If you dont use SayIntentions you may want to try this, offering similar results, and it's free: GSXComms - Utilities for MSFS | Flightsim.to

I have the feeling that 2026 is going to be an expensive year for sim addons!...

Please do not take my suggestion in a personal and wrong way. It was not meant to be addressed to you in particular at all, if you think my remark was offensive, then I apologise, it was certainly not my intention. We have numerous discussions here on AVSIM regarding performance in general and we keep forgetting to indicate the VRAM, if you observe specifications under many signatures, you will notice that, more often than not, it is not there either. Unless we consider that VRAM is irrelevant for performance - I don't believe that is the case - it should be part of the discussion and parameters we exchange here so as to establish some more reliable benchmark for comparisons.
-
It would be helpful if you also mention the amount of VRAM you have (not only the card), as this parameter is usually totally ignored in these discussions and render comparisons - or opinions - pointless.

I have enough of airplanes flown by computers 😝 they're so boring, this one has a nice oldish flavor and all ingredients of a Dassault airplane: powerful, reactive, fast, loud, confortable for the passengers, something of a "civil fighter". Marcel Dassault used to say that "if an airplane is nice, it will fly nicely": their Falcon 50 certainly fits that criteria very well and Contrail did a good job at rendering it, especially for a first release. If, like me, you are tired watching TV screens in your cockpits with all instruments squeezed in one package, this is an aircraft for you. It is so versatile that I can't get out of it. Today I landed it at OPGT (Gilgit), an airport I am familiar with IRL, and a guaranteed good shot of adrenaline.

That could explain why I don't even know what a WASM crash looks like since I am using Addon-Linker and only a few addons are active on any of my flights. I have the INI Tristar and A350 and after countless flights with both never experienced anything like what is reported here. Would be interesting to know if those reporting this issue are using AL as well.

You can activate the following INS waypoints after the first 9 by pressing the button located on the left side of the screen behind the throttles. You can also follow your progression on the map if you wish. For a better understanding, read page 101 and 102 of the IniBuilds L1011 manual https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/35986-aircraft-manual-tristar-airliner/

The way I did it two weeks ago: backup control settings file, uninstall in Windows settings App (if my memory serves me well), reboot PC, login Microsoft account and download FS 2024. All my addons are on a separate drive and did not need to be reinstalled (I use Addon-Linker). I presume one would need to save a backup of the Community folder if not using AL.

Sugar and salt are the worst offenders in industrial food. Sugar leads mostly to obesity. Salt to cardiovascular diseases. The percentage of obese people increaes every year in Europe due to junk food essentially. For the rest 7500 steps a day at least four times a week will help.

No, but - beside what was already mentioned by several others regarding gratefulness for the extraordinary dedication of the FlyByWire team in developing two extraordinarily complex simulations -, subjectivity is the major concern here: What are your computer specifications? If you describe this A380 the way you do, it probably is the result of having an inadequate hardware to handle it, this is the main reason we generally rarely agree on performances on this forum and others, because our specifications are all over the place! I, for one could run the "old" version of the A380 satisfactorily and have completed successfully a number of long flights both in 2020 and 2024, the latest being last week from WSSS to EDDF with heavy sceneries on both sides and solid overcast on arrival, with a perfectly smooth flight. Does it mean it's perfect, no, it only means my computer can handle it, therefore my opinion can only be positive. When expressing an opinion, let's be careful about the subjective elements leading to it. Especially when those at the receiving end worked for free.

No, no, and no, you cannot ask that question! ... but since you insist: Business Turbine: Starship Black Square Airliner short/medium range: Leonardo MD80 (20th anniversary) Bush: SWS PC12 GA: Black Square Bonanza, Baron, Duke, sorry I can't choose... Did I mention any Black Square product? GA twin (yes I know I am cheating!): FSW C414 Airliners Oldies: PMDG DC6B Airliner Long Hauls: TFDi MD11 Business jet: FSW Lear 35

I fully support CFIJose suggestion of using Addon-Linker. It is so easy to use. I read here on numerous occasion, that people did not want to use it because they had no idea what flight they were going to make before starting the sim, therefore could not select the add-ons they would need! In other words, they jump in the car (or their plane), start the engine, and then think about where they want to go... When using Addon-Linker, you need to have the following checked: 1/ The plane you want to fly, 2/ eventually the livery you desire, 3/ the departure airport, 4/ the arrival airport, (and any dependencies you may have for the same) that's it. GSX will be loaded by default since it is linked directly to FS24. Try that and time your loading time.

As per signature, my Nvidia card has 24 GB of VRAM, that helps even though it is an "old" 3090, I would not be able to tell what my FR are since I never ever control them with any plane, all I care about is if my flight is visually smooth, and it is with the FBW A380.
