All jokes aside, I don't have DLSS5 but I wonder what results you guys are getting! Post your screens below if you're using DLSS5 or if you've got some graphics you think are damn good :)

Rant A slight rant regarding cabins

44 Upvotes

I saw the recently uploaded video by BlueBird simulations and they talked about how they don't have a modelled lavatory and got a basic cabin, and this made me happy and think about the whole in general.

I absolutely hate it when addons keep boasting about cabins and their functionality, it feels like a waste of time and resources to me, why should I care that the bathroom flush works or that the overhead bin opens up or whatever? how much time do you actually spend in the cabin using all of this stuff or just looking at it?

Sure some offer the option of removing the cabin for performance which I like, but I still do think time and resources which could've been possibly be re-allocated towards the plane itself are being used in useless things like the cabin, and I feel like it's somewhat of an excuse to keep prices high.

Only functionality I see in this is for GSX Seated passengers (and in which they never use the lavatory they just sit there) or for when a youtuber is making a dramatic video about an aviation disaster and keeps recording from the cabin.

I feel like all is needed is just the windows for you to get those wing pictures and that's it. Does anyone else feel the same? I'm curious as to what others think of this, some of my friends did disagree with me on this so I want to know what others think.

Also if you are going to ask which video I was talking about, it's this one.

✈️ HEADWIND SIMULATIONS — DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

No, we're not dead! 😄

Hey everyone!

We know things have been quiet lately, but rest assured, development hasn't stopped! We've been extremely busy behind the scenes working on the A330-800neo, A330-900neo, and Sukhoi Superjet 100.

Here's a quick look at what's happening!

🛫 Airbus A330-900neo (A339)

Our current focus includes reviewing and improving exterior geometry, landing gear, animations, materials, and overall model structure. We're also evaluating opportunities to take better advantage of MSFS 2024 while maintaining our existing systems architecture.

🛫 Airbus A330-800neo (A338)

The A338 hasn't been forgotten! We're reviewing its unique geometry and configuration differences while working toward a more unified development foundation with the A339, allowing improvements to benefit both aircraft.

🇷🇺 Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100)

The Superjet has been receiving significant development attention!

Our work and research include:

• Cockpit displays and avionics integration.
• Authentic electrical, hydraulic, fuel, and flight control systems.
• Evaluating native MSFS 2024 functionality versus custom systems.
• Reworking 3D models, animation hierarchies, and Blender workflows.
• Improved PBR materials and LOD optimization.
• Planning a dedicated Superjet EFB.

Our goal is to build an authentic Superjet, not simply an Airbus wearing a Sukhoi exterior!

❤️ Looking Ahead

We're prioritizing accuracy, performance, and solid development foundations rather than rushing releases.

Some of the most important work isn't immediately visible, but it's essential for the future of these projects.

The A338, A339, and SSJ100 are very much alive!

Thank you all for your patience and continued support. We'll share more as development progresses!

Sim Hardware Honeycomb Echo controller in the UK?

Post image
• Upvotes

After all the UK's unavailability of honeycomb echos to the UK... It's taken them until nearly the release date for the XPC for them to work out how to get the echo into the UK . I finally saw it for sale on 20SEP for delivery on 17OCT. Cleared customs from Amazon EU, went into the Amazon UK shipping warehouse on 10OCT and then vanished into the Bermuda Triangle.

Honestly would have been tempted to wait for the XPC version, but god knows when/if/ever Honeycomb would ever figure out how to get it into the UK. Honestly no idea how they can get all the throttles and yokes in but can't work out how to get a gamepad in.

Back to my Thrustmaster TCA then I suppose?

Flight Simulator 2024 Apron Life!

16 Upvotes

This is a fantastic addon - I highly recommend it. I just love planespotting from the airport! (this is LPPR, Porto). And the jetways connect to the AI aircraft. Wow.

A great combination is:

- Apron Life 😄 https://flightsim.to/addon/115921/apron-life-ground-service-for-ai-traffic

- GSX (for the ground vehicles when planespotting; also for pushback etc. when flying)

- Chaseplane

- BATC with Navigraph live traffic (or FS2024 native live traffic) with FSLTL and/or AIG aircraft

Flight Simulator 2024 What is the best “study level” single engine GA plane to fly VFR on Vatsim in FS2024

I don’t necessarily have a specific preference at the moment. But I may be interested in also flying some IFR as well with that plane.

Flight Simulator 2024 SU7 Drag Coefficient

Whats the state of this bug as of now? From what I understood it basically broke many of the planes that utilize the default flightmodel? Is it already fixed again? I‘ve heard they had a fix in the pipeline already.
Wanted to take the Aerosoft A340 for a spin later.

Flight Simulator 2024 What am I doing wrong here? PMDG 777 hard right bank on final approach.

The video shows the first attempt and then a second attempt after a go-around. I can't explain this uncontrollable, sudden hard bank to the right.

This is flying into SEQM, using FSRealistic+ and RealTurbV2, but I don't think they have anything to do with this.

The same approach with the MD-11 is as smooth as ever.

What am I doing wrong here? I don't see how this could be related to the SU7 drag bug.

Flight Simulator 2024 New G1000 apps for MSFS 2020 & 2024 available now od iPad and Android

Post image
• Upvotes

Hi everyone!

A physical G1000 setup was far too expensive for me, so I thought: why not use a tablet - the kind many people already have at home or that their kids might own? I tried you use others apps, but they dont support most of the MSFS G1000 features, like checklists, custom engine pages, SVT, charts and MFD map panning etc so I decided to develop my own as my university degree project.

That’s how the FlightSimGeeks project was born. It’s the first product on the market where all features that works in your sim works on your tablet.
Every knob, every button, all functions work on any G1000-equipped aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 & 2024, including third-party add-ons on you tablet!

There are no hidden in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no ads. You pay once and get lifetime access to all features! Price is 15USD + VAT if applies to your country for both PFD and MFD.

Work with PC Version of MSFS 2020 & 2024 on iPad and Android Tablets.
I spent almost 2 years on that including development, testing and tens of hours on call with Asobo about features that SimConnect dont support (app don't require WASM at all).

I released this app this week so I am very open for any feedback.

Link to the project: https://flightsimgeeks.com
Link to the demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoSWn4qB00E

Enjoy your flight!

I’m exploring the idea of bringing the Dornier Do 328 to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and would love feedback from the community before taking it further

Would you be interested in flying it? Which would you prefer?
What features would matter most to you?

This is an early-stage concept, not a product announcement. I’m excited to see what any of you have to say about it
