  2. Apologies for asking this if already answered, but I wasnt quite sure where to look. I just zipped over to Glasgow, Montana for a weather approach. Skyvector shows published RNAV and Vor approaches. But neither of the approaches show up in the King Air. I also tried to just navigate directly to the VOR, but the frequency never came alive even sitting on the airport itself. I know that in the early days of the Xplane 11 releases, a subscription to navigraph helped fill in some of these holes. So does navigraph work with MSF2020 ?

  4. I installed pilot2atc today and got it to connect to FS2020 but when I use the "say it" feature to say something to ATC I don't get any response. I have a flight plan which I also imported to FS2020 and pilot2atc is showing the green indicator at the bottom left to indicate that the simulated aeroplane in FS2020 is running etc. I have not tried to use my voice, only the say it feature. I tried several phrases including the "ready to copy" one which I've seen several people started with but I have not had any response on any of the phrases that I tried.

    Anyone seeing a problem with the Garmin gauges freezing up? When flying the Longitude I noticed on approach to KFLL the Garmin PFD totally freeze up until I was on short final then is sorted itself out. I thought it could have been caused by me going into the menu after FS2020 randomly shut off downloaded scenery in which I had to turn it back on. Today on a flight from KFFC to CYVR I had a similar experience. The Garmin PFD partially froze up leaving the artificial horizon working but the speed and altitude tapes were frozen. No other gauges in the cockpit is doing this just the PFD display.

    Please excuse me in advance if this has been reported before. I decided to take off from Palm Beach, Florida (KPBI) for a flight to Grand Bahama. If you look at the map on the attached screenshot, you will see this should have been an "interesting" flight with difficult weather, clouds and thunderstorms. SCREENSHOT I was happy, this was what I was looking for. So I clicked "Fly" and when I arrived in the aircraft for takeoff, the sky was totally blue, shining sun, no cloud, no thunderstorm and no wind... Why was the weather so different? (I fly in live so with actual weather)

    Downloading a new install of MSFS, but the speed is 0.5 Mbits/s. My internet is 16000 Mbits/s. I wish they would sort their servers out.

    Hi all, I've recently decided to give this mod a go, however I have run into trouble straight off the bat. Basically all the screens are blank and I can’t seem to power them up. I have downloaded directly off them and I believe it’s called V2 at the moment. I also have the flyby wire mod for the a320 which is helping tide me over until the more complex airliners are available. I am just wondering if I am missing something with the CJ4? Battery is on, avionics on, started the engines and still can’t seem to get any power to the screens, including standby instrument, FMS, Primary displays. is it a bug or is it me? Many thanks, Anthony

    I am pretty sure its new with this patch as i didn't see it before. Any plane with nose prop making the the textures behind it super pixelated. Not blurry but pixelated. I can bet its the new TAA Most noticeable when the sun is at the tail hitting the prop from behind.

    Hey guys I went into developer mode and brought up the fps window and now even when I leave developer mode it is stuck on. Went back into dev mode and closed it up again when I return to regular flight it appears. Is there a hot key I may have pressed to make it show up,????? Not sure what happened.

    I did a reset of my sim that turned out to be unnecessary, and in the process lost all of my custom views for each plane. I thought it would be the cameras.cfg in each plane folder, but that didn't restore my saved views. Does anyone know specifically what needs to be backed up in this regard?

    Having trouble getting the freeware Monument Valley to show up in my sim. What setting do I need to increase to get it to show up? Another thing I've notice is with scenery like this the sim load times is much slower. Has anyone seen this result on load times. Thanks in advance for any advice on this.

    Hey everyone. I have downloaded Robert Young’s mod for the G36 bonanza from nexus. When I open the sim, all of the liveries are showing but when I select one and begin, it loads up the default. I had trouble downloading and finally downloaded the file to my desktop, extracted, and then manually placed in the Msfs 2020 community file. Anyone have any ideas or could steer me toward a good tutorial. Thanks.

  17. Informing users that Pushback Express Express has been updated to Version 1.4. Last week we added Voice Control as an option... This week we added the ability to directly control the MSFS Ground Service vehicles. You can control the service vehicles directly or you can run an automated "Pre-Flight Events" script which automatically controls the ground service vehicles in the form of a timeline to simulate pre-pushback events. It's a free update. Enjoy 😉

    Using the MSFS World Map I can set up a flight plan via picking the Departure & Arrival airports. I can also click on any airports along the way, & 'Add' them to the flight plan. However, what i would like to do, but so far haven't figured out how to, is to 'Add' to the flight plan items such as POI's. So the flight plan may zig zag somewhat but it would take me over places I want to see. Any way to add in POI's or general scenery, such as a mountain top, into the MSFS flight plan? Thanks T45

  19. Even though my internet connection is stable and active I have gotten this message twice now in flight? Is this a MS server side issue? Has anyone else seen this? @ 150/35 Mbps

    Does anyone know if things like the speed the ai planes taxi on the runway can be changed? I like that ai use the high speed turn offs for runways but often times it takes a while for them to exit. This extra time makes for other ai need to go around. If the slow taxi speed could be increased, the need for go arounds would be decreased quite a bit.

  21. The default 747-8i engine sounds are horrifically weak and inaccurate. Is anyone working on an engine sound mod for it? If not, what is involved in making an engine sound mod for fs2020? Are there any open source previous gen sounds that could be imported?

    Is this how the lights on the NAV gauges should be at night? The NAV lights just turns on the lights of the clock. I have to turn on the cabin lights to see what I have on this image. Thats it? Here is how it is on a real 172. Various night lighting. https://medium.com/@BradNewtonTV/im-learning-how-to-fly-at-night-in-a-cessna-172-29e693518964

  24. Just released at Simarket : https://secure.simmarket.com/john-dowson-fsuipc7-for-msfs.phtml So far I need it for my VrInsight mPanel but the free version could be enough. Not to mention I want to support Pete and John. During the first phase of the Beta I use FSUIPC to manage my joystick but lastly everything is now controlled inside MSFS. I'm not using LUA and advanced programming facilities (yet). Are you using advanced features ?
