    Hi, I have setup a brandnew system (i9 10850k, 32GB@ 4000Mhz, RTX3090), however I get CTD after a while in MSFS. Sometimes it just crashes the sim and I return back to desktop. Just even, it's caused a restart (bluesreen). It seems like that Adobe Premiere Pro is not running stable as well. I just don't have any idea where to start. Should I update my BIOS? Using MSI MNG Z490 Gaming Plus Mobo.Or are there any setting I have to check there? I had XMP enabled. Any ideas are more than welcome, since I have no clue and my FSX tweeking experience is now quite in the past.

    Since install when MSFS was released no problems at all, last night had a CTD while flying at night in the Dreamliner when coming into land, since then if I fly from an airport with no flight plan installed everything okay, if I install a flight plan, program try's to load then crashes to desktop! I think I 'am going to have to reinstall MFSF.

    I had a really weird problem the last few days. I figured out the solution, so I wanted to make a thread so that others with similar issues could find the solution. My simulator would launch, but it would be extremely slow. So slow in fact I thought it bugged out and froze completely. I decided to have some more patience and let it run and see if it would even get to the menu. I tried launching the sim from Store, from desktop icon, as an admin etc. Nothing helped. After launching the sim, it would take about 10 seconds to see the white frame, then just a black screen with the rotating loading symbol in the lower right corner. Except it wasn't even rotating. 5…

    I just finished my fourth flight of the day in my favorite FS2020 aircraft, the Carenado Mooney. It was a short flight from LFAT to London City. The approach to London City was fantastic, past the London Tower, the bridges over the river, etc, and the approach to London City Airport, was beautiful. . As I was flying the approach on final , I was saying to my self, "This is just like really flying!!! " Kudos to Microsoft.

    I just installed Atlanta Airport by Imaginesim into MSFS2020 and noticed that the blue taxi lights are all over the place at night. Is there a fix for this or is this a know issue? https://prnt.sc/zfjuph Thanks Note: Imaginesim doesn't really have a support forum to ask these questions.

    Hi, needing some better advice. I have installed MSFS 2020. the logos run normally, a picture of a mountain/landscape is displayed. This is where it ends the MSFS 2020 and drops back to the desktop. I have done everything to try and run this sim. Reinstalled, run as admin manager, checked the xbox live credentials, checked the antivirus and firewall settings, run the Alpha as administrator and nowt works. My PC is new and well capable of running this sim. thanks in advance.

    Howdy Folks Been using the REX Weather 2020 engine for some time and have thoroughly enjoyed using it with the modified Citation to shoot RNAV approaches in the Texas area. Right now the area is snowy and overcast and Rex paints it beautifully. What a great sim this has become even with some of its "issues" ... and a special thanks to the developers who so greatly enhanced the Citation and the low cost Rex weather engine. Well done! Jim
