672: MSFS is really Depressing

| Tom Tsui

MSFS is really a depressing game to me. It took me nearly two months to get it installed on my PC in the beginning. Then having this and that issue fixed and solved over the months, I finally had it set up right recently.

But after the latest France update yesterday, it crashes to desktop (CTD) on BOTH of my machines, meaning I am totally shut off from it.

I am currently reinstalling the game on one of my machines again.  It’s going to take another 12 hours or so, l believe, for the 171.83GB contents.

The most painful part is, Continue reading →

I just replaced my few months old ROG MAXIMUS XII APEX motherboard and i9 10900K CPU with the new ROG Z590-E Gaming Wifi and i9 11900K CPU.  It was 11900Kunintentional and there’s a long story behind due to unrecoverable CTD from MSFS 2020 on the Apex system.

Anyway, I just want to say that Continue reading →

668: The MSFS GaugeSwitcher comes at last

| Tom Tsui

For users running my FSX/P3D Gauges under Logitech drivers/plugins, I developed a utility called GaugeSwitcher to help them quick call up different FIP setups to match with the different aircraft being flown.

Here it comes the MSFS version of it at last.  MSFS_GaugeSwitcher_37
Besides new features, enhancements and code optimizations, I have included four ready-made Profiles for the C152, C172, DR400 and M20R, so that users of these gauges can start flying with them immediately.

Download Link has been sent earlier today and it should be in the mailboxes of the MSFS Gauges users by now.  If not, contact me via email or Comment section below.

Sorry, Continue reading →
