    After one of the last updates it seems that all the extra liveries that come with the sim have disappeared. When I click the "Liveries" button all I see is the "Default" livery. Again, I am talking about the liveries that come with the sim. I have done no editing at all to the Official folder in the sim. They were there at one time but no have just disappeared for some reason.

  2. Greetings! I've been trying this little freeware app, and I have a question: The red dots on the left of the mission listings are indicative of whether or not your plane is capable of doing the mission. But often the green dot missions require me to carry more load than the plane is capable of. I cant see a way to split a mission up, or am I just missing something? Do the green and red dots mean something else? As you can see, I cant get the mission to start because the payload and pax are showing red. Not sure what to do? Edit: I see that Neofly expect the C172 with g1000 to carry 854 lbs for this mission, and thinks that is ok (green d…

    I had never flown IFR in MSFS (did it lots in FSX) so I thought I'd try a short flight, from LaGuardia to Kennedy, about 10 miles. ATC had me bouncing around like crazy, including having me climb all the way up to 18,000 feet! At times the instructions to change altitudes were coming so fast (up, down, up down, up, up, down down down down, whatever) that I couldn't begin to react to one before the next came in! Very different than trying to fly IFR in FSX where they gave you instructions what to do, I was largely left hanging.

    Seriously, every landing I try to nail end up in a total failure. Over to Xplane 11 - Zibo 737. Perfect buttery landings everytime. Back to FS2020 - chaos. It can't be a matter of "getting used to". This kills the entire joy for me. How are your landings? Talking about the airliners now in general and A320 in particular. Granted, I am used to 737 from Xplane but come on...the A320 behaves like flying brick.

    Does anyone else have issues where this will suddenly read as 0 and the autopilot will nose dive because it thinks it needs to build speed. Then the indicator will go back to normal and the airplane will be over speeding. Any idea what this could be?

  7. Yesterday I completed a Lower 48 States cross country flight which consisted of a touch n go or a full stop in each of the 48 states. My Human copilot and I departed from California on 10/12 and flew around 7300 miles. Mostly in the Cessna Caravan however my human was getting impatient and we eventually bought a TBM 930 to do the western states. I wish I could plug all my way points in to LittleNavMap and show you the route we took but because it like to place closest destinations first and not necessary in he order u want it would not make sense. As Far as we know we are the first Cat and Human to do a Lower 48 CC flight in MSFS 2020 and thus we claim Firstie…

  8. The WorkingTitle G3000 mod v0.2.0 Full Release is now live. The full release contains some bug fixes for issues reported with the pre-releases, so if you are still on v0.2.0-pre1 or -pre2 make sure to update. You can grab it at Github here: https://github.com/Working-Title-MSFS-Mods/fspackages/releases/tag/g3000-v0.2.0 The file you want is called “workingtitle-g3000-v0.2.0.zip”. Some release highlights for v0.2.0: The G3000 mod is now integrated with the WorkingTitle ecosystem! This has allowed the addition of the following features: Certain G3000 settings (including all newly added ones) are now saved across flights. SVT toggle for the…

  9. Hey, guys! Already created such topic in MS forum wish list. But please, support me in my wish. I believe that a very important thing is missing in the sim such as camera shake in the cockpit. At the moment an airplane just nicely and smoothly runs the taxiways, runways. But in reality there are no perfect surfaces at the airports... Cracks, runway lightings make an airplane shake. Just watch any cockpit video, you will notice how the pilots are jumping in their seats during take off roll or landing. I think this feature should add a lot of realism and immersion into the sim. I remember when FSX got EZDOK plugin which added the camera shake. That was an a…

  10. Completed a flight from Kansas City to Bloomington, Indiana, today. The weather was way off. Two hours of constant thunder and lightening and no reported TRW from stations enroute. There had been rain along the path. 12 hours before I flew. So shelled out for REX Weather Force. Have read it may not be perfect, but it has to be $20 better! Now will someone work on cloud textures? I was mostly on top at 11,000 and the clouds looked like spools of cotton candy. Oh, and by the way. As someone with tons of weather experience... there are rarely if ever thunderstorms with tops below 11,000.....

    How to make adjustment of custom views less sensitive in the cockpit? Also, why the second press on the custom view button always returns POV to some default reference position? Is it possible to disable that? Thanks.

    In case of activation of FS2020 with game pass, for a period of one month if I understand correctly, is there any other type of limitation for the number of hours or flights applied to this form of use of the simulator? And if you want to switch to the definitive license, in particular the Premium Deluxe, should you do a further download and a new installation, or just a simple activation of the purchased license? Thanks for the clarifications

    I just noticed that the photogrammetry option under "data" is grayed out. Does that mean it is disabled and unable to be activated or that it is enabled and unable to be deactivated?

  15. Good evening! As the title says...i was asking myself if it is possible to assign the "whatever it is called" mixture/condition lever in the TBM as i find it quite uncomfortable to adjust it with the mouse. And if yes, which command would that be? Thanks in advance! 🙂

  16. Just fired up MSFS after a decent hiatus from Prepar3d and FS. I notice that distant land textures being blurry and popping in when very close is still and issue. Also trees seem to do the same. I have 9900k overclocked at 5.2 and 64 GB memory and an RTX Titan. None seem to be maxed out at 100%. I have all settings set to ultra and running a single monitor at 4K. are there ways to tweak this to make the LOD radius of detail better? My frame rates seem excellent but just the blurry textures and popping in (things that drove me nuts in the past) still seem present. Thanks, Jason

    Hi everyone. I am brand new to both MSFS and flying in general. Built a beast new computer to handle it. I have been watching the tutorial videos on Yo9uTube produced by Squirrel. In tutorial 3 he is talking about cameras. He shows that when you press the END key you move to the external camera view. In his video, in addition to the airplane view, you get a display of some of the instrument controls. When I press the END key I get the airplane view but no instruments. What am I missing here? Thanks ....... P.S. So far I can only stay airborne for about 30 seconds because I don't know what I'm doing yet :-).

    Perhaps we will all have noticed that the Community folder is becoming loaded with scenery, airport additions and liveries, etc. This giving an increased loading time - mine currently is 15 minutes to the Press any button to continue! I have two questions: 1/ Is it possible to have subfolders in the Community folder for example, scenery for a particular area, or a town or airport - allowing MSFS to function as it should taking items from the subfolders? 2/ when MSFS is running, is it possible to add in/take out items in the Community folder without it affecting the running of MSFS (will it populate/depopulate as necessary? With no management system in…

    I just saw that Orbx has released Gothenburg for MSFS. It seems to me that the discount of 20% for previous P3D owners is a bit on the lean side. I am saying this in comparison to many other developers. For example, LatinVFR offered the KBDL for free to owners of the P3D version. I thought they used to offer 40% for bundle discounts, such as X-Plane product if you had the P3D version. This just seems odd to me. Cheers, Pete

  24. By which I primarily mean all of the Zibo-style groups that have sprung up to dedicate tons of time to improving and deepening not just the aircraft, but even the world itself. I can count something like four different projects off the top of my head, working on various default aircraft. And then you've got the people creating terrain enhancements, or painstakingly correcting errors (such as the person who "fixed" hundreds of anti-gravity lakes and streams in Alaska). I don't really have a profound point to make here - it's just heartening to see how people have gotten down to work, doing what they can to elevate parts of the default product. You folks are her…

  25. First of all this post is not meant as a political post , Its meant to discuss whether or not MS and ASOBO purposely and incompletely rendered The White House and the U.S. Capitol building.(And Yes I know there is a 3rd party addon to fix this) If you haven't seen both for yourselves to top 90 percent or more of both buildings are missing and they end in completely flat surfaces. Its almost as if construction in real life had stopped and never resumed. Its odd because as far as I could tell all the other major buildings in DC were complete in at least their height and dimensions. Like the pentagon and the Lincoln Memorial and the Smithsonian buildings.. I did not see…
