Glass Out is here!
Does it pop out more than just the built in pop out instruments. For example, can it pop out the fuel tank selector valve? I know I can down load the demo but I won't be able to do that for a few days.

A2A Comanche 2024 Spad next
In 2024 there are, guessing, hundreds of new commands and variables in the Sim. Spad also has a ton of new ones for Sim Connect and others. I've found that some that worked before don't work now. Can't speak for the Comanche, but for the PA28 I couldn't find anything that worked for the fuel selector. What I finally found that worked was using a B: event. There are also many fuel related B: events so even then you need to find the correct one.

Upgrade to Windows 11?
Nothing that you've read is true. Edit: Except that it is easier to create a local account with Pro 🙂 Edited 57 minutes ago by flyingscampi Two examples with some overlap between them: https://www.2-data.com/knowledge-hub/a-search-for-digital-sovereignty-eu-governments-shift-from-microsoft-to-linux-libreoffice https://lowtechlinux.com/2025/07/07/governments-around-the-world-are-switching-to-linux/

Upgrade to Windows 11?
If you upgrade to 11 and create and associate your MS Account to your PC, you are basically providing MS with all of your data. If you upgrade I suggest that you do that with only a local account. MS makes it difficult to do that with Home but it can be done. It's easier with Pro. If what I've read is true 11 is being dropped for Linux by both Governments and large institutions. It's claimed that windows revenue has dropped enough to impact MS' bottom line.

Yet more questions re Controls and Profiles in 2024
Someone pointed out to me that when, for example, you click on the yoke device, the profiles listed below are unique to that device no matter what you name the profile. So, if you have 4 devices then there are, at a minimum, 12 profiles. Three profiles per device; general, airplanes, and specific multiplied by 4 devices. Specific is only for the aircraft that's currently selected. So, you could have many more depending on if you use any specific mappings. Some mappings for the C172 and others for, let's say, the Bonanza. And there are definitely differences in available specific commands between aircraft. For example, the C172 MFD commands are specific only. The Bonanza doesn't have any MFD commands under specific or anywhere else for that matter. They just don't exist. It's a bug that's been documented for both 2020 and 2024. I was pulling my hair out until I found that out. What that means is the MFD commands being specific you will need to create a specific profile for each aircraft to bind them to any device. This is a prime example of a programmer designing something with no user input.

Tuning out performance gains
There's a term for it, Tinkeritus. It's the uncontrollable urge to adjust something, anything, to squeeze out just a little bit more performance. The results, more often than not, are varying levels of frustration when it doesn't reach the nirvana level of performance. It often gets triggered by several things: 1. New version of the software 2. New hardware 3. A new post and/or video However, none of these need to occur in the most severe cases. 🙂

Fs2024 Beta 3 new update. 1.5.19.0
I didn't see this mentioned anywhere. In the .19 beta, in VR, you can popout the MFD and/or GPS and drag it to an external monitor. No big deal except that it now works/updates. Thinking it was a fluke I flew one flight with the PA28, exited the sim, restarted with the 172 and it still works. This is a game changer for me as I use mixed reality in VR. Since I haven't tried to do this in a long time, I'm not sure which update this was implemented.

Logitech FIPs stop working after SU3 Beta 1.5.10.0 Update
I had read somewhere that it may be a beta simconnect issue.

SU3 Beta 1.5.9.0
I can visualize the following. Somewhere, deep in the basement of Asobo, a dimly lit office. Empty pizza boxes, soda cans, candy wrappers scattered about. A lone programmer is sitting in a chair and 4 managers are standing around and staring. The programmer says, "I never touched that part of the system! I couldn't have caused it! He may never be seen again. 🙂

Be wary of possible counterfeit Honeycomb rudder pedals
https://fselite.net/content/continued-confusion-over-honeycomb-aeronautical-management-and-charlie-rudder-pedals/ "....the Serial Number contains a factory identifier, which at the time of writing reads “SA” on the authentic product and “RY” on the unauthorized product.” I recently purchased these pedals and sure enough the S/N contains the "RY". I need to reach out to MyPilot storel to see if I have any recourse with them as the official company, Snakebyte, won't be providing any support. And I doubt that any support would be available from whoever made them. The "counterfeit" ones are working ok but I'm concerned if anything goes wrong.

trees ruining experience
Too many trees in my neck of the woods as well. Also, not the correct ones. Way too many pines and not enough hardwoods.

Honeycomb Charlie rudder pedals not working correctly
I've noticed in 24 that once you go above a certain speed that turning effectiveness decreases and exhibits what you are experiencing. It is almost like you are on a slippery surface and skidding. The speed at which this starts is somewhere above 10kts. My 2 cents it that this is a bug as I've seen this with pedals other than the charlies.

MSFS 2024 flight dynamics and ground/water handling thread
The flight models seem to be very good in 2024. Not sure if this is an issue or not but GA light aircraft like the Skyhawk and Bonanza appear to lose steering traction above a certain speed. Which of course would be expected at some point. It seems to me that that speed is lower than what it should be. It could also mean that I need to give up racing sims! 🙂 Any thoughts on that?

good deal
As of today, 2/22/25, The price is still $299 U.S.
- Are spikes a new beta feature or is my hardware suspect?

Multi screen in 2024 is great
You can use the AM 5 Beta. Most but not all instruments work though. I think this is due to variable name changes in the sim.
-
MSFS Controls... or external? FSUIPC, SPAD...
I highly recommend using any external application, that you prefer, for setting up and maintaining your control setups. This is great insurance for when the sim decides to modify or wipe out any configs in the sim itself.

Is KFNT Modelled correctly in 2024?
Awesome and thank you! Looks much better.

Is KFNT Modelled correctly in 2024?
I realize that with all of the issues occurring with the new sim that this one is a pretty small one to ask about. As the title states though, is KFNT fixed in 2024? In 2020 there were jetways but no terminal for the entire 4 years even though it was reported in 2020. There were also many other buildings missing.

Aircraft Status Upon Startup in VR - MSFS2020
Sabre57 replied to hotdogx's topic in Virtual Reality (VR) for Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)That's what I thought the answer would be. Thanks.

If you haven't heard - TDS GTNXi for MS2024 now available
Since there isn't a demo version, can the GTNXi be dragged to a 2nd monitor in VR and work? Popping out the default GPS in 2020 can be dragged to a 2nd monitor but the screen is blank or just doesn't update. The reason I'm asking is I use a mixed reality setup.

Aircraft Status Upon Startup in VR - MSFS2020
Sabre57 replied to hotdogx's topic in Virtual Reality (VR) for Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)A related question. When I end a flight at a parking spot, shut everything down and save the flight. And then load up the flight in the future, I'm not parked and the engine is running. Any way to prevent that?
