630: MSFS-Specific Fip Gauges Pre-Sale

| Tom Tsui

As reported in Post 627, all my FSX/P3D line of gauges are virtually compatible with MSFS.  However, since most of these gauges were based on specific aircraft in FSX/P3D, their layouts and styles might be different from those instruments on the same or similar aircraft in MSFS.  Some features on these FSX/P3D gauges, therefore, might perform differently in MSFS, too.

At the moment, three new series of FIP Gauges custom-made for MSFS have been planned.  They are the C172, C152 and DR400, in which their gauge line-ups are corresponding to the C172SP, C152 II and DR400 bundles in the FSX/P3D line, but might have variations in the new version.

Special pre-sale discount offers will be given to all existing users of my gauges (up to 40% off) as well as new users (up to 30% off).

Anyone interested in the pre-sale offers could check out the details here. To make things simpler, pre-sale offers are bound to bundle packages only.   Continue reading →

629: My Second Impression on MSFS

Since I successfully reinstalled the new Flight Simulator (MSFS) two weeks ago, many of my unpleasant impressions about it stated in Post 611 were overturned.

I am not saying that the new MSFS has replaced P3D to be my flightsimming platform. But I have to admit that the more I fly with it, and the more I like it; especially for “sight-seeing” purposes only.

Followings are my subjective ratings on some of the key features I give to MSFS based on the requirements of my cockpit, compared to P3D and X-Plane.
I am expecting the scores to change soon as there are quite some products have been released or being developed for it.
