  2. Does anyone have any experience with this. I have KDEN by Flightbeam, installed, but the Asobo version is also installed. Has someone ever actually deleted one of the Asobo versions from Content Manager? It that what we're supposed to do? I haven't had any conflicts yet, but I'm just wondering if loading a third party addon simply automatically disables the existing one, or should I actually remove it from content manager. Thanks in advance

    Hello I have a problem to adjust my A320 throttle levers via Fsuipc7 for my A-320 Flightbox V2 from Throttletek. I made the settings in the Windows 10 game controller, then in Fsuipc7, but I have a big gap between the 2 controllers that I cannot rectify. Would it be possible for you to help me. Thank you in advance

    In process of installing the 10 DVD set. 1st 3 DVD's installed with no problem. When I inserted the 4th DVD into the reader and cllicked OK, I get this error message: "Setup could not find a file on the specified path or disk. Please check that the proper disk is inserted or specify a new path." I have verified that the correct DVD 4 is in the drive and ejected and re inserted the DVD several times, still get the same message. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

  9. I have noticed over the past few updates and so far consistent for me that when flying the A320NX on a flight plan with an ILS approach into a payware airport like KMIA, KSAN, or KPDX, that the ILS is not captured. In a smaller aircraft, I would be putting in the frequency but with the flightplan loaded in the airbus, shouldn't be required. I have flown ILS approaches plenty of time with the A320 into stock airports just fine. Is there a database or something not getting updated when the payware airports are installed that doesn't allow for the ILS frequency to be populated in the MCDU. Has anyone else experienced this with there payware airport addons?

    I purchased the Orbx Sydney scenery and have tried several times to land the Icon A5 on the water under the bridge. Each time I try the programme stops and tells me that I failed to lower the landing gear. Am I wrong in thinking that it would be fatal to lower the landing gear for a water landing or am I being stupid?

    I've been having this issue lately where the clouds in my new MFS2020 sim just dissapears and re-appears in milliseconds and does that over and over again!! It started right after an update. Can't remember which, but it was when the lights looked x-plane like and when a lot of people had to do a re-install. I have re-installed 5 times now to no use. It's from steam btw. It's so annoying and makes the game unplayable. Please! Is there anybody out there that can help me with this!?!?!? I've made a youtube video if you want to see it in action( or some pictures below) : -Cgaming365 MFS cloud problem by Cgaming365, on Flickr …

  14. I installed the latest update to MSFS a couple of days ago. When I look at the "Content Manager", I noticed that although the Mandatory Core Content showed as being Up To Date after the update download, all of the installed aircraft and airports all show "Newer game version required to update". I closed the program and restarted it just to see, if with the updated program installed, the installed aircraft and airports would automatically update. That did not work. My question is, how do you get the installed add-ons updated?

    I was trying some flights out of small local airports this afternoon that have full RNAV procedures yet in MSFS 2020 they are not available to select as approaches. I tried to input the actual waypoints of the approach but they could not be found. The approach I was trying was RNAV RWY 18 at CYQA (Muskoka Airport) I thought MSFS 2020 was supposed to have the latest NAVDATA, In X-Plane 11 I think I am still on version 1812 and I can still enter all the route points manually of the RNAV approach Am I missing something ?

    Suddenly, the voice of the ATC from the control tower (not the pilot's) has become very weak, practically inaudible. This has happened suddenly and it does not change with the VHF signal degradation (ON / OFF). What could have happened? Has the same thing happened to someone else? Thank you in advance.

    I'm using Roberts Bonanza mod and the Working Title G1000 mod, both latest versions. When taking off and climbing out at 1000ft /min I pre-set the autopilot to VS at +1000 vertical climb and select autopilot, but selecting the A/P seems to deselect VS mode and the aircraft aggressively levels off. What is the correct procedure to achieve a smooth transition from a manually flown 1000ft/min climb to VS in autopilot mode ?

  24. I purchased three, KPDX and KSBA, and both are missing the ILS frequencies accessible thru the MFD's Airport Info, Frequencies page. All the default airports I've flown into all over the world contain these and you can select them and make them Active as you know for your ILS approaches. As a test, I deleted KPDX Flightbeam, so the default KPDX then becomes active and ILS frequencies appear as they should. I zendesked this several weeks ago, they tagged it as SOLVED, and yet despite reinstalling KPDX Flightbeam just two days ago to see if they communicated this missing data field to Flightbeam, but for whatever reason the ILS frequencies remain missing. If you're …
