I just read your text in my last post, after now looking at your screenshot, you have a 3.81 gig install. Your size on disc/allocation is messed up for a number of possible reasons. It likely won't be the software as no one else is reporting such install sizes.

Not a hope that is correct. I haven't installed it but 4.6 will be correct as the others have got. A 2gig installer won't install 50+gig of software especially with the types of files it contains.

They said it would be supported for "at least" 10 years when first released, so 2030. If you believe anything you read these days.

For VR use you really need a 40-series GPU with a decent CPU. That one WILL work but you'll be disappointed in the performance. And please don't, like me, make the mistake of thinking you can upgrade later.

Personally I'd wait until MSFS2024 is released so that I can check how it performs on my current machine, which is only marginally more powerful than yours - you may well find that the promised performance improvements are enough for you.

If you open Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) while MSFS is running and select Performance it shows a summary of how your system is working. If you then click on CPU it shows how much work each of your threads is doing; most likely one is doing all the work as MSFS currently is only optimised to do that. If you average out what each thread is doing that gives you the overall performance of the CPU. Your GPU will be waiting for the CPU............   We're told MSFS2024 has much better thread optimisation so hopefully it will use more of the threads allowing our CPUs to achieve their potential - and of course give us a much better performance experience. That'll really be the only reason I'll buy 2024!

Hi Everybody,   Welcome aboard, this is a Breeze Airways Flight (flight number 540), with nonstop service from Windsor Locks (KBDL) to Raleigh Durham (KRDU). We depart Bradley Intl via runway 24,  DCT VEERS departure, cruise at 34,000' and arrive in Raleigh Durham via ALDAN4 arrival, RNAV/RNP-Z approach into RWY 05L.    

Are you actually just confused about the X, Y, and Z axis?   X direction is from nose to tail.  Y direction is wingtip to wingtip.  Z direction is up and down.  Is there a problem with the TDS aircraft landing lights?

Nowadays it's not enough to just check the Axis configurations; you also have to check both the Sensitivities and Null Zone adjustments in the Calibration Settings. This might have to do with W10 and W11, but I cannot say for certain because I do not use either of these Operating Systems. I'm still a W7 guy.   In my experience, Reverse Thrust has always been controlled by the F2 key; it's never been able to be mapped to a separate Axis setting, regardless of what the Controller Instructions say. 

Maybe use Fsuipc to do everything, including calibration. It's always better, most of the time, to use a single piece of controlling/calibration software.  I'm sure that you have checked that you no duplicate key or function duplicates, & that you have completely disabled all the joystick & throttle assignments in the sim itself, & are using Fsuipc exclusively.    The kit looks pretty interesting. (Hellish expensive, but awesome)  

With FS2024 coming out i am hoping there are people who still use fs9. because i am switched from Logitech X52 over to Virpil Controls and i am having fits trying to set up the controls. before my fsuipc issues here is my hotas setup. all Virpil Controls: the 50CM3 Mongoose throttle quadrant, control panel 3, Alpha Prime grip on the WarBRD-D base, and the rudder pedals. all firmware has been updated and the controls have all been calibrated in the Virpil Config program so the controls are updates and ready to go.   Problems i am having: 1) throttle -  after assigning the axis. i go to the axis configuration screen i do the top, bottom and middle. but when i go to the sim. if i even think of moving the throttle it immediately dumps into reverse thrust. when i throttle up and bring back to neutral they seem to stay put. however when i try to actually apply reverse thrust buy pulling up the levers in back of the throttle to go over the detent (like the airliners do) reverse thrust will not activate.   2) ailerons - again i have everything assigned and calibrated. in this case the minute the mains leave the ground i into a left bank as if i am turning the aircraft. i have checked the trim settings and everything is neutral the dang thing just wants to go left.    Virpil does not provide support for setting the controls up for specific game. i have already looked into that. i have also checked YouTube and other forums for help but no one seems to have the same issues i do. most just press a button for reverse thrust. i am trying my hardest to keep using FS9 as i have so much time and money invested in it. SO any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks Mr Zippy,   No its a simple product that you put over the rims and as you can see in the video it reflex the monitor which in turn hides the rim of the monitor. I've seen it on YouTube but cant find the video.    Regards   Harry

Possibly this product?   https://video.matrox.com/en/products/gxm/triplehead2go-series/dp-edition

Hi everyone it's nice to meet you all and I'm Harry new to the forum.     I'm just putting together 3 monitors and in the video above this guy has a product to hide the rim between the monitors. Can anyone tell me where I can buy that simple product from or send me a link of it being installed?   Kind regards   Harry
