    An ATC can vector me to a fix I'm not familiar and not shown in approach plates and terminal area charts in my possession. Is there a free and PRINTER FRIENDLY map showing all the navaids and fixes around a 10-20 mile radius around an airport eg. KSFO?

    So I know this is going to sound funny but I believe MS/Asobo mentioned in one of the Q&A's that there would be silent updates or fixes pushed to 2024 and I also believe I've read here of things getting fixed in 24 without any intervention. In other words I believe I am speculating about speculation LOL. At the same time 2020 has quietly gone through what clearly look to be improvements to me including Cloud Layers- For ages I would depart in Overcast and then bust through the "tops" at 3000 ft and magically it was clear. Now I've got actual cloud layers and was in the soup for 15,000 ft all the way down to minimums the other day. I've also had far more …

  5. Hey Guys, I bought a new SSD a few days ago and wanted to shift MSFS and all my Add-Ons to the new SSD. I reinstalled MSFS without any issues. Then I also reinstalled the Fenix A320. Here comes the Problem: I need to install the new FenixInstaller first before I can install the A320 itself. So I tried doing that, but every time I run the installer I have to insert my admin Password and after that I get a prompt saying: Microsoft Edge has no reading or writing Permission for the data - dircetory: C:\Users\Admin\Appdata\Local\FenixApp.WebView2\EBWebView I checked the Directory and there is no Folder called FenixApp.WebView2. I read online that there is a cur…

    Hello everyone. I need some suggestions about a problem that has persisted for more than a week regarding access to Fenixsim.com I can't access my account in any way. I have uninstalled everything from Fenix hoping that reinstalling it will solve it, but nothing. I am attaching some screenshots of the messages I get. Maybe someone can help me. Here the screens with messages I receive. Thanks for your posts and possible solutions Regards! https://imagekit.io/tools/asset-public-link?detail={"name"%3A"Fenix_login_message.jpg"%2C"type"%3A"image%2Fjpeg"%2C"signedurl_expire"%3A"2028-01-30T13%3A26%3A45.315Z"%2C"signedUrl"%3A"https%3A%2F%2Fmedia-hosting.imag…

    That would have been my reaction if I had to re-install 2020. However, I didn't have to worry when my 2024 drive died last night. Installation was 6.5gb that took a few minutes to install (Steam). Started 2024 and pointed it to the drive where my community folder resides - seconds. All of my controller settings, career mode progress and all other settings were remembered from the cloud. 2024 based in the cloud, I salute you 😎

    to eliminate Heliports and Helipads before starting a flight. I have tried many different ways that have been suggested on the MSFS forum, but even after I uncheck them, they do not STAY unchecked. They literally "LITTER" the scenery when all I'm looking for are Airports! If anyone knows a way to turn off those H's in circles, please let me know.

    I just bought a new gpu and installed, I have tried everything, whenever I try to start msfs it says game crashe error code 0xc0000005 =. I have been working on this for two days and am wits end. I have unloaded almost everything from my computer, fresh install of msfs and still nothing. I even tried loading dcs and it does the same thing when trying to load into the sim. Instant crash. Wondering iif anyone has gone through this here before I return graphics card because my 1080 worked ok just getting a little old. Thanks for the help Anthony Intel i7-9700k cpu,32 gb ram, windows 10 22h2,

  15. It has been discussed here several times that there are way too many trees in MSFS 2024, especially in some locations (Europe?). By too many I mean especially the fact that they cover larger areas than they are supposed to or that that they grow in places where they should not be present. I am obsessed with this topic, because in my opinion it doesn't allow users to enjoy VFR flying to its full potential. I assembled several screenshots comparing various solutions I tried in both sims. Which one do you find the best and why? What is your opinion? Note 1 We are not speaking about PG trees here. This topic concerns autogen areas only. Note 2…

    If you are not in the Beta, then join the beta. If you are in the beta, revert back out of the beta. This has an excellent chance of overcoming the problem where 2024 will get stuck while loading the sim. And then when it is loading OK, you can quit msfs and do the opposite (e.g. rejoin the beta).

    Hey all. I have a problem with my analog transponders not turning on. I put the mouse over the knob, get the little semi circle arrow and I roll my mouse wheel and it tries to turn on but then "Spring loads" back to off. Any Ideas what is going on?

  20. And it was smoother in the sim .. the video has hiccups but the sim was perfect.

  21. Here's a guide on improving image quality for those using DLSS. Goal: to get the best image quality without a significant impact on performance. Useful for: those with Nvidia RTX GPUs. What is DLDSR? Deep learning dynamic super resolution utilizes the Tensor cores in RTX GPUs, in order to upscale the image to a higher than native monitor resolution. It then downsamples the image to fit the monitor. Whilst doing so it enhances the detail, edges, and shimmering of the image. With the advanced AI-tech included in DLDSR, Nvidia promises that the performance impact is only half compared to the much older DSR technology. There is an important cav…

    Dear All, I was just wondering if anyone has any information on the status of: Synaptic A22X Project - I know that Inibuilds have taken over this project but there's nothing I can find that highlights any progress since April 2024. Is the project dead? Black Square Cessna Super Cargomaster - There was an announcement late last year, but nothing since. I would like to purchase these so hence my question. Best regards, Peter

  24. I'm using the new beta of AIG's model installer to try and get landing gears to show on MSFS 2024. The uploader however is one of the worst programs I've ever used. It freezes across different computers, different houses, different continents, different operating systems, and for different sims. Does it work for anyone? Every time I click on "Quick Install" it gets about five airlines in and then just freezes. I don't like using FSLTL because then I have to run another program in the background, the injector (I'm using FSHud). I also like that AIG flight plans mean that the sim time shows the corresponding traffic, not the local time in real life. …
