I haven’t done a long haul yet, took me some time just to figure out the Cessna Citation AP. And since there’s no way to speed up the sim that I’ve found, I don’t have hours to spend at my computer. Lol

The newest version 1.6 addresses the ILS issues that were present before. But yeah as far as I know the runways are all there and functional.

Definitely an improvement over default. Especially at night. Love it. And for only $15 bucks, it’s a steal! (Side note— I wished they changed it to Las Vegas International Airport. I was never a fan of the new namesake. But I don’t want this to go political)

I need help. I bought and downloaded this scenery, all indications are it installed correctly, yet my Vegas scenery is still the default. Googling didn’t help and their forums have yet to respond. What am I missing? *EDIT*** Fixed. I'm using Steam so the path to the community folder by default was wrong. I had to do C:User/name/appdata etc but the ROAMING not the LOCAL folder.

No idea what that means. I’m computer literate to a point… Also that “Zaat” post would’ve been something I said just a few weeks ago.

Yes you’re right. I spoke on a subject I had no business speaking on. My apologies sir. Egg doesn’t go with crow by the way. Lol

Not the first time either. I stayed away from FSX and was happy as a lark with FS9. When I finally upgraded my old pc (I don’t buy new pcs every couple years lol) I got FSX finally. Here though, I was more harsh with my unfounded criticisms. Guess I just need a beer. Lol

I bought a brand new gaming rig (specs in my sig) and decided, why not try this out through Microsoft Gamepass for a $1. I went in not expecting much except pretty scenery, and after coming into this forum a few times and talking sh*t, I must now apologize... Game is a helluva upgrade from my previous FSX! It's only the standard edition but I have a taste and I know my rig can easily handle it. I've never flown an Airbus in any prior sim so the fact there's a checklist and I could also give control to the AI Pilot and sit back and watch the view, is something I never thought I needed until now. No, I haven't tried a full flight with ILS just yet, as I'm still getting accustomed to the controls. This is definitely different than FSX for sure. And for those asking why I didn't just get XP11 or P3D, I'm not much into the realism and difficulty of flying a real aircraft. I like (always have) jumping in and going, rather than going thru pages and pages of manuals just to start an engine (cough PMDG cough lol). Simply put, I thought my FSX with Megascenery was "on par" with this, scenery wise; they're not even on the same golf course! I only wish MSFS included at least the 737-800 though. I'll miss my addons I had in X, like the QW 757, GSX, etc., but "out of the box" MSFS is pretty great on its own. That's all I wanted to say for now. Again, I talked crap based only on other user's opinions/complaints, not my own. And for that I am sorry. Now, pass the ketchup for my crow! Peace out.

I have no desire to fly for real. It was never about realism for me, just a side hobby and “something to do.” Most I gain is watching movies; I can see the pilots doing things in cockpits I’m familiar with. In real life, I’m no longer a “white knuckle” airline passenger. But still, photoreal scenery in FSX and I guess MSFS (I don’t have the latter) is pretty cool to fly over my house and such.

I’ve heard they ban anyone who posts anything even remotely negative about their precious products..

That just happened to me in FSX. From Salt Lake City to Reno. ATC left me at 4,000 ft and I was heading straight for a mountain. I did what you did, but unfortunately I lost my IFR. Had to land manually. In a blinding snowstorm, I might add…

I’ve had issues with this program before. Granted it was the beta at the time, but, when I clicked on the desktop icon, nothing happened. It was like, dead. So I got a refund. But various forums I’ve read shows this program as a whole is riddled with issues. I’m staying away for now.

That’s my forte; I’m a smartass at times. I thought it was funny but ok, point taken.

I have a new gaming rig on order: 32 gb Ram, all the bells and whistles including W10. Once I get it and it’s up and running, that signature will change. I’ve been told it’ll be more than enough to run MSFS. Maybe I’ll give the pass a look-see. I’ll definitely miss flying the 737 though. (I’m not ready to purchase an add on just yet)

I may but not anytime soon. I’m still enjoying FSX. Years ago I bought photoreal scenery on a hard drive (the guy who made it now works for Megascenery Earth and this product is no longer available) and that enhanced my flying experience. Yes, I, too can buzz my house, albeit it’s all flat terrain, unlike MSFS. I’ll end it with this: some screens and videos I’ve seen of MSFS make it look incredible. But then I read about numerous updates fudging up the works and I get timid. Last thing I want to do is spend my time resetting everything after an update, or worse, posting here about something that’s gone awry. I bid good day to you, and happy new year.

"But you got to do it right, ya know. You have to have the hole already dug. Otherwise, you're talking another 45 minutes to an hour to dig one, and who knows who'll come around in that time.." ~Casino quote. By the way, having lived here in Vegas since 1997, them opening the Mob Museum was a fantastic idea!

Is this the default panel as well? Reason I ask, is because the more detailed Virtual Cockpit that was made by Rojas, has this issue.

Just reading threads here I’m seeing all kinds of issues folks are having. Not to mention, seemingly after getting it set up perfectly, along comes another update that resets settings and fudges other things up.

*sigh Even with a new “monster pc” I have on order, I’m staying away from MSFS. Sounds like more trouble than it’s worth. What a shame.

They have waterproof PCs now?

Purists would argue it’s called “flight sim”, not “passenger sim”. They’re right, to a point. I could board a real plane as a passenger, but I’m no airline pilot. But in the sim, I am one.

That's a tough one. You'd have to find a plane with those views installed. Short of payware, I'm not sure one exists. I recall one for the old FS 2004, it was a 777 with a full cabin interior, including reclining first class seats, but it wasn't compatible with FSX. I currently have an old MD-80 (not the Maddog version, but the Just Flight one) that has a full cabin view. I can sit anywhere and even the seat belt sign turns on and off, but obviously that's not for long haul flights, lol.

If it ain’t broke, we’ll change that. Lol

Microsoft Update Simulator.

That’s easy, they didn’t want to encourage the conspiracy theory of “chemtrails to poison us”. Lmao
