To be truthful, I'm finding comments like this hard to understand, when, 'over the fence', you called MSFS the 'GTA Flight Sim' just 2 days ago.

I'm moving to Kiribati for the launch day 🙂

It’s a module for your Notepad++ app that you are using to edit the config file.

It will be released about 24 hrs after SU13 update FINALLY completes all its decompressing 🙂 (some time next year)

Another Captain Sim "ASO" (Aircraft Shaped Object) 😞

Hi Mike, New update of REX went and deleted my entire Community folder (I had selected the custom Community folder option when installing). I entered by REX Axis details for registration, and the app seemed to accept this and I was able to go through settings. I opted to download one of the extra sets during this session, but then though better of it and clicked the option to remove the extra set. Given the app probably didnt think the authentication was correct (but failed to advise me on this first run) its likely the delete/removal action for the extra scenery set actually deleted the entire community folder.I'm guessing its a bug as the app was probably in an inconsistent state.

I came across this problem quite a while ago. When I posted a question about this, I was told that I had to raise my trust level, and that is based on how many posts you make in the forum. So I set about asking new questions, posting responses to existing threads to boost my trust level up enough so I could vote without restriction.

I use a 3DConnexion SpaceMouse (Wireless or Compact version) which provides so many useful axis that are just perfect for controlling camera views. The only downside is that they arent cheap.

Thats really bad jibe to make! I was an early adopter of Xplane, and back in the day with either XP5 or XP6, there were some major bugs, that went untouched for at least 6 or 9 months, and Austin was missing in action. Why? Because he had just obtained data for the surface of Mars and thought it was way cooler to build a Mars surface to fly around in XPlane instead of fixing some really annoying bugs. It was at this point that I decided to ditch Xplane, because it was evident that bug fixes/improvements etc were the sole discretion of one guy and what peaked his interest at that time. It wasnt until many years later when more people eventually got involved with assisting Austin, that I gained interest again.

YMML is now available for purchase 🙂

I would like to see Asobo use AI to monitor all real world controlled airports, the metar weather and the traffic patterns of real aircraft (from the source they use to inject 'real traffic' into the sim) and start to build up some 'smart' rules for each controlled airport as to which runway is used based on weather conditions, and for airports such as EGLL, learn when they switch landing/takeoff runways at certain hours . Using those learnt rules (which can be enhanced and added to as more observations are made without requiring new sim updates) , have MSFS sim query the back-end servers to know which direction the in-sim ATC and AI should be directing traffic and which duty runways should be used.

Apparently Elgato (who make StreamDeck equipment) will be releasing a new update for the software based StreamDeck iPhone/iPad software at the end of this month. This means that you would be able to set up a 64 button software based Streamdeck on your ipad, instead of having to buy the hardware based Streamdeck units. And with the June release they will also be selling a lifetime license for this software, as a different option to the existing monthly subscription pricing. Given that there are many prebuild Streamdeck profiles on flightsim.to, the iPhone/iPad software version of Streamdeck hardware might be something to look at. NOTE: The streamdeck aircraft profiles on flightsim.to will require some sort of additional plugin (like AxisAndOohs) but at least with this combination, someone will have done the hard yards detecting all the lVars and designing the button interface for SD for you.

I have 2 StreamDeck XLs and a SD mini, and I'm seriously considering adding more (XL and maybe a SD+)! Up until recently, I was using a bank of GoFlight pushbutton (GF-P8's), GoFlight toggle (GF-T8's) and GoFlight button/rotary (GF-RP48's) hardware devices to interface to my sims. Whilst the GF modules have been useful up until now, the fact that I would have to manually change the magnetic labels on the front of each GF module, when changing aircraft, was a pain. The great thing about the SD devices is that the button function AND the label change when you load in a new config.

"If you could have any rudder pedals..."i would buy the Brunner CLS-E MK II RUDDER with Toe Brakes. I currently use the VirtualFly Ruddo pedals.
