    After watching a youtube where I was able to see a CAT3 dual autoland, AP1 & AP2 lights ons, I tried to replicate it in the FBW mod, with no success so far. I use the FBW installer, which brings the stable, dev and FBW versions, and I ghose the last. Any suggestions ? Has anyone around been able to get dual AP working ?

  3. I have been experimenting with the buttons on the BTQ with different aircraft with varying success. One example on the CJ4, when I try to bind the heading button (button 1) to the Toggle Autopilot Heading Mode, it does not engage heading mode when pressed. It does on the Turbo Bonanza. I wonder if Working Title have different datarefs than stock MSFS. Just wondering what others have found when trying out different planes with the BTQ settings. Thanks.

    I have all traffic (airport, road, boats, planes, everything) set to 100% with Traffic set to AI Offline. I see almost nothing moving anywhere. I spent 30-minutes flying back and forth at 1,500' 1/2 mile N or S of KSAN (the busiest single runway airport in the world). I did not see a single aircraft movement at the airport and only three airliners parked at gates. I did see a couple buses and a pickup truck move for a few seconds. . When I flew N and S over I-5 (connects the Mexican border to the rest of California with Tijuana, 10-miles south, being the busiest border crossing in the US) I saw absolutely NO traffic on the freeway. I overflew several ve…

    Hello folks, I'm told that we can create our own user waypoints and one of the ways is by using a lat/lon format. My question is; what is the easiest way to obtain that data? In FSX, one could go into slew mode and the lat//lon would be displayed. But I am unaware of how to do it with this new sim. Thanks in advance!

    Hi Can anybody help me ? MSFS keeps setting V-SYNC on at 30fps even though I turn it off am I missing something obvious here? This has only happened last few days I have a 6800XT and a Ryzen 5800 i can easily do 60 fps @ 1440p I just don't understand why its started doing this. I have a freesync monitor never had this problem before.

    This is the first time I am doing that so I prefer to seek help: I bought a new SSD specifically for MSFS named "E", my Windows 10 Home Edition is on "C" another SSD. To install MSFS I created a folder "Simulator MSFS" on drive "E" and started to install. My question is: Do I need to create any sort of linkage between my C drive and my E drive for MSFS to work? If so what should I do please? Many thanks for any assistance.

    Deciding it was time to take out the C208B, I installed (I thought) what appears to be the current mod for it. This is the 1st mod that I have had issues with, so I don't know if I am not using the proper install procedures or there are other issues. Following the instructions, which call for the WT G1000 mod to be copied in first, I did that, then installed the C208B mod. I'm using the Addons Linker, which is the only way that mods will function with my system. The confusing thing here is, there is also a folder with the C208B entitled: workingtitle-g1000. However, the instructions state to first download and install the original g1000 mod (workingtitle-g1000). …

    Folks, Is anyone aware of a printable PDF tutorial for the FWB Airbus? I'm looking for something I can give to my son to use, as he doesn't want help from me, despite having flown the A330 for a good chunk of my career! We did find some videos, but he's looking for something that will take him step-by-step he can read and follow. Thanks in advance!

    Everyone else may know this, but I was interested to discover written documentation for the M20R inside the folder C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore\carenado-aircraft-m20r-ovation\SimObjects\Airplanes\Carenado_M20R_Ovation\Documentation on my MSFS install disk. This includes checklists, both normal and emergency, as well as speed and power reference data. Since much of the information appears to have been taken from the POH, I thought it would be useful to locate that document on the web, as well as whatever guides might be available for the operation of the cockpit avionics.…

Download Version 1.0 here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u3K__O7K6awe-BLoEHhPTToNAGkaKiMK/view?usp=sharing Anyone who is interested download the file and report if you see any issues. Things to keep in mind: 1- This will not effect the trees in photogrammetry areas as I have no control of changing those colors, so those will stay green. It's best to turn photogrammetry off. 2- Not all areas will have brown trees. Tropical areas will mostly still have green trees but all tree colors have been modified. 3- No, there is no option to have trees with…

    For real air traffic to be real air traffic, the following must happen: - for example: IBE346 TFN-MAD This means that the simulator is capable of adding an airbus model 346, with the tenerife-madrid flight plan, and the iberia airline. There are developers who make models, there are painters who generate fantastic libraries, there are pages that give the coordinates of the planes in real time. The simulator should only place them. There are two ways: 1) with the simulator software: we use the sid and star similar to those detected in, for example, flightradar24, and reproduce the action. In this way, even if the plane arrives a little earlier or later: IT ARRIVES. 2) We u…
