Re: Active Sky for MSFS

I bought it on release day and there has already been an update. My experience with it has been mixed. Sometimes ASFS in active live weather mode seems more accurate for my local conditions, but usually the default MSFS weather seems more accurate. I've settled on the passive ASFS mode for now, whic...

Re: P-51 download

FSX or P3D? Many years ago the FSX P-51's (military and civilian) were sold as base models and you could buy a separate Accu-Sim realism expansion pack that was compatible with both P-51 models. The later versions for P3D simplified this by including Accu-Sim within the airplanes' coding. As I recal...

Re: Question about the A2A Comanche

Yes, you can reset the whole aircraft to a brand new state. The 'how' to do that is slightly different in the MSFS 2020 version than it was for the FSX and P3D versions, but basically you go to the maintenance display and select that option. The aircraft model is designed to maintain a persistent st...

Fuel drain question

I just bought the MSFS version of the Comanche. During my first walk-around, I noticed that the fuel drain bottle under the fuselage will mate with the drain nozzle but no fuel goes into the bottle. So, I compared this to the P3D v5 version and the bottle graphic for that station is greyed-out and n...

Re: P3Dv5 in VR?

I have P3Dv5 and a Reverb G2. They work together well but it's a bit tricky to re-orient the HMD head position for each new session. MSFS 2020 is more convenient to jump right into in VR. MSFS also looks better, even when I compare MSFS to my ORBX True Earth Oregon region. (I also use ORBX Global Ba...

This isn't a judgement against Black Square -- preliminary or otherwise. I just wanted to add the full quote because I for many years I'd only heard the first part of it.

Re: J3 for MSFS

It seems there are only few contenders available: 1. BT Studios J3C-65 Cub . Cheap price ($10 USD). You can hand-prop the motor. Window and door open. "Flies like a Cub." Textures lack wear and detail. Review: "Not great, not terrible ... It filled my Piper Cub niche. Worth a crack. I...
