR6 provide this option? The only thing I've seen so far that could do this is the replay feature that comes with the AS/ToLiss A346. (But I don't want to fly that plane!).

You can do all of that with MSFS's standard drone camera! 😄 Joking apart though, it was a good video with good visuals but I can't see what makes that specifically a drone simulation rather than just a 1st person camera moving around? Maybe I'm missing something!
