Philippe aka 1L2P in France spent a lot of time on flight simulators about thirty years ago. He decided to come to fly again when he saw the early versions of MSFS 2020. Followings are what he built so far.

After months of tuning the Full Forward View adjustments described in Post 638, I have standardized the settings of the following three (3) paramters in “LandingPilot” [CAMERADEFINITION.2] on all aircraft as follows:
InitialZoom = 0.6
This gives me a zoom level generally the same as the external aircraft view.
InitialPbh = 0, 0, 0
This puts all aircraft on the ground horizontally without any tilting.
InitialXyz = x, x, x
These three values are aircraft-specific, in which I adjust: Continue reading
In the last few days, I got a chance to test the beta version 1.3 of the SkyElite for MSFS by 4FlightSims.
One of the improvements that impresses me is the fixing of text displays on soft keys and info pages that I reported in Post 659. Now they are properly aligned.
Regarding new features, the most significant should be the SE1000 AHRS mode in the PFD. Although it is different in style and operations from the G1000s on the default aircraft in MSFS, it functions equally as good in general.
In addition, Continue reading
Rick Sheehan, a friend in the US, reported that he recently ran into a problem updating Gaming Services; showing an error 0x8007139f. Since then, he couldn’t load MSFS (Microsoft Store version) any more.
After searched more than 50 sites and tried numerous possible fixes including several PowerShell fixes to no avail in a few days, he found a solution to get past the error, at the brim of reinstalling the simulator.
All he did was Continue reading
With the launch of the Just Flight PA28R Turbo III/IV, additional ASI, ATT, MFP & RPM custom-made for the new aircraft are added as free updates to the original Arrow III Gauges. No upgrade fees required.
Users of the Arrow III Gauges should have received the Download Links in their mailboxes by now. If not, Continue reading
Just flew about an hour with Just Flight’s newly released PA28R Turbo Arrow III/IV with my Arrow III gauges.
Besides the ASI, RPM and MFP, all remaining gauges in the current Arrow III series are good for the two new brothers as well.
That’s good. I will schedule to work on those three gauges for the two aircraft. And for those who already owned the Arrow III gauges, there will be discounts when the three gauges are ready.

In the old days with FSX/P3D, USB 2.0 was my preferred choice (see Post 582) when connecting Saitek/Logitech Flight Instrument Panels (FIPs) to the simulators.
Since I replaced my older computer for MSFS in last November, I’ve been deliberately avoiding to use any more USB 2.0 ports and hubs. Now all my 12 FIPs are connected to the system via a powered USB 3.0 hub.
In the past 6 months, Continue reading
Regarding Simgeneering’s G1000 MFD implemented for Logitech’s Flight Instrument Panel 
(FIP) reported in Post 677, do you like me feeling a little disappointed since it is for FSX only?
No more, John, the developer, informed me that he has created a new version of the MFD that is compatible with MSFS now.
Besides needing more memory, system requirements are generally the same as the previous version. That’s great.
You can check out more information about the MSFS version on John’s Simgeneering here.
Do note that this G1000 MFD requires Continue reading
Unlike FSX and P3D, MSFS chooses the Zlin Savage Cub, instead of the Piper Cub, as one of its default aircraft. Nevertheless, they are both fun to fly with.
And here’s the Bundle Gauges developed accordingly, including the Airspeed Indicator, Tachometer, Engine Cluster (Oil Press, Oil Temp, Cylinder Head Temperature), and Wet Compass with Inclinometer. Together with the Multi-shared ALT and VSI, they generally covers all essential gauges for the Cub.
In addition, Continue reading
