    I’ve just updated GSX and every time I select an option (jetway, stairs, pushback etc) it crashes GSX. It’s completely unusable. I’ve flagged it along with many others on the GSX forums. However another strange thing that’s happened since updating GSX is that my customisation settings in PMDG 777have changed. I discovered this when I couldn’t turn the aircraft with rudder pedals and the control settings in the menu had changed (I’d not done anything to PMDG settings at all). Could the GSX update and PMDG issues be linked?

    I have not flown to KPDX airport in a long time and yesterday I noticed black lines on the river and even on parts of the FB KPDX. This was one of my favorite destinations and it's sad to see that it has been ruined by an update or maybe something else. Has anyone been able to nail down why this happens? Here's a long thread on the issue: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/black-lines-in-the-water/443618?page=2

    I came across this issue lately with Cessna 172 on MSFS2020. Both elevator and aileron axis are functional before the engine starts. But once I switched on the engine the the Ailerons stop functioning. I then changed the aircraft type to Cessna 172 G1000 where I can see both axis fully functional. I've already calibrated my Honeycomb yoke in WIndows 11. Also I reverted all the control back to default settings in MSFS2020. Unfortunately, the issue is still persists. Please refer to the following clip. You can hear AP engaging sound around 0:15 mark then yoke starts turning to right without any input. Thanks

  6. Hi All As some of you will have seen from my post yesterday I’m experimenting with SI vs my usual BATC setup. Quick question - on BATC you can use auto respond and tune for longer flights if you are AFK - is this possible with SI? Thanks Matt

    Close to ESGP Säve are some VOR BAK 112.7 and NOL 113.2. But when I at ESGP tune in them the CDI does not react. The needles are not affected. I have made sure I am in NAV mode not GPS mode and the engine is running. Have tried several aircraft. Neither can I here the morse code from them. But in the GPS the tuned frequency correctly list the VOR name together with distance and bearing to it. Also in the VFR map I see the VOR station. So why can't I use them with the CDI ? Could also mention that in P3DV5.5 everything works as expected. What's going on here ?

    Made the (apparent) mistake of purchasing this in the MSFS2020 Marketplace (rather then IniBuilds directly). Working fine in 2020 but in 2024 I see this...any thoughts please...iniBuilds is not answering me on their forum as yet.

  10. Announcement from WT: "Nav Data Cycle 2503 has gone live in MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024, and at planner.flightsimulator.com. In addition, we now have LIDO SIDPT charts available! If you are looking for the SIDPT charts from within the MSFS 2024 EFB Flight Planner App, they will appear under the MISC category instead of the DEPARTURE category at this time. This will be updated to move them to the correct category some time during the upcoming SU2 beta. We have also overhauled the web planner top level interface, in order to better utilize space and give a tighter user experience, as well as fixed a few bugs along the way, including some PLN import bugs with enroute airport w…

    Anyone figure out how to get the nav lights working on traffic with aig or fsltl for MSFS 2024?

  12. I thought I understood how to use ATC/ATIS because I never had a problem in 2020. In FS 2024 / Steam Beta I select "tune ATIS" for the airport in question but I see no crawl at the bottom of the screen and I hear no voice speaking the report. I then manually tune the ATIS channel on both radios but hear nothing Surely I am doing something dumb to disable the visual display and voice output but I don't know what I have done. This happens in all my GA aircraft. HELP!

    While I try to make my mind regarding the INI A350...

  14. With FS2020 I used to have an add-on that "localized" airport equipment, e.g. jetways, tow trucks, etc, and I just cannot remember the name of that add-on. No, it wasn't GSX. This add-on came in varieties for the continents. Mine was for Europe. I would like to know the name of that add-on and find out if this one is available for FS2024 as well. Any help, suggestion, advise will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Hans

  15. Hello all, Long story short, purchased MSFS2020 on Steam when it came out, played mostly over lockdown like probably every simmer was, but only a year later realised my hard drive space was filling up and it just wasn't suited, so I uninstalled and decided to wait until I get a new PC which I was going to do at somepoint anyway. So new PC arrives, I have a 4TB Corsair SSD drive for it to go on, but then I read how MSFS2024 is progressing and then I find out when it's due, so I think I'll hold back...but I won't buy it on day 1 either, I never buy big releases on day 1, I hold back let everything crash and crumble then I'll come back after the storm, but having delved…

    Hello. I just recently purchased Rex Atmos and I cannot get the app full screened. It is always windowed so the lower menus are partially visible/clickable. Any ideas? Thank you

  18. I see Drzewiecki Design had released an updated version of Washington Landmarks MSFS V2. Looks to be compatible with MSFS2020/MSFS2024. Just wondering if it's worth the price to upgrade from the original version. Note: There is no discount for previous owners of V1. To accommodate, Drzewiecki Design has lowered the price of V2.

    Since yesterday, I have had three CTDs when starting MSFS 2020, and I have had two CTDs in the last three and a half years, so something changed. The only thing I did was update the FSLTL AI and install the Brazil scenery. I suspect it was one or the other. I am going to try to uninstall the Brazil scenery, and if that doesn't cure it, it must be something in the FSLTL, which I am not sure how to fix.

    During my last two flights i’ve found out something weird in the ifly 737 max. On the left wiper there was another left wiper so there was two wipers on the left. And when ı was in the wing view i saw that there were 2 wings on the left on top of each other 1 wing was standing still the other was folding normally. Is anyone having the same problem?

    Some time ago I imported a Simbrief flight plan via SimBrief Dispatch and sent it to ATC. Now every single GA aircraft that I select inherits this registration (OY-ELL). Before that, registration used to be dynamic, depending on where I was flying. Now I always get OY-ELL, no matter what I do. I tried importing a different SimBrief flight plan but it did not help. Also, entering a registration in flight plan tab does nothing. Where is this reg written, does anybody know? How do I get rid of it? Thanks!

  23. I did not change anything and all looked good but now after this past weekend i have pink textures at airports. Removed community ad ons and it happens at stock airports. Anyone else?
