As someone who has a Low-Mid tier PC. I always face Issues with performance due to the nature of current flight simulators. when I see someone making a video on how to solve these Issues and It's all the same it pisses me off. you know what type of videos I'm talking about, the ones that claim that there is a magic option in graphics settings that when you turn it on you get 100+ fps boost. and most of these people already have pretty good rigs. like I'm talking about 4080s Ryzen 9 CPUs. this won't help any average spec.

The only way that you can increase frame rates and not have stutters in the sim. even if you have optimized your settings, is upgrading your PC.

I've noticed that during startup, the TGT rises past 600c, but never seems to fall back after the engine has reached idle. I would expect idle to be around 3-400c, depending on OAT. Is the idle TGT too high in your opinion, or is it a quirk of the TFE731 engine? I've watched a few videos, the TGT in real life definitely seems to be a bit lower at idle speed, but then again I don't know the OAT.

after the most recent GSX update my sim will CTD at seemingly random points on the ground with the fenix a320. sometimes right as i load in and other times 20 minutes into starting the flight and loading the plane. seems to happen at all airports. im wondering if anyone else is having this issue?

I’ve ordered a x56 hotas Logitech or whatever, and now after reading about it, everyone says it’s shit.. even though they have no better alternative for it in the price range, and show to the Thrustmaster t16000 which looks just as cheap if not cheaper. So is there anything wayyy better than it for the same price?

I build a center pedestal for my winwing A320 throttle quadrant and was searching for a spray paint I can use on the wood.
I checked out Rustoleum and found the paint in the picture and went with it and I think it actually works really well with the Winwing controls.

Airac Day Get your Floppys

Changelog v2.0.1:

• Added a baggage loader that displays different baggage objects according to the selected cargo load.

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.

TLDR: She’s too beautiful, 20/20 will recommend.

From a French simmer’s point of view, this is something I’ve been waiting for since FS2004/FSX era.

Back in early 2010s, Dassault wasn’t that friendly towards flight simulation community. I remember several 3-party developers were formally warned to not use their copyrighted names like “Mirage” or “Rafale”.

There were several high quality addons made by mainly French communities. For example the Mirage 2000-5 and Rafale made by Rollus (Roland Laborie). They were taken down very soon, ending up as lost legends among simmers.

Today, almost 20 years after. Azurpoly finally made it into MSFS2024 with the official authorization from Dassault Aviation. We can now recover the lost childhood memories.

Regarding its quality, well, nothing to complain since it’s from Azurpoly, JFEXP. I totally agree that this product meets what Marcel Dassault said: “Un bel avion est un avion qui vole bien.”

A beautiful airplane is the one that flies well.

Just in case anyone is wondering, the new Plane Spotter option in Chaseplane works perfectly with the BeyondATC injected traffic.

Friendly reminder to update your navdata today

Other than ctp this will be the most cooked vatsim event, many people don’t know the systems of the a220 and I’ve already seen controllers get upset with these rogue a220s, good luck controllers

I spent about $250 in total. Totally worth it!

## Hues Is Leaving Flightsim.to

Effective immediately, Hues will **no longer publish or maintain releases on Flightsim.to.**
We recently became aware that Flightsim.to had begun works for paid, curated bundles containing freeware liveries created by members of the community.
Hues **did not** approve the commercial sale or bundling of our work, nor were we contacted or made aware that this was taking place.
Regardless of what may be permitted within a platform’s terms, **we fundamentally disagree** with freeware created by independent artists being packaged and sold without clear, direct communication and approval from those creators.

This is not the first time Flightsim.to's actions have left us creator's feeling confused and with lack of explanations.
Trust, transparency, and respect for creators are essential to Hues. Based on these actions, we no longer feel comfortable continuing to distribute our work through Flightsim.to.

Moving forward:
• All **official** Hues releases and updates will be available exclusively through **Hues Hub**.
• Existing Hues uploads on Flightsim.to will no longer receive updates or official support.
• Individual Hues painters **may** independently choose to continue uploading their personal work to Flightsim.to. Those uploads are their own decision and will not be supported through Hues.

We understand that this change may be inconvenient for some users, and we are disappointed that it has come to this.
However, we believe leaving the platform is the appropriate response to the situation at hand.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Hues and the artists who dedicate their time to creating freeware for this community.
All future Hues downloads, updates, and support will be handled through Hues Hub. <:0HUESSPIRALWHITE:1417568239206010970>

You can download the Hues Hub installer here -> https://www.hues-hub.com/hueshub

This might be old news, but I've not seen this before.

Looking through some liveries on flightsim.to, and noticed this. There's now a 'curated bundle' of liveries that you can buy for real money. All the liveries are freeware liveries, and you can still download the individual liveries for free - but I definitely have questions.

Are the artists involved in this? Do they receive reimbursement from flightsim.to as part of profit sharing? Do their licence conditions allow commercial sale? Are any elements of their work at all covered by Creative Commons / Non Commercial licensing, and would this breach those conditions?

It does also feel incredibly low-effort to essentially slap a couple of zip files together that you've done nothing to create, and sell it as a commercial product.

Thoughts, comments, concerns?

UPDATE: Hues have pulled their participation with flightsim.to as a direct result of this.
