How can I limit the distance at which FSX renders AI models?
I believe it is smallpartrejectradius = 0 Also LOD is fixed from the developer of the plane. But i think rejectradius gives them the maximum allowance Edit: also try setting SmallPartRejectRadius = 1.0 That i think improves it significantly as well. In short, the game will reject any aircraft or object the size of one pixel. By default i think this is set to 4.0 or 5.0

Pipedream Social Features
Got me! Shared passenger mode pit and fully integrated multiplayer ATC = pipe dream. Quick chat features and custom color nameplate for group players very possible. Shared pit has been discussed, but devs meant fully controllable and clickable shared pit not likely soon. I shared cockpit camera that allows a passenger to switch seay views/move camera around maybe an easier feat. Id love to throw a family member who doesnt play flight sim in the back of jet and rip around/show them around. Fully integrated multiplayer ATC definitely is my fantasy alongside shared pit.

Nice feedback, id bet everything one of these four features becomes a reality within the next year

I understand that, but there are a ton of people that dont use vatsim or discord. I'm afraid people read bullet point one, and stopped reading. But its 2026, i hope things like shared cockpit view, integrated multiplayer ATC, hell even voice recognition ATC commands like say intentions to become standard features of MSFS of future year.

Should definitely be able to turn features off. But come on like you wouldnt like the passenger feature. I get ATC could be cumbersome outside of group play

Chat bubble that pops over your name plate for either custom typed message and/or quick chat phrases. Hello, want to fly together?, Go back to airport? Too close, too fast, etc The amount of times i crouch spam to say hello with other players, seems like there is space for a feature like that. Multiplayer ATC interactions broadcast to your radio. Hearing others call final, takeoff, etc would be both helpful and immersive. Even if it was for only group players Shared cockpit, but not in the sense that everyone expects that requires aircraft devs to do coding black magic to get a fully functioning shared pit. But rather, just a camera in the passenger seat that you can look around, zoom in, or translate. A pure passenger mode. You have no idea how cool it would have been to throw my sis in the backseat of a jet or helicopter and fly her around. Imagine being able to ride on a 737 of your mate. Even if it was just group play. Walking up to someones craft and pressing a button would be ideal, but being invited to it like group play makes sense. lastly, ability to add colors to the name plate of your group. Anyway, let me know if you have any ideas or like these. I figure some social elements would go a long way!

ATC
One big request id make is prioritize major airports on the list on the ATC menu. When VFR trying to find KHOU or KEFD in a sea of chemical plant helipads, hospitals, fire stations, NASA, and even a community college... is a nightmare

Blackbird C130J...
I literally was about to type, what scenario is three engines going out are there. Does big, inertia, wingspan, or heavy have any influence? GA twin prop vs 747 vs 130. I imagine they dont experience asymmetry the same/pilot input

IniBuilds L-1011: How will you fly the TriJet ?
If im not lazy, look up an approach, look up an arrival, go VOR to VOR. But stoked to have steam gauge airliner on marketplace.

real world sitting height is so misunderstood (pet peeve)
I raised my default view to 60% but if i hit shift keypad 0 it resets to 50%, shift spacebar to 60%. There are some planes where the top of the hud gets cutoff if not. Helpful when im using hotkeys to shift around the cockpit

Microsoft Famous Flyer 13: Northrop T-38A Talon
Quick follow up, all bugs reported and fixes must come from microsoft. Slight bummer of it being a "first party" product An update is coming soon, but i guess report bugs to msfs team?

Microsoft Famous Flyer 13: Northrop T-38A Talon
Running into a weird bug where if i start on a custom start spot the landing gear wont fully extend. if i start in a parking spot cold and dark or on the runway ready to go everything works fine. Only if i try to start ready to go or cold and dark from a custom spot. I dont get three greens and the gear comes out halfway. Also the emergency gear handle does not do anything, so you're pretty limited. Not the biggest deal in the world, but did take me awhile to pinpoint it being related to custom position start.

Microsoft Famous Flyer 13: Northrop T-38A Talon
Plane taught me a valuable pilot lesson. The pitot tube at altitude displays IAS! But the mach number takes calibrations from the pitot tube and static port to give you TAS! I thought i was flying super slow, but then it was reading mach 0.90-0.95. Ah be darn pitot tube cant display TAS in less dense air. Took me awhile to figure out how to do long hauls properly and convert IAS to TAS at altitude.

So i was doing my flying around KEFD and there was someone flying a "Aerospacelines 377 NASA Pregnant Guppy". Wonder if they were using the fsx A2A captain of the ship payware in MSFS 2024? Not sure if FSX planes work in msfs 2024, but they were most definitely in the 377.

Thank you, i just stumbled upon a reddit post explaining the physics of it! Would of never thought of that

MSFS 2024 - Custom Weather - Wind Speed Increases
I have noticed wind blows my plane the opposite direction of the flag. If the wind sock is blowing left, my plane will drift right, and vice versa edit: Never mind, i just learned a physics lesson

MSFS 2024 VORs
I am confused, what is wrong with VOR and ILS? I fly steam gauge
-
MSFS 2024 VORs
Swear this is a repost? I use VOR with no issues. Rarely do i ever fly direct to a VOR. Rather i use them to get me to my next fix or VOR with a little bit of geometry. But i tend to pick most up around 45-55 miles, but i picked up GPT 100 miles out earlier.

I just can't keep up ...
I uploaded a scenery for fsx a few months ago and it had nearly 400 downloads. The majority came from simviation. Outside of the US and europe there are tons of countries where hardware is limited and FSX is still the go to simulator.

I wouldnt mind some MD to the marketplace. I wouldnt mind the Aerodynamics stuff to the marketplace as well. But one that i thought could join this list is the 377 stratocruiser. For all you prop heads and supper guppy fans.

In reality you only fly so many. I feel you gotta fight the "gotta have it" urge.
