Never forget the old adage, one gets what one pays for (eventually) 😇

Thanks Lucky, only other question I have is that when I run the script for SimBridge the script stays open (or in my taskbar) whereas when I run the script for say FSLTL the script appears, you press enter and it disappears off the screen completely but still runs. Pressing enter does not seem to work for me with SimBridge, is that normal?

I am a bit confused about the Simbridge option. I duly downloaded and installed it with the FBW installer but when I started up MSFS there was a "not yet downloaded" version showing in my Content Manager. Although selectable there was no download or update option so it just remains there in my Content Manager showing as not installed. Is this normal as I for one have not come across this sort of situation before?

Whilst I thought I already had the best HD monitor for picture quality I am aware that previous posters have mentioned a step up from this which my GPU can take advantage of but I cannot remember for the life of me what it was. "Best Montior" in the search box comes up with not a single post so can somebody remind me what I should be looking for while the sales are on please.

My excuse is being old with senility fast approaching is also a factor!

Helicopter pilots and low flyers might be interested in the new Aerosoft Offshore Landmarks North Sea launched yesterday. At €17.13 plus VAT it seems like fairly good value with nearly 400 new helipads and over 700 on moving ships which you can land on. Here is a taster video: https://youtu.be/tg4GyCzirF8

Spanish HP site equivalent of $812 too, sad or what 😞

Post Doubled itself

Am I the only one that thought that "MS Doubled It's Players Twice" is a pathetic claim? Doubled it's players twice since when? It has done it multiple times, from 2 to 8, again 6 to 24, again 24 to 96 etc. Am I overthinking this?

I am trying to use a Ch Pro Pedals and have no idea how old they are. Does anybody have experience of these and if more commonly available (average price) ones give better results?

If like me the 10 days have expired to enable a roll back you might like to try this suggestion from a reddit post that advised people to disable an Nvidia service called "NVIDIA FrameView SDK service". The person reported that I clicked "Stop" on that service and ran the game again. All the stuttering issues disappeared; the game worked well now. Here is the reddit post, I have NOT tested it with MSFS myself:

Thanks for that tip Frank, I unplugged my Airbus TAC and tried my old Thrustmaster Hotas and voila, the G1000 was back to normal. Goodness knows which binding was conflicting as the Airbus TAC bindings were never changed and used to work OK with the G1000.

There are loads of freeware FRENCH helipads here for our French friends: 29 helipads megapack » Microsoft Flight Simulator Also found the following payware for UK helipads (volume 2 & volume 1) if you don't mind trying each volume at just under £10 each volume: Neil's Tours - Helipads for MSFS Volume 2 - FlightSim.Com Store

In the old days it was not unknown for captains to stroll through the cabin welcoming passengers (and upsetting those who had never heard of autopilot) but I guess that all changed post 9/11. As the A310 initially launched in 1978 I am sure that walkabouts were not unknown in those days.

One gets awfully confused very easily at my age 🙂

I am dl SU12 on my PC and watching the videos on my Samsung pad with a 4G sim card so not using my WiFi connection

While update 12 is downloading with my slow connection I am halfway through the videos on how to fly the a310 on my pad. It does not look like there is a way to auto import navigraph flight plans. Am I wrong?

I have just noticed an Xbox update in MS Store today (might have been yesterday)? Win11 has 4 updates as well if you arenot on auto update. Probably worth updating it today to avoid the rush tomorrow.

Thanks for the idea so just tried from High to Medium then Medium to Low and all three offer no change even after cold restarts.

Thank you for confirming that BOTH versions need to be there, that is one possibility I can cross off the list, sadly even after multiple rebootings my problem still rears its ugly head in any of my aircraft using the G1000. The only point I forgot to mention in my original post is that quite often circa 5 minutes after both PFD and MFD go black, they often reappear for just a few seconds again. Very frustrating 😞

I have searched for an answer to why any plane of mine fitted with the Garmin 1000 has a total Garmin screen blackout after circa 5 minutes flight or even sat on the runway. I haven't used it for perhaps 6 months so unsure how I (or MSFS) have messed this up. When Asobo started integrating the Working title version I deleted the mod to use the new MSFS version, so that is not the problem. I have started MSFS with ALL mods disabled via Addon Linker and the problem remains. Looking in the Content Manager and searching for Garmin I see there are two entries. The first shows a logo pfd screen shot and is called V0.14.0 the second shows the MSFS logo and is version 1.0.4 I have tried deleting both and of course the V1.0.4 is added back automatically on loading MSFS, but the problem remains, I again allowed Content Manager to download the V 0.14.0 and the problem remained. I have run out of ideas, can anybody help please?

I have never had a previous problem updating MSFS but this time when I try to use a purchased airport as the departure, just the original MSFS default airport is loading. I have checked the Content Manager and it claims there are present, but it does not seem to load for some reason. Has anybody else experienced this strange phenomena ?

I have read elsewhere that the final release of Sim Update 10 has been postponed till next week. If correct, those of us like me not brave enough to try the beta version will have to continue being patient. I cannot see this mentioned anywhere on here so has this been an official announcement?
