I'm not sure I agree in this specific instance. Navigraph just announced the collaboration with Flightradar 24, which makes the feature readily available to third-party developers. I'd imagine this will become table-stakes for ATC programs very quickly. I'm not sure it's something they could really postpone for long. Plus, given how quickly they plan to get it into the experimental branch, it doesn't seem like it was a tremendously heavy lift.

Do GPUs typically have throttling to reduce clock speed to keep temperatures within range? I’d hope they’d have a way to protect themselves from getting to temperatures that were going to damage the hardware. Just curious.

You're right. I'm hoping I'll be doing the vast majority of my flying in 2024 before too long. Would really love to have ChasePlane for '24 before I make the move though.

Is anyone else a bit annoyed that the PMS50 (GTN750) cannot be activated in 2020 and 2024 at the same time, on the same computer? I'm using both sims at the moment and expect to for a while (some stuff I want to fly isn't in 2024 yet). The only way to activate it on 2024 is to deactivate the license on 2020 and vice-versa, and the activation process is a bit of a pain. I suppose I could buy a second license, but since I expect to be fully on 2024 at some point soon-ish, that seems like an expensive way of doing it. Thoughts?

Never mind. I hadn't deleted the old version before I installed the new one. All good now.

*** Note: the solution to the issue is listed in the post below. I just thought I'd leave the details of the error message in case someone seeing the same thing is able to find this while searching. *** I've been getting a consistent error when I try to install 0.6. "Error getting file attributes: <my community folder>\milviz-aircraft-d30\SimObjects\Dirty30\liveries\milviz\Short_99_5479\thumbnail. GelLastError: 448." After that, it just backs out the whole install. Anyone else seeing that? I've downloaded it multiple times, so I don't think it's a corrupted download.

Hi folks. I've been using a second PC networked to my primary flightsim PC to handle some things like ATC, Navigraph Charts, and various tools like SimToolkitPro, FS-FlightControl, etc. Using a networked PC is sometimes a bit clunky, and some newer tools don't seem to support a networked setup. My primary monitor is an ultra-widescreen running at 3440 x 1440, and my GPU is an RTX 4070 Super. I have a second monitor that I use for work, which is a 4k monitor, currently connected to my work laptop. If I added this monitor to my flightsim PC, would it have a significant effect on my MSFS framerates or performance? I'd be using it mostly for tools outside of MSFS, but also for some pop-up windows from within the sim, e.g, BATC. What I don't intend to do is use the 2nd monitor to expand the MSFS main screen. I have onboard graphics available too, but I don't know if trying to utilize that for the 2nd display is likely to cause more trouble than it's worth. Right now I'm primarily flying 2020, but will be moving to 2024 in the future. Thanks! Alistair

Won't install for me (grayed out), but I don't have SU2 beta installed. I'll just hang out til SU2 is released.

Thanks for the swift responses, folks.

I can't tell from Flysimware's page whether their Learjet 35a for MSFS incorporates the FMS that they created as an add-on in the P3D version. Can anyone confirm?

I should have mentioned that I finally got a response from PC Aviator telling me I could get my CRJ v2 upgrade from Aereosft One.. I’d heard from Aerosoft a few days earlier, but it looks like PC Aviator are still around.

I got the same message from Aerosoft. I’d tried the PCAviator serial before and it hadn’t worked, but now it does! Yay!

Cool!

No callback and got the same "Please call back during regular business hours" message today. Looks like PCAviator may not be aviating anymore, which is a shame because I made many purchases with them. Unfortunately it's radio silence from Aerosoft too (I asked if I could get the upgrade based on receipts and serial numbers from my PCAviator purchase).

I got the “please call back during regular business hours” message when I called at 10:30 Eastern which isn’t encouraging. Left a voicemail.
