Ah, now I know why the Duke got delayed 😉

Assuming everything is plugged in well, the power supply and the white light on the cable box is on: If with the previous cable the headset showed the same problem (not recognised as connected) then almost certain it is the headset or the software. If you have the old cables still, just try them again and see if the problem you had with them before shows up again, if so then the new cable is broken. I understand it is not a completely new cable?

Edit: Previous post just came ahead of mine, thks @sd_flyer

Oh bummer, I missed that message, I thought it would be released this week, thanks. But I wonder why, all planes released so far work just fine with SU15.

Release today, of the Duke? The week of the 8th of april nears its end. And friday is always a nice day to release something.

Stunning video! And perfect sound track. I had to think hard if the music was Jurassic Parc's or Microsofts.

Although these cables are nicely packaged, the electrical parts do not seem to be of good quality. I'm already on my fourth cable and have a fifth in reserve 🙂

---Deleted--- Oh well, never mind, I'm looking forward to seeing how it will interact with AI and how it does the separation.

Depends on how the MSFS OneDrive will turn out.

Same, I arrived 4 hours early 🙂

I think you just have to wait a little after a flight before shutting down, so it had some time to idle (clear memory or something).

Imho, it's just how things work in VR. Everything, near or far, is viewed with a farsighted focus. I found that the closer things get, the smaller they seem, and this even applies to watching 3D movies in VR. In MSFS, sitting in the backseat of the FSR500, the G1000 screens and yoke look big, but when I switch back to the pilot seat they suddenly seem very small. I don't think much can be done about it, unfortunately.

Recently my PSU was slowly reaching the end of its lifespan. As others say about cleaning, it also seems like a good idea to occasionally clean the inside of the PSU, if it is out of warranty. I opened up my dead PSU and it looked like the inside of a vacuum cleaner, lol. A thick layer of dust covering the small electrical components.

Wait... one day after release all these fixes? Did I fall asleep for a month, eh... no, it's still 2023. Was there time left to test all these fixes? Okay, I let you guys do the testing and hold off for now 🙂

You could try to use Com2 only with the default ATC. A while back someone mentioned about this and for me, it works. Even when I forget about it and halfway the flight the ATC goes silent, when I switch to Com2 the voices come back online.

Many thanks for answering and the links, @lwt1971

Do these planes still fly in Europe nowadays?

That looks like a graphics card (driver) time-out. I had these frequently in DX12, CTD's or even a complete shutdown of the computer once. Lowering settings could help but I reverted back to DX11 and never experienced this happening again. edit: I had the same MS warning and advice pop-up.

My G1000 panels dim fine. (in DX12 and the brightness of the panels set to manual (Menu button on PFD). I have set them to 100% manual and then change brightness with the overhead switch.

You can also move MSFS with the Xbox app. (Store version only I think)

Nice screenshots, the adjusted brightness looks fine. I never got around to using the customization tools. In recent weeks I flew over the African deserts and there I stopped using Google because the tiles lacked a lot of detail due to the excessive brightness that (even if I used the adfustment tools) could not be brought back by making them darker. I made this post a while ago and the author of GME is aware of this but unable to correct it. The Google maps have burned in bright areas where their photogrammetry exists. Maybe it is that what you are seeing?

I hate to say it, but that seems to answer the anomalies you are experiencing. The standard sat tiles are color and, more importantly, brightness adjusted to match the lighting in the MSFS world. I've been using GME myself for a long time until recently, finding that while the colors are better in places, with GME everything is usually too bright and looks washed out. If the city update uses new tiles in MSFS I can see why this doesn't fit to the GME ones. Best to try it with default sat imagery, see if it still happens.

You can also type EDDK in the search bar and it will show all the available (installed/not installed) Köln airports.

I would be mesmerized by aurorae.

Yes slow, I am trying for a few days now to get the update but cancel it because I get 1.5 to 2.5 mbits/sec. Seems MS servers are on vacation.
