I just can't wait for the PMDG 777 ... my favourite aircraft on P3D and it's hopefully a matter of weeks/months from release onto MSFS2020 now.

I swore I would not pay any more money to PMDG for stuff I've probably bought twice. But they are sicking me in..

If those are the real graphics, then I'm impressed with the all-round improvements. However, the biggest issues with FS2020 were jagged rivers, weird shorelines, and streetlights - all omitted from the trailer. I hope they can fix them.

A career mode would be of interest, if it includes funding, logistics, or anything that elevates it beyond just flying around.

Any advice grateful received. Running Justflight BAe146 - nice model. But frustratingly the EFB wont power up which means I’m stuck on stand with chocks I can’t remove. Other features remain unavailable of course. The screen prompt simply and unhelpfully states ‘long press power on’ …. Nothing I do seems to constitute a long press and the EFB iPad remains cold and dark.. any words of wisdom?

I’m using a turtle beach velocity 1 and usb mouse as prime controllers. Xbox controller remains connected

This happens to some with the Justflight Vulcan, traced to another mod - https://community.justflight.com/topic/5697/efb-no... they also mention the 146.

Thanks FWD - I forgot to mention I’m using XBOX straight out of the box so other conflicts unlikely

Just done know what command equates to ‘long press’ on Xbox?

Does this help, it's a full startup for the BAe 146 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zENuDUNqs5s

Might be something you have missed?

I've had to take some time away from MSFS and have done for quite a few weeks now, I went through a phase where i was on it every night and also watching YouTube videos on the latest planes to come to it and found myself spending a fortune and on occasion finding myself disappointed.

Will probably get myself back into it one day.

I built my little sim shed room and havent been in it for ages, just had too much to do.

This new version does look good, bit more mission based as FS can be a little bit lacking a point sometimes.

The recent update appears to have made it unplayable for me. Massive stutter and unresolved scenery as I leave the tarmac. Checked through the settings and can’t see anything untoward. Brill!

Has it sneakily turned DX12 beta on?

I'm finding this with other games. My gaming rig was mid range but 2 years ago could play the games I play at high settings ok, but more and more the games have pushed the envelope and the settings are getting wound further back.

I've been building a full flight sim rig and by the time I'm finished I bet I'll have to buy a new PC to use it.
