Bought and installed this… looks beautiful, but it’s the first add-on I had to uninstall… my framerates went from a average of 40+ to -1… a complete slideshow. Just sharing my story, got to have a pretty high system with some of these mesh’s. (is that the proper plural, lol.)

It’s interesting, I’ve tried a couple of meshs so far, including the new freeware one from orbx, and I don’t notice any change at all to my frame rates, even though I was half expecting one.

Has anyone tried to convert the Just Flight Hunter for MSFS?
I was thinking of mil-jet aircraft I own, that would be relatively easy to port over that didnt have many digital instruments. Curious if anyone has already done it.

This is interesting to me. Looking forward to a Twin Otter!

Great updates coming to the Mil-Viz Corsair soon. It’s interesting that they’ve modeled functional guns, even if they can’t interact with the world.

That plane looks a bit like someone took a warbird and just slapped a different cockpit on. :slight_smile:

Enhanced Live Traffic. Maybe, haven’t tried it. If you try it let us know how it goes :slight_smile:

Open source and latest here as well:

EDIT: Quick peek in the code shows:

  • A standalone C# app, using simconnect to inject things into the sim as it runs.
  • It’s using https://www.flightradar24.com/ as its API and gets the nearest 40 aircraft to your location.
  • As well as lat/lng/course/speed it will also try to model match, otherwise will default to default A320
  • If it recognizes the callsign suffix it’ll match up with a livery on the model, if you have it installed locally.

So basically similar to what the stock does, but with potentially better model tracking and livery - you just need to supply those yourself in your community folder and get the naming right. I think the downside will be the ground handling etc will be weird (these ADB-B trackers are good for the air really) but it’s free so why not…

The only thing that I don’t really like about this is that I kind of have a commitment not to do like we did in FSX and P3d and X-plane, and once again start (possibly) choking my sim with all sorts of outside processes.

Aeroplane Heaven Releases Cessna 140 For Microsoft Flight Simulator

A list of features was also provided by the Aeroplane Heaven which can be viewed below:

  • 7 Authentic liveries include polished alloy, gloss paint and well-worn examples.
    - 3 versions of the Cessna and if you know your way around configuration files your choice of which version to use per livery.
    - ‘PBR Workflow’ texturing inside and out, as used in many of today’s successful computer games
    - Accurately modelled in High Fidelity with an enormous amount of authentic detail
    - Detailed animations include sprung steerable tailwheel, sprung main U/C legs, brake discs and callipers.
    - ‘Hidden’ modern navigation suite fitted to the cockpit panel for IFR navigation. ( totally optional )
    - Asobo based pilots. Therefore the pilots you have chosen will fly the plane.
    - Authentic stereo sound pack.

The aircraft is now available on the Orbx Store for $21.72.

You can’t get any more classic bush flying than this!

On the subject of mods, does anyone know of one that changes the 3rd person pilot to someone less…millennial? :wink:

I’m sure it’s just me. But when I’m flying the Ryan, Stearman, etc, the sight of a kid in a ballcap and skinny jeans just makes my OCD itch.

I mean, how’s he even keeping that hat on? :laughing:

I’d love to see a nice WWII era pilot that you could use in period aircraft.

A haggard looking, slightly overweight 50ish year old with a wild look in his eye would be a good addition I think. :rofl:.

You can change it here:

For Gen-Z you can make them homeless, for Boomers you can add them complaining about the Millennials and for Gen-X’s can just be checking newegg for 3090’s.

Don’t forget that distant stare that he/she has from reviewing all their poor life choices.

Although if they’re flying a Stearman, they can’t be doing too poorly for themselves.
