Here, the router is set up to serve the home office at the other end of the house, so there's another old router attached to it, which is a lot slower, but is more reliable. So I normally get 11Mbps. The alpha worked great on this, but I'd like it a bit quicker for the release version. I am hoping to improve things a bit, but at least I know it'll work. Yes, you can use a cache just like 2020, and choose what you load there, and you can also download some things locally. At one stage with the alpha, I was zooming the drone around Italy, at a ridiculous speed, and the scenery managed to keep...

3 or 4 years :lol: :lol: :lol: Well that is the time that MS2020/2024 will have ALL planes that FSX has. For eg, Tridents, BAC1-111s, DC-10s, 707s, 747s, L1011s, 727s, DC-8s, and so on. FSX has all planes that MS2020/2024 do not even have hence me waiting 3 or 4 more years. Regards, Aharon I'm not quite so sure about that Aharon. There has been quite a bit of discussion about the next PMDG project being a 747-100 series. Many of the various forum comments suggest that it is too old school, and along with being a study level "steam driven" machine, too difficult (ie effort needed) to...

Yes, you can only sell your soul once, and mine belongs to Microsoft. This goes back to the time they flew me to Sydney, picked me up in a limo and took me to the hotel with a bunch of 'MVPs' -- ordinary folk like me -- and looked after us very well while asking us how to deal with their user base, without being inundated with garbage. I do think that the way that MS handle their flight sim, with Jorg doing his bit from the top down, is a direct result of these talks. So I haven't 'googled' for a long time, although I refuse to say I've 'Binged' today. I still have my old Windows phones,...

Are you sure they were in the original scenery from Lawrie? e.g. do you have screenshots showing them in the sim? If so then yep would be a missing library maybe, but if not they may never have been in his AFCAD to begin with. You should take a look at ADE and try adding them in yourself using default FS9 buildings, it's not too hard after you've followed some tutorials. see:

Classic Story... and sounds so familiar. We almost got a divorce over trying to buy her a Queen album as present on line as a surprise, I refused to tell her what I was doing... so she assumed the worst! (Okay I exaggerate a bit not divorce.. but a few tense days until the courier turned up) Yes I hear you. I’ve been in that boat too. :unsure: :D

Hi Sorry about delay answering - been busy with work Built by VRC Computers here in Parmy specifically for MSFS - it was going to go in ZK-APK, but that's fallen through, hence the sim pit.

Great to see you back! What are your thoughts on the Tobii eye tracker? I have track IR but I just don’t use it It's pretty good if you like VFR flying and looking around outside the cockpit- super simple setup and doesn't require any wearables. I ended up disabling the eye tracking part of it and just using it as a head tracker. Pretty cool to see how far the tech has come! Can drop this off to you at work if you're interested!

I can take a squiz at this guys and should be able to update the plugin. I kinda need some input from Dan on a couple of other hosting related things but haven't been able to contact him, if anyone has heard from him lately or knows how to get ahold of him could you direct message me please :thumbup:

Things generally slow down on here during the summer months. Splitpin spends more time at the beach, in his speedo’s, rather than posting! :D :lol: CP ...I would have the whole beach to myself if I was seen wearing speedo's in public.... :ph43r:

I've had that a couple of times before and I think it's actually related to the MSFS servers temporarily being down. When it's happened to me it's resolved itself normally after an hour or so.

I am wondering how combinations of elements would affect performance categories? Flying over NY City looking at JFK was always a good test I found. These days, I use only two settings: Global Ultra and Global Max, nothing less will do B-)

Used Google Maps for a while, but went back to Bing. Can't remember why. Am I right that it is just the texture that changes, and the buildings, vegetation, etc still uses the Blackshark AI generated files ? I don't use it but that's my understanding

Yes, I believe that you can change it. Apparently the first time is free (as it should be) and for any subsequent change there is a charge.

Looks very promising. The default ATC I would say is just about the single worst 'feature' of MSFS, it really seemed like there was no improvement at all on FSXs already basic system and in some ways it's worse since it really struggles to handle the live traffic properly.
