    I would go for the lowest resolution that works for you, to minimize the drain on CPU and GPU resources. 1080p may be too low: I have a 55" 1080p screen 30" in front of me and I can see the pixels. Mostly I don't notice them, but these old eyes are not what they used to be. Figure out how far away you want to place the monitor, then go to a store with operating displays and check them out at that distance.

    No, but you could sue someone who copied the image and claimed it as their own, especially if they were to make money from it. To the OP: No money, no problem. Just don't add any captions like "This plane is cr#p."

    "Why is there clear bias toward MSFS?" Easy. It's the sim du jour. Several manufacturers have dropped their FSX/P3D lines altogether to respond to the current craze, and most new releases are designed for MSFS. It really comes down to personal preferences. I will probably never move on from my dark-ages P3D because it's a better choice for what I want to get out of a simulator. But that's just me.

    Some years back I found a way to adjust the smoke effects in FSX. It's possible to change the color, thickness, and duration. Unfortunately, I don't remember what I used to do it. With a little digging I found a program called FXEditor here: https://www.scenerydesign.org/development-releases/. It allows you to adjust effects in Flight Sim versions up to P3Dv5, and comes with a (brief) manual. As always, back up your files before tinkering. Have fun!

    To the OP: Brodie: I applaud you for speaking your mind. You're absolutely right but, as I'm sure you know by now, you're wasting your breath. MSFS has become a cult, so reasoned argument is impossible. Stick with something you can FLY.

    Not strictly true for me. I bought it and installed in on Day One, flew over my house, then deleted it and got my money back. I bought it again last November, took the time to set it up for my rig and flew it for maybe fifty hours or so. I'm not deliberately avoiding it, but I notice I haven't gone back to it since January. Clearly I'm stuck in the dark ages with P3D. Oh, well . . .

    It's the A2A Lockheed 049 Constellation. FSX and P3D only at the moment.

    Thanks. Temp was -16C/3F.

    Happy to inspire you! You've got to love this aeroplane. At 36,000 feet, wide open throttle gave me about 36" MP and 370 knots over the ground - light jet speed!

    I'm sorry to hear you're having such problems. In my experience, the A2A support is second to none. Try them here, and they'll be sure to help you out. https://a2asimulations.com/contact/

    If you haven't already, check them out with the CH Control Manager, available at their site.

    Thanks guys. I got lucky and checked the hangar before I did the preflight and saw there was a problem. Even knowing there was something wrong it took me a while to actually spot it!

    Why a preflight inspection is a really good idea if you fly A2A's planes:

    I'm with you on that. It tickles me every time I get in and work the ailerons, I think because it's one of the few airplanes where a control cable is visible in forward view. We did another Misfit Squadron Cub flight the other weekend. I've just moved up to P3D (finally) and discovered that formation flying got much easier. Still trying to figure out why.

    I see that! I never looked at the engine installation on that helicopter before. You really were sitting right on top of it. I assume the driveshaft goes up right between the seats.

    You got that right. There is something very special about sitting behind that roaring radial!
