641: MSFS C172 Engine Gauges Updated

The MSFS C172 Engine Gauges has just been updated with smaller fuel pump

and valve off indicators, so that they are not stressed too much and still significant enough to be noticed when activated.

Users of the Engine gauges could use the same download link to get the updated file and reinstall it to overwrite the older version.  If the link is discarded, Continue reading

News: P3D v5.1 Released

Lockheed Martin has finally released P3D v5.1.   Seems like not too many people are aware of it (based on the number of respondents in its support forum) while most people are keeping their eyes on MSFS — me the same.

Anyway, hope this update solves or at least improves the many issues reported after its launch.  There are still many features MSFS can’t or doesn’t do properly today.

634: MSFS Gauges Batch #2-3 Delivered

Have burnt some mid-night oil in the last few days to finish the remaining gauges (except the Engine Gauges) for the MSFS C152, C172 and DR400 bundles as soon as possible.

Glad that the last few Navigation gauges have done and sent out earlier today. 
Will take some breaks before moving on to the Engine gauges as well as some documentations plus the MSFS specific GaugeSwitcher.

625: New Logitech Plug-in for MSFS

Reported by David Bechkett that Logitech has now released a MSFS 2020 Plug-in for all Logitech Saitek Pro Flight Panels including the Radio Panel, Multi Panel, Switch Panel, and the Instrument Panel.

Apparently now SIMCONNECT, FSUIPC, and other 3rd party plug-ins are no longer required to use the Logitech Panels with MSFS 2020. All of the Logitech panels will now be recognized by MSFS 2020 if you download the Logitech Plug-in from the Logitech Support site.

Just search for the Panel that you have and in the downloads section you should find the new plug-in.   Here’s the link: https://support.logi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360024692354–Downloads-Flight-Multi-Panel

That’s great news. Thanks very much, David.  Continue reading
