@NoelI think you wrote about this another thread about me converting a USB volume knob into a trim wheel? Based on that I also tried it as rudder control… and it does indeed work! I wished for a third arm and hand though but it is possible 😂 I am better with the pedals.

Bought rudder pedals myself a month ago. It is my first pedals as well. I got the Velocity One and just use them with standard settings. I had a joystick before with twist rudder as well. There is a learning curve for sure… suddenly you need to allocate a part of your brain to coordinate legs and feet as well! 😁 This is where the beauty of MSFS And Youtube comes in. I’ll probably get killed by some of the IRL instructors, but here is what worked for me as practise: Create a controlled environment Pick an airfield you are familiar with Set a stable weather scenario e.g. clear skies, stable cross wind, no gusts Make loooong approaches so you can get yourself set up without stress Fly along the runway, no need to land initially Use pedals to keep the plane parallel with the centerline Use yoke or stick to counter drift and stay on the centerline Repeat, repeat, repeat Once you can fly the length of the runway in the right position, add the landing What only dawned on me after getting the pedals, is that a correct crosswind landing in a GA should actually be with the upwind main wheel first, the downwind main wheel next and then nose wheel. But the logic kind of happened by itself when I followed the above. Also I have realised that the rudder input I use during approach may (of course) have to be reversed after landing to correct on the centerline… it may seem obvious now, but it feels more logic with the pedals. Good luck! Edit: I still have the occasional panic landing, so not 100% consitent yet 😉

AutoFPS is magic. Combined with the AICull feature of AIFlow it keeps my mediocre machine well alive and kicking.

It’s great to see you active again, Bijan. Thanks for all your hard work and contributions to MSFS over the years.

Great stuff - hope it works for you...

Roland, the AIFlow dev, has made some good tutorials and posted them on Youtube recently. Maybe they can be of help? https://www.youtube.com/@rolandfoster6301

There should be a readme.txt or install.txt with those files. Installing Bijan's trees is quite easy. It's just drag and drop into your community folder according to which season you want. Owning both, for me Bijan's trees still have the upper hand compared to AccuSeason.

Version 2.0.25 was just released 10 mins ago 😉 (5) fixed unable to disable system tray option.

Let us know how it went 👍🏻 I think Henrik and the team have a new version coming soon. Supposedly optimized even further and taking up a lot less space.

Where in the world is this?… might want to take the Comanche for a slow cruise there 😁 It looks like a beautiful coast line.

+1 for GAIST A labour of love, excellent coverage and performance, free…

You can add them to the exe.xml and they will start with MSFS.

Nothing wrong with Opentrack. I have used Opentrack for years with the wireless Grassmonkey device. It works great.

I am using AIFlow and see ‘the full package’… I am only using the AICull feature of AIFlow to limit AI aircraft.

Thanks, I did try that, but the performance seems better when I just go without the Expert settings… maybe it is placebo 🤗

In order the get that option, I need to switch on the Expert options, right? I just want to use the basic or auto feature which works really well on my rig, and keep the clouds at high all the time.

@Flyfaster_MTN002, how would I do that using the automatic setting? Unless I select Expert, I have no control over how the app adjusts the clouds… or am I missing something. Basically what I was hoping to achieve was to use the app in the automatic mode and have the clouds frozen at high.

Dear @Reset XPDR, thank you so much for developing this tool. It has revived my simming with MSFS getting nice stable frame rates on an ageing machine! It works from hanger to hanger and gives me a smooth flight every time. Is there a way to freeze clouds e.g. at HIGH when I don’t use the Expert settings? The automatic settings work best for me and I wish I could freeze the clouds at HIGH to give the extra head room and let the algorithm do its thing 😁

Wakes are implemented. Can't comment on superiority, but can say that it is a remarkable undertaking and achievement that keeps getting better. It's free so you have nothing to loose other than 10 minutes getting it up and running.

Hi, I also fly with a stick... If you want to hand-fly instead of using the autopilot, you can also just dial in a bit of rudder trim to counter the roll tendency.

Unfortunately I don’t have an Alpha so can’t suggest anything there. Did you have a look on the A2A forums - my bet is it is already discussed/addressed there. The A2A guys are also quite active on Discord so easy to get help there. The tow bar is actually a stroke of genius. You just press the big T on the tablet and you are transported to the front of the plane. Then you can push and pull and steer the plane with your main controller… in your case the Alpha. Works really well for me. Regarding power, what exactly do you mean?

Over on the A2A forums I believe the devs have recommended to use Realistic in MSFS and keep the Accusim setting at default (in the middle) or maybe even a notch higher. I have the settings at Realistic and default respectively. In strong winds and turbulence the Comanche does get tossed around but it is in a completely different way than in the native sim. I can trim the plane and even with some turbulence it remains OK… that would usually never happen without Accusim. The JF Arrow for example is often all over the place in turbulence. For me up and down drafts or thermals also seem better behaved with Accusim and gone are the exaggerated roller coaster rides. I have stutters too, but not because of Accusim. Generally the performance with Accusim has completely surprised me… as good as or better than equivalent native planes. The only niggle is that when MSFS stutters I experience what seems to be a glitch via SimConnect to Accusim and the Comanche has to ‘catch up’. It manifests as a small bump almost resembling turbulence. There’s plenty discussion in the A2A forums that. BR Søren

Dang… time to pull out the credit card then 😉👍🏻

Does any of the new owners know if the Comanche properly maintains the SimConnect radio status variable for COM1 and 2? This is what FS-ATC-Chatter app uses to determine if the radio are powered up. Alternativley if someone can confirm that FS-ATC-Chatter works with the Comanche?
