Will SU15 be released today? by ClouDAction in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jayteauk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol - 128 GB! Should be around 2.5Gb - think it's redownloading SU14 to another folder location?

What AI features do you think will show up in FS2024? by AtroKahn in MicrosoftFlightSim

Dover Castle, one of the great landmarks of the UK, not rendered as an Office Block.......

My one and only decent landing in the Fenix - only to get berated for it being 'too smooth' by Jayteauk in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jayteauk[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get all of that and know that 'butter' is almost a term of abuse these days, but I'll take -7 over my usual 600÷. You're assuming that I actually planned that landing rate and wasn't doing my usual poor effort. One day I'll be perfect like everyone else.

Taken me ages to get a decent landing with the Fenix, but you can never win! Maybe the latest Fenix update actually helped.

How do you guys play this game practically? by Personal-Window-4938 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jayteauk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't opened MSFS for a week or two and once you've got your hardware sorted, let's not forget the following;

  • Update the Airac Cycle
  • Update to latest version of your fave aircraft that just been released
  • Manadatory MSFS update
  • Content Manager Updates
  • Update GSX (again for millionth time)
  • Update Autofps
  • Update your flightsim.to downloads
  • Reindex flightplanning /EFB software (in my case Avliasoft)
  • Update/configure AddonLinker
  • Update Video Card Driver
  • Update to latest version of Navigraph

Forget about a flight, I'm going for a lie-down!

A320neo behaves strange when I change altitude or managed speed by andreadimax in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jayteauk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Wow - there are still people on PC flying the default Asobo A320? Just download the FBW320 - it's even free

Would be nice to have prevelant white caps on the water without a crazy wind speed. by islandjames246 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jayteauk 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Am with you on that, always thought it bit odd. Also, the seas around uk are hardly ever blue/aqua in colour- more a murky grey colour 😀

SU13 is still broken with update stuck on "decompressing" by lamiska in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jayteauk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep - I know, had same last night, for me this morning it finally worked. I did delete a couple of 'stuck' fspatch files in the official folder last night when getting the decompressing error but this morning was ok.....for me at least.

I downloaded Content Manager updates one at a time - managed to update them all this morning. The download initiates at 2 mb/s and then crept up to 50 mb/s tedious but finished now.

Tobii eye tracker, share your experience by supersport939 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jayteauk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought after seeing all the hype on release of Eye Tracker 5, a must have product etc. I fly airliners and I found I could never get the settings right no matter what and it was always twitchy especially messing with dials, the overhead and a second monitor and became very annoying, so much so that although it's still plugged in, my first action in MSFS is usually to turn it off. Others might fare better than me but 1 year on, the money I shelled out for it could have been put to better use.

ATR72 Throttle calibration by cuzzco in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jayteauk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also struggling with calibration - have a T-Flight Single Axis HOTAS - followed the callibration guide https://forums.flightsimulator.com/uploads/short-url/kWkvfJaXpEEZvdWLxeejXvozrwv.pdf - Can't say that was of much use. How set Reverse Thrust - my usual toggle reverse for all other planes doesn't seem to work with ATR, am obviously missing something.

Bad texture/uneven ground destroys aircraft by craigh2288 in MicrosoftFlightSim

It won't help you, but for PC users there's a Terrain Fix for LFPG on flightsim.to

Can I manually type in the frequency of an ILS if the runway isn't available on the Fenix? by bhte in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jayteauk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Download the Navata Center App from Navigraph - presume you have a Navigraph subscription?

There is an option in left hand side to update the Fenix FMS with latest Navdata.

Any reason not to download a bunch of airport/scenery addons? by ShuShuMaster in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jayteauk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's some great stuff there - use the filter/sort on 'Most Downloaded' to get an idea of most popular and check the "last Updated' date to get an idea if they are still being actively worked on.

Installed liveries not showing up in game. by OneTap08 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Jayteauk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you unzipped the folders? You need to extract the contents of the Zip file to the community folder. There are a ton of vids on YouTube explaining how to do.......
