I use Coretemp to monitor my CPU cores and Afterburner for my GPU temp. Both show the temps on the taskbar.

Can't remember for sure, but I believe it is either the C or the H key on the keyboard

Set the Altimeter to the QFE

I'm having a lot of fun flying the Whittaker MW6 on flightsim.to. It's great for low and slow flight and a super docile model to fly.

Nice Airport. Did a flight there yesterday and down to Mont St Michel and across to some new St Malo and Dinard photo scenery I had just installed. There are some really nice sceneries covering France, well worth downloading and making a visit

Mark at Simhanger has a good video on youtube which you can search for. He goes over view settings in pretty good detail.

Suggest that if you haven't already done so, update chipset drivers and maybe video driver as well.

What we do is run LNM and MSFS and use Alt+tab. You have to set MSFS to continue running in the background in the sim settings and atl+tab to bring up LNM on top. I size the LNM window to about a quarter of the screen personally, but you can size it however you wish.

I've flown C172s and C152s in the RW and none of them have had rudder trims. The sim aircraft are very realistic.

Nice find, I have bookmarked this to try some of those approaches too.

I didn't know that a C172 was ever produced with retractable gear so looked it up: Cessna introduced a retractable landing gear version of the 172 in 1980 and named it the Cutlass 172RG. The Cutlass featured a variable-pitch, constant-speed propeller and a more powerful Lycoming O-360-F1A6 engine of 180 horsepower (130 kW). You learn something new every day. I've never seen one though either in the RW or in a flight simulator so far as I can remember. Sounds like it would be a nice addition though.

I assume fuel is switched on - easy to forget that one :)

Could be a bad internet connection or the servers down. Suggest you remove everything from your community folder then try again. When this happened to me it was an addon not playing well, which I isolated and deleted. Edit - just checked mine and msfs is saying no internet connection, though my connection at 46 mbs is actually running fine, so may be an isue at their end.

My Kogitech Attack3 stick wouldn't play well with MSFS, so I got the Airbus one. It worked great out of the box and the only adjustment I made was to reduce the rudder sensitivity a little.

I have to say that his Ultra version is excellent and does not affect my performance at all considering the detail included. Anyone who flies to or from Gatwick should really have this one.

Excellent. Thanks Keith. Just about to try it now.

That's strange, I have no problems trimming mine. Double check your switch settings.

Any time around mid day is good, but I think the sim actually looks better earlier in the morning or later in the day as the shadows add more realism. Depends what you are doing and how you like it, I suppose.

Thanks Keith. Another lovely pier. Installed it earlier and had a flight around the island this evening. Shame I forgot to put Ryde pier back, but I've done so now. What piers are on your list of to do piers now or are you keeping it under wraps? Burnham on sea is one I would like to have. Thanks again for all your efforts. I hope that the rest of the community is enjoying them as much as I am.

Nothing micro about my stutters since SU5. Darned great pauses.

This will brighten up the otherwise dull coast south of Blackpool. Thanks Keith. Which ones are you planning to do next?

ASOBO have been gradually adding watermasking to a few more areas as time goes on. The sim is now beginning to look like the trailers in more and more places. It's a manual task that takes some time as I can tell yo from the experience of creating photoscenery of the Channel Islands for FSX. The watermasking around each of the tiny islands took me hours to do properly, though you can rush it if you want to but it won't look great.

When I first got MSFS. one of the first things I found was the community folder and created a shortcut to it. That shortcut goes into a folder where I store all my flightsim info, notes. little navmap, shortcuts to other msfs folders, cfg files. etc. That way, I never have ot go hunting for anything ever again. I also keep a folder on the same drive that msfs is installed to which contains all of the addon scenery I am not currently using in individual country folders. That way, If I want to fly in Austria, then I put all my UK addons into a dump folder and move the contents of my Austria folder into the community folder (some prefer to use an addons manager for this, but I like to maintain control of my own file structures).

The framerate counter is a bit too bold for me, but does the job. FRAPS does more than that though, you can record videos and take pictures with it by setting up hotkeys. I used to use it a lot in FSX but haven't done a lot with in in MSFS so far as I have been too busy with other things.

+1 for Little Navmap
