Hi from Australia Thank you so very much into the blue simulations. In this world, day and age we need a KZhead channel like yours. Once again thank you so very much. Kind and respectful regards T C from Australia.
Hello Terry, My absolute pleasure, once again! Thank you very much for the kind words, sincerely appreciated. I’m really happy that you’re finding the videos / channel useful : ) Cheers and all the best!
The absolute gold standard for addon reviews, what a pleasure ! Every addon you have recommended has been well worth the money. Thank you for the in-depth and honest reviews. Curious where you get the audio for the atc?
Hi Wait, My sincere thanks, very kind of you to say! My pleasure on the reviews - I’m glad you’ve been finding them useful and in alignment with your own personal tastes (I certainly wouldn’t recommend any product that I didn’t enjoy myself)! The ATC is real-world recordings, which I’ve then edited into the video. There is actually an ATC chatter app available for MSFS though, if that’s the sort of thing you’re after : ) I hope that helps. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks very much again and all the best!
Great add on, which I purchased over a week ago, after seeing a review on another site and the FSR500 is very FPS friendly. I simply love the FSR500. If you pop out the table and choose coffe & food in the tab then they appear on the table.
I’m very happy to hear that you’re enjoying the 500, Ian. FSR certainly did a brilliant job with the aircraft! Haha, I missed that little detail with the food - a really nice touch (and just goes to show once again, what a labour of love this aircraft is). Happy flying and all the best! : )
There are many middle sized GA aircraft coming, turbopros, jet and aspirated engines. After the TB850 , this Piper, then the PC12 and next week even a wonderful Tecnam P2012 Traveler. Not to mention the Piaggio Avanti later on! Incredible.
Indeed Antonio! Previously, I was never a massive fan of these sorts of aircraft in the sim but, I have really come to understand their appeal haha. I think the TBM850 is still my favourite at the moment but, I’m very much looking forward to seeing what the PC-12 has to offer : ) Cheers, all the best!
This is a really well-made video!. Graphis all very good and well chosen. Smooth cockpit camera movements. Pleasant and to-the-point narration. Thanks for sharing! I don't understand why I haven't been subscribed to your channel before. I certainly am now. I really like this aircraft. It is detailed, but still, I as a casual simmer can get it in the air and have fun without having to study much.
Thanks very much for the kind words Martin, my pleasure! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and that you’re enjoying the FSR500. Welcome aboard! Happy flying and all the best : )
Great review, I've been waiting for you to get to this one. I bought it and think it's well above average, and you backed up most of my thoughts on it.
Cheers Runman! I’m glad you enjoyed the review and I’m very happy to hear that you’re enjoying the FSR500 haha! Happy flying and all the best, sir : )
Great video. MSFS looks absolutely beautiful in this video. The atmosphere, location, clouds, plane, everything coming together to create an unforgettable sim experience. 👍
Thanks very much David, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight! MSFS does indeed come together pretty magically sometimes, this being one such occasion : ) Cheers for watching and all the best!
WOW GREAT flight Captain. Beautiful scenery and looks to be a good package to purchase! !! !!!
Many thanks, Mark! FSR have indeed done a very nice job with the 500; I’ve flown this route a couple of times at this point but, it never disappoints : ) Cheers, hope you had a great weekend!
Ther prop animation looks like it was from a GoPro Cam not a human eye
That opeing scene was a beautifully coordinated turn.
Haha, thank you, sir! : )
Great review as always!
Thanks very much Grae, I’m really glad you enjoyed it! Much appreciated and all the best : )
Man! I am in this thing right now and let me tell you what. The developers put their heart into this fine piece of machinery. You will notice that before you even take off;)
Absolutely, Jeffrey! Even when I first loaded the aircraft and you’re taken to the setup menu of the tablet, with the music playing in the background, I thought to myself; “whoa, that shows some real care and attention!”. FSReborn’s passion for the aircraft is great to see : ) Happy flying and all the best!
Vielen lieben Dank aus Mainz! 👏 Fantastic tutorial. The best to fly along myself and learn from all the details 🙏
Thank you very much, Elmar! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and found it to be useful. Much appreciated and thanks for watching. Happy flying and all the best! : )
great video. Thank you so much! Fantastic plane. I used to fly Carenado’s version.
Thank you very much Donald, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight! Indeed, FSR have done an excellent job with the 500 : ) Cheers again and all the best!
I bought this thing on launch day, and it has quickly become my favorite plane to fly in MSFS. It is perfect for living out one's fantasy to be flightsim Stevo1Kinevo. 10/10
I’m very happy to hear that you’re enjoying the aircraft, LS; FSR really have done a very nice job with their 500. Enjoy your Stevo adventures then haha! Happy flying and all the best : )
Wouldn't the Black Square TBM be more suited to flying like Stevo?
@@errolikalina1998 probably but I’m a Piper homer
Another Spot on Video as usual but for me for that Dec holiday Family does come first amfraid, an besides 19 aeroplanes are plenty for me atm. Side note I especially liked the mention of the TBM and that A2A aeroplane.
He mentioned that the TBM and A2A had more depth (I agree ) but he did not mention they were more expensive by a long shot. We talking 10 - 20 Dollars different to be even be compared too.
Cheers, Mike! Haha, that’s more than fair - I’d hate for Santa to bankrupted ahead of the festive period! It sound like you’ve got plenty of options to keep you entertained for the foreseeable future, anyway ; ) Many thanks again!
reviews are top tier. thanks for your continued effort making all these superb vids ItB
Thank you very much once again, Marshie! Always a pleasure - I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight (FSR have done a very nice job with the 500). Cheers! Hope you had a great weekend : )
Enjoying the FSR500 heaps in MSFS on both my Alienware m15 R7 PC and Xbox Series S!
I’m glad you’re enjoying the aircraft, Ant! Happy flying and all the best : )
Definitely worth the buy!
Hi, another great review, thank you.
Thank you very much, Peter! A pleasure once again : ) I do hope you’re keeping well and having a great weekend. All the best!
Love it!
Nice review, and a nice aircraft. To me though as a VR-only player, I think I will get the Black Square TBM as a SL turboprop single. Main reason, I find steam-gauge panels *so* much nicer to use in VR than full glass cockpits.
Just to warn you, I find all the black square aircraft to be be strangely proportioned in VR. They look phenomenal in 2D, but the gauges have an inauthentically large amount of depth in VR; a lot of the actual dial hands on the gauges are positioned far closer to you than the rest of the gauge housing.
@@wokkus5610 I know what you mean, not sure what it is but in most of MSFS VR I feel like I am a miniature person in a toy cockpit! Contrast with DCS which is amazingly immersive in VR in comparison
@@michaelpowell775 Yeah, nothing beats DCS in the VR department. There is a world scale parameter you can mess around with in MSFS to adjust the apparent size of everything in the VR space. Most of the DCS modules are made with laser scanning or photogrammetry, so the cockpits are truly authentic. The A2A Comanche in MSFS looks great in VR, and is appropriately scaled (probably because they laser scanned their actual PA-24)
Thanks for offering up the info Wokkus, that wasn’t an issue that I was aware of (I don’t tend to test products in VR)! Cheers, all the best : )
Thanks very much Michael, I’m glad you enjoyed the review / addon! I think I would go the same route if I were a VR flyer; mechanical gauges are easier to read and there’s also more interesting details to see around the cockpit (steam gauges are also just “better” in general haha). I can’t attest to the quality of the TBM in VR (it sounds like it has one or two issues) but, I agree, a number of MSFS aircraft are not to the correct scale (I gave the AN-2 a go recently), though this can usually be tweaked a bit with the Word Scale slider (as you mention). Happy flying and all the best! : )
Thanks for picking a trip in French Alps. Enjoyed every minute. Passion is too weak word - I would say closer to insane. Raul working on this project at night, after ordinary work. I dare to say level of system simulation is on par with A2A. A couple of days ago I did not follow checklist and burned the starter/generator. Next attempt it started to crank a few seconds before the load was to high and a couple of c/b s popped. The G1000 cockpit is not my favorite. But it is fascinating to monitor the full automated flight. With Reborn and BlackSquare "amateur'" guys, the more established pro developer/publishers should be ashamed asking for higher price for their average products than those. Just check the 144 page manual for FSR500. The highest standard in documentation. None is even close.
My pleasure Øystein! It’s a route I’ve flown a couple of times at this point but, it never disappoints haha. Passion, obsession, insanity; whatever one want to call it haha, it was very clear from the aforementioned interview, that Raul “gets it” and genuinely cares about pushing the boundaries / bringing us the very best product that he can. That sort of attitude is rare to see and should absolutely be rewarded (I hope that the FSR500 has sold like hotcakes!). It’s actually one of the things that I have really loved about MSFS; many of the “old guard” have really been shown up. Gone are the days where we have to accept mediocre products for large sums of money. Now we can get some absolutely top notch addons, at very reasonable prices and support the “little guy”, rather bolstering the coffers of a dev who’s only there to turn a quick profit (something that happened all too often in FSX / P3D). I hope you had a great weekend. Cheers again! : )
Landing was intense!
Haha. It was indeed a tricky one, Brian; the landing was actually much more marginal than I had first estimated it might be, when planning the flight (a 10kt tailwind didn’t do much to help) haha. Thanks for watching! : )
What I am hoping for is that they make those dummy switches on the lower center panel functional. Just so that everything works. Top notch video & flying!
Arghh, I had mean to make mention of that Zsolt but, totally forgot haha. I seem to recall from the Cockspur Mustang, that it’s not actually possible to model the Garmin keypad etc at the moment. I would have thought “when there’s a will there’s a way” but, I’m fairly sure that if it was possible, FSR would have done it (given the amount of effort that was put into the rest of the product). I’m glad you enjoyed the flight! Many thanks and all the best : )
Awesome review, as allways. What kind of head tracking do you use? It looks so smooth and it also feels like it lets you move around quite a lot laterally.
Thanks very much Fernando, I’m real glad you enjoyed it! I use TrackIR. I don’t know how it compares with Tobii eye tracking but, I have my TrackIR profile pretty well dialled in and the tracking does everything I need it to do : ) I hope that helps. Cheers and all the best!
Great review as always. A quick question for clarification - you mentioned at 38:00 you're seeing around 74 fps compared to 120 fps with the default 152. Is that with nvidia's frame generation on or off?
Thanks very much Mike, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Those results were with frame generation turned off (I would love to have it turned on but, I then can’t use VSYNC, which ultimately results in a lot of screen tearing). I hope that helps. Thanks for watching and all the best! : )
You sound like an airliner captain when you speak and I mean that in a good way:).
Haha, it wouldn’t be the first time that I’ve heard that, David; some people love it and some people hate it but, it isn’t “put on” (I don’t necessarily talk like that in the real world but, seem to naturally lean into it when commentating - a hang-up from work I suppose), so we’re stuck with it either way haha. Many thanks and all the best! : )
As always a wonderful review of what seems to be a marvellous add-on. Thanx!
Thank you very much once again Krister, I’m really glad you enjoyed it! FSR have indeed done a wonderful job with the 500. Cheers for watching! My pleasure and all the best : )
Thanks for the excellent video and review. And as you probably know, you are way behind with all the new releases :))
Thanks very much QBziZ, my pleasure! Haha indeed; there are a tonne of addons that I haven’t been able to review and unfortunately, I’m just not able to keep pace with the releases these days (work and family life are a LOT busier than when I started the channel haha!). I generally give preference to major releases / high quality addons / aircraft that interest me personally. I do have a long list of current releases, that I plan to try and cover at some point though haha. Cheers and all the best! : )
What a gorgeous aircraft, hard work was definitely put into this amazing plane. Not to take away from the topic of this video but what is the aircraft sitting on the ramp out the window at the beginning of the video?
Indeed VG, FSR have done a really nice job with their 500 : ) If memory serves me correctly, it’s an Eastern Airways Jetstream 41 (or something similar). Unfortunately, it’s not a flyable addon though, just some AI ground traffic, provided by AIG. I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best!
My favorite GA addon in MSFS!
High praise indeed, MCP. I’m really glad that you’re enjoying the addon! Happy flying and all the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thank you! You too! :)
Cheers! : )
You can really tell when a developer absolutely loves what they are doing and take pride in going the extra mile and when it is just another cashgrab developer. I bought the S4 a long time ago and you could tell FSReborn really love what they do and hold their job to a high standard. They are one of the few that from now on I can almost blindly trust in what they are going to be developing.
Absolutely, Migui! 100% agree : )
Expertly piloted, lovely landing up the ski jump. Magnificent scenery. Plane looks good. A worthy half hour's watch.
Thanks very much TGH, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight / aircraft! FSR have indeed done a very nice job with the 500. Much appreciated and all the best : )
12:35, was that a Shorts airliner sitting at the gates? If so, how did you get that, as well as that Saab at the destination as part of your AI traffic? Were these airports stock FS? Gorgeous simulation of a nice aricraft.
Hi Pythos, The Shorts was part of the Black Box Simulations package (and MSFS just happened to be using it as AI traffic). If you haven’t come across that one: kzhead.info/sun/aJugktWFcJqCiY0/bejne.htmlsi=RFs9XVVXnTM9zabH The Saab was part of my AIG traffic setup (which I don’t generally use anymore but, FSTL wasn’t populating any traffic at Chambery). The departure airport (Chambery) is Orbx payware (relatively cheap actually) and the arrival airport is indeed the default MSFS Courchevel. I hope that helps. All the best! : )
The shallow landing probably counted against you a little bit, you did float a tad above the runway, but I dare say your two passengers would have been impressed. 😃
Haha well, “you can’t win ‘em all”, David. . . It wasn’t my finest landing but, “any landing you can walk away from” ; ) As you say, the pax wouldn’t have known any better hehe. Cheers again!
That’s a smart looking aircraft but for what I use single engine turboprops for, the standard 930 does the job these days.
That’s fair Mark; the single-engine turboprop market, has suddenly become saturated with excellent options in MSFS haha (with the default 930 indeed not being too bad itself). FSR have done a great job with the 500 though. Happy flying and all the best! : )
Can you do a review flight on the IniBuilds A320neo? Flight suggestion: EasyJet London Stansted to Tivat.
Hello Maffarick, I do plan on taking a look at the iniBuilds A320 but 1) I’m not running the beta version of MSFS (so don’t have access to it yet) and 2) I tend to prioritise payware reviews over freeware reviews, since everyone can try freeware for themselves. I most likely will make it an EasyJet flight, though I’m afraid I may not have enough free time to make it all the way over to Tivat (we shall see). Thanks very much for the suggestion! All the best : )
As french I understood most of the background comunications this time ...😊
Haha, very good monsieur, happy to hear it! ; ) All the best!
A mandatory watch - 737NGdriver interview with designer Raul. His lone climb to what he called his Mount Everest. He did not take performance data for granted, but asked a pilot to do real life testing He even asked for a few seconds overtorque data, and cabin de pressure at higher altitude kzhead.info/sun/nb2tfZ2Aq4l_aZ8/bejne.html
@0:55 - I won't lie - that paint job on the prop has automatically offended my OCD sensibilities. I'm not sure where that idea came from.
Hi TG, Your OCD will be pleased to hear, that’s not the paint job; the red section of the prop, is a cover haha (which links to the exhaust covers). You can rest easy now! ; ) Cheers, all the best!
Very disappointed that Sir 'Into the Blue' didn't arrive by Rolls Royce & red carpet & the Macaroons didn't get a look in lol 😉 Apparently, you can simulate a bird strike with a caved-in 3D windscreen! Interesting to get your take on FSR500 (M500) and TBM850 flight models as both seem good but both have a few things maybe in need of updates/tweaks, some twitchyness and the like. I noted on the dev videos that the G1000 was modified slightly to allow the duel engine columns as in real plane which is a nice touch. Sadly still both my pc system & bank account struggling in 2023 for all the good planes coming out let alone what we get in MSFS 2024! Boundaries & standards of add-ons are being pushed ever higher. It's great to see Simbrief & Navigraph included & with draggable charts on the tablet. Also using the Navigraph plug-In for G1000 allows them on G1000 screens & importing Simbrief plans to G1000 now for even more realism. For £30 does seem great and a nice plane manaul availible - seems to me FSReborn are great & worthy of support. I recommend to anyone the 5 or so videos on this plane done by 'The Flight Level' on tutorials on this plane they are very good for general consumption with awseome highlighted overlays used. FSReborn are doing the Venom 300E Biz jet after this - cannot wait for that also as will use leanring from the two prior. If only your real-life flights had chauffeurs, red carpets & Macaroons - safe flying ITB 👍
Haha! Unfortunately, my KZhead income doesn’t allow for such luxuries, just yet : P I had intended to feature the 4X4, but didn’t find a good segment in the video and I must admit that the macarons were news to me (at the time of recording)! The bird strike scenario sounds very interesting! Addons do seem to be constantly reaching new heights within MSFS. On the one hand, one would expect that to be the case but, it’s great to see dedicated devs like Raul, responsible for really pushing the boundaries. I don’t know if I’ve made this up but, I seem to recall reading that FSReborn are also looking to do a 727 - that would be epic! Many thanks once again, sir. I do hope that 2024 brings you happiness and good fortune then : ) All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Always fantastic to wait and watch your content, happy & safe flying IRL - and I wish you and the family all the best for Xmas and Near Year. Thanks for the content over the year 👍💜
You’re most welcome, sir! If I don’t catch you before, a very Merry Christmas to you and yours also! : )
What is doing that Saab in Courchevel? Where comes from?
Haha, good question, Antonio; it’s a Loganair Saab, so he’s rather a long way from home (Scotland)! I was using AIG traffic for this video; typically I use FSTL but, it wasn’t populating any traffic at Chambery. I wasn’t using live traffic during the flight though, hence the strange combination of aircraft / airlines at each airport ; ) I hope that clarifies things. All the best!
At the risk of stating the obvious, another great review! This is a definite buy for me. Small enough to be GA, decent performance and it has glass (yes I prefer glass). Plus it's FSR so it should be great. I like the instrument setup and the fact it's not bonkers fast. Should keep the workload reasonable on the days I want to fly (semi) competently.
Haha. Little did I know, that there was a cat amongst the pigeons in my subscriber base, Roland - we have a glass cockpit lover amongst us?! It’s okay, nobody is perfect : P If glass is your thing, then the FSR500 is indeed an absolute gem! FSR are also throughly deserving of the support - a true simmer, with a passion for hobby it seems (which is always great to see, of course). I’ve no doubt your virtual passengers will be in awe of your flying abilities! Many thanks once again. I’m very pleased to hear that you found the review useful! Happy flying and all the best, sir : )
I love it but the engine rpm should not be as responsive. The TBM 850 engine rpm seems to be more realistic. Still a pleasure to fly them both almost on a daily basis.
I wonder if the "acrobatic" label on the dash is a typo?
It's like that in the real airplane too. Google cockpit images and check
I guess we have our answer, haha. Good spot though, I completely missed it ; ) Cheers, RS!
Aim for the snowbank next time. you ate half the runway flaring for the hill.
That’s pretty much what I was going for JF haha; I misjudged how much the aircraft was going to float and also had a tailwind working against me. Can’t win ‘em all ; ) All the best!
What's your yoke/joystick sensitivity settings if you don't mind me asking?
Hello Raymond, My joystick sensitivity settings are just left at “default” values (from memory, even by default, MSFS still introduces some sort of sensitivity curve). I do have a -50 curve on my rudder sensitivity, as I still find the rudder response to be way overly sensitive in MSFS. I hope that helps a little. All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations It absolutely does. Thanks!
Great, you’re most welcome! Cheers : )
Hey guys, I updated my fsr500 last night, I also had a mandatory game update today. Ever since, all 3 of my screen just stay black, even the tablet. Me and a couple friends have this issue now. Does anyone know how to fix it? (Xbox)
Hello Zachariah, I’m afraid I have no idea what the issue may be, or how to fix it but, I would imagine if you can get in touch with the dev directly, he would probably be happy to help. What you’re describing, sounds like a genuine bug so, I would imagine FSR is busy plugging away to fix things, as we speak. Sorry I can’t be of more help on that one. All the best : )
I wish I could buy this outside the Marketplace.
You aren’t the first person to make such a statement, Jon. Perhaps, based on such comments, FSR will have a change of heart but, I think they are exclusively a Marketplace developer at the moment (I don’t recall having seen the FSR500, or the Sting S4 available elsewhere). Cheers, all the best!
Uhhhh,SimWorksStudios is doing the PC-12. 😂 Great review, nonetheless.
Haha! What did I say? It was just a slip of the tongue if I mentioned someone else. . . XD Thanks very much CK, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations No worries. I'm getting both. FSR and SWS not only work together but are definitely among my top developers.
Seems this dev has gone far from the P3D days of making overpriced night lighting addons, this plane looks fantastic.
Hi Steve, I actually didn’t even realise FSReborn had done that previously (I just looked it up). Well indeed, it’s night and day (terrible pun intended haha) between their previous efforts (which looked decent but, I’ve no idea what they were charging - they’ve since pulled the product) and what the dev has been doing in MSFS. The 500 is pretty fantastic, as was the FSReborn Sting S4. Both aircraft have pushed boundaries in MSFS, which is all the more impressive given that it’s a one man effort! Cheers and all the best : )
Anyone have this and the A2A comanche. Trying to decide between the two which to pick up. Looking for something in depth.
Hi Red, Well, I own both haha. If you have any specific questions, feel free to send them my way. Both addons are excellent but, if it’s depth you’re after, the Comanche really can’t be beat (kzhead.info/sun/mNKacbxvemaBjIU/bejne.htmlsi=OAeK3L2gBT6lz1Yu)! Cheers, all the best : )
I've been flying it everyday and haven't touched anything else!
High praise indeed, CA. I’m really glad that you’re enjoying the addon! Happy flying and all the best : )
Where can we buy this? I'm not putting a penny the Marketplace way!
I’m afraid it’s Marketplace only at the moment, CT (so far as I know). I’m not sure whether FSReborn has plans to release the aircraft elsewhere, at a later date (I don’t believe they did so with their Sting S4). All the best!
No flaps during takeoff?
Hello Bård, According to the checklist, takeoff flap is optional on the FSR500 (M500). There was plenty of runway available at Chambery and I wanted to keep the climb performance (to help clear the terrain), so opted to takeoff with the flaps up : ) I hope that clarifies things. All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations ok 🙂
can you do another a320 tutorial pls
Hi N1tro, Was there something specific you were after? I have my MSFS tutorial series, which pretty much covers the basics and then another A320 tutorial series in P3D, which covers more advanced topics (albeit, the series is pretty old and rather janky as a result haha). I also have a number of A320 flights in MSFS, which tend to cover different topics / scenarios in a roundabout way (I recently recorded another scenario in the Fenix A320 but, I’m not sure as to when I’ll be publishing that video). Do let me know if there’s something you’d like to see and, if it fits, I’ll potentially try and get around to recording it (at some point - I do have a backlog of content to record currently). Cheers, all the best! : )
0:30 sorry this is real life there’s no way that’s flight sim
Haha, isn’t it amazing, how far PC flight simulation has come, Zack! ; ) All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations same to u man
hello or got the tablet
Hello SeaShark, Apologies but, I don’t quite understand the question? Please rephrase and I’d be happy to help : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations you don't have to apologize thank you I found the solution
Don't buy it for Xbox series x. It's not working well, yet. Black screen in the middle of every flight. Approach Mode doesn't work at all. And many other issues, like slowing down due to excessive use of memory.
Sorry to hear that the aircraft currently has issues on the console, Rubens. Hopefully the dev will get things fixed up ASAP. Thanks for the info, I’m sure it will be useful to many others! Cheers and all the best!
Again no review of the internal night lighting. SMH
yes it shows landing light on the ground reflection but it needs to be on the aircraft as well for a more realistic look. I’m needing a new tower computer i had was too old many many moons ago i flew sims until i can afford a new hp gaming pc i’ve shopped i know ehh realm of my wish i know i want big graphics card, one TB of memory and lots of speed Unless a viewer is generous im on fixed income after being out of buying one 😮 my 2014 was having its fits age of windows 10 i run pc’s till they won’t back then i got on a payment plan not today paying rent taking care of parents who have retired i’ve had to put my last dime to my dads xmas gift that’s just me my joke is give you the shirt off my back if it would fit. logistics say late 2024 almost to 2025 at pc prices. i’ve learned don’t skimp go plus one. i was playing california trucking waiting on nebraska and my home state arkansas but old pc said i’m gonna piss you off. warranty way gone it was time but in order to even play this game your looking at Alien ware by dell or something sweet by hp it was so old that windows 11 wasn’t compatible i want to be able to share with my dad who used to fly for real many moons ago hence to get a big Wish so he can least grab the yolk again. yes he flies on i -pad works but he puts his kneck to stiff. monitor i’m great key board mouse perfect just the tower. Any body want to grant a X-MAS wish set this game up yes i will need a yolk ??
Hello Mark, I’m afraid I can’t gift you a new PC but, have you considered looking into the cloud gaming version of MSFS? So far as I understand it, Microsoft takes care of crunching all the data and you then essentially stream the sim to your PC. As a result, you can run MSFS on waaay more modest hardware (almost anything by the sounds of it), which might at least be a decent stop-gap solution? It’s not something I know a whole lot about but, it might be researching a little more. I hope you and the family have a great Christmas! All the best : )
He muffed the start up. Emergency on, until you GPS figures out where it is... THEN bat on WHILE the Emergency is STILL ON. After Bat is on, turn off Emergency. just about the only thing I fly anymore. Do wish they made the better M600 though, as useful load on the M500 is atrocious... two dudes, a cooler, and 60 lbs of gear with full fuel, you already over weight. Not a hauler for the family and friends.
Hi Hawkdsl, Fair enough. The provided checklist simply states “EMER Switch: On - Check PFD - Off” (“Battery: On”, comes 2 steps later). I work my way through so many aircraft / addons, I tend to have to rely pretty heavily on the checklists. I’m very glad to hear you’re enjoying the 500. Happy flying and all the best!
