In addition to some minor fixes, the B58-Style Engine Cluster for the G58 in MSFS has been updated to R1r01, which now includes the landing gear indicator as well.

727: I Gave My PC a Little Push
Probably like most of you, I don’t deliberately overclock my computer even though the hardware I got are OC-capable. Normally I just leave it to the BIOS to auto tweak the computer a bit by default.
Surely this is fine as our systems can run to spec stably.
Unfortunately, no difference from other flight simulators, the MSFS 2020 performs better on better performing computers.
Therefore I lately further enabled XMP, thru which I got about 8-10 fps increase in MSFS by pushing the DDR4 RAM from standard 2400MHz to its rated 3200MHz. That’s not insignificant I dare say.
715: Recalibrating Yoke and Rudder Pedals
Found this video on Youtube and followed what he suggested on recalibrating my Rudder Peddles and Yoke even though they are not from Redbird — my Yoke is from VRInsight and Rudder from Saitek.
The result was surprisingly good. Not sure if it is Continue reading
687: Make Hong Kong more Lively
If you own the Hong Kong City Times from SamScene3D, note that it has just updated to version 1.3.1, in which many animated billboards plus various visual improvements are added.
To make it more lively, do supplement it with the Port of Hong Kong by superspud.
683: JF-PA28 VOR2 Left-deflection Fix
Have you ever noticed when the Just Flight PA28 Arrow III for MSFS is loaded with engine
running (meaning the aircraft isn’t started from cold and dark), its VOR2 needle is always deflected to the left?
It’s a bug, I believe, since the needle won’t return to center when no NAV signals are present.
To correct this error, we’ll have to flip Continue reading
682: A Correct Pattern Flight
Albert Welledits, a pilot in Austria, sent me a video of a pattern flight at LOAN (Wiener Neustadt East Airport) on his flightsim cockpit simulating the Diamond DA20. He says the Rwy 09 in Service is a very challenging final, and he hates it on windy days, in particular.
His skill is very good, no doubt. And to me, Continue reading
681: AC582SL MSFS Version
The Air Creation 582SL was my favorite ultralite trike in FSX/P3D, for which I developed FIP Gauges for it a few years ago. I am so glad to find a remodeled MSFS version of it in Flightsim.to, which seems attracted a lot of interests now.
Had it installed and flied with it for some hours. Frankly, wouldn’t say that it is as good as the original. But at least it is playable. In particular, my original AC582SL gauges can fully work with it without any issue, including the backlit too.
I have modified the gauges Continue reading
679: Increase MSFS FPS Instantly
While I was cleaning up and finalizing my work PC with new components yesterday, I discovered an effective way to increase FPS and smoothness of MSFS instantly.
The trick simply involves the changing of a few options in the game.
