Black Square Starship is out now
somiller replied to richbonneau's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
The Starship was a disaster for Raytheon. Here is a great article describing why it was a complete failure: https://airfactsjournal.com/2018/01/why-the-starship-was-such-a-disaster/ -
MSF2020 iFly 737-8 MAX
somiller replied to Alexiyi's topic in Aviasoft Remote CDU for Phone / Tablet Official Support Forum
Works as is for me on every flight. There may be a button or 2 that aren't exactly like the aircraft FMC but it does work very well. The reason it works is because there is, and has been a license available for it for some time. -
Did you confirm that your Navigraph ID/Alias is present in the EFB settings and that it has connected to Navigraph?

MSFS 2024 PSXT makes cockpit sounds disappear
somiller replied to BWBriscoe's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
OOPS, should have specified my experiences are 2020 ONLY. Happens to me at only a couple of airports, but especially bad at Flightbeam KDEN - limiting traffic mitigates the problem. I'm curious if others experience this issue with Flightbeam KDEN? -
I really hate to suggest this, but have you considered A2A's Comanche - I've flown the Comanche IRL a couple of times and the A2A is quite realistic. An example is nose down pitch moment when extending flaps, which all the PA28's do as well. That was one of my complaints with the Arrows from Justflight - they balloon/pitch up when extending flaps, exactly opposite what a real PA28 does. In general I found the JF Arrows to be VERY sensitive in all axis and not at all realistic so I quit flying them shortly after buying. I still haven't tried them again though I've kept installing the updates. Consider the Comanche, its flight model is head-and-shoulders superior to the JF aircraft, and I would argue the most realistically simulated GA flight model in MSFS - perfect...no, but darned good!
-
In the real one when you throw the power back in for a go-around if you dump the flaps too soon without quickly re-trimming nose down you really do have to push the yoke almost to the forward stop to keep the nose from going straight up. Yes that is poor airmanship, but it WILL happen during a poorly executed go-around.

Sensitivity Settings MSFS 2020 vs. MSFS 2024
somiller replied to zachlog's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
HMM, that's an unwelcome revelation - Reactivity is a setting in 2020 I use for every control sensitivity except for throttle. Maybe 2024 doesn't need it, but I'm skeptical. Reactivity really helps dampen the twitchy-ness out of control response. -
PMDG 777 Keyboard Rudder Control
somiller replied to Jean-Pierre Gagne's topic in The PMDG User-to-User Forum
Actually you probably are the only person on the planet that flies a $70+ aircraft addon with keyboard and mouse - and have found out why nobody else does. I'm sorry if that's harsh, but PMDG aircraft are not created to fly with mouse and keyboard...I would even argue that MSFS is not designed to fly aircraft with mouse and keyboard. -
I experience this at Flightbeam's KDEN when there is too much PSXT/RT traffic. It has NOTHING to do with PSXT/RT, rather only with the amount of traffic, and seemingly something specific to FB KDEN. I periodically adjust traffic volume settings in PSXT when at KDEN to eliminate the crackling sound problems. I don't know what it is about KDEN, but I don't experience this at really any other airports. I suspect this problem is system specific and related to some hardware limitation - possibly I/O bottlenecks or sound processor hardware limitations.

2020 - Changing Views Hurts Textures
somiller replied to MikeV1's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Try enabling Anisotropic filter 16X in NVCP for Flight Simulator profile and disable Anisotropic filter in MSFS. -
Flickering navigraph maps
somiller replied to Purr's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
I don't have 2024 but in 2020 lossless LSFG 3.0 causes flickering in blue sky, but I've not seen flickering on navigraph maps on an aircraft tablet. Try lossless LSFG 2.3 and see if that fixes it - fixes the flickering blue sky for me. -
You should be able to clone your C:\ drive and write it to the new partition on your 2TB drive. I think you need to specify the boot drive in BIOS - I would take a look at your BIOS. If that's the case, after cloning and writing to the new partition, restart into BIOS, change the boot device and you should be good.
