Here are three video clips showing how MSFS2024 SU4 Beta (1.6.16.0) performs with the graphics settings I listed in Post 900.
Here are two short videos to share with those who are interested to find out how my newly purchased wireless and attachment-free eye-tracking device AimxyZ are working with FS2020 and FS2024 in my system.
This is with FS2020
Found two videos on YouTube comparing results among different graphics settings.

Hybrid-style instruments are always my favorites
as they not only look nicer but also provide more references. The new Altimeter for the Black Square (BKSQ) Dukes is one of them, which, in fact, is not only good for the B60 Piston, Grand and Turbine Dukes, but also can be used on all other MSFS aircraft.
Two versions were created for the instrument. The Clean Version on the left Continue reading
Last week, I said I could finish the EIS project for the Carenado’s MSFS Pilatus PC12 by weekend. Things happened unexpectedly. Anyway, it’s now ready.
One thing worth noting: due to hardware and software limitations, the way how Carenado implements the ITT function on the PC12 is virtually impossible to be ported to the FIP directly. This causes misalignments between the values sent to the FIP and the ones shown on the virtual EIS.
Although the bug is unsolvable, the way the ITT performs, luckily, Continue reading
Here’s a video preview of the coming Engine Indication System (EIS) for the Carenado Pilatus PC12. There are still loose ends to tie up but hopefully it will be released in the next few days.
Here’s a video preview of the coming Engine Indication System (EIS) for the C172-G1000 to be released soon. It can also seamlessly replace the Engine Cluster on the C172 Classic version, especially when flying with the Generic G5 Gauges.
At present, all layout, structure and programming are completed, except a few more features to be tuned and decided.
This C172-G1000 EIS is the first Continue reading
After a few weeks delay, the EDM 830 (Engine Data Management 830), the last piece of the A2A Comanche PA24-250 FIP gauge set has completed at last.
The gauge is by far the most complicated FIP instrument I ever developed. It has over 3,600 programming lines with many intricated conditions, which I probably wouldn’t remember
of what they are in a few months.
Yet, this FIP version is not a full replica to the one on the A2A aircraft.
In addition to differences in horizontal and vertical layouts, some features of the EDM 830 on the A2A aircraft are simply unable to implement onto FIPs due to hardware and software limitations. In some cases, I gotta use unconventional approaches to achieve what it presents.
Nevertheless, Continue reading
Here’s a short video preview of the EDM-830 Engine Monitoring System being developed for the A2A PA24-250 Comanche as mentioned before.
The overall structure is done. It may still need another week or two to complete the work, however, as the implementation of the panel is not only complicated technically but also in layout and design.
