I'm looking for a neat place to fly into that has a good custom scenery, payware or freeware, to make sort of a home base.

So what are your favorite sceneries in North America?

Does anyone know how I can pick an area at random when running the vacuum?

I don't like running a full clean during the day. I prefer doing rooms at random. I used to have an elaborate template to sequence rooms and choose the next room in the list but that doesn't seem to work anymore.

Thank you all for your suggestions in advance!

I came across their modular outdoor kitchen family recently. The countertop and bar top seem to be perfect dimensions for me so wondering what the consensus is. I can't imagine IKEA-quality material lasting very long outdoors but this will be totally covered.

What are your thoughts?

I'm sure this has been discussed but I didn't know how to search for it.

I recently had my deck rebuilt. Under the deck were can lights and fans but we opted not to replace those for now. Unfortunately, the circuit those lights and fans were on is also the circuit some lights inside the basement are on. I found the romex that's going went from the switches in the drop ceiling and it is just cut with electrical tape covering it. Is this acceptable for should I do more before turning the power back on? Thanks in advance!

I got the email for the clearance event at the Adairsville Ga fulfillment center and I'm wondering what to expect. I went to the last two events and they were wildly different. The first was items they obviously couldn't get rid of. Random sizes and styles that just weren't popular, I still grabbed a few things. The most recent one was returns and things that would be in the "bargain bin" at the stores. That was a mad house but I still grabbed a few more things.

Anyone know what this event will be like? I'm sure I'll still be there but just wondering. Thanks!

I assume I shouldn't use the traffic injector for either of these while flying on network so is there any point beyond the model marching vmr file? If so, how to make it work the best? Is there a static traffic option or something I've missed?

Thanks in advance!

I'm about to get back into flying GA aircraft and wondering what the "best" plane is that we can get easily for 2024. I currently own the JF Piper Arrow but wanted to try something different so I'm looking for suggestions. Best modeled, most accurate, most fun to fly, whatever you guys like, but available through our various methods, if you catch my drift. Thanks in advance!

I know Plex does its own backups. And I know the Appdata Backup plugin works as I use it for other containers (and relied on it in the past). But, what happens if I lose the drives appdata is on? And Appdata Backup requires the container to stop, which I don't want to stop Plex. So how do you backup Plex? And specifically get the backups off the cache/array and on to another system? Thanks in advance!

Last week I cut up a whole ribeye. I vacuum sealed and froze a dozen steaks but didn't salt/season them beforehand.

What is the best method to cook some is these? Sous vide, cast iron, and oven are available. I'm just wondering if I should thaw and season or cook from frozen and season after. How would you do it?

I'm beginning the process of having my deck redone with the option of putting a roof over it. I'm also looking at building countertops and a bar top into the deck with space for appliances. Right now I have a Traeger and a Blackstone and would just slide those in between the counter tops.

So I'm wondering, is there a suggested height the roof should be over the cooking surface? Thank you all in advance!

I asked a question the other day which got a lot of traction about what I do pre-flight. I end up spending an hour plus just picking and preparing for a flight before I even load the simulator. Many of the suggestions were to up my "career mode" game and join a VA so selecting and preparing for a flight are more streamlined.

I'm wondering what makes a virtual airline "good" and what do you suggest for MSFS2024? I've been simming for more than 5 years and fly on VATSIM almost exclusively but still feel I'm leaning a lot. I don't need my hand held but sometimes need some direction.

Thank you all again in advance for your support!

I took a flight last night and realized it was nearly 2 hours from the time I sat down at my desk to the time I pushed back from the gate. I don't have that kind of time to play, let alone add flight time to that so it's very discouraging. I enjoy realism so I know there's not much I can do about it but I'm wondering how long it takes some of you to get going, and maybe where I can trim some precious minutes.

For me, it takes a while to search for a flight on Neofly, make sure I have sceneries installed and GSX profiles installed, generate the flight in Simbrief, set up the sim hardware, launch the sim, start a flight and start the FS2Crew timer. At this point I'm nearly an hour in. The FS

After the latest updated of MSFS this is mostly a moot point but I'm still wanting to understand what I can do with lossless scaling as a whole.

I feel like I'm throttle by my CPU. I have a 5080 but also an i7-8700k (hindsight I should have upgraded CPU/MoBo before GPU). Before the recent update of MSFS (SU4 seems to be much better optimized than before) I could maybe get 45 frames with frame gen on at mostly high-ish settings. Any time I turned LS on my frames did not seem to go up, resolution did not look better, and there was tons of blooming and frame gen artifacts. So what was I doing wrong?

With the current update I can easily get 60+frames with frame gen on at mostly ultra-ish sett
