Hello, would you explain to me where this notepad is. There isnt one in my FSRealtime folder

Notepad is a utility on every Windows computer.

1. No, it is not.

2. You access the systems and FMS in the cockpit of the aircraft you are flying, either on the control panels or from the FMS located in the cockpit.

Can someone tell me how to install the software for this joystick?

No software is needed. Plug the joystick in and turn on your computer. Windows will do the rest.

Engines running?

Support for 98, 2004, and FSX ended years ago. Microsoft doesn't even know what these programs are.

It's based on MSFS 2020.

Zero people have stopped using MS products because they thought MS didn't have enough product servers.

Which is what I said initially.   Even with all the money and technology, for years they've not set up enough servers to handle a sh*tload of people trying to update simultaneously.  Even if a dozen more servers were $200k, that's chump change for MS.

For years it's a problem not worth fixing.

With your normal connection, start the update, go do something else, check back in a few hours. Nothing you do is going to speed up the MS servers or eliminate the hundreds of users also trying to update today.

Internet speeds also depend on the computer/server at the other end of your connection. In this case it's Microsoft servers trying to allow everyone to access the same update.

Its because thousands of US users are all updating at once. Yep, just leave it alone and do something else. And now East Coast and Central time business are all closing for the day.

Tim,

The servers are getting hammered right now for those World Updates. Just keep trying!

No problems with the download or files installing.

Default weather has been disabled. There are third party solutions for that.

Also note that if you have a newer operating system, there are a few extra installation steps. There is a pinned topic all about that at this forum.

No drivers needed. Just plug it in and let Windows set it up.

Use FSXWX.

Very cool video!

Jim,
I have a notification you quoted me but your post is gone. POOF!
Honestly, come join us, we are so happy here and you could be too!
I'd love to have you join the fun!

Put lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig.

Beautiful out of the box scenery, and look at those real world AI planes!

I don't care what you think. You just keep singing those little songs in your head. You know what they say about those people, right?

Mark wants a flight sim!
You don't need to own something to determine it's quality. MSFS was a complete joke on release and probably still is. If not for the graphics, are you telling me people seriously would've bought it? C'mon, you're being silly now. No one would've touched it. I have no idea where it is today but I'm sure really basic things are still totally missing. Are seasons available yet? Is weather available that is not realtime so you can sync flight weather to time of flight? Can you fill major airports with AI like you can in FS9? Throwing some simple things out there.

 

It's lucky I don't own it cause then I could really tell you how much it's lacking.

Oh, just realized, aren't we talking about a redundant sim? Isn't MSFS getting replaced? So much for 10 years out of it! Empty your pockets again and welcome all the new bugs the new version brings! Have fun!
 

You really don't know how foolish you sound right now. Have fun hijacking posts while I go fly a real flightsim.

I know I do not want it, and am happy with Fs2004.  Anything wrong with that?

 

Have I made any erroneous statements?

 

Yes, we should remain on topic, but threads, like conversations, meander all the time.  And opinions should be welcome, whether or not someone disagrees.

"At least new ones aren't being added every week."

Opinions are fine, ignorance is not.

Says someone else who knows very little about MSFS.

Let it be clear that the two above posters tried to stir the pot by bringing MSFS into this thread, not I. But when falsehoods are posted I will be the first to call them out.

(And no continual "updates" to install new bugs.)

No, you're just stuck with all the bugs from 20 years ago that never got addressed.
