The developers of sim aircraft are pretty crafty at making their products work within the limitations of the simulator (MSFS, in this case).

And, a similar deep dive into what is possible with the simulator software itself. This process to program the cockpit for a given aircraft in a specific simulator is a deep dive into how the sim aircraft was crafted (Lvars, animations, etc.). Because, for the time being, we are committing all focus to MSFS and AxisAndOhs, there was a bit of learning curve to get the programming done. With the current configuration of the project, we are using MSFS Addon Linker by bad2000 to simplify starting the sim environment (and to selectively enable groups of 3rd party addons).Īfter the getting the cockpit back online and all hardware working, we began the programming to make it functional inside the simulator. Although designed for P3d only, we managed to shoehorn it into starting MSFS and DCS for a time. SimStarter not only automated the process of starting all the necessary software, it also allowed us to do things like set a default flight and selectively enable groups of scenery addons. Some time later, we discovered the SimStarter application. In 2013, at the beginning of this journey, we used a DOS batch file to simplify the process of starting everything up. In the ESP sim (FSX-> P3d) world, this included hardware drivers, weather injection programs, EFB’s, moving map software, etc. A good number of these auxiliary applications are designed to run simultaneously with the sim. We would venture to bet that most flightsim users operate and maintain serveral auxiliary applications in addition to their main sim platform. Likely, our next simulation computer will be AMD technology. Time for the next round of computer migrations for us, too. Our current system (Intel i9-9900KF, overclocked as mentioned) is 5 years old. While evaluating our options regarding graphics cards, we also investigated AMD CPU/MB hardware.

Perhaps, because the XBox system is based on AMD technology, we as PC users are seeing collateral benefit. We have mentioned the MSFS/XBox connection a couple of times. One potential positive for us as hardware purchasers is MSFS seems to be more hardware agnostic, both CPU and GPU-wise, than the ESP sims. In the meanwhile, AMD has made some significant performance and power management improvements in their products. We have been a Nvidia/EVGA fanboi for a decade, but the last couple of years in the graphics card marketplace (and recent events in the Nvidia ecosystem) have given us a good deal of heartburn. We are taking this “opportunity” to try out an AMD 6800XT graphics card. As a result, we are spared the consternation of the MS server moves.

After 5 years of continuous use in an overclocked system, the GTX1080 FTW started overheating when doing any graphics process more intense than MS Excel. Yesterday, the fans went out on the graphics card in our simulation computer.

Of course, as a user who always flies with “live” weather, it would be a gripe except for…. This is probably a relatively small issue resulting from what is probably a herculean IT process. It is now about 36 hours since the planned move and there are some reports that “live” weather is broken for many folks. This is a pretty big deal considering the mass of backend horsepower being applied to service the users. A few days ago, MS announced a planned server move for the MSFS content delivery services.
