In cockpit view - my CH Yoke hat switch has always been used to look left, right, up, down,...etc. The view remained where I moved it. After the update the view snaps back to straight ahead and close to the instrument panel as soon as I let loose of the hat switch. When I go to the Camera Tab while in the sim (flying) and try to change anything in the camera settings the mouse cursor disappears from the screen and never returns. The only way out is to hit ESC - I then see the mouse cursor again and can change things there but if I RESUME the mouse cursor again vanishes. why is the view snapping back to Instrument close up? Why is the mouse cursor d…

Any word on a upgraded GPS unit like a Reality XP for 2020? I know it seems "to early" but just making sure.

In a flight this morning I developed a little icing so I descended to a lower altitude right away. As I did so, I noticed the ice on the windscreen wasn't changing any, so, on a whim I activated the defroster control. I also activated front cabin heat (might as well be comfortable). 🙂 I really wasn't expecting anything but, lo and behold, the windscreen began to clear, It appeared to slowly clear in a couple of distinct patterns toward each side of the cockpit. I recall in other flights where the ice didn't clear much at all. I don't know whether this effect is modeled in the sim globally or whether it's just this aircraft, but I was impressed!

Hi all, Updated the app in MS Store. Launched MSFS, downloaded update. Go to the Marketplace, "Buy & Download" buttons grayed out. I've seen a few topics on the official forum, started two of my own. Mods keep closing them. I've reported it to Zendesk, no response. Anyone else having this? Any solution? I tried the log in, log out thing and it didn't work. Thanks!

On the first region based world update we had Japan. Which had many things included, one of them being photogrammetry cities. Then we had the USA and it had no photogrammetry cities but a couple handcrafted airports etc. Then, today we have the UK world update and again a lot of things including some airports, poi’s, and again photogrammetry cities. why did the USA world update not include photogrammetry cities? If you look at the content manager you’ll see Japan photogrammetry cities and uk photogrammetry cities but not USA. Did I miss them?

After the new U.K. update, REX Weather Force is now crashing the simulator just after it injects weather. Not sure if anyone else is having the same problem. I've seen this happen before when an update broke REX until they released a new update to Weather Force.

All the MSFS 2020 world updates thus far has been in the northern hemisphere and so will the next one, namely France. Is it not time that Microsoft and Asobo turn their attention to the southern hemisphere? I would love if they could do my own region namely Southern Africa. There is so much natural beauty in the area including world famous game parks that can be filled with the big 5 animals in the simulator. South Africa also boasts modern cities like Cape Town and Johannesburg and many points of interests that can be added in a world update. Also big airports like Oliver Tambo in Johannesburg, the Cape Town International Airport and the King Shaka International Air…

Well after a whole lot of aggro with the download looping and crashing, I finally managed half an hour or so over Bristol and was underwhelmed to say the least. Noticing that the buildings were still generic, I realised that the update had turned off my bing data and turning it on improved things a little. Unfortunately, Bristol looks nothing like Bristol compared with Mark Taylors Google photo freeware and the Clifton suspension bridge is worse than the freeware addon I previously had. I was hoping for the two severn bridges as well, but will have to put my add-ons back into the community folder. The ground textures and roads are better, but the photogrammetry sce…

This sim update made a lot of my local satellite/aerial imagery much clearer and much more updated. I typically fly around Minneapolis area and just in front of the nose here is my house (well my autogen house) but I can clearly see our tiny pool that we had up in Summer 2020. It wasn't like this in the previous update and certainly not in the RTM version. Did anything change in your area? bingupdate by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr

Hi, I know various tweaks of Rivatuner and Nvidia control panel have been suggested - avoiding the in built Vsync /FPS limiter. But has anything changed? If anything I'm getting a better experience limiting Vsync/FPS to 30 in game now rather than with Riva or Nvidia CP. Any thoughts/advice since all the latest patches/updates? Thanks! Tork

Well, the M20 takes off for me with the same trim settings and the same speed, also it lands perfectly at the same speed and flap setting, no floating. So IMO all is good. Just did a test flight from EGNT to EGGP. Coulds and lighting look even better and the detail with the update is just wonderfull. So all good from what ive just seen.

MHTG-Toncontin Intl. This is a bit of an unusual feature to see at a handcrafted airport. The building is almost at the end of the runway. Besides the blocked runway I observed a fuel truck do a head stand on an uneven vehicle path. I wonder if some building heights have been changed since the initial release?
