677: G1000 on FIP is now Possible

Have you ever had an idea if the G1000 instruments could be shown on the Logitech’s Flight Instrument Panels (FIPs), it would be great?
G1000-MFD
It is possible now.

John of Simgeneering, a private pilot in New Zealand, said he was inspired to create his own since he couldn’t find one on the market for his instrument rating training.

So far, he has implmented an emulator for the G1000 MFD (Multi-function Display), which Continue reading

676: Is my Knowledge Obsolete ?

One thing that puzzles me a lot in MSFS since the beginning is how the aircraft are parked in the airport.  The picture below shows the most common manner how static aircraft are placed in MSFS.  MSFS_ParkingT2SShouldn’t the aircraft be parked in the opposite direction facing the horizontal line of the T-mark?  

I don’t see Continue reading

675: XPL_GaugeSwitcher v11 Update

The XPL_GaugeSwitcher, which helps users running my Gauges under Logitech X-Plane plugins, has been updated to version 11. xpl_gsw_11

Besides new features, enhancements and optimizations, two ready-made Profiles for the B58 and C172SP are included to the new version so that users of these gauges can start flying with them immediately.

For those who are currently using the XPL_GaugeSwitcher with custom-made Profiles created already, no worry. Continue reading

674: MSFS Addons Linker

During the CTD period in the last two days, a few friends including Demetrius and Robert Temmerman recommended me the free utility MSFS Addons Linker in Flightsim.to, which helps effectively manage addons loaded to the Community folder as well as to enhance a safer and easier environment in case I need to empty the folder.

The utility was also suggested by John H. Helms, who provided the tips for increasing ships in Post 665 about a month ago.

Honestly, Continue reading

673: MSFS is really Depressing – Update

I am so happy to report that the MSFS on both my machines have recovered from CTDs. One by reinstalling to a new folder.  The other was by replacing the Community Folder with an empty one.

After I posted the CTDs on both my machines yesterday, Robert Temmerman suggested me to remove the Community folder to avoid any potential or tangible incompatibility among the addons in the folder with MSFS update.  He said he ran into similar situations before and it took him a while to figure this out.

Jim Gerow also forwarded me an announcement from RealsimGear saying that their addons are temporarily incompatible with MSFS after France update and they are working onto fixing it.

Sadly, I didn’t receive any notice from RealsimGear nor I alerted enough to aware that the GNSs I recently added to my system would be the culprit causing the crash.

Unfortunately, Continue reading

672: MSFS is really Depressing

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

671: MSFS Logbook Fix

Received a few inquires asking why their logbook records in MSFS didn’t update accordingly.

Actually there are answers in various MSFS forums over the Internet.  But in case you didn’t aware of it, here’s the fix:  Continue reading

670: My Vegetations Mod Update 3

Just slightly modified the vegetation files I’ve been using for the last few months in MSFS since Post 654 to better meet my personal preference.

If you are interested, you may download it from the Freeware Section in my Store.  A few more files are added to the package as well.

But as always, Continue reading

669: My Cockpit Rev #29 – 11900K CPU

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
