  2. Having this issue where my fps is at a solid 60 (with vsync on, with it off it's at 76'ish) but my mouse look (and also TrackIR) is micro-stuttering. Not all the time, but enough to be very noticeable and annoying. When these stutters happen, FPS is still good and frametime also looks fine. Using dev console's FPS view to check these. So it's not framedrops or long-frame-times causing them. Very strange. Also worth noting that the plane controls smoothly without any stutters at all, it's literally just the mouse-look and TrackIR suffering from that. Tried it in planes with the G1000 and those with the steam gauges, but it happens across the board. Clear weather, rain…

    Hello, Asking those with working live weather. Do you too suffer from violent changes of wind direction and speeds? I was just cruising over the alps and the TBM almost flipped upside down as the wind changed from around 25 knots to about 90 knots in the blink of an eye. This happens to me quite frequently and makes flying quite uncomfortable. Any opinions? Best regards

    I am really enjoying flying to different places in the variety of GA aircraft. I do wish this weather would be a priority in the next update, because the last two flights I have had the ATIS says heavy rain, and it ain't doing squat. Clear skys partly cloudy. May install P3Dv4.5 on my other drive until they get MSFS figured out.

    The sim for me have been running very smoothly since launch, no CTD experience what so ever. But today i launch the sim and it is crashing to desktop almost everytime im trying to load in somewhere near big airports or autogen crowded areas. It just crashes without any error msg. Anyone else experience this?

    Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 Win 10 will not open after "Select Any Key"

  10. Using the Windows store version since release, premium deluxe content was working for me -- until today. It is still shown as installed and owned, but in the content manager, it shows no details anymore. Aircraft are not shown in aircraft selection screen, and detailed premium airports don't show up. Seems other users are affected, too (https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/content-disappeared/232785/7), and I've reported to Zendesk, but out of curiosity, I'd like to know if there are more users here who have the same problem -- premium content working previously, but not anymore?

    Has anyone reported the runway 14 defect for CYOW? Anyone planning a flight from CYOW and assigned 14 for departure will most likely experience a plane crash due to colliding with an object. There is a line on the pavement that causes a collision and it's flight over.

    Hello, I have brakes, both left and right set to joystick trigger button (Logitech X-52 Professional) and it works, but there is about a second worth of delay before brakes take effect and braking action starts. This also happens visually. When I press the brakes, the pedals in VC twitch a bit and then gradually go down. This makes speed control rather difficult and unpredictable. Is anyone else experiencing this or know of a solution?

    No matter what settings I choose, Ultra or High, the markings, like the numbers or dashes on my runways, are blurry. I was wondering what might cause that? The rest of the sim around me looks fine. Lee

    I've done a couple flights recently where I've put the plane into AP and turned on the sim rate. Within seconds the plane is pitching up and down as the AP tries to keep the plane in level flight. Of course, this isn't happening normally. It gets so bad that eventually the AP cuts off. Normal? If so only restricted to this or a few planes? Because I can't image why have the ability to increase the sim rate when it causes this to happen....so is it a bug and needs reporting?

  16. In my opinion, either flight controls should remain active during Showcase/Drone camera mode or entering Showcase mode should automatically enable active pause. The sim caused me to crash yesterday (or my ignorance of it) and it had to do with me getting tangled up in the camera system and the fact that the keypad <End> and <Ins> are different than the other ones or at least they can be dependent upon whether NumLock is active. For some reason on my system, pressing the Numpad 1 key causes the airplane to nosedive when in Showcase/Drone mode even though there doesnt seem to be any flight control tied to that except elevator trim adjust and that shouldn't…

    For all those heroes tweaking the Airbus and perhaps they will target the 747 next and addons in general: The possibility to turn OFF the duplicate copilot MFDs, FMS or Garmin. This would save a lot of fps and improve performance. Right now they are all on without a switch to turn them off

  19. I installed some 3rd party content via Orbx Central and the Contrail app that LatinVFR and Flightbeam are using. Should these items appear in the Content Manager in the sim or is this just for 1st party content? Is there any way in the GUI to see what add-ons are installed if they weren't purchased from the marketplace?

    I know this is not Steam or Microsoft or Asorbo but I would like to play Flightsim 2020. At first, I bought Premium deluxe a couple days ago and everything was fine. But today I was missing planes in the menu. When I went to choose the B787 it wasnt available. I check the web for solutions but none have help me to resolved it. So I decided to uninstall and reinstall and no success. It seems to install the Deluxe not the Premium Deluxe which I purchase. I dont know why it does that. I followed the Instructions in Steam, here, and anywhere theres help. Sadly nothing has resolve the issue. I was wondering if someone knows anything or knows what I can do to r…

    Hi everyone. 🙂 In these days I have visited many videos of FS2020 in flight with the liners. There is a doubt that disturbs me. Why FS2020 blurred scenery? 🙄 They look like FS2004. I have saved some screenshots from different videos (click on the images for enlarge details). The scenery is conspicuously blurry at high altitude! A premise, it is not my intention to make premature controversies at FS2020. But this story has left me a little perplexed, I didn't expect to see again "FS9 blurry" in a modern simulator. I am currently still flying with FS9 (yes, I'm an old romantic simmer), and also with Xplane11. I made some scr…
