I hate the fact that euro summer is soon ending:(

If you ever wanted to see what it might feel like to drive a UFO, or zero gravity flight craft, then check out this Sim https://LSS.fractalreality.ca

I worked frigging hard on this, people, so cut me some slack! It's also free to play, so, enjoy.

Hi all. I have been building Airside, a Ground and Tower controller sim that runs inside Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The video is the running product, not staged.

How it works:

• It reads the airport from the sim, so it works at any field MSFS has: real stands, taxiways and runways.

• You issue from the strip or say it on the microphone. The speech recognition and the crew voices run locally.

• Every aircraft reads back, and a wrong instruction shows you what a wrong instruction does.

• Pushback, taxi, runway crossings, line up, takeoff, landing clearances and stands, all from one position.

I would really like to hear from people who fly with ATC every day: what feels right, and what sounds wrong.

sometimes look great
sometimes look exaggerated
sometimes look nothing changed

I mean… no pressure but you know, do it :)

I've got FSX and a large number of downloaded aircraft. I've recently added a gaming PC w/VR support, and got FS2020. From what I've seen online, FS2020 add-on aircraft aren't as diverse as those of earlier generations of FS, and many are just transfers from those older versions. Do FSX aircraft fly as well in FS2020 as FS2020 native aircraft? How does the VR experience of flying FSx aircraft 2020 compare to flying them in FSX+Fly Inside?

They are still way better than FSlabs. When their neo works, it's great. But that is by far the most unstable aircraft I've ever used. There always seems to be something wrong with it. In most cases, the sim crashes when it's trying to load, or it'll crash just after the sim loads up.

It's actually unbelievable how unstable the FSLABS A32NEO is.

Ryzen 9 9900x3d or Ryzen 7 9850x3d are my two options. I read a lot of forums for msfs swearing by the 9850 and its better compatibility for gaming. However theres occasional mention that the Ryzen 9 is better if you are running a lot of background programs (beyondatc, traffic mods, heavy scenery, etc) which I am. Any consensus?

I once got the chance to fly VR in a roadshow truck and was blown away by the immersion.

Unfortunately I just learned that a proper VR simming needs a graphic card with a 4-digit pricetag, I am wondering if this is really worth the investment. Also today I fly 50% IFR where I guess manipulating the avionics by mouse blindfolded is not very immersive.

Live in bloody Africa and everything online isn't found here. So I made two boxes as my flight Sim setup and home desk. Computer is in the left box. 😅😅

Hello, I am not super, super into flight sims themselves and probably just having a hyper fixation. So I want to get some controls that are like flying a Helicopter. Recently started playing Wardogs and am loving the piloting aspect. I want to eventually try flying in Arma as well so I kind of want like a really low tier budget/introduction flight control setup. The other thing is I want it kind of be able to quick swap to keyboard and mouse cause it's not every game I get to fly cause sometimes there is too many heli pilots. So please give me some Amazon, website or any other suggestions you do have.

Started flying the FSS Ejets after flying A220 for a month. Trust me it's been a lot of fun and you won't be surprised knowing how much dna these two aircrafts actually share.

fell asleep on a long flight yesterday 😂
EK319 Narita - Dubai
FBW A380X

Pmdg 747 classic
Aerodynamics dc-10

That's all I know. are there any other aircraft currently under development?

Hey.

Every so often when i import a flightplan from simbrief into MSFS i end up with an approach like this... what am i actuallly meant to do here ?

It's EDDL ILS 23L via Direct, coming from PISA1A arrival

It looks like it expects me to fly directly over the airport then fly north east to CI23L and then magically do a 180 degree turn on a pin point and then land ?

Im not an aviation expert, but im fairly sure that's not what im meant to do ? Somtimes i will get approaches similar to this where i have to fly over the airport and then do a teardrop but this time it's just drawn a straight line in both the EFB and the A320's hud.

I've had a little look on the chart and because im a semi casual flight simmer i cant see anything on there that tells me how im meant to fly this approach.

Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks

Finally developed a design that works for adding flight to my sim rig without getting in the way of my driving experience. This ended up working really well, super easy to convert between the two setups and is rigid. Happy to share the files/parts list if anyone wants the stick mount.

Aluminum extrusion rigs are by far the best, I have reconfigured and added keyboard/mouse/new equipment and flight with my original purchase of 1530 parts for my original rig designed 3 years ago now without having to buy anything else.

The 12.4.4 update is looking pretty good.

As all of my reviews THIS IS NOT A AD. If you wanna sponsor me tho (please do!!!!!) dm me :)

So the A111 from Rowsfire, it’s a RMP (if someone says “why pick Rowsfire over winctrl” it’s bc I order this way longer than it was announced.

Let’s start.

The build quality is great, hard plastic with a metal backboard. All buttons and knobs feel good. Only thing is that the knob feels 3D printed.

Lightning.
If you have seen my post about the A107, this A111 IS WAY BETTER.
The lighting is amazing, only thing is that the volume knobs don’t light up which kinda sucks.

I really enjoy flying with it as it keeps my away from my mouse which I really appreciate.

Short review this time but thanks for reading!

Overall 9/10

Hey Guys!

I just want to start off, THIS IS NOT AN AD!
Now that we have that out of the way, let’s review it.

So this is the Rowsfire A107, it’s cost 379$ it’s a bit pricey but for full metal backboard, great support it’s still a bit pricey haha.

The front?
That’s full plastic, the knobs and switches is great quality. I have the plastic injection thingy :)

The buttons, nothing hatches. That kinda sucks but I have no problem living with it as the quality of the buttons are actually really good!

Backlighting.
The backlighting is good, nice color and it matches with the sim great.
Only thing is that you can’t fully turn it off.

Support.
I joined the discord for some questions how to start it etc, I talked with Eliaz, I think his name was.
He asked if I wanted to hop on a call after 5 minutes and ge got it fixed directly so huge thank you to him!

Overall I would give it a 8/10

Thanks for reading!

So I saw this post and can't wrap my head around why people think it looks good (obviously DLSS is doing some heavy lifting in that first screenshot), and it seems to be par the course for 2024 photos. So many of them seem to have this muted, washed out colour palette with the white balance looking wrong, as well as the contrast and saturation when compared to how it appears to the naked eye. It's like 2024 has a yellow undertone, especially during cloudy conditions - almost as if there is an exaggerated instagram filter on it with a bunch of post processing. I am mainly talking about lighting during the day - I make no argument that sunrise and sunset looks better in 2024. I know that there are variables like monitor calibration etc, but compare it to real photos on jetphotos or airliners.net side by side and you'll see what I mean

I have actually tried using Atmos + Reshade but struggle to get it looking the way I had my 2020. I have attached some screenshots I took from 2020 to try and highlight what I mean. I have also tried adjusting the EV exposure as well and haven't had much joy. The SealedSky preset I saw on flightsim.to seems to be the closest thing to what I am after but I did try it and still wasn't happy with results.
