FFX P-180 Just Dropped On Marketlace
Matchstick replied to btacon's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
ceBiggest problem for me as always with FlightFX is the insistence on being Marketplace only. I understand that the experience there is positive for them as devs but it's still extremely poor as a user 😞 As for the plane itself, it's good though it feels a little like it's been built to hit it's price point (or maybe a delivery window) - for a simple example compare the P-180 EFB with the one from FlightFX's previous plane the M500. In that comparison the P-180s comes off as incredibly bare bones almost lacklustre. So while a more affordable price is not necessarily a bad thing for the general public with a plane this interesting I was hoping for a bit more myself, even if that meant a price closer to the M500's. -
The long awaited X-Plane 12 update has been released for the Nimbus UH-1 and it free for Aimee who has a copy of the XP12 version https://store.x-plane.org/Nimbus-UH-1-XP1211_p_1037.html (This is original military version, a similar free update for the civilian version is due to follow along shortly) I've been flying the XP11 version reasonably successfully in XP11 but there have been a number of issues so it's great to finally be able to take up an XP12 native version.

NVIDIA 5080 Review: MSFS Enters The Chat
Matchstick replied to HiFlyer's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
It seems that nvidia are leaning hard on Frame Generation to provide the performance boost on the 5xxx series cards and I'll be honest I'm unconvinced how well that works in flight sims, especially in planes with glass displays rather than steam gagues. -
Grumman TBF Avenger.
Matchstick replied to Fielder's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
In OrbXs defence on this one, the plane would have been developed while MS still banned weapons on aircraft so it's not that surprising. -
M2K-C from Militech
Matchstick replied to sd_flyer's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
I'm curious how accurate the HUD and autopilot are as they are both critical to how the real world planes is flown. -
COWS DA40-XLS Incoming
Matchstick replied to St Mawgan's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Still no sign of the Da40 release and unfortunately it appears that the price shown in the OrbX Direct app has gone up ~60% from the pricing originally being shown. -
COWS DA40-XLS Incoming
Matchstick replied to St Mawgan's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
I just had a look on the OrbX Direct site and in the App. Both have pages for the plane but the website doesn't have a buy button for it and while the app has an Add to Cart button pressing it just produces a Product not found error. So it isn't available to buy yet, but I would not be surprised if that changes by this time tomorrow. -
WB Sim 152 v.2.1.0
Matchstick replied to St Mawgan's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Is this version for '20, '24 or both ? -
MSFS 2024 vs X-Plane 12
Matchstick replied to sfaviation's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
X-Plane and MSFS are both good sims The ideal solution is to use both as they have different strengths and weaknesses, but that does come with cost and disk space requirement implications so isn't perfect for everyone. -
TDS GTN750. Will it work with MSFS 2024
Matchstick replied to peter_737's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Not yet, Asobo broke the functionality TDS uses to display the screen in the original '24 release and while they fixed that in this week's release they introduced another bug that messes up the display (it could be worked around by changing the size of the display but that would also require a change in every plane that uses the TDS so isn't a realistic option). So it's back waiting for Asobo to fix the code again. https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/t/nanovg-api-not-rendering-data-correctly-stretched-blocker-bug/12099/5 -
Maybe tied up working on remaining issues with the built-in aircraft they created for '24 ?
