Cabin ready sound

Does anyone know if I can download the Cabin Ready sound that’s common on the B777? I don’t have the PMDG 777 to search for it.

Tugs and service vehicles disappeared (poof!)

All the service vehicles disappeared. On pushback, aircraft is not accompanied by the tug, and baggage/catering trucks never come. Hard to pinpoint when it happened. DAE had this issue?

PMDG 737 VOR/ILS Issue (VVTS - RWY 25R)

https://reddit.com/link/1fvtm2x/video/zzknrhe8zosd1/player

Hi All, I've tried landing yesterday at Inibuilds VVTS RWY25R, ILS Approach. I've tuned in the ILS Frequency in both radio panels. When I click VOR/LOC button no LOC signal appears. Can someone kindly let me know what I have done wrong? I could not see BOMSU waypoint too. Thanks!

Best Headphones for Flightsim?

Hey Yall,

It's been a while since I've seen one of these on here and the market has changed since. I want to hear your opinions on some of the best wireless & wired headphones available for flightsim specifically. To me that means:

  • Decent bass to feel the 77W GE90 startup

  • Good mic for vatsim

  • Ultra low-latency bluetooth adapter (if wireless)

  • Excellent range and clarity to hear the various noises in the aviation environment

  • Battery life longer than 30hrs

Thanks!

7th CAV MILSIM VA

I think one of the more frustrating elements of MSFS is trying to give your flights meaning. If you're looking for a reason to fly and you're interested in military aviation, we have a unique idea that integrates MSFS and DCS into a grand campaign narrative. In 7th Cavalry's Heavy Airlift Wing we fly weekly flights that are tied into our DCS group's deployment operations. The percentage of completed MSFS flights gives the DCS operation a logistical/supply starting point, so it's very important that we fly. We additionally have all sorts of special routes, including event flights like natural disaster relief or special forces/CIA exfils. If this sounds like something you're interested in, join us today at https://7cav.us/enlist and our discord at https://discord.gg/7cav Be sure to put down SPC.Longwood.L as your recruiter. This is truly unique and adds amazing depth to both MSFS and DCS.

Honeycomb Bravo or something else?

I’ve had the Alpha sealed in a box since it was released. Been wanting to get the Bravo but not having a desk to even use it properly has led me to hold off.

I saw a brand new Bravo for $299 but am wondering if there is something else that’s out now that’s possibly better or just as good for a lower price? Would a different throttle quadrant still work with the Honeycomb Alpha?

Thanks!

Wanted to share with you my Helicopter Sim I'm making! Done in a retro style, inspired by the old Simcopter game released by Maxis in 1996. It's still a work in progress, but I'm excited to share because there aren't alot of casual heli sims out there. Would love for you to try it! It's free 😁

iniBuilds Heathrow scenery not loading in

Not sure if it’s related to the recent game update, or if anyone knows a fix to this. I’ve loaded in to Heathrow and it’s showing as a default AI generated airport, even though I have the iniBuilds EGLL installed.

Please help!!

Is it me or is the black background on the Fenix A320 family annoyingly not 'black' but instead grey?

Title,

I feel like it's very low contrast, I'm not sure if it's just me, but I don't have the same qualm with the FBW 320

Kind of like an IPS vs OLED situation

Is P3D worth it for military aircraft/combat?

So I really enjoy military flight sims like DCS and some of the aircraft for FSX and MSFS 2020, but MSFS 2020 doesn't have weapons/functional weapons and FSX has lots of niche military aircraft but I had little to no luck with any of the weapon addons from captain sim and tacpack. I know that tacpack is also for p3d but I do like the look of p3d 100 times over fsx. Do I need to buy a specific version? Is there a version that has the most military aircraft available? What/where can I find the best freeware or at least not super expensive military aircraft?

VR motion sickness and motion rigs

So I’m just about to start the process of making the transition from console VR gaming (PSVR2) to a high end PC as I’d really like to start playing flight sims and what better time to do it than now with the pending release of MSFS 2024.

I do get motion sickness but love the immersion that VR brings and recently have become more and more interested in purchasing a motion rig to enhance the immersion even further. Which also got me thinking - because VR motion sickness is caused by a mismatch between what we see and what we feel would a motion system help reduce motion sickness by allowing our vestibular system to experience similar to what our eyes are seeing?

To those who VR with motion, would really like to hear about your experiences and appreciate any feedback. I’m thinking an actuator system prob wouldn’t have enough travel to make a difference? If there’s anyone here with a 6-axis system what would be your take on this? Did you find it helped or hindered motion sickness?

Xbox buttons

I’ve got an Xbox series S and I am wondering what would happen if i connected a non-xbox switch/button via USB and if I could bind it in msfs2020. Thought I would ask before I tried because I’d rather not fry my Xbox.

Pimax crystal + msfs, black screen only in steamvr openxr mode (likely windows issue)?

I've been through the ringer on this one.. openxr native mode is fine, but if i switch to steamvr openxr, not so much. I've reset the headset, uninstalled everything including openxr, toolkit etc, put the latest 1.33 client on the windows machine, same difference. Black screen in steamvr mode, if toolkit is installed you can see the fps overlay, but at this point its a pure pimax client install. Other steamvr titles work fine

On my test clean windows partition, i seemed to have this issue initially, toggled a few settings in pimax and it went away, still leads me to think its an OS issue.

Im wondering if maybe there is a log file somewhere that could give a clue.

On the verge of doing a long and painful wipe/reinstall of windows on the main partition otherwise.
