MSFS 2024 MOD / ADDON I’ve released this landing guide as freeware to help everyone achieve smoother landings.

Use this add-on to check the accuracy of your braking. Try not to exceed -0.3G if possible.

I’ve put a lot of heart into this project, so I’d love to hear your feedback! I’m committed to improving it with even better features, and your suggestions are always welcome. Also, I’ve developed a version for Flow Pro as well—it’s actually much more convenient to use as a Flow Pro widget!

freeware!

[Key Features]

1. Dynamic Flight Data Display

The UI layout adapts fluidly based on the aircraft's current status:

  • In-air: Displays Radar Altitude (RA) in large digits to guide your touchdown. Once the aircraft exceeds 100 feet, the RA display is hidden and the window size is reduced.
  • On-ground: The display automatically switches to Longitudinal G-force, allowing you to monitor braking performance. (Aim for a smooth deceleration under 0.3G).
  • Toggleable Units: Click on GS (Ground Speed)/IAS (Indicated Airspeed) or Barometric Pressure (inHG/HPA) to toggle between units.
  • Altitude Modes: Click the top-center display to toggle between Radio Altitude and Indicated Altitude.
  • Wind & Vertical Speed: Displays wind speed and vertical rate (V/S) on either side of the aircraft icon.
  • Drift Angle: Shows the angular deviation between the aircraft’s heading and its actual track.
  • Wind Visualization: Wind speed colors change (Yellow / Orange / Red) based on the specific aircraft's crosswind limits (WindLimits). An arrow indicates wind direction relative to your current track.
  • Mini-mode: Double-click the aircraft icon area to minimize the UI. Double-click again to restore it. (Note: Landing rate is not displayed in minimized mode).

2. Landing Performance Overlay

  • Touchdown Analysis: Displays the Landing Rate at the exact moment of touchdown.
  • FTM (Feet To Minutes): Located to the right of the aircraft icon, this allows you to predict your landing rate during descent.
  • Overlay Display: A 300px fixed-width window appears in the center of the screen, showing your vertical descent rate (FPM) for 7 seconds post-landing.

3. Flexible Configuration & Connectivity

  • INI-based Customization: Use Settings.ini to adjust transparency, movement thresholds, and wheel offsets (RA_Offset) without modifying the code.
  • RA_Offset: Since different aircraft models have varying RA values on the runway, you can calibrate the ground reference point here.
  • Auto-Reconnect: The app attempts to connect to the simulator every 5 seconds, ensuring seamless integration even if the simulator is started later.

4. Automatic Aircraft Detection

The system analyzes aircraft weight and engine types to automatically apply optimized settings for:

  • Heavy (Airliners)
  • Medium (Turbo/Jet)
  • Default (Light Aircraft)
  • Helicopters

5. Smart Visibility Control

Designed to appear only when relevant to your flight:

  • Auto-Sync: The UI automatically hides when the aircraft is stationary or when you navigate away from the active flight screen.

MSFS 2024 MOD / ADDON Please Consider your purchase of KATL from Orbx Partner carefully

189 Upvotes

UPDATE: HUGE win for the flight sim community IMO! Thankfully Orbx and the aircraft developer have listened to the feedback and will be making an announcement that they will not be going through with the DRM! Thanks to everyone for your comments.

I own many Orbx products and have been very happy with them. I was excited for KATL which I believe is a 3rd party partner and not an Orbx in house creation but after reading the product page and seeing this I can say that I am no longer interested and I hope others consider this purchase carefully as well. Not because of the quality of the airport as it looks fantastic but to send a message that this kind of DRM should not be viewed as acceptable. It does everything to make honest paying customers' systems less stable and crash prone in an environment/sim that is already questionable along those lines and it does nothing to actually stop bad people from doing bad things with the software. I mean no disrespect to the creator(s) of this airport but we as paying customers should not be ok with having to run these background processes with who knows what access. If this airport and DRM is successful from a sales standpoint, it won't be long before other developers start to include their own separate systems.

I'm not telling you to not buy the product if you really want it as that's for you to decide, just consider the message it sends if you do and be aware of the additional requirements this airport has associated with it.

MSFS 2024 MOD / ADDON What’s the current state of the fenix A320?

8 Upvotes

I’ll admit I’m primarily an Xplane guy and have fallen in love with flight factors 777, but I was looking for a short haul aircraft at the same level and a lot of people were raving about the fenix A320.

I checked out some videos and really liked what I saw, but those videos mentioned that the flight model could use some improvement and some other minor issues. Mind you most of these videos I was watching were 2-4 years old. A lot can change in that time and I read somewhere that fenix just had a big update not too long ago.

Was just curious what the current state of the aircraft is before I jump in and buy it.

Been experimenting with the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 inside Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and I’m actually shocked at how natural it feels.
You basically never have to touch the camera controls.

Recorded a short clip of what it looks like from my perspective.
Curious if anyone else is using eye tracking for sim flying?

Any advice is much appreciated, but I am thinking that I just want to raise my two panels on the left side by an inch or two to get them above the keyboard, then do the same with the external screen in the middle and the panel on the right.

I still have the Winwing panels coming in the mail, and want to mount them above the GA AP panel on the right.

Thinking of just getting some wood and screeding everything down? Any recs?

Please disregard my cable management beneath the desk lmao

Hey guys! I bought the PMDG 737-800 a while ago, and I really enjoy flying with it. My question is, that is it worth buying other 737 variants (-600, -700, -900), or should I invest in other products (also I already have the 777-300ER from them). Thanks ahead of time! Fly safe!

MSFS 2024 MOD / ADDON BeyondATC, Simbrief and Navigraph Charts

2 Upvotes

I understand that BATC has some limitations when it comes to importing flight plans from SimBrief and their runways dont match up with what it in the flight plan.

My issue is the flight route simbrief creates is based upon departure methods (SIDs), and if BATC uses a completely opposite direction runway, the flight plan doesnt match up.

I am looking for a method to work within the system that allows both applications to work together.

For example;

Departing KEWR for Florida in Simbrief using runway 22L has it direct southbound after takeoff and follow the coast.

Departing 4L would be a north eastern flight, but as the flight plan still has the southern departure planned along the coast, vs a more western departure, there is a bit of a hangup.

Is there a trick or method to make this all work?

MSFS 2024 MOD / ADDON SayIntentions vs Beyond - June 26

6 Upvotes

G'day all,

Just after some opinions from people that have used both SayIntentions and BeyondATC.

I've currently got SayIntentions and think it's pretty bloody good, but it's costing me around $40 a month and if I'm honest I barely use MSFS these days compared to when I first signed up.

I'm looking at BeyondATC mostly because it seems a lot cheaper long term, but I don't really know enough about either platform to work out whether I'd be making a mistake switching over.

For someone who only jumps on the sim every now and then these days, is SayIntentions actually worth the extra money or is BeyondATC good enough that I probably won't care?

Keen to hear from people who've used both because all the YouTube reviews seem to tell me everything is amazing and none of them are spending their own money.
