I thought I was but no....good luck chaps!

If you're having trouble getting trackir to work; open it and update to the latest drivers. There's a little box up in the top right corner on the main settings page. Did the trick for Pooka and I.

Fantastic! Stick recognised?

Yeah, I'm up for it. Oh course, it means wearing my Oculus Rift backwards again...sigh...

Thats brilliant! Just think of all the other products you could buy and then return as faulty and get a chance to tell a joke as you obtain a refund It could go on for years before the police track you down you run out of jokes* Better still, we could start sending you stuff to return on our behalf!! Hello? Hello Is that Mr. Friar from the Priory......again? Yes, it's me Mary What is is you'd like to return this week Mr. Friar? I've got this butt plug with a faulty solenoid Mary.......would you like to hear a joke? *You will run out of jokes one day won't you? Please, promise us now.....

My MSFFB2 is recognised by the game but it does not have a key assignment. I managed to map the essentials to it but for my throttle I think I’m going to have to write the lever and switch numbers down and then add them through the game. I haven’t found a way to adjust stick sensitivity yet.

New York @9.30EST with real time weather.

Took off from Kenley too. Eventually I hope to be able to land it without the horrible crunching noises!

I haven’t fiddled with any of the settings yet. It’s running on the settings the game chose. It decided I was High but not Ultra😎 Okay, fingers on buzzers, here’s git#2

Yeah the ai decides to draw some weird stuff. I think their library and their algorithm might be a bit limited when it comes to ‘older’ buildings of non-North American origin. Churches in particular suffer from this. However, gain a little altitude (1000m) and it all starts to look astonishing.😍

Yeah, it’s a toughie. Flew this just after lunch today with ‘live’ weather.

Thanks to the member map data may I present an exciting new contest with a complete lack of fantastic prizes!😀. Here’s the first one...any guesses?

Bought the London city buildings expansion as it looks good and it’s an inexpensive way of dipping my toes in the water. I pressed the ‘Buy and Install’ button and went through the payment process and.....er.....where is it? My bank says I’ve paid for it and Microsoft say I own it but.....😱

I bought it from Microsoft directly. Everything to do with it’s installation was a pain. First of all I registered for an XBox for PC account. Then I had to register with Microsoft in order to purchase it. Let’s see...what was next? Oh yeah, I then tried to download it but Microsoft could not find a device to download it to so I had to register my PC with Microsoft- yes really! Then I was able to pre-download it. Only it doesn’t, it only d/l around 900mb which I think must have been the installer before stopping. I was able to download the other 130 odd gig the following morning. To compound matters, none of the above was obvious or straight forward on the various Microsoft web pages I was required to visit. An absurd process.

I will try Friar. Fridays and Saturday evening have been decreed family lockdown fun evenings by the commander in chief atm. Are you still having trouble getting it going?

Got it going around midnight with just the very basics mapped to my MSFFB2 and graphics settings not touched at all. TrackIr worked fine as did new Nvidia drivers released today with support for this sim. Exeter to Dunkeswell via Sidmouth - a flight I’ve made many times in various light aircraft. Astonishing 😎.

This is EXACTLY what my download experience was 😫

Not me. Currently listening to my wife and her sisters issuing blood curdling threats against a.n. 4x4 driver.😱

After wrestling with Microsoft's way of doing things I now have it downloaded and running and it looks....astonishing! But that's it for a while as I'm sat in my car at our local casualty department whilst wifey is inside with her mum who has been knocked off her pushbike and appears to have a broken collar bone

I think you'll find you've forgotten the internationally recognized suffix SI-DEWAYS with that one FT

Welcome Walker! Nice to have you here👋

Going to order the basic beans-on-toast edition just as soon as it cools down enough for me to feel like turning on my gaming pc.
