Glenn in the UK once cleared his very large Logitech setup to basically zero. Now he comes back with a moderate setup that gives him almost complete control over the G1000 suite.

Many of you might have heard me complaining how MSFS2024 was buggy and not good to play since it launched last November.
Two weeks ago, I had it removed completely because neither its latest SU2 (official) nor SU3 (beta) were able to run at all. After the “Asobo Studio” logo showing up on the screen for a few seconds, the simulator crashed to desktop immediately.
It’s so maddening !
After trying various suggestions on the internet to no avail, I had no choice but to trash it. Continue reading
In addition to the EGT data handling differences on the INTFG (ENG) of my C172SP gauges in XP12, I found the VOR2 for C172SP stops functioning as well after the recent 12.2.0-r1 update. Thankfully, the VOR2 keeps working properly in XP11.
After investigation, I discovered the cause of the issue is due to the dataref codes used for VOR2 on the C172SP in XP12 have all been changed from pilot mode to copilot mode, making the necessary VOR2 data no longer fed to the gauge.
I was baffled by the issue in the beginning because I didn’t spot any anomaly from the virtual cockpit on the monitor screen Continue reading
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.
Let me know if you encountered the same issue with the latest Beta Continue reading
Due to differences in EGT data handling in XP12 on the C172SP, an additional modified INTFG (ENG) version is developed accordingly to address the change.
Download link for the extra XP12 version has been sent to all users prior to this post. It should be in the mailboxes of all users by now.
Should you have not received the mail, please check your spam folder first, and then contact me by email (tom.fsxtimes@gmail.com) or via the Comment Section below.
NOTE again that this version is for XP12 only. If you are running XP11, you don’t need to install it. Continue reading
The additional IAS Scales for the Generic G5 PFD are now open for sale. There are
five more new Scales (4 from BKSQ and 1 from Carenado) added to the list in the last couple of days.
There are more to come on my schedule and user suggestions are welcome.
The IAS Scales are sold on a user-selectable 4-pack basis. All current G5 PFD users could contact me for a special discount if they are interested in this 4-Pack Offer.
But note again that these IAS Scales are designed for the latest G5 PFD R4r04, and to be used in MSFS (both FS2020 and FS2024) only. Continue reading
My GENERIC G5 PFD Gauge for MSFS (FS2020/24) have been updated to R4r04. One of the key enhancements is the inclusion of an aircraft label on the Power Off screen showing the IAS Scale being used.
In previous version without the label, not only many users reflected, I got confused with which IAS Scale being enabled as well.
In addition, the new update also combined the earlier IAS Scales with separate Vrefs for Take Off and Landing (for G58 and SR22) into one single Scale for simpler operations.
Indeed, the update processes will be totally invisible to users.
However, since the new enhancements involved structural modifications in the G5 Gauge Installer as well as in the G5_Airspeed_Switcher (Switcher), users who acquired additional on-demand IAS Scales for specific aircraft from me previously should contact me for an updated version of their Scales, so as to be compatible with the new G5 PFD.
Furthermore, Continue reading
A survey report conducted by Navigraph released about a week ago said that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 continues to be the most popular choice among flightsimmers in 2025 so far.
Although its successor, the MSFS 2024, still comes to second which reflects a notable migration to the new version, the actual percentage of respondents saying that they have migrated to MSFS 2024 is less than half of those who reported the older MSFS 2020 is still their go-to simulator.
I am not surprised about the result Continue reading
My current AimxyZ settings for FS2020 and FS2024 have been slightly changed to cope with the updates in graphics, which I found more comfortable to my eyes when flying with small aircraft.
This is my settings for FS2020:
