After installing the MSFS 2024 SU3 Beta 1.5.10.0 update, all my Logitech Flight Instrument Panels (FIPs) stop working.
The displays are frozen and buttons and knobs are not responding at all neither to the Logitech MSFS FIP Plugins nor SPAD.neXt.
Going back to the MSFS 2024 official 1.4.20.0 version, all FIPs resume working normally.
Have reported the bug to Asobo.

Followings are my latest nVidia Control Settings, which have been slightly modified to cope with the changes in Graphics Settings of FS2020 and FS2024 I made earlier this month.

In the past, I’d been deciding my Graphics Settings based on trial and error. To be honest, I was quite happy with the results of what I achieved in general.
Last month, I decided to give the Nvidia App a shot to see how far my flight simulation system performance it can take. I was glad to find out the optimized recommendations by the App, both for the FS2020 and FS2024, were not far off from what I anticipated.
Followings are the latest upates of my FS2020 and FS2024 Graphics Settings after repeating adjustments for optimum results from my rigs. They are put side-by-side for quick comparisons:

The “Shorter Trees” by YankeeMike01 by default increases the tree density to 200%. After playing it for awhile, I prefer to lower it to original 100%.
To make the change is simple. Just copy the “00-asobo_biomes_fallback.xml” from the “vegetation.DEFAULTS” folder, and use it to replace the 200% one in the “vegetation” folder. That will do.
Should you need to go back to the 200% density, simply Continue reading
After nearly two years, my ReShade settings for FS2020 have been slightly changed based on the color tone of FS2024 as follows:

One of the most criticized issues with MSFS2020 is that the trees are oversized and don’t look realistic. There are many different solutions out there. For example, I’ve been using the “Short Height” Vegetation setting in REX AccuSeason Advanced Edition to deal with the issue. It does help a little, but the results are still not ideal.
Until recently, I found an addon in Flightsim.to called “Shorter Trees and Improved Density” by YankeeMike01. I was surprised to find out that it almost perfectly solves the problem of unrealistic oversized trees in MSFS, at least in my case.

Have you ever encountered a situation in which you need to create some Hotkeys for specific actions or custom controls for hardware peripherals? But then you suddenly realize that you have no idea which keys or keyboard combos are available.
Here come at last a complete listing of the UnAssigned Keyboard Keys that I have been wanting to put them together for a long time for references:

In the good old days of FSX and P3D, FSUIPC by Dowson was a mandatory component for the running of FIP Gauges. This is no longer the case with FS2020 and FS2024.
However, I continue keeping it in my system because it is undoubtedly a powerful plugin with a wide range of features for flight simulation configurations.
Recently, I decided to uninstall it because I rarely use it in flightsimming. Besides, I wanted to see if I could get some benefits out of it.

In case you are not aware, MSFS (FS2020) has Beta as well. It is Sim_Update 15.
Haven’t found any new features from the Beta but the performance is a little better than the latest official version in my case.
Due to my computer structure, there are occasional stutters happened while running MSFS. With the Beta, stutters are lesser and there are a few framerates increased in places where I usually fly.
Recommend all MSFS users to run or try this Beta version as Continue reading
