About a week ago I decided to try out the headphone mode again but could not get any sound through the headphones. I had tried it out when I first got the sim and it worked then. Now it doesn't. There is nothing wrong with the phones. Youtube vids and music sound fine. When I go into options and put on the headphone mode and plug in my headphones sound to the external speakers is muted but I get no sound from the sim. After a couple of minutes I get static like I have lost the signal. I am using Sennheiser headphones that have a base transmitting unit that plugs into the computer that sends a wireless signal to the phones. Is there something else I have to do in the sim …

Some of you might have noticed, MSFS uses an aggressive sharpening filter. Some like it sharp, fair enough, but I think the image looks much cleaner without it. Thankfully, we may now easily disable it. Also, there are better sharpening tools using NVIDIA Freestyle. Follow the link below for more info. Search for your UserCfg.opt, open it with notepad. It's located at \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\UserCfg.opt for regular installs. At the bottom, find this list. Set Sharpen to 0, save, that's it! {PostProcess Enabled 1 EyeAdaptation 1 ColorGrading 1 Sharpen 1 Fringe 1 LensDistortion 0 Dirt 1 LensFlare 0 FilmGrain 1 Vignette …

Seems the highest available joy with MSFS2020 is now when I can complete a flight (VR) without a CTD before touchdown Never happens after touchdown But I still love the flight, even with a CTD, or without

So yesterday i was on a flight from northern germany to Longyearbyen ENSB up north when suddenly at some point the moving map of my G3000 (Citation Longitude) stopped moving and instead my airplane symbol started moving upwards on the display finally dissapearing. Trying the map panning function to get my navigation back failed also as i was not able to pan upwards at some point. Might this be a Sim bug, G3000 mod bug or a general moving map bug? Anyone else tried flying up north? Best regards

Hello all, I have just purchased Flight Simulator 2020. Prior to purchase I checked my system requirements against the published requirements in the Microsoft Store and believed they met or exceeded the minimum. However, during installation the installer said my system did not meet the minimum requirements and the program would not run correctly. I do not understand why it said this - I have listed my system specs below with the minimums in brackets. Does anyone have any idea what is the issue? When I purchased the software from the store it said I was not able to request a refund. I feel like I have been misled. Anyone else have a similar experience? OS: W…

Hello, tonight I’m flying KBZN-KBIL using the WT G1000 mod. While on the ground at BZN I set a direct to for KBIL and it drew the line on the G1000. After I was airborne, I took an indirect route to avoid mountains during climb and was off the direct path. I hit the D-> button, hit enter enter to try and go direct KBIL from my current position hit enter enter did not activate to new direct to. I tried rotating the inner knob which brought my cursor down to activate and hit enter. In this case though the magenta line did not redraw and remained from the direct course I had set while at BZN. I’m not sure if this is a bug or if I’m doing something wrong when…

Ever since I got my Thrustmaster Officers Pack controllers (joystick and throttle) my altitude, heading, and speed adjustments knobs will only change by 10s (heading/speed) or 1000s (altitude). Often this is convenient, but it means I can't fine-tune my altitude or heading to the exact correct value. I'm adjusting these using my house by hovering over the knob in the airplane and scrolling with the scroll wheel, not using any button on the joystick or throttle, but this issue first started when I connected those. Occasionally when I start a flight the knobs will work as normal (altitude by 100s, others by 1) but at some point in the flight it will go back to adjusting by …

Firstly I’m struggling to update the AIRAC for MSFS 2020 and more specifically the A320 (I use the FBW mod), I have downloaded the navigraph beta manager and updated it through there but it still has the last AIRAC cycle installed. Secondly i use simbrief for my OFP and would like to electronically write on them (ATIS, Dep/Arr Clearance, On/Off Block etc) does anyone know a way to write/edit PDFs without buying any extensions/can you download the simbrief OFP as a word document instead? Thanks

Since a few days I have noticed that each time I start FLIGHT SIMULATOR a Windows Firewall permission request pops up with a message where I can read... F:<n>\flightsimulator.exe the <n> index increases sequentially from session to session... Started at 2, next time I started MFS it was 4, then 5... Example: F:7\flightsimulator.exe ( btw, F: is the partition / drive I have installed MFS in ) The only difference from the default install was adding the GNS 530 mod as well as the Fw 149d Piaggio. Anyone with the same experience ? Thanks !

Working Title CJ4 v0.8.0 - OPEN BETA Welcome to the Working Title CJ4 v0.8.0 OPEN BETA; this represents our largest and most comprehensive update to date.

Is it me? I’m flying the Baron nearing sunset but not quite, and when I went to the external view I noticed rust on both ailerons in a view from behind and slightly above... https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198427670343/screenshots/ Is this new? Had I just noticed? I swear all the planes were showroom fresh before. I can’t stop my flight because it’s a SkyPark mission, but are other planes like this? And yes it’s default, not a repaint, actually right after a complete re-install because I cleaned my computer too well, 😉

It just found out a few days ago that MSFS is fully compatible with NVIDIA Freestyle, which recently started offering the original Reshade filters. It's free, and NVIDIA Freestyle is already included and installed on your system once you enable the experimental features mode in GeForce Experience's settings. You only have to download the Reshade shader pack NVIDIA released. Bottom line, you get powerful post processing (at no performance cost) out of the box, no hacks, seamlessly integrated. I have used it a few days now, and coming from Reshade (X-Plane), this is a joy to use. Here I am using a carefully arranged setup, slightly upping contrast and image temp., addi…

The last 2 days when flying the DA62 I have major problems with the Autopilot. Never had the issue over the previous 3 months. On takeoff at around 1000' when pressing AP it refuses to stay enabled. This continual pressing of the AP or using key pad z does not make any difference till, after about 5 minutes of trying eventually the AP will enable, I do not have the same problem with the 2 other aircraft I usually fly (A320 and TBM) Any Thoughts? Thanks Raknal
