JustanotherPilot

I have been using it for years, they just had an update over the weekend which improves the interaction greatly. It has global Pilot and Controller voice packs and the ability to play your ATC background chatter for more realism to your region, I believe they plan on releasing a version for FS2020.

Don't know if it is the FBW v6 update or the MSFS 1,15.8.0 one,but I've lost all my FBW converted textures, all the aircraft skins are white, yet the textures have the correct paths and cfg files pointing to the dedicated FBW folder. I've also lost all my custom camera views that took hours to setup. Just once, it would be nice to get a MSFS update and not have to play with settings and aircraft mods to get it back to what it was before the update.

+1, We are used to being at the bottom of everything but I was hoping ORBX/FTX ,being an Aussie company would have released more local scenery for FS2020 by now, a version of AU and NZ regions, sadly lacking in the stock FS2020 would be a good start.

Kaspersky considers the latest update has this- ("PDM:Exploit.Win32.Generic.nblk;Terminated;PDM:Exploit.Win32.Generic.nblk;Trojan;High;Exactly;flightsimulator.exe;flightsimulator.exe"). The warning appears shortly after start screens appears then FS2020 loading terminates. A warning Kaspersky window will open asking to disinfect then reboot to complete. DO NOT DO THIS, your flightsimulater.exe file and registry values will be deleted, necessitating a FS2020 reinstall. A workaround if you get the message is to restart your computer WITHOUT disinfecting by Kaspersky. Once your PC has started, disable Kaspersky, then FS2020 should start, keeping in mind your PC no longer has Kaspersky protection. Some Kaspersky users have been able to add the .exe to the exclusions, but most have had no success (myself included) MS Zendesk and Kaspersky are aware of the issue, with numerous FS2020 users reporting it, but no fix available yet because 1.15.7.0 relatively short release time. FYI.

Can you provide a link, I can find any discounts on their website here https://pmdg.com/prepar3d/

I.m happy with ASXP, definitely better than the default, frame friendly and injects weather gradually, cloud textures look pretty impressive, why not have a look on YouTube where there a numerous videos showing it in action.

iFly + 1, enough in depth systems, plenty of free liveries, frame friendly and good support, also recommend the iFly 747, which also comes with freighter variant for free.

As previously mentioned, another spin on this, the US still uses the Imperial system for measurement ( inches ,feet, yards, miles) , but most of the world now uses the metric system,( mm, cm, m. Km). In Australia, we abandoned the pounds, shillings and pence - a nightmare to use, in 1966 for the $A and adopted the Metric system some 10 years later. Having used both systems,metric is much easier for currency and measurement.

Your laptop has more grunt than my Desktop, and I have no trouble running FS2020, P3dv45 and Xplane11.51, all with high settings. You should have no problems except, maybe, keeping the laptop cool.

2500 years ago the Chinese developed a joint to earthquake proof their buildings, something to behold. Humans are pretty amazing. https://archinect.com/news/article/150019184/2-500-year-old-chinese-wood-joints-that-make-buildings-earthquake-proof

I'm thinking A340

Maybe this will help on how to update, https://fselite.net/

From experience, any preview of a pending release that doesn't show the cockpit panel view usually means it's of poor quality, lacking systems and is not one of the models selling points.

I thought the same thing, was ready to add another airport to my Australia collection.

Great value for money, 747-400, 747-8 and 747BCF! Realistic systems and good visuals with plenty of available liveries. I hope i-fly consider developing a version for FS2020
