Issues with piper Cherokee gauges and switches (have reported using DT bug report form, but list them here in case I am incorrect or somebody knows easy fixes): Airspeed Indicator says "knots" but is actually reading in miles per hour, mph. The tooltip value does read the correct value in knots. This is important since during the PPL lessons the instructor gives speeds in knots. Vertical speed indicator is incorrect (three times too small). Tooltip value does read correctly. This is also a problem in several other aircraft. Landing light switch doesn't work (all lights can be turned on using the L key, but the cockpit switch does nothing) There does…

Are we allowed to experiment with addons and/or discuss that on Avsim? Just checking... ;)

Which tweaks are working? I did try: TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=1000 TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=800 WideViewAspect=1 and the tips from here: https://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv2/LearningCenter/getting_started/performance/tuning_guide.html I´m not a pro-tweaker, so i appreciate any help.

Where do i find it? Thanks!

I noticed that Vancouver (CYVR) doesnt have any PAPI lights. Thhought to let you know.

Spoiler Could you make modified version of FSX SE convert into 64bit, and same interface with same UI ? call them as FS11 / or FS64. I think that's what people want. If I know how DTG company works, probably I could even give more broader ideas, but since it's internet based community , it's quite limited.

Are they fully featured or just Carenado and IRIS' typical glass panels? Can you load approaches and STARS/SIDS or is it just pretty basic functions like clock, timer, wind direction etc? From the screenshots and videos I've seen so far it looks like it contains Orbx textures, with some form of overdone over saturated HDR. The autogen/landclass looks better in some areas. However the aircraft look better (and the glass displays appear smoother and more readable). I also did see a few videos with rain on the canopies and the rain looked excellent! Additionally, the Van's RV in the game - is that the old Baytower RV7 and 7A? Can you navigate like in P3D/FSX/X…

Expect compatibility updates for PMDG. I want to see PMDG in FSW.

For FS flyers, there seems to be a few choices for 'flying with a purpose'. From what I've seen, these consist of: VAs FSEconomy FSCaptain FS Passengers I like the idea of FSEconomy as a 'charter-based' community with tied-in economics (less pressure to be an 'airline' as with VAs and FSC/FSP), but I don't like how stagnant and progression-difficult it is (not to mention some of the hypocritical nature FSE inherently has). I'm not trying to pooh pooh on anyone's interest in FSE, but for me it just doesn't seem progressive enough and too 'wait around years for this to happen before you can get what you want'. With that said, is there anything el…

Unfortunately i can´t run FSW on my system (Windows Insider Preview), so i`m interested to know, how it looks like in my home area. Please can someone post a few shots of EDDS and the surrounding area? Many thanks! Nils

was wondering who runs an ultra wide monitor and what are your results ????????? just got this bad boy for a new build , not a big deal LG 29"

I just tried to start FSW for the first time and received the above error. I am running an Nvidia GTX 1050ti 4gb graphics card. I can't believe that this card would not at least meet the minimum specs. Please help!

This morning I decided to fire up FS9 after a time away from it. My preferred sim is P3D. FS9 after all this time still provides more locations to fly to/from by the shire volume of freeware payware available for it than any other option. After takeoff on the way to cruise flying iFly's 737-700 I looked around at Rex clouds, the real world weather, Contrals Pro jetliner traffic in the distance, and the constant ATC traffic over the Chicago area. I was like wow this sim still has an emersion factor after all these years. Granted my setup is all tricked out. My question is if it was just scenery and the aircraft, how is that superior to even a flawed release lik…

Hi just wanted to ask if there is any plans on what you guys have in mind as far as what to focus on next ??? if there is any kind of specific areas where you like to get some feedback ??? ill be more than happy to help I'm sure some other are too but without an idea on where to start its a bit hard for me so please let me know ... thanks in advance ....

In the spirit of constructive feedback and helping DTG in EA work out a better product, I thought I'd start a thread to collate the main bugs/issues that require attention. First, of course, is optimization. But, more specifically: No map! ATC window can be opened, but not closed. ATC voices are terrible, sounding like 1980s computer voice generation. The same old stupid white (translucent) sheet fog layer from FSX. I don't think there's any aspect of this sim that breaks realism more than this graphical atrocity. The RV-7 appears to be badly bugged. I could not take off in it. Full power only gets it to about 45 kts. Needs to be…

Hi, First time to post on this avsim forum I bought this sim few days ago, because I love flight simulation software. Despite the bad reviews, I did not hesitate and went straight into buy this game. What can I say?, it is definitely amazing. Graphics looks much better than P3D, so does flight dynamics, although there are some texture brightness and HDR effects should be adjusted, but other than that, this game is worth if you want DX11 with 64bit. I barely use P3D, because of addons I have on FSX SE. but now, I love FSW way better, if they start to add some more aircrafts and fix for smooth and frame rate, then this game will be…

To all P3D/FSX pros, what are your NV driver settings for FSW? Do we have to force vsync? Threaded optimization on or off? Many thanks!

... On one hand I feel a bit obliged to say what I don't like about FSW, it feels a bit too easy to not say anything about it, but well, you know... on the other hand I think it is best for everyone if I only say that just before my two hour trial period was over I requested a refund. And I won't take anything back of what I said on this forum during the last few days, based on posts and video's of others. I fear that talking about the last two hours will only offend some of you even more than I already did with my remarks about blinkers and blindness and so on. Adding anything to what I've already said won't do anyone any good and, honestly, it would b…

A well made and very interesting first look video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo3N9ryiRhM

In the FSW.cfg [Display] section I have RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=0.60 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=0.2 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=0.60 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=0.60 just incase if you want to give a try.

I know opinions vary, but having messed about with it a bit, I think FSW is quite good. Sure it needs some tweaks, colours are a bit iffy, and it could certainly do with more tweaking options via the graphics menu settings; it needs a jet and a chopper desperately too, but I suspect these things will come to pass. Hopefully there'll be some third party ATC and Weather soon. Like AeroFly, the possible addition of these things mean it has potential. Right now it is fun to blast around in some of the default aeroplanes, which look like Carenado models to me if I'm not mistaken. Frame rates are okay on my fairly old system and it looks pretty good even on fairly reduced …

Hi all, In the spirit of supporting new flight sim efforts, I've flown a bit in the early release of FSW and think it has promise, especially if they can get good third party support. Flight dynamics are smooth, as is rendering with GForce 1060 card. Having said that, I've been with X-Plane for some time now, and am used to using the mouse for view movements. I can't seem how to figure in FSW how to use the mouse for moving my view (like I can in AeroFly2 even). Any suggestions? I thought I remembered being able to do this in FSX, but it's been a while. Thanks

And we have takeoff! I am so excited to say that Flight Sim World has now been released into Steam's Early Access program. As part of FSW release into Steam’s Early Access program, regular updates will be delivered over the coming months - including a weather system upgrade, flight planner expansions, and enhanced multiplayer functionality. Additionally, we will be collating and acting on your feedback for the complete duration of the Early Access period. “The flight sim community is a fountain of experience and expertise and Early Access is our way of drawing upon that knowledge to make Flight Sim World the best it can be” said Executive Producer Stephe…

Gauges don't work, but hey, it's better than nothing.
