  1. Nice flight this morning. I am always impressed by the trees in this sim, as in how they seem to be right for the region you are flying in. Not so impressed by the placement sometimes but that is another story.
  2. Dunno, i sort of like JohnnyJohnJohn's comment. The absolute best flight sim is of course the one that suits you. My own internet is a bit inconsistent which rules out multi player games/sims. (No good firing at where the enemy was is it?). Similarly I can expect some glitches in my MSFS flights BUT the quality of that scenery is just superb. My hardware/internet woes does not change that. There is Government sponsored upgrade to internet services supposed to happen in my area in November which I am hoping might make a difference to my flying.
  3. I bought mine on Steam and saved it to my 1TB external SSD drive. It works fine.
  4. My bridges in New York are all solid objects now. With or without the Samscene NY add on. I do hope a fix comes out soon for this.
  5. I liked that reply. The old saying is that you can lead a dog to water but you cannot make it drink. He says he still has his FS98 disk and manual well .... I still have my FS95 CD and I must have tried just about all the flight sims ever and can say that MSFS is the best by far. Even the upcoming (they said it would be released this month) Aerofly FS4 looks insipid besides MSFS and it has far fewer airports and scenery coverage! Add the upcoming A310 November announcement and how can anyone go anywhere else I ask!
  6. That reminded me that I still have the yet virtually unused Dovetail Flight School in my Steam inventory. I bought that and then got FS World for free and then that went belly up so I did not complete a lot of things I should have done. I think some of those planes are in MSFS so it should still be useful.
  7. I flew north from Coffs Harbour in my yellow Zin Savage Cub and saw the Big Banana! How good can this sim get I ask myself. :)
  8. Not exactly sure but I think maybe if you install the XBox game bar on your PC and log into it using your xbox details it might work?
  9. Hi, I think I read in another thread that so many complained about world update 9 (myself included) that Asobo did a patch fix to reduce the number of trees. After flying around Malta to see if the fix worked yesterday I flew around my home airfield in Australia and the trees were nearly all gone there too. After a reboot they came back though. I am not sure if that will be the case for you as it was the Italian scenery they were trying to fix.
  10. Yes I did survive SU9 relatively unscathed and I did fire up my MSFS and it works fine. I went for a flight from YPAD to YPPF in my FK-9 freeware tail dragger and it worked very well. All is good today. :)
  11. I fired up my trusty laptop this morning and it goes into update steam. Then it tells me a Windows update requires a system reboot. After that it tells me that my pin no longer works and I reset it. Then it asks me to continue setting up my Windows preferences and I also get an automatic HP BIOS update is starting. I log onto my browser and even that is being updated. Dare I now fire up MSFS????
  12. I have posted this on steam and Avsim also I doubt too many people would be as dumb as me in trying it but ..... I hope someone has figured out how to do this but the cloud based MSFS game can be played on portable devices so ...... I have a Lenovo Tab11 Yoga tablet with 8gb of ram and a lot of storage so subscribed for $1 to the Xbox game pass. I try to install the game and it says to connect a controller via bluetooth or plug in with a USB. I plugged in my PC joystick and managed to fire up the game and got into the MSFS configuration menu but no further. Has anyone else tried this and how far did you get? I was thinking of a trip to EB Games and maybe buying an Xbox controller to see if that works. After posting the above I fund this on youtube It sort of answered my own question. The exercise would not be worth it for me but it could be an option for those who have a less powerful PC or an XBox with controllers already.
  13. Alice Springs. Looks a bit dry. Wonder what it would be like in summer. :confused:
  14. Just out of interest I was wondering .... I guess things get updated according to the number of complaints/observations that users make about MSFS. Does anyone know how they actually do that. Is there a program that counts the number of posts about this and that and is it automated? Also is it only based on what is said on the official site in the support forums? I know that updates fix things and also can cause other things to stop working. Mostly they benefit us I think.
  15. If you go to Spilsby island which is near Port Lincoln you will see a shack or two on the northern side of the island. A half acre block of land is for sale overlooking the sea for $49,000 AUD ($34,666 USD). With no permanent inhabitants this would be the perfect getaway for the antisocial.
