  1. Hi, running 3 x 75” TVs for my cockpit. Also using in game vsync set at 50% and 60hz on all TVs Not sure why my side monitors show ripples when moving and banking etc. Does MSFS not apply vsync across all monitors? Thanks

    Hi, I have downloaded the latest version of Simbrief dispatch and put it in community but I don't have any Simbrief button showing in the world map, only the EFB... Also, once in the cockpit, I have the icon for the Simbrief dispatch panel but when I click on it the Navigraph window opens but it keeps loading indefinitely... Any suggestions? Thanks a lot

  3. Two questions: 1. Auto-land on KSJC ILS 30L 2. LNAV on the ground on KSFO ILS 28R Is the PMDG 737-800 able to auto-land in ALL MSFS 2020 airports? I have no problem auto-landing on KSFO ILS 28R. But for some reason I simply can't auto-land on KSJC ILS 30L. Is it because KSJC ILS 30L has office building near it? My route: KSFO/28R DCT SFO DCT OSI DCT KSJC/30R (IAF is KLIDE). The ILS course for KSJC is 306 and the ILS frequency is 110.9. On a similar note, regardless of what I do, I can't activate LNAV on the GROUND on KSFO's 28R: 1. Both FDs are on. The captain's FD is MA 2. Auto-throttle is off 3. Route has no discontinuity 4. VNAV…

  4. Hello everyone! This is a rant, but I am looking for some advice from anyone who felt this way before completely moving to MSFS after using FSX/P3D for the last 15 years, like me. I'm having the hardest time getting myself to make the big switch from Prepar3dv5 to MSFS2020/24. I have MSFS2020 downloaded and ready to go in its out-of-the-box state, but everytime I load it up, it feels like it's just a game. I think I'm just too used to the way FSX and P3D were, in that they were just raw flight sims that cared about nothing other than flying airplanes and making the world your own. At the same time, the visuals in MSFS are simply too gorgeous to ignore and not s…

    Hi, Is there a way to open and close the doors manually? When I use GSX and call the stairs the passenger doors open automatically but I can't find a way to open them manually? Thanks.

    Hello everyone, I am a huge ai plane spotter and even though the ai system is terrible, I still would like to watch planes. I would like the ability to place a camera near a runway and have it track the airplanes that pass by. It would also be great if the camera would track the next ai automatically. I would be able to watch the camera track planes as they arrive and depart. I don't really need an expensive program that changes cockpit views and recording options because that's not of interest to me. This was available in P3DV4 but I would like to have this in MSFS too. I hope I am explaining it correctly. I haven't installed MSFS yet but I think it's time to test the wa…

    As some of you know, I couldn't get MSFS2024 to load for about three weeks. I finally got it to load after deleting the sl.pcl.dll file. It ran fine after that and I closed and reopened the sim about four or five times while loading a few files in my Community folder, one at a time. Every time everything worked okay. After a short flight I shut down the computer for the night. This morning I started the sim and it did exactly the same thing and wouldn't load. I again deleted the sl.pcl.dll file and it loaded again. I don't know what this file controls but it is surely a bug somewhere. Anyone have any ideas on this? Roy

  10. I'm reasonably experienced on the A320 and have been trying to carry out autolands in FS2024 with the Fly By Wire in India (by virtue of all the smog meaning visibility is very low). I get everything set up, as far as I know correctly. The STAR, landing runway input into the MCDU, destination data input into the MCDU. I have the correct QNH set, speed to managed, approach and everything configured nicely. But the aircraft always finds a way of being slightly off centre, slightly too high, just not in a good spot for an autoland. I see LAND on the PFD indicating everything is set up okay on short finals. Is my problem here my configuration, is it the FBW or …

    I'm trying to (temporarily) eliminate other air traffic in MSFS 2024. I went to; Settings>Global Rendering Quality>Air Traffic and switched it to OFF but I'm still seeing planes at airports. Are those non-moving, static panes that cannot be removed?

    Hi - I am new to using the Addons Linker tool with MSFS 2020. I have created all my linker file trees and all is working well in the sim. My only issue is that each time I load the sim the add-on linker menu doesn't seem to "hold" all my previous selections and I need to keep re-ticking the required boxes where selections have fallen away. I have tried hitting the save button each time I add or change a selection but this doesn't seem to make it "hold" the selection. Any advice appreciated please.

    How much have they improved over MSFS 2020? Do the lights actually look brighter with more prominent bloom. Because I felt that the night lighting in MSFS 2020 was lacking. I had always wish that the lights would be brighter and have a more prominent glow to them. I like how the lights look in this video.

  14. It seems we get an early glimpse at how SayIntentions plans to tackle traffic. Sounds like it's all early days yet, but looks to me like an online/offline VATSIM replacement. In other words the ATC part is handled by AI, while the traffic you see around you is a combination of live players and (possibly - not fully confirmed) players that were there in the past. Personally I really like that idea, it means you get 100% coverage compared to a service like VATSIM while at the same time actual people flying the planes and therefore more "intelligent" traffic. It's free for everyone, albeit I imagine the actual talking to ATC part would require the subscription. …

    Last time i asked here, i got nice respons and i got people helping me on discord. now i've learned to land with ils, making flight plan from simbrief and navigraph.< The thing i wanna learn now is about the charts, how they work. The youtube videos ive watched are good, but still very confused and again i learn easier by being with someone asking them questions. Example Here is a path thats abit different then what ive used This is what i dont understand, I do use beyond atc, and it guided me all the way until atc said "N251SB, 5 MILES FROM IBI90, turn right, heading 105, maintain 2,500 until established cleared ils 15." …

  21. Hi All - I have tried assigning the dedicated helicopter controls in the manner advised by many U-Tube videos (although most of these feature the Velocity One peripheral which differs from my HOTAs in that the throttle/rudder pedals / joystick are all on the one device). I can get my throttle to work as the collective and the rudder pedals for tail rotor. However when I bind the cyclic longitudinal and lateral axis to my warthog joystick it has no effect. The physical cyclic control in the sim no longer responds to moving my HOTAS joystick control. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong please

  22. Have no idea where this bug may come from. It happens randomly, at ground and in air. Game becomes totally unresponsive for like 10 seconds, and when it comes back, the image/game is blurry when looking around (panning), both inside the cockpit and external view. Havent changed any hardware for years, only difference is a windows update and latest Nvidia Driver. However, then I record the issue with Nvidia app, it looks completely normal. Is it screenrelated? Got a new OLED 4k screen a few weeks ago

    I've followed the DLSS 4 Definite guide and get real nice frames and quality with max. settings. However, Nvidia overlay will show between 60 and 180 fps at 98% GPU load in most situations. However, when limiting to max fps 60 (in Nvida App) as before the DLSS upgrade, in order to achieve lower GPU loads, MSFS24 will not open the selected runway or parking spot, it will stay hovering over the the map for hours. My PC specs: 7800X3D, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16GB, 32GB RAM How to limit fps and get a flight started? Thanks for any help!

  25. Don't expect many to go here but again if you're not enamored consider this... Background: I really like how simple BATC is setup and to use and is the main reason I've stayed with it before buying in order to personally try FSHud. I use FSLTL models. I jumped into BATC 3-4 weeks ago and after a test flight or two decided to buy $30 worth of Premium voices as I really wanted to give this ATC app a proper try. Wasn't too fond of the Basic voices. So over the past few weeks managed to use up $30 worth of voicings, and this was only using those for controller voicings, not controllers plus traffic. During this 3-week intro to BATC I became frustrated trying to im…
