I noticed trees are a big issue with MSFS

This plagued FSX as well. It usually was from developers placing geographically correct airports on existing scenery where the trees did not belong in the first place.

Take a look at the MSFS Screen Shot Forum and judge for yourself...

https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/forumdisplay.php?9-MSFS-Screen-Shot-Forum

You will need a decent computer (my computer is 8 years old and runs it fine) and a fast internet connection since MSFS is on-line only rather then off-line like MS 2004

... It’ll get me by until more advance traffic programs hit the market.

You shouldn't have to wait too long. JustFlight FS Traffic is suppose to be release in the first quarter...

I think my Check Engine light came on about the same time when MSFS was released.

This guy did a review and delete of this model...

I'll just wait for the Digital Flight Dynamics a350 sigh

FSX was like working on a old car (points, condenser... no problem!) I could alias any panel to any plane and fix about any issue I had.

MSFS is like a modern car that only a certified, qualified mechanic $$$ can work on :)

mrzippy found a A350 for MSFS...

https://www.msfsaddon.com/2021/02/msfs2020-airbus-a350-xwb-freeware.html

It has a great exterior model, but a few interior issues with SU8.

Glass is a green checkerboard, HUD pulldown is pink checkerboard.

Also, the creator decided to go with the b787 VC with a yoke, why not the a320 VC with a proper sidestick?

When I throttled up, both engines died???

Has anybody modded the exterior model to use the a320 VC and corrected the other mentioned issues?

EDIT: Also, found a work in progress from Digital Flight Dynamics that is supposed to be freeware, but not released yet.

When you posted this in the MSFS Forum, it got hijacked as such, sorry :)

Back to FS2004 from here on...

Since FS9 did not include any Airbus that you could alias to, you could just find one and use it with the TDS

THANKS Charlie! I checked TDS but didn't find this one.

 

Will give it a spin (metaphorically of course) ;)

Too many issues!

Interior view - Glass is green checkerboard, HUD pulldown glass is pink checkerboard. A Boeing cockpit (with yoke) in an Airbus. Should have just used the a320 cockpit with a proper sidestick. Several airlines I never heard of. Too bad, exterior model looks great.

THANKS Charlie! I checked TDS but didn't find this one.

Will give it a spin (metaphorically of course) ;)

I have an Xbox 360 controller and the vibration motors run @ 100% when flying this plane.

How do I disable or turn down the effect for this plane only?

EDIT: Version 0.9.9

A little confused by "...moving the folders to the community/packages"

The Community folder is the root folder for add-ons. There is no Community/Packages folder. I have the Microsoft version. Maybe Steam is different?

Also be sure when you say the FlyTampa Las Vegas scenery is active that the AI settings are the Aerosoft recommended settings for Simple Traffic.

EDIT: there is a shortcut in my Community folder for Simple Traffic...

aerosoft-tool-simple-traffic

You should have a similar indication in the Community folder for FlyTampa if you bought directly from them or possibly a folder in the Official folder if you bought it from the Marketplace.

Over 40,000 views and no response LOL

Anyways, I just made my own. "Borrowed" the artwork ftom various sites. Resized it (2.25" for six bolt pattern and 1.5" for 3 bolt pattern), printed on my color laser. Then took down to a local button maker.

Button maker had adhesive magnetic disks that I put on the wheels. Then just swap a metal emblem on the magnet.

On a DimSim F320H...

I agree 100%, should have been named Las Vegas (What were they thinking?).

Have runways been updated 25L/R > 26L/R etc?

How do you like it being a Las Vegas resident?

I was holding off until ORBX offered it (they are partnered with them on other airports) and also they still have not updated McCarran International to Harry Reid International.

AHHH! Finally took the red pill did'ja? :) Now just need for mrzippy to get his new machine and do the same.

Get the Premium Deluxe though, kinda like taking two red pills! :pilot:

ORBX? Bad example, mrzippy

Those guys are very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Believe me, I've asked a bunch of stupid questions and never been banned ;)

Are any of the default MSFS aircraft painted from real world aircraft? If so (or a close match) have you found the real registration numbers? Maybe a link to the list.

If they are fictious, can you maybe suggest one for each livery.

LOL! I'm from a coal mining family, so data mining comes naturally - I usually do a search on the flightsimulator.com forums to refresh my memory or learn something new, having just turned 60 the 'senior moments' are becoming more frequent!

I'm also 60... 61 next month. Where does the time go?

Good day,

 

I have a question here that might be off the track. I have the tail numbers changed ane the Sim ATC uses the number that I have entered as my ID.

 

Question is why are you in the aircraft config at all. I changed mine in the sim and it sticks for that aircraft and livery.

 

Here are the steps that I take:

1) In the world map click on the aircraft top left corner

2) Click liveries (if necessary to select the one you want)

3) Select desired livery (if necessary)

4) Click Customization

5) Change Tail number, Call sign as desired (I leave the flight number blank)

6) Append heavy as desired

7) Show tail number to on.

8) Click close (lower left)

 

That is all there is to it from my perspective. Every time I use that aircraft and livery the info entered here is used. It is retained in the sim. Do this for each of the aircraft you use regularly.

 

Worth a try if you haven't already.

I'm aware of this procedure also. Sometimes I like to edit stuff while at the desktop. Would you happen to know if this directly edits the aircraft.cfg's or is this a user setup file and where it is?
