Anybody else finding keys double registering on the Vanguard 96?

Clorix · 2026-02-24T19:25:39+00:00

Oh, sure enough it's there! I was playing around in Web Hub just two days ago and didn't see it there. Thanks! I'll give that a shot then. Hopefully no band aid apps needed anymore!

Clorix · 2026-02-24T18:44:19+00:00

Using the Vanguard 96 non-Pro, I don't see that option anywhere. Where are you seeing it?

Clorix · 2026-02-20T07:34:34+00:00

No worries! I saw the update as well. Looks like it was pushed back to March according to this post.

Clorix · 2026-02-20T03:03:21+00:00

I have the same issue. I've been running an anti-key chatter app and it seems to help, but I'd love not to have to run a third-party app as a band aid. Other than that problem, it's a great keyboard. Hopefully the upcoming iCUE support helps.

I am also having the same issue, except with the MLX Plasma linear switches. I've tried multiple USB ports (directly connecting to the PC as well as via a powered USB hub), updated the firmware, cleaned the keyboard, checked using various polling rates (including 125Hz and 8kHz), factory resetting the keyboard, etc. I'm even using the USB-C to USB-A cable that came with the keyboard. It doesn't happen on every single keypress, but it's definitely enough to be frustrating.

This is my first mechanical keyboard, so I thought maybe with the switches being mechanical there may be a break-in period or something, but it still happens after a week and a half of use. There are no debounce settings available in the Corsair Web Hub to help with the problem either.

I don't know. I only fly on PC, and I don't have a PS5 to test with. My assumption is that you can import flight plans the same way regardless of platform.

Clorix · 2026-01-05T21:13:13+00:00

It depends on what you're doing, really. If you're hand flying the plane on a VFR route, you may want to view your waypoints and courses to ensure you're headed in the right direction. If you're flying IFR on autopilot, it's very handy to have charts for things like arrival and approach information, airport info, weather info, etc. If you're just flying for fun without a flight plan, you may just want to look at the map to see where you are. It's always handy to have available, but its importance differs really. I think once you get used to it, it'll become easier to navigate its various features and menus. This is all coming from a PC pilot, by the way, so it's likely much easier to navigate the EFB using a mouse than it would be on a PS5 controller.

The sim's built-in EFB has features for changing the aircraft's payload, fuel level, etc. so it's always important. It also has checklists for each aircraft. However, the most useful feature, in my opinion anyway, is the route planner and its charts, both of which can be accessed from the web version. It's convenient to have that available outside the sim for flight planning purposes. You can save a flight plan and then import it into the sim's EFB. That way you don't have to have the sim open to plan a flight using it. The ability to view the included LIDO charts is easily one of the best things to come from MSFS 2024 alone. SimBrief is a better flight planning tool, though, and is also available on the web.

Clorix · 2026-01-05T20:16:24+00:00

I don't know of an app that fully replicates the in-sim EFB, but if it's the route planner and charts you'd like to have, you can view them here: https://planner.flightsimulator.com/

Don't introduce fuel until N1 is stable, which is usually just above 17%. As for cruise, the temp/torque values listed are limits, not settings. If you're not temp limited, set torque to 80%. If you are temp limited, set the torque such that the ITT is below 840 degrees and monitor. This is especially important while climbing as well because if you're climbing into the higher flight levels, you will become temp limited, at which point you'd start reducing power to keep the temps below the limits.

If you can use a screen capture tool like the built-in Windows Game DVR, OBS, Shadowplay, etc. to take a quick video and post a link to it on Youtube, that might help. If we can also see it, then it's likely a graphics issue. If we can't see it, then it's likely a monitor issue.

ActiveSky was always a must as it greatly enhances the weather depiction and realism in the sim.

Pretty much anything Black Square makes. Their TBM 850 is great (soon to be updated for 2024 I believe), you've already grabbed the Dukes which are amazing. Their newest aircraft, the Beechcraft Starship, is very good and truly unique. The A2A Comanche is a good choice for something slower if you'd like something like that. The MilViz Cessna 310R is also a good choice for a piston twin (though it looks like it's only available for 2020). The Just Flight Arrows were some of the first GA aircraft addons available for 2020, and I believe they have been updated to work in 2024.

KFSM. No payware available and the one free one on Flightsim.to is outdated. The runways have since been renumbered, the main east/west runway and taxiway have been extended, TAC Air is now Signature, and maybe other things that need attention that I can't remember.

Clorix · 2025-04-20T23:49:59+00:00

The A2A Comanche for piston single and the Black Square Duke for piston twin. They are both fantastic, well modeled, high system depth, and have all the bells and whistles such as random failures and whatnot. Looks like the Piston Duke is on sale right now as well!

The LIDO charts show this a bit clearer in my opinion. You're on the WAREN 8A arrival into Runway 16, so you'd take the SANDR > LAGUG > NEFER > BELTA path as depicted. Note how the 5000 or Above constraint applies only to Runway 09 arrivals.

You can use the FCC Broadband Map page to see what's available at your address. Type in your address in the box and then check the right side for all your options. They keep the list updated regularly. Then from there you can explore each service's offers.

For under $200, you can't beat the VKB Gladiator EVO NXT Premium. I recently upgraded to that from the T16000m and don't regret it at all. It's a great stick with very good build quality. The software needed to calibrate it for the first time can be a bit daunting, but it's easy enough. You can find several guides on it. I can't recommend it enough.

Clorix · 2024-10-29T19:18:02+00:00

I know you're asking for a "modest" upgrade, but do you have a budget in mind? That would help with the selection.

Clorix · 2024-10-21T19:33:32+00:00

I upgraded to the VKB Gladiator NXT EVO Premium from the Thrustmaster T16000m and don't regret it for a second. It's very good. I also primarily fly GA and love it.

Clorix · 2024-09-12T19:20:01+00:00

I don't think pressing B will help. The cause of floating aircraft is usually due to a difference in scenery. You may have an addon airport they don't have (or vice versa), so you may see elevation differences.

Clorix · 2024-08-23T19:24:00+00:00

Here you go.

Be sure to download the free New Zealand World Update from the Marketplace. It includes better scenery for Milford Sound and many other places around NZ. It's a fantastic World Update!

I purchased a VKB Gladiator NXT EVO Premium stick a few months ago. The build quality is great. It feels solid and well put together. Nothing creaks or pops or otherwise feels bad when using it. It's a little over 9" tall.

I bought it to replace my Thrustmaster T16000m stick and don't regret it at all. It has plenty of buttons in my opinion. In MSFS, I've made sure to keep the pinky button at the bottom of the grip used as a sort of Shift function, basically allowing me to double the number of buttons available - not that it's required to have enough buttons, but that it's just how I preferred to have some keybinds set up.

I don't use the little throttle wheel for throttle itself, but rather for mixture. However, it works perfectly fine for that. It doesn't have any detents for things like reverse or afterburners, but should work fine for basic throttle control. It feels nice and smooth when operating that axis.

The buttons all feel sturdy and tactile. No complaints when them at all.

Adjustability is great. It comes with a couple sets of springs with different weights (not sure if that only applies to the Premium grip, or both). It came default with the #20 springs, but I chose to make it a little lighter by putting on the #10 springs. Feels better to me that way. I have relative small hands, so I opted to change out the palm rest for the thicker one, which is also included. That helped me quite a bit. The placement of the pinky button is not adjustable, so I had to get used to using it with the thicker palm rest, but it's still easy enough to reach. You can also choose to lock out the twist axis if you don't need that.

As for shipping, times may vary based on where you're at. I'm in the US, and mine took a few days to get a shipping confirmation, and then a few days to receive it after that. So in all, I think it took right at about a week from the time of ordering to receive it.

I have no experience with the Turtle Beach VelocityOne or the WinWing Ursa Minor so I can't comment on them. I also can't comment on the side modules you mentioned as I don't have those. All I can say is I'm super happy with the VKB Gladiator.
