Except the Engine Cluster, seven (7) more gauges for the Just Flight PA28R Arrow III were just released, including the ADF, ALT, ATT, HSI, TCR and the 2 VORs.
And what’s more, from the previews of the company’s coming PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV and PA28-161 Warrior II, many of the gauges are very likely to be compatible with them as well.
An introductory discount Continue reading
Without a flight plan, the NAV needle (or CDI) on the VOR(s) will always stay in the center when the GPS Mode is selected:

FPS hit isn’t uncommon when a pop-out screen is moved to a second monitor, despite how small and low resolution of the monitor it might be.
In a “conversation” I had with Michael Basler in Germany earlier last month, he said that his fps were literally cut by 50% when he shifted a pop-out screen to a touch monitor connected to the main computer.
My reaction was: since I don’t see any performance hit from my GNS430 and GNS530 connecting to the motherboard’s integrated graphics ports, I suggested him to give it a try if his computer supports the feature.
Later he came back to me saying that he still couldn’t believe it but it works. Continue reading
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
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.
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.
Due to vulnerability of the Community folder in MSFS, I recently use
the MSFS_Addon_Linker to map all my external apps to the folder in oder to keep things manageable just in case.
Everything works fine except the RealSimGear app for the GNS430 and 530, unfortunately. It was similarly put under the Addons folder where I store all my external apps.
The app seemed to be loaded into MSFS successfully but only a few buttons work. Continue reading
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.
