Hi Captain Mike, I hate to realize your voice is messed up. I hope it gets better soon. A Few Years back when I was using MSFS version 10 the one before 2020, and before I started flying X-Plane 11. I Flew In Real Time From Los Angeles or was it San Francisco? Anyway, I Flew to Honolulu Hawaii and if I remember correctly, it took me 5 and one half hours to get there!! Lol. I will be glad to see you get settled after all your upgrades so you can do more flying than repairs. ( no offense ) From my observations, you look good as is. Terry Minus the few jerks, but oh well.

I'm running 3x4k on a single GTX4080 on a 12900k (using DLSS frame generation) and it's running pretty well.

Beautiful!!!

[@swannsim4658]

Thank you!

[@kenbarthSimAV8tor]

Wow!

[@swannsim4658]

Thank you! Loving every minute of it my friend.

I was never able to get mines to work so I assumed it was not supported. I was definitely wrong which you pointed out and a buddy of mines late last night. This weekend I will be around to test the sim and look over stuff. If you don’t find and answer by then I will have one for you hopefully

[@swannsim4658]

Sounds good, thanks!

[@swannsim4658]

Hi Mark, I think I got it, going to try it now. Looks like FDS has two entries for their lights, dim and bright. For instance the crossfeed is number 11for dim and number 12 for bright. If you need the numbers I have them written out.

@@swannsim4658 awesome stuff ok thanks Mike

[@swannsim4658]

@@FlyWithRookie Not sure if you have FDS overhead and whatnot, I have all the annunciator numbers if you need them. So I'm left with two issues so far. The MFD's won't go cold and dark, always have power and the start selectors solenoid won't stay locked when moved to GRD. Still trying to figure that out.

[@FlyWithRookie]

@@swannsim4658 yup I have FDS. Did you doy now check to make sure you program the battery switch and standby power correctly?

[@LOLHICRONO]

looks awesome

[@swannsim4658]

Thanks

Hi Mike. Gorgeous sim! Wondering if you can help... I built an MIP from opencockpits and cant get the backup HSI on the panel and how did you get the instruments like PFD, ND etc on the external monitors in the MIP? Also, how did you get the FMCs to connect and show a screen please? Any advice you can give would be appreciated.

[@swannsim4658]

When I use MS2020 I have to pop out the panels and move them into position. The panels are from PMDG and I use Pop Out Panel Manager to save my screen sizes and positions. Here is the link to the manager program. flightsim.to/file/35759/msfs-pop-out-panel-manager

[@b744hammerstan7]

Do you have any special techniques for lining up the monitors. I just set zoom to 100 but it's not perfect

[@swannsim4658]

Hi, Nothing special, I just have my right monitor setup as follows: Lateral -91.2 / Vertical 0.8 / Roll -0.2 second monitor lateral 90.2 / Vertical 0 / Roll 0. Note my monitors aren't level.

[@TattedUPLidd]

Me and you both haven’t flown in a week tryna mod and fix stuff 🥹 can’t wait until your all done x 💯

[@swannsim4658]

Thanks, she's getting there!

[@ScottHatmaker]
