I have to agree it's a shame with how the business is changing you would have thought Aerosoft would have made a really BIG effort to have made their first partnership with Toliss a new chapter... At least make an effort to admit their textures and modelling are sub par and try and to make an effort to tell us when they can address this. The systems from Toliss are fantastic and it could be a great plane but I just find I don't fly it very often. I think they should have partnered with iniBuilds personally their texturing is un matched in my opinion. H.

Is there a Vexcel map of the improvements, I think I remember they were doing Mount Rainier but I wonder if it extends to Mount St Helens or Mount Hood area as well? Great though overall to have the national parks, I hope Zion National Park is included.... H I

Possibly they are... What I find interesting.. does anyone here remember Return to Misty Moorings? They had for FSX CIRP and SIRP amazing ice field runways that had so much character, there was even a yeti you had to find! I am surprised so many developers only focus on airports and not more interesting locations that involve weather short runways and a story... Emma Field was part of that... if Claude can help maybe I can have a go I have some great ideas for an adventure... Recreating the set for John Carpenter's The Thing just outside Stewart would be an example.. Maybe I am too niche? h

I asked Claude whether it could help me with creating an Icefield Strip above Juneau. it replied not yet but if it had access to the MSFS 2024 SDK it would be possibe. It walked me through enabling Developer Mode showing me a step by step picking the coordinates then writing the XML code how to place objects and testing them within the terrain model.. It gave me certain Taku Glacier coordinates that should not have any conflicts. it checked how Runway and scenery objects are placed..it talks about crevasse free spots it talks about working through SDK Console errors any snags... this was a one minute question and it delivered a PDF of how to create a runway and basic scenery... is this going to be a game changer especially if it had access to the SDK or one thinks its all hot air? Fascinating and frightening... Hamish

AutoFPS is probably one of the greatest gifts we have been given as a community. Reset XPDR has tirelessly pushed this program week after week to being an absolute must have as far as I am concerned. It's a shame that he does not get recognised by MSFS but I am glad we have it and hopefully one day he will.:)

Great thank you all for the suggestions so far especially that once bitten you dont want to go back to your current set up. Quest 3 seems a popular choice. H.

I have been follwing the VR trend for a while, I am slighly worried that if you fall in love it may make you unable to go back to a 2D Monitor but for VFR/Heli/Bush flying I can imagine its pretty cool... I see there are a few new headsets appearing this year but its complicated with all the Pimax versions the new Steam headset coming it would be so much easier if one could walk into a shop and try the different headsets and different resolutions/FOV etc etc but it does not exist so you have to commit.. If you want to dip you toe how much to get a fun go and mainly for flying Bush not LAX with 100 percent Traffic. I have a 7900X3D 4800Nvidia 64GB Ram. Any suggestions would be great. $1000 dollars is for me something I could give a go at but some of the headsets we are looking at 3K plus!! Any tips appreciated or wait till something about to launch? H.

Have to say it looks ropey unfortunately. We have been so spoiled by Fenix/Pmdg/Inibuilds H.

One feature I really miss from Radar Contact days is the ability to declare an emergency and be vectored to an suitable new airfield nearby which can happen for a multitude of reasons. Rather than start on VFR which I agree is important I think it would be good to make sure IFR is working as well as it can and has the basics down... H.

I used (and loved) the 2020 version of this. With the 2024 version, I've spent hours and hours trying to get it working (at least 10 install attempts) and just do not get any traffic from it. I'm; Disabling the default models using "Corsten's One Click Disabler) Putting the GAMod folders into Community, as instructed Setting the AI OFFLINE and traffic settings in 2024 exactly as requested. Yet, I can go to any airport in the world, small, medium or large, and absolutely no traffic appears. There are a number of others in the comments on FS.TO who seem to have the same problem. I see there is a Discord for this Mod and a few others that Corsten has done. When you ran the disabler did you see the script was able to disable the various things that need to be disabled and then enable the mod itself. I was lucky my installation ran first time. I just waited a couple of minutes and there are lots of GA planes. I then started the AIG Traffic Injector and that worked on top so all good. You must persevere as its a great mod. I would say post in the discord as well. 🙂 H.

I just found GAmod for 2024. That installs lots of GA traffic and no subscription. Seems to be working great so far just need to play about with the settings. H.

Yes that's impressive. Time to look at PSXT. H.

I have just downloaded and installed AIG was not as tricky as I expected. Had a quick look and the models are excellent and it seems to inject a good amount of traffic but I am not seeing any GA aircraft so far so not sure if I should download all the flight plans that are offered I pretty much went with Global. H.

I could not find the exact same part you had but does this help? 2026-04-15 16:29:15.803 [INF] [ MainWindow:PromptForAmdFirstCcdC ] AMD First‑CCD mode enabled by user choice 2026-04-15 17:04:33.824 [INF] [ MemoryManager:MemoryManager ] MSFS successfully attached after 2 attempts 2026-04-15 17:04:33.829 [INF] [ ServiceModel:ApplyPerfOptAffinit ] Captured original affinity=0xFFFFFF 2026-04-15 17:04:33.829 [INF] [ ServiceModel:ApplyPerfOptAffinit ] Universal physical‑cores‑only mask built.

Ah yes I ticked the box I did not realise you can have it selected without having to have it use the first CCD only but unfortunately it gives worse performance than allowing it to use all the cores. There is a program called CPU Set Setter that allows you to make sure MSFS uses the first CCD Cache but also keeps the other CCD working whereas it also has a setting called 'Cache No SMT' which behaves the same as Auto FPS it blocks six of the cores on that die so to speak. Next time I run MSFS I will enable the first CCD in Auto FPS and grab the log for you. Thanks Hamish
