    So I turned everything to max settings turned on Bing Data Maps and photogrammetry etc. I flew King Air about NYC and got 4FPS lol. FIRSTLY: I know and willing accept I set my settings way beyond my systems capabilities. But a question I had was... would any single system upgrade make a difference when dialed back a bit. Here's what I have: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X RAM: 16.9GB GPU: RTX 2060 Super Motherboard: B450 Aorus Pro Wifi Installed On: 1TB SSD Internet Speed Test Via Google: 49.8Mbps download 10.1 upload

  3. Has anyone else had a problem with their function keys working/not working? For example, F5 works for me for flaps, but F1 kills my throttle instead of zooming in on a point of interest, and F2 does nothing. As a result, I can't even do the first training mission. I have not changed any of the key assignments in the game, and I have tested my keyboard. I am using a Thrustmaster T.Flight along with my keyboard and mouse.

  5. Hello. I'm new to MSFS 2020 and one of the first steps that I wanted to do was login to the official MSFS 2020 forum. When I try to login to the MSFS 2020 Forum I keep getting an error message complaining that it has run into an error logging in to XBOX Live. I can't seem to get around this problem. Does anyone know what I should be doing to resolve this issue please? Thank you in advance for your help.

  13. Hope someone can shed some light on a problem that I'm having with all my prop planes(not the Turbo Props or Jets.) After launching any of them, almost right away I get an alert on the G1000 screen saying that I'm on "Standby Batt" and 2 minutes later as I takeoff, the screens go blank. I have a Honeycomb Yoke. So, no matter what switches I toggle regarding the Avionics Bus or the Master Batt, makes a difference. I even went into the Controls Menu of the Honeycomb Yoke to see if there was a conflict, but found none. I usually fly the C-172 or the Bonanza. I am at a loss, anyone that may shed some light on this, would be much appreciated. Thanks. Mario

  14. I (and a bunch of other people) have this odd issue where we need to stop the standard Windows Audio service before launching MSFS. If we don't, MSFS will crash to desktop where it would normally show the Xbox logo during the loading sequence. Once the Xbox logo screen appears, the Windows Audio service can be started again and the sound is back and MSFS continues to launch normally. Still quite annoying having to follow this procedure every time you launch MSFS and so far no solution in sight. I've been in contact with Asobo Support about this and so far, their help/advice has not been...shall we say...very impressive... Anyone in here seen the same issue and f…

    I have been flight simming since the dawn of flight sims. I skipped over FSX from FS2004 and went to X-Plane. After half a year almost to the day, I feel MSFS is finally out of beta. I know not everything is 100% (some default aircraft still have major issues), but for the flying I do (FBW 320NX) it is very enjoyable. The last update did it for me: - clouds and atmospheric lightning - weather is getting closer to real life - performance on a mid-highish system is really enjoyable I hate the fact that it has become an industry practice to release software titles premature and let paying customers do 'final' testing. But it is a fact and we ca…

    Hi, In the city of London, 3D modeled buildings are mixed with the rest of the photogrammetry buildings. The result is a pretty ugly mix. I don't know yet what the scenery looks like disabling photogrammetry. I'll try it this afternoon. I hope Orbx will adapt its scenario to the parts of the city that did look good on the Update that were not present on the Orbx addon.

    Got a really strange issue that’s possibly come up since the update with my keyboard. Although the keyboard (Logitech G wired mechanical keys) works fine - some crucial keys - ESC, INS, HOME, END, DEL, PG DN etc have ceased to work. CTRL, F keys and PRTSC work fine as does the rest of the keys... I cannot find a solution so far. So if anyone knows where I can go or what I can do to get these keys working that would be great. thanks ray

  20. Has anybody tried this iconic flight from Westray to Papa Westray yet? When I click on the big box to do it, it says says one or more items are not installed, and go to the content manager to download them. The trouble is, when I go to the content manager, there is nothing left to download. I downloaded the UK & Ireland pack, and it has all installed (I can see the new London buildings, London eye rotating etc), so I am at a bit of a loss!

    In case some may find it helpful, I am posting this in response to a discussion on another thread having to do with the desire to view files 'on top' of MSFS when flying. Kneeboard Viewer 2 (KV2) is a small program that allows the user to open one or two ‘on-top-windows’ to view programs of choice, such as a web page like SkyVector, or a pdf reader with tabs for multiple charts (SIDs, STARS, approach charts), in ‘kneeboard windows’ on top of FSX/P3D/X-Plane/MSFS. The kneeboard windows may be sized and positioned as desired, and will stay visible on top of FSX/P3D/X-Plane/MSFS while you fly, or may be toggled on and off (shown or hidden) by user selectable keys (or ke…

  23. Hi, I briefly checked London and Oxford using the drone camera, but even when waiting for minutes for the scenery to load, the buildings have either that melted look or just look very blurry. I do not have this issues with the Japan photogrammetry. So could this be just a quality issue? I do get the message occasionally that my bandwidth is too low for photogrammetry, but not this time when loading the London and Oxford scenery. Any ideas? I would be relieved if these quality issues are due to low bandwidth and not because the photogrammetry is of low quality. On speed tests, I get 25 to 50 Mbits per s.

    Since the beginning I have noticed that sometimes a flightplan, is not loaded into the GPS, when you hit the PLN button on the GPS. It will show the departure and everything else is blank. I discovered early on if you simply exit to menu, and reload the flight, then the plan is always in the GPS. This works every time. I have seen this in the G1000 and in the G 530.
