Especially for A320N (and A320NX FBW) Normally, we were able to control the taxi with NumPad 0 and Enter . But now, nose wheel is not moving. And rudder axis was perfectly working with these controls before but now just havig trmi (not neutralising) with NumPad 0 and Enter. I could not find, how it was !!! Any suggestions to link the nose wheel and to solve the rudder axis ? Thanks.

As the title says...after this latest update yesterday are the textures on the 747/787 still mirrored ?,

Hi, I had break with MSFS. Is it possible to set up sensitivity of rudder in MSFS options or linear curves? I have the impression that planes "dance" unrealistically on the ground, sensitivity of rudder is very high. In P3Dv5 it works better than here. Especially when landing is strange. Any idea for this? Maybe new FSUIPC for MSFS has option for linear curves? Thx for advices.

For the Florida flyers this looks pretty good: https://verticalsims.com/shop/mfs/mfs-kclw/

Hi All, First post :). Just bought Microsoft flight sim 2020 and see there is a London landmarks details park. Have clicked buy and download but all I get is a notification the purchase failed. I don’t get asked for my card details as I am logged into my Microsoft account but there is a card associated with that account. Can anyone help? thanks. Josh

Since the last update i'm encountering a binding problem with the (left) Shift key. Whenever i try to bind a key together with the left shift key, the key shows up first and then the shift key like in "F12 + SHIFT". But with this binding i have to press the F12 key first and then the SHIFT key to make the action work. If i do it the other way around, pressing the SHIFT key first and then the F12, nothing happens. MSFS seems to read the sequence. But i can't make the binding switch the sequence, there is no way i can bind any action to SHIFT + F12 instead. The moment i press the SHIFT key it will not register the F12 anymore. There is no such problem when using the CT…

Since this update (or earlier) I am unable to select real LIVE weather. It always reverts to clear skies. I can select any other weather situation except live/ The 3 square boxes to the left will not let me chose either Solved: I had to reactivate Live Weather in the DATA folder in Options (had been using REX weather force before)

I have been trying to find the file(s) that hold the actual text of the tool tips associated with the default MSFS aircraft. Does anyone know what kind of files these are (XML I would guess), where the files are located, and how they are associated with a particular a/c? I know how tool tips 'work' in P3D, but have not been able to figure it out for MSFS. Thanks, Al

Is it possible to toggle off and on the taxi ribbon from the key board. I have looked on key board but cannot see an option to do that. Is it even possible ?

Post update I’ve noticed that there is a reproduce-able issue where the sim sticks on one of the advertising new features screens right before the selection screen to choose your aircraft, location etc. No CTD, but it won’t advance. Thanks to a sim organizer I know it isn’t an Orbx or partner product causing the issue, and it’s not a repaint or aircraft addition, and it’s located in North America (I have many/ payware sceneries and some nice freeware as well as some nice freeware titles..and if I shut off my North America collection I can easily get to the final selection screen. Anyone else run into similar issues post launch tonight? Thanks, …

So the Carenado 182 offers a couple of knots extra cruise speed over the default 172, which feels Carenado-like to me. The holiday price for the 182 is great. But what does it offer other than a bit of speed? Is it more fully developed? I still fly FSX SE 60%+ and enjoy the depth of systems implementation of the RealAir Turbine Duke v2. For old times sake yesterday I pulled an aircraft out of the hangar that I had not flown since mid 2015, when I fell in love with the RA TDv2. It was the Carenado Beech C90T King Air. It blew me away. It is the most deeply developed Carenado model I have, and I had forgotten. Virtually every system in that C90T is modeled. E…

When trying to load a saved flight I get an immediate crash to desktop. Anyone else seeing this? Bazzer

Anyone Tca Quadrant AirbusThrust and auto thrust issues after todays update? Every update something is broken

Maybe just where I live, on Vancouver Island, but there are now "volcanoes with lakes in them" in the medium distance that do not exist in real life, and disappear when getting closer. Only to reappear when leaving them behind.. The DEM information/treatment is getting worse here, not better ☹️

Hi everyone, I'm still quite new to FS2020 as I took a long break after it first came out due to a few of the early limitations of the sim (I like flying jets with IFR). I just downloaded the new patch and used the WT CJ4 mod (updated for the new patch, huge thanks to the modders for their amazing work!), but once I passed 30k ft the jet started bucking like a bronco. I thought perhaps it was turbulence so I disabled the AP and hand flew, however the occilations entirely disappeared. Am I doing something wrong, or do we still have the same broken AP at high altitudes we had in August? If it makes a difference, I was using the jets FLC mode to climb a…

I just installed the update. One of the items listed on the update was "Added seatbelt and no smoking chimes to jetliners" I just loaded the default A320 NEO and the switches move, but i dont hear the chimes. (Yes I know the FBW mod has these already, but im using the default A320 right now because FBW is broken right now) 2. The A320 reinstalled with the update today everything all the folders etc. It changed the thrust_scalar in engines.cfg to 0.82. The FBW mod and a thrust fix on flightsim.to both have the thrust_scalar at 0.88 Which is correct? Thank you!

So why asobo have broken the clouds? They seems now very ugly after 5 months from release.

Its driving me crazy, sometimes you have to go to the store to update, the next day it can update in the game, seriously Asobo can you decide, another thing is they are mega huge, let me buy them on a dvd it would be faster for me to get them that way, ffs its crazy. How about letting them download in background, cant be that difficult to figure out even Blizzard found that out.

Hi Guys, Anyone else having the same issue the a320fbw latest stable version is crashing the sim as you're waiting to load into the sim after clicking fly now?

New update installed smoothly. VR looks great. But once I have the aircraft trimmed nicely, after about 30 seconds I get a violent trim up. Sends the aircraft into a serious nose up attitude. So far on the 152, 172, Caravan and King Air. This is all in VR. Anyone with a similar issue?

So the updates strike again (for me). I just recently started flying the Longitude (with mods) and after todays update it is completely messed up. Taking off with 80% thrust and close to MTOW it climbs out at 6.000ft per minute, the Autopilot is all over the place. FLC doesn't react at all, VS Mode set to +1000ft and the actual climb rate is at 3.000-3.500ft per minute. Quit the sim immediately. Unplayable. I'm starting to get fed up with this. sorry. NAV is unable to keep on track too. Now shes oscillation left and right around the track.

Please delete post. Double post.

Quick question... I notice that the AOC page is now asking for my Simbrief USER ID along with username. Where do you find the USER ID? Thanks
