    Flying over the Antarctic in what appeared at first to be pleasant conditions....closed in very quickly but managed to land and tuck her into the hangar. Weather is very well done...

    I should say that the scenery in this piccie is an add on, not standard scenery...it is a particular section around an Antarctic base

    I don't know about VR....that may take some reading up. It didn't support TrackIR to start with.... 🙄

    Standard is....standard. Deluxe gives you 5 more aircraft and 5 more airports, Premium gives you 10 extra planes and 10 extra airports. Price might be a consideration as it is £50 difference between standard and premium. If you have Xbox game pass Standard is free.

    I bought from their store but it can be got through the XBox store too.

    These are my current mods. JSGME works a treat. I installed it in 'Local Disk (C:)\Users\......\Appdata\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe'. It makes it's 'MODS' folder in there.

    The path I use for a mod I install is eg. 'AeromacchiMB339\LocalCache\Packages\Community\indiafoxtecho-mb339' This puts it into the 'Community' folder where mods are placed. I like JSGME rather than direct install.

    The mod folder content should look like the piccie attached and contain things like 'ContentInfo', Effects, Fonts' etc.

    That's exactly what you get from it, an opportunity to bimble around admiring the view as well as testing your landings...loads to do.

    Tip 1 - get it.

    Tip 2 - it's quite intuitive to set up the controls after a bit of head scratching.

    Tip 3 - To just bimble around you don't need many controls at all, just basics eg. flight controls, flaps, gear, trim, external view, internal view, cockpit view upper (basically changes the seat height), zoom, brakes and parking brake, refuel/repair. I use engine management but so far all is well with just mixture and prop control (rpm). For the float planes use the water rudder.

    Tip 5 - Trackir works fine

    Tip 6 - I use realistic settings

    Tip 7 - there are loads of addons, paid or free ....be choosy I suppose otherwise it could get unnecessarily expensive. The in game marketplace is a great place to browse.....

    Have fun BB!
