  2. I have Premium Deluxe so Market Place only shows me aircraft I already own. It never shows me anything that I do not already have. When I click on Airports, Activites, Miscellaneous - I see a spinning circle and nothing ever happens. I monitor Network activity and there is NONE, no send/no receive, when I try to do anything useful in Market Place. Am I expecting too much here?

  3. I tried numerous possible settings, but nothing seems to return the view to the default Pilot view in the cockpit. My old yoke had one button that would switch from external to internal but now I'm not sure what the binding is.

  4. Hello, I have a two monitor setup, my main for the sim and a second smaller one for Navigraph charts, BATC etc. I've run into an issue where the sound changes when I clock on my second monitor. The sound still plays, but id sounds different as if it's subject to different sound settings or something like this. I've had this happen before, and was eventually able to fix it, but unfortunately can't remember what i did!🤦‍♂️ As far as I can see, all of my apps are set to the same device (Logitech speakers). I tagged this as both sims since it has happened in both (no other programs that I know of though). Can anyone help?

  5. I got updated at log-in in MSFS 2020, but my version is still 1.38.2. Is this right and why? I also have no plans to updating any scenery for Brazil yet. Do I have to install the Brazil update to update the version number?

    Is the MSFS 2024 Dynamic Setting broken? It seems there is no way to edit the frame rate target?

    I installed FS2024 on launch day and for the most part was okay. Installed the 1st update a few months ago without issue and SU1 also installed without issue. I took a test flight a few days ago checking out the new Cessna 185 and SU1 around the San Juan Islands in Washington State and all seemed well. Not a half bad model and performance was butter smooth. Today I tried to launch FS2024 and it kept on crashing on the loading flight screen. Tried several times and it would just get the spinning circle forever on the bottom right side of the screen. I literally waited like 1 hour the 2nd time but nothing. I tried a few hours later and I finely got a flight to lo…

  9. Hello Gang and greetings. Prior to the SU1 update, 2024 was a little bit of a mess for me. One of my biggest issues was that the sim would not save the control assignments per aircraft. Also weather presets. These issues were solved after the update. My issue now is that the sim is not saving my graphics settings. For example, I choose the Nvidia DLSS Super choice under Antialiasing and the sim does not save it and reverts back to AMD FSR2 as default every time. Is anyone running into this? Thanks.

  11. Another fine collection of default objects! X26 Sebastian Municipal Airport Enhancements has been released at flightsim.to. As with all of my enhancements, this is created using default objects and making the airport look a bit more like the real thing. There were many little things to fix with X26, as the default was pretty off. Enjoy, and please do not hesitate to suggest improvements and/or point out things that need fixing. Thanks!

    Here I am with yet another problem with the a350. This time the ils frequency doesn't load when I select the approach and star during the fmc programming. It just doesn't load. After that if I go again in the destination airport page, it's not populated with anything, but the f plan is still programmed. Not to mention today on my flight from Berlin I had rwy 25 instead of 24 and I could find any SIDS whatsoever. Can anyone help? I'm tired of inputting the ils frequency manually every time

    I've been seeing this issue recently with the elevator trim, either using Numpad 1/7 or the buttons I set in MSFS or FSUIPC as elevator trim up/down: The funny thing is that it only happens with the GA aircraft I have. With airliners, it doesn't happen (maybe because the trim signal is intercepted and modulated, I guess?). Reading here and in other forums, I'd expect AI autotrim to be the culprit. However, I have it off. Furthermore, if I turn it on, it starts to move by itself smoothly, as you can see in the final seconds of the video. It wasn't like that before. The only workaround I've found is ussing offsets in FSUIPC for trim. But it shouldn't be …

  15. TIN City Workaround. Since this week’s MSFS2024 Sim Update 1, you may have trouble loading in a flight…especially at airports located near TIN (Photogrammetry) cities. Either a long long time before starting or mostly the spinning wheel cycles until you give up and stop the simulator. This behavior (and bug) has been discussed over at the FS Forums and a couple of workarounds have been suggested. (1) Turn your TLOD settings down…to 100 and maybe to 10. This seems to work consistently. (2) Zoom OUT (far out) your World Map before you start the flight. This seems to work sometimes.

    Hello, this might appear as a weird question, but I am looking for reasons to get one of the career apps. I am pretty satisfied by doing it the way I am doing, however, most likely like many here, I am looking to further enhance my experience. I have watched numerous videos and posts on various sources, for OnAir, NeoFly, Newsky, APLv2, etc. and I am starting to ask myself one question: why would I even need such an app? (and the question is not to make the apps seem useless, but rather make me interested in them, if maybe I am missing something). Let me put it this way: in MSFS2024, different than before, I am actually flying with a little bit of sense. As…

  17. Hi all, i want to try a flight in the 737-max (default). I plan the flight, Simbrief gives me 5.500 kg of Fuel and 189 PAX. (btw: my default 737-Max in the game has only 168 seats - why?) But more important: I can "import" the Simbrief Flighplan with the EFB - it shows the waypoints in the flight planner. But how do i set up Fuel, Payload etc according Simbrief? Do i have to setup manually? Or is there any button for it im overseeing? Thanks

    I've had some frustrations with the SWS, I wanted to look at the Carenado, going to their own web site it says this is ONLY available in the Marketplace. But then I go fire up 2020, look in the Marketplace and it doesn't find this plane. Something I'm missing here? Was it removed due to 2024 or something?? Cheers!

    I am near KSEA it should be 1443 local time. But the live time is showing 1343. Guess it has something to do with the daylight savings junk. I say spring forward and leave it 😉 I guess we are gonna have to wait on Asobo to fix this one too eh? Happy Landings

  20. I’ve been doing some experimenting with the PMDG B737 in the new sim and found that by and large, it’s mostly functional, with a few caveats. if one wants to start at a gate, it appears you have to spawn from the runway, and taxi over to the gate, shutting the engines down once you’re parked. After that, you can do the normal boarding (I use GSX) cockpit prep and eventual push back. One note: I found that if I go outside the aircraft with my virtual pilot, that once back inside, the switches in the cockpit freeze and can no longer be manipulated. So that may be a limitation. But all in all, I’m pretty pleased with the plane and its functionality.

  23. My experience with 24 up until about a week ago has been more or less seeing how fast i can get a CTD after loading it up. I would randomly get crashes just about anywhere, but in the last week i have only had two. Feeling like living dangerously, i decided to give career another go. To my surprise, career has been pretty stable, and pretty well done. Sure the dialog is bad, and there are plenty of bugs, but overall it is playable, and enjoyable. I have only lost progress once, but even then i didn’t lose everything. I haven’t made any changes to my pc, so maybe they are tweaking the backend? No idea, but my pc has been rock-solid with everything except 24. Still a …

    Hello, I am wondering if it's possible to set up a camera view in MSFS 2024 that I can switch to quickly that will place a camera near the ground close to my aircraft so I can watch it fly by like the tower view in FSX and P3D. I know there's the drone cam, but that seems like something you have to move into position every time. and would like something that I can just press a key and see my aircraft from the ground. So, is there any way to do this? Thanks

    Hi After installing the new dlss, i am trying to see if lossless scaling can also help with fps. I have a 120hz monitor So from what i understand i should lock my fps at 40 and put Lossless in x3 mode to reach the monitor rate (correct me if i am wrong 🙂 ) The big problem is that when i am trying to lock my fps at 40 in nvidia app, the sim get stuck at 6% loading langages. Is there another way to lock fps ? Thanks 🙂
