  1. Started by versus,

    Flying Cessna 152 after the latest update felt really good in ground effect. Floating with slight power adjustments to grease the landing, having proper feedback from the plane. Like mass and inertia have been improved. Felt better than X-plane for the first time. Also water, even with light wind seems to have slight ripples and some wave effects around the protruded parts of coastline. Maybe I am under influence of the overall improvements and nothing new is introduced, but I really felt good about aircraft handling after the last USA update.

    Has anyone tried the bush trips since the latest update? I stopped doing the Yosemite trip as there was a bug where the sim wouldn't recognise that each leg had been completed. I can't see anything in the release notes but Asobo have released another bush trip with the US update? So does that mean they're fixed? I can't try it for a couple of days, hence the question. Thanks.

    After the update, autopilot disconnects mid flight and will no longer hold altitude or respond to vs. same problem mod or default.

  5. As we all need to stat many addons or applications together with MSFS, here is you can find a very easy way to make Win 10 Batch File which helps you to open as many apps as you want with a single icon. It is very easy to make and very useful . For example, starting FSUIPC,ATC Addon, Weather Addon,and many more...Here is the link for thisto learn : https://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-and-run-batch-file-windows-10 And you can search the web for more info... Additionally, MSFSAddonsLinker https://flightsim.to/file/1572/msfs-addons-linker have similar options in the new version to do this, as well. Happy flying.

    After being disappointed with MSFS after I first downloaded it, I left it for a while to continue using P3D. But, after hearing so many rave reviews about the appearance of the sim, I thought I'd give it another go. Wow, how disappointed I was. I started a flight from Newark and decided to fly over Manhattan. This is following a left hand turn out of Newark. Is this really how bridges are depicted?! How awful https://imgur.com/a/IfVHxwU Approaching Manhattan from the South West. Since when did it look like this?! https://imgur.com/a/YbYIpVG And then this awful depiction of NYC https://imgur.com/a/rDtpiqx I was shocked and disappointed. What a compl…

  7. Flying today in the 747, I was on final and...there was a warning on the display. Landing gear not down. But the lever shows down. So I lifted it up and put them out again, the warning never went away. It was the middle of the night so I couldn't switch to an exterior view (not something a pilot could do anyways) so I had no choice but to continue. I landed but had no thrust reversers and not too much in the way of steering. I stomped on the brakes and was able to drag it to a halt. I used to get this in older versions, is it possible some kink in the code ended up carrying over?

    Can anyone help explain to me the autothrottle in the 787? I have it armed, and the A/T button is lit up, but still I have to control the throttle manually. Am I missing something? Or is this another "undocumented feature?"

  9. I downloaded and installed the update, updated my graphics driver and also ensured Windows was current. Now it gets to about halfway across the loading bar, the music cuts out and it crashes to desktop. Over the last few days I have installed FSUIPC7 as well as Mobiflight. It was working perfectly before tonight's update. I checked my community folder and it is empty. Anyone having a similar issue, or have any suggestions? UPDATE/FIX: I uninstalled FSUIPC7 and it continued to load.

    I completed a 90 minute flight after the update, screwing around as I flew. I did configure an almost direct flight plan, point A to point B with just one interim fix. Then I screwed around sightseeing by executing out of NAV mode and flying freehand, then back to NAV, and so on a few times. Selected and activated an approach. Went according to Hoyle. Landed, Taxied up to ground crew, shut down. Nothing. So exited to main menu and check logbook in profile. Priceless. Had both departure and destination airports correct, no "vicinity" issue, the landing was logged. Blow me down, sailor! Blow me down! I must have had me spinach! I have completed 44 flights in…

    Oh dear, another dog's dinner! I've just downloaded the latest update, only an hour ago, and already there are problems with the camera views in the VC. They don't work! Zilch, nada, nothing. I can't move around the cockpit with the keyboadr arrows. Is anyone else experiencing this?

  13. I checked out Monument Valley and was wondering if it might be possible to liven up the scenery there. For example, there could be a couple Camping vehicles parked around, with tents out and a lit campfire, and kids playing badminton, or guys fishing in a nearby river. Is it possible?

    Hey guys, Not a huge issue but is anyone else getting quite blurry lights on the runway? I'm running across three screens so wondering if this is distorting things - although doing the same in xplane and they're a lot crisper.

    We have an update today so clear out your community folder to avoid potential issues. And before anyone says “that doesn’t matter...” Asobo mentioned this specifically on the last update.

  19. With the USA update of MSFS I thought I would give the app a try (I see it updated my hometown of San Diego, CA). So I just purchased it via the MS Store (not Steam). Transaction OK, a window popped up s to where I wish to install? But appears I have an error message saying: "It looks like you don’t have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account. To install, sign in on a device with your Microsoft account." Isn't my PC an applicable device? The Message gives me two choices 'CANCEL' or 'INSTALL NOW' but Install now is grayed out? I have me MS Account open and it indeed shows my order. Below the error message is does have a 'Get More info' li…

    Hi there Has anyone else noticed their GPU runs at max whenever you are any of the Home / Menu screens? My 2080 Super runs at about 40- 60 % whenever I am flying and gives me a great smooth performance but whenever I go back to the menu screens it constantly runs at 100% and the temp goes thru the roof. I am running my ASUS PG279Q monitor at 144Hz, Gsync on, no frame limiter, and Vsync off in the sim. Have tried changing each of these settings but no difference. It’s weird - can’t think what the GPU is having to deal with on the menu screens? Donald

  23. Hello folks, I have noticed an issue which I am not sure what is it exactly, for example whenever I start a flight, the FPS looks to be good, however after sometime, especially upon landing on third party airports, the fps will drastically go down, the VRAM will be filled up and I will be GPU Limted . However if you start at the same airport as new flight, FPS will be on check. Has anybody noticed such as issue? I am pretty sure, this issue was present before patch #5.

  24. Comcast to impose home internet data cap of 1.2TB in more than a dozen US states next year After customers hit the threshold, they’ll be charged $10 per 50GB up to $100 https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2020/11/23/21591420/comcast-cap-data-1-2tb-home-users-internet-xfinity wonder how much this will affect streamming this sim with a lot of flying? Time to take away the kids, Ipads, cell phones, and PS4..! Dad needs GB's for his sim!!!
