The main difference was that FSX-SE was recompiled. That meant internal address offsets could change. There were code changes but Dovetail were required...

[Kevin Hall]

Yes that was ridiculous. I wonder whether that was Steam's doing or HiFi encouraging customers to buy direct. Caveat emptor.

[Kevin Hall]

That's true, but however you buy MSFS you'll need a new version of Active Sky to work with it, so you'd just buy the appropriate version to match your...

[Kevin Hall]

As I said, it remains to be seen. But as they are releasing on Steam then there will need to be enough flexibility to make it work.

[Kevin Hall]

I never had any problems running either FSX or XP10 on Steam. FSX-SE didn't really need tweaking but access to the cfg files was just as easy as FSX and...

This is a very neurotic hobby. People worrying about possible stutters in a product that isn't released yet and even when it is clearly will not be the...

[Kevin Hall]

Dave, I don't know how you can say most people have moved to v5. No doubt many have, others are waiting to see what happens with MSFS. I'm waiting for...

Note that Robert also said that PMDG couldn't release a 737MAX unless Boeing approve of a desktop version being released. At the moment they don't. Once...

[Kevin Hall]

Maybe he just doesn't have anything he can say at the moment. PMDG have already said as much as they need to regarding regarding products which are slated...

That's why leasing aircraft is a good option for many operators. They dont have to invest in ownership. That‘s only worthwhile if an airline plans to...

My first flight in a 747 was a Qantas 747-238, flying from Heathrow to Melbourne via Mumbai and Perth. Such a shame the era of passenger flights on the...

As Dan said the NGX didn't set ILS frequency as an option. The frequency the FMS navdata expects you to tune will be shown on the APPOACH REF page. If...

[Kevin Hall]

I just tried this. You're right about selecting LNAV. I also forgot to mention you have select the first leg of your flightplan in the NAV page. This...

[Kevin Hall]

Those old installers were confusing. They used to remind you you needed the update. They don't actually check you have it ot not. Just ignore the message...

[Kevin Hall]

I'm not at my sim at the moment but as I recall to get the magenta line you need the EHSI display in Map mode. To follow the guidance you need to select...

[Kevin Hall]

No, the condition levers are next to the power levers (in Feather in your screenshot). Like Mike I use ctrl+F2 for convenience. Three clicks is usually...

[Kevin Hall]

Yes I suffer from the addiction. I felt the urge to click the advance purchase button too.

[Kevin Hall]

Too true Michael. No harm in hoping though. TBH, I mainly use P3D for IFR flights and MSFS won't make such a difference at altitude. I would need some...

[Kevin Hall]

I certainly won't be rushing to buy it. I haven't rushed to buy P3Dv5 either. I've never understood why people buy things so early and then moan that...

[Kevin Hall]

I tried it yesterday. Assisted start and windmilling start worked as expected....
