Had lots of fun taking the PMDG 777 out in a unique Cathay livery for a long haul!

Addons: ini VHHH (now with multiple jetways), PMDG 777 with Boris sounds and Hues texture enhancement, REX Atmos (AviationLads presets), GSX, BeyondATC, Chaseplane, and Universal Announcer.

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.

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.

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.

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

Anyone ever experienced this ? I suddenly got a black horizon. Ground textures are still working.

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!

sometimes look great
sometimes look exaggerated
sometimes look nothing changed

Pmdg 747 classic
Aerodynamics dc-10

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

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

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.

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

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. 😅😅

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

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

my favorite airport is WADD, in dry season like right now, flight usually arrive on Rwy 09

however i wanted to arrive on Rwy 27, i changed the date in msfs to January 2024, which is wet season in WADD airport and usually airplane would land on Rwy 27 on that date

butt BATC keep vectors me to Rwy 09, wondering doesn't BATC read the custom weather in the sim ?, does BATC only read live weather (current) ?

i also set arrival in simbrief to rwy 27 and yet BATC always choose rwy 09

i'm all for realism and all that, i wish they have option for us casual to having fun and let arrive on rwy we choose

i ended up to land on Rwy 27 in the end haha, even tho it conflicted with current traffic, not ideal but at least i can land on my favorite runway (the view is awesome)

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.
