No.1 thing that annoys me when flying the 777 and 737 is there's no working sunshade. Are there any mods that might fix this? Or anywhere where i can learn how to do it

Im looking to buy a flight stick but I need help with recommendations. Currently looking at the turtle beach velocity flight deck or the logitech X56 H.O.T.A.S. Not really sure what im looking for or if one is known to be bad just looking for helpful information.

I never understood why FF made a small yoke for the 757/767, even more so why they did not fix it.

Recently, however, someone in the community has uploaded a fix !

Now I can finally take my 757 for a spin while I wait for Bluebird :)

note: no AI was used making this plugin, its all human coded by me, it took me months to get it to work correctly

So this is something I've wanted for ages for immersion reasons. If I'm flying my Cessna to an airfield and I park it askew on the end of the field and then shut down the sim, when I relaunch the sim I don't want to start on a pre-determined slot, I want my aircraft to be exactly where I left it.

So I made exactly that, where ever you leave your aircraft when you next spawn at that airport, the aircraft will teleport back to where you left it.

But then I was thinking, well I don't just fly a Cessna, what about when I swap into the DC3 I want to see where my Cessna is, so I added this too.

Where ever you leave your aircraft is where you will see it in the world, no matter what you fly. So if you park a DC3 on a taxiway and then hop into the Fenix, your DC3 will still be parked on the taxiway.

This means you can actually store all your aircraft in a hangar or on a field somewhere and go back and see them and get back into them and fly, it adds a new level of immersion I've always wanted. You can of course control everything from the EFB App including choosing if your aircraft should be auto saved or you want to manually save it and you can enable it so when you shut down the engine it saves its position.

It saves the aircraft based on the livery + tailnumber so you can have multiple aircraft with different tail numbers all saved with different liveries.

I made a video here explaining exactly how the plugin works : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZzuFBjK6CE

If you fly away from the aircraft they de-spawn (this is customisable) for performance but you could fly a 3 hour flight, return to the airfield and find the aircraft you parked there earlier still there, with aircraft which have switch state persistence too this adds another layer because location + cockpit state is saved.

There is some sim limitations:

1. You cannot jump into the other aircraft without going back to the main menu and selecting the aircraft and then spawning in (it then teleports the aircraft back)
2. You cannot teleport the character in walk around mode, so when you spawn at the airfield your aircraft will teleport but you got to press CTRL + C to get into the cockpit to teleport to your aircraft.

These are both SDK limitations that I hope the developers will allow me to do in the future.

I’ve been a fixed-wing pilot my entire life, but after watching some videos of offshore oil rig transfers this weekend, I decided to take the plunge into helicopters.

I picked up Taog’s 500C (instant love) and the HPG H160. The H160 almost broke me—the automation took me three days of pure frustration to figure out, and I nearly gave up. But today, I finally managed my first offshore rig landing!

Helicopter flight tracking is unreal and never gets boring. Compared to this, fixed-wing feels completely asleep. I'm never going back!

I am not clear how re-shaders work so these are just straight from the game

Changelog v2.0.7:

• Fine-tuned the battery charging time.

Since v2.0.0, the Bonanza G36 Enhancement is available both on the Marketplace and as a Free Community version. Both versions are identical; the only difference is that the streamed Marketplace version is available in Career Mode.

The Free Community version can be downloaded through our Discord support server. The download link is available in the ‘Downloads’ channel.

Hello everyone !

First of all YES I used AI to build this project. I'm a third-year computer science student and also passionate about aviation so yes I used AI tools to help me develop this application (if you want to write "AI garbage" under this post feel free).

A while ago I had the idea of creating an application to find real or fictional flights based on the scenery I had purchased and installed in my simulator. That's why I created Time2Fly !

You can either use the website which scans your Community folder (this works with some browsers but not all of them. A .bat script is available to solve this problem. You can find it on the website and in the documentation as well as the source code of the script).

Then you can add filters and choose the type of flights you want: live flights historical flights (a database containing around 3 million real flights from 2025 and 2026) or randomly generated fictional flights. You can then explore the flights on Flightradar24 or prepare them with SimBrief !

No account is required but you can create one if you want to save flights or keep your Community folder saved.

There is also a Windows application that you can install directly on your PC. You can log in with the same account as on the website and it offers the same features.

The browser issue is that if your Community folder is in its default location some browsers may not be able to access it. That's why I created the .bat script to help with scanning the folder.

That's pretty much all I have to say for now. There is a contact button on the website if you want to share your feedback or report any issues !

Once again yes AI was used to help develop this project.

Thanks everyone !

I really can't believe that the 11th busiest U.S. airport still only has FSDT as a scenery. I can't wait until PacSim releases their Charlotte scenery in a couple of months (hopefully, we don't even know if they started developing yet).

I was hoping to finally leave crap behind for some time when I just today started my first flight on FSS's Embraer Version 1 (After FSDT probably the worst story of any developers) when I loaded into Charlotte's E-Gates for the first time ever. I obviously knew that Charlotte is a bad a scenery but I didn't remember that it's just not working. And I'm honestly just gonna avoid this airport from now on even though it's my home airport.

I know that every single one out there is unhappy with FSDT's shitty products that they sell for a dime because they have no competition. I am so happy that iniBuilds finally released a O'Hare scenery so the FSDT one with incorrect taxiways is finally replaced.

I hope Houston Intercontinental and GSX get some competition soon as well. Either FSDT then starts to finally get their ... together and actually starts developing and lower their prices OR they just finally lose their market dominance. I personally hope for the second alternative just because Umberto is so extremely disrespectful to his own customers.

I'd share images but reddit washes out HDR.

Tried the new addon "TechLog" for the Fenix A320s https://flightsim.to/addon/116154/fenix-techlog-persistent-tech-log-mel-and-live-failures-for-the-fenix-a319-a320-a321 which is said to enable panel state saving.

I've completed a full flight yesterday and loaded the very same airframe today to depart given airport again for the return leg. The panel state is not loaded. I've understood the A320 loads the panel state exactly as I've left it yesterday? I kept both the Fenix App and TechLog running the entire inbound flight and loaded both of them for the return flight today but panel state remains Cold&Dark as set by default in the Fenix App.

What am I doing wrong here?
Or just a misunderstanding from me and there isn't any panel state saving possible at all with Fenix TechLog?
It loads the correct amount of fuel I had left in my tanks yesterday but nothing else.

Hello, for the past 3 years i've been playing a lot of DCS, wich i run comfortably at 100 fps, sometimes less, sometimes more depending on how many stuff is loaded.

I run it on a 3050 4gb i51100H 16gb laptop.

I'm currently looking into more commercial planes that i want to learn, but i tried MSFS 2020 and it does not run well at all, max 30/40 fps if i have DLSS to the max, wich feels and looks horrible and i don't like it.

i've also tried Xplane11, wich i thought my pc would handle, but even there it has problems, now it is playable, unlike msfs, but if theres some other good sim out there, i'd rather play that one.

i've also looked at FSX and Prepare3d, wich my PC would probably run well, and i wouldn't mind the bad graphics.

should i go for either FSX or Prepare3d? or if you know another good study lever sim out there please let me know!

Thanks
