CLE_AA-5B_GrummanTiger

Came across this post on Reddit to find sad news that an avsim member, wrap23, passed away. His son has been asking where he might sell his late father's flight sim hardware and I did suggest here on avsim in the swap meet section. Here's the relevant post for anyone who wants to check it out:

So they updated MSFS 2024 recently and unencrypted the base default aircraft, which is great news for the aircraft modding community. Now, in light of this, did they also decrypt the necessary files for LNM scenery loading? I hope so...

Good news to see that Asobo has acknowledged and are working on it! #3 on the wishlist!

I did see this portion on the SDK documentation, though: Seems at least you can get all the airports, but not sure about navaids. EDIT: I noted that for the navaids/waypoints, there's a value to enter for "dwArraySize". Could that have anything to do with how much of the world to request, hopefully? Forgive my cluelessness, I'm no developer or programmer but eager to help.

Can the radius be adjusted? Say, to encompass the globe?

I was just chatting with Raul of FSReborn and he said he and other devs are able to access data via the Simconnect facilities API and that it's open to anyone. Might be worth looking into?

Not in the market for one myself as I got myself a new monitor not long ago, but I noticed these absolutely astounding sale prices and knew I should share: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=43305 https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=42772 $660 for a 49" and $350 for a 34" (both ultrawide) is not going to happen again for a long while. Get 'em while you can.

Very low price of $380 USD at Best Buy now: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-omen-34-va-led-curved-qhd-165hz-freesync-gaming-monitor-with-hdr-displayport-hdmi-audio-jack-black/6540004.p?skuId=6540004 I own this monitor and can vouch for it. HDR is surprisingly robust for a VA panel. Looks fantastic in MSFS. If you do buy it, make a mental note to check out the "Black Stretch" function in the OSD. It enhances your SDR contrast significantly (I use the medium setting).

Oh, so somebody DID! I can't find info about MSFS integration on their site, though...where did you learn of that?

Not talk, it's real. FSReborn of the Sting S4 fame is releasing the M500 in the near future. Here's a preview from a couple of months ago by twotonemurphy:

Sure as heck would be, but I don't know if *anyone* has ever done the Grumman Tiger for a sim...

Sure as heck would be, but I don't know if *anyone* has ever done the Grumman Tiger for a sim...

I'm hoping for the J-3 Cub, about as pure a stick-and-rudder plane there is and perfect for the bush.

For $280, these are hard to pass up for your ultrawide flight simming needs!
