Hi guys, I'm guessing i'm probably the last to have noticed this, but am i correct in thinking that if you are trying to do any of the landing challenges using the fbw a320 it will not work. I keep getting the message that i need to go to the content manager and update. I have checked this and all my content shows as being up to date

Is it possible to run Little Navmap on an Android Tablet. If so, how to do it ?

I am experimenting a new arctic snow with snow/ice covered trees in remote part of Canada. What do you guys think? I will add this area to the winter season mod coming this weekend. Check the other pictures for other areas of winter season in case you missed it in my other post.

Just got a 1.2gb in game update. It said stability and performance with 3pd planes. They also installed some new folders in the onestore folder called aircraftName + -g58-livery-testpilot. Seems as if they are finally getting around to doing liveries

Hi, I have a question regarding airspaces and ATC (especially in Germany) when doing a VFR flight. Lets assume I'm flying from uncontrolled Echo airspace into controlled Charlie Airspace near an airport. Which frequency do I need to contact first when flying into the Charlie Airspace (red arrow)? The frequency of the tower of the airport who is defintely controlling the red Delta area of the airport or the frequency of the approach/departure of the airport? Thank you! Best regards Andi

Each time I start MSFS2020 it looks for updates and the USA update appears witch is strange because I did this uptade already and everything went smoothly. Does it do that until there is another update ? Thanks.

Hello, I was running MFS on an old gaming laptop, and it actually worked okay, but a little sluggish. I am now setting up a dedicated sim desk and just bought a new Dell G5, i7K, 2TB, 16GB, RTX 2060S 8GB. Maybe get something better down the road, or even an Xbox next Christmas? Can I leave my install on the old laptop and also install fresh on the new desktop ...or de-install then RE-install new? I heard about copying the install, but don’t have a large USB drive. How would you do it? Thank you for the help! Mark

Hey folks, For those who are not aware, FBW has now its new custom fly by wire system in WASM and is pretty awesome! :D. However is not yet in the master branch due some open issues related to the FD, but there is another parallel master branch with the custom fly by wire system, you can download it here: https://flybywiresim-packages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/vmaster-cfbw/A32NX-master-cfbw.zip By the way: This custom FBW is a real example of complexity that can done in WASM. Please read here for important info and open issues about the new FBW. Enjoy!

After having to re-install Windows 10 I'm unable to connect to them MS store to re-download MSFS 2020 does any have any ideas why this is happening as it's never happened before. Error code: 0x80131500 Cv: hwws3kpZu064Gsla

MEX HIGH FLIGHT - MMZH IXTAPA-ZIHUATANEJO INTL AIRPORT MSFS2020 I purchased the above addon from Sim Market a few days ago, and had noticed some of the ground textures on default asobo taxiways etc had turned pink. ( Asobo EDDFwas a classic example) I have since found out from the guys over on the MSFS forum this is due to the original files being over written by a program, i spent most of the day removing and checking all my free ware, no difference, then onto the payware.. and there was no change at all until the above addon was removed to prove the issue lay there, and re-installed to make sure it returned when installed. Just hope i can save some oth…

Has anyone tried this? I had TrackIr for years and did not like using it. Since I've been having some issues with setting up custom cams I was thinking about getting the ap.

Sure would like to use the GTN 750 in MSFS 2020. Does anyone know if the ASOBO team would consider that possibility? John

When I start the sim and go to cockpit view, I do not touch the zoom feature using the mouse I see zoom is set at 40. Is this realistic? Using this sometimes trying to see runways signage is quit impossible. If I point the aircraft right at the sign and then zoom in you can disguinsh what it says. When flying GA in real life, I can see the sign. Not sure if zoom as to be set deiferently

There was a total solar eclipse over South America earlier today. The centre was located at 40° 43’S 64° 59’ W. Totality started at 16:43, ended at 16:45 UT. I don’t know if there is an airport close but enter those coordinates into a plan and fly over that position at that time and upload pics showing the sun and moon. Let’s see how accurate the astronomical data is. This is the path of totality. https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/2020-december-14

Hello... something is wrong with my ai planes. It does not depend of the airport. Here, in EBBR, they are floating or buried like in EDDK. So...maybe someone could help me? The only plane that is not floating is the 747. could it be because i use A330 for MSFS and 321? thanks!

Is there a designated forum for discussing the Skypark & Skypad add on?

Hey everyone, So... i want to plan my flights in Sim brief or any flight planning software using live weather. How do I achieve that using metoblue's weather in MSFS ? Every time, I plan a flight the winds/clouds not to mention visibility are exact opposite to what is in the Metar. I am using mostly high altitude planes.. including A320N FBW. Am I being forced to buy aftermarket weather mods to get this like Active Sky in P3D ? or do any of you nice chaps here have a trick, or i have to resort to checking metoblue app and running the numbers in Simbrief like I do for now ? Cheers Matt

Anyone else using the Flybywire latest DEV mod where many times the ILS name is not displayed in the MCDU and also the wrong course is displayed ? I am talking about the DEV mode not the STABLE

As we are used to have some updates on Tuesdays, although it was not mentioned anywhere, are we expecting any update, today ? Thanks.

Hello, since a few days my quickviews and custom cameras are not working anymore. Neither with the keybord bindings nor with the TM Warthog. Only the toolbar is working. I made a fresh install of MSFS, but that did not solve the Problem. Can anyone help me??? Kind regards Andreas

Hi Guys, Started my IR around three hours ago and were coming onto ADF tracking in the simulator. ive seen some external g1000 simulators like mindstar and im assuming its accurate. i.e. showing a dip angle when turning and then when wings level the ADF needle comes back which ever way you're turning. just curious does the FS2020 g1000 have the dip behaviour implemented?. many thanks, Bill.

Hello All, I am posting this to maybe help some one who is struggling with their new 3090 and not achieving the results that they were anticipating with the new card purchase that I thought was becoming a huge waste of money on my part. I had a 1080ti that ran the new sim fairly well and after getting on a contact list with EVGA, I was finally notified that they had a 3090 Ultra that I could purchase in a certain time frame that I jumped on right away. I had thought about the 3080 which is a lot less money, but I did not think that 10 gig of memory was enough. My 1080TI was 11 gig and I only wanted to up from that amount. I was not initially impressed with my new card an…
