  1. We now have a good idea of the new and included aircraft, but, I am yet to see a list of new airports that will be added. Thanks. Regards, RayM

  2. Hey all, I've noticed recently when i'm in the cockpit camera of the fenix a320 lately my frame rate takes a significant hit compared to the exterior view. I get around 40fps with nothing loaded but when I enable FSLTL on low settings it drops usually about 2 or 3 frames which is normal but recently only in the cockpit of the fenix my frames are dropping even more to around 23 to 24 and its starting to get rather annoying while flying in the air, anyone know any possible solutions/fix? My specs are as follows RTX 3060 I7-12700H 16GB RAM 2TB SSD

    It is pleasing the new sim will be here next month, and we will have a pretty decent WT 737 Max and the incredible IFly 737 Max, with the bells and whistles. Question is, has it been mentioned anywhere, including on any streams, of the cost of the IFly 737 Max ?

  4. *Posting this for info rather than reporting an ongoing issue* Not sure why but potentially due to an outdated AIRAC (which October update released today), every time I'd select FLT PLAN REQUEST on the FMC, it'd lock the entire sim and I had to force it with Windows to shut down - I went through this and froze in the same FMC spot at least 5 times. After updating the AIRAC, it works just fine. Confused what really caused this as there was a PMDG update and AIRAC update on the same day.

    The gut is telling me the guys over at IFly could drop the Max soon. The days are ticking down to FS2024. And we have seen many previews. It's time to send it live.

    Just curious if there have been any updates on the status of SFO from Flightbeam? There were some pics about a year ago but I don't think i have seen or heard anything since. Are they still working on it?

    Thinking of purchasing navigraph charts. I know it has an app where you can view the charts worldwide. Also It has airac which has all navigation points to be used How does MSFS20 use this? When a new one comes in we need to get that in to MSFS20 so FMS systems can use it? Bit confused

    I have tried this a couple of times, but, after pressing Hot Key the video seems to freeze but MSFS continues, eg can hear flap operating, engines spool up or down, the sounds change when different views are selected. I have 60/30 in settings Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

    The FSHud dev released a public 'silent' alpha. Check the FSHud Discord. A more official (and less silent) beta is due out in a week or so but everyone who wants to experience the first FSHud v2 improvements (like voice control and a map) can give it a try now already. (Obviously you have to own FSHud v1.)

    Recently around about the MSFS update all of sudden my Name at the top of the steam window changed. Mine used to say something like agate..... It allows me to sign back in using my Steam email address but the name has changed and the amount of hours flown has changed. Can someone who understand steam tell me what could have happened? Steam has no support unless you have an issue they have addressed. Can anyone tell me what this means other than the obvious. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0398t7iGjPi5BavtTFsM7uDlQ

  13. So currently, MSFS 2020 has the best default GA avionics thanks to the work of Working Title. MSFS 2020 has the best default G1000 (NXi), G3000, G5000, and G3X for a flight simulator. Actually, we can remove the word "default" because the avionics I just listed are the best in-sim avionics you can get, even if you include payware alternatives (by in-sim, I mean the avionics within the simulator, rather than external hardware avionics). There just isn't a better in-sim G1000 (NXi), G3000, G5000, and G3X than the ones in MSFS 2020. Working Title also made an excellent GNS 430 and GNS 530, the Collins ProLine 21, and they also upgraded the avionics in the default 787 and 74…

    When i set the target lossless scaling fps ex. 142 (beacause i want LS to upgrade my fps to 144) and i set fps sensitivity amount to 1, because i want lod reaction for even one fps lower, then after take off my LOD doesnt increase and stays at minimum (60). It changes when i set my sensitivity to 5 or lower my target fps. It was working before latest msfs update and lossless scaling update. (I tried reinstalling auto fps and reverting to previos version, but even with revert the problem exist. So i waked up today and it wasnt working

    I have just noticed that all eleven airports that I have in my wish list at the MS Marketplace have increased in price by approximately 12%. What's that all about?

  17. So I am reading this thread here in the official forums, and it appears that if you own the Premium Deluxe version of MSFS 2020, your planes will transfer over to MSFS 2024, especially the 787: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/will-add-ons-from-premium-deluxe-edition-transfer-to-msfs2024/639669 I own the Premium Deluxe version of MSFS 2020. For me, the plane that makes the Premium Deluxe version of MSFS 2020 worth it is the 787, especially after all the work that Working Title did on it. And now you can get the Horizon Simulations and Kuro mod for the 787. I would like to continue to fly the 787 in MSFS 2024, with the Horizon Simulations and Kuro mods, and …

    Yesterday, when I tried to flight the PMDG 738, I found this error. I cannot touch anything neither the controls. Does anyone know what happened and how to fix it?

  20. I know it is a rather specific question however I am trying to confirm it is the interior terminal sounds that are causing issues with my PMDG 777 callouts on departure... I randomly lose cockpit interior sounds, wiper sounds and then eventually my 80 kts, V1, VR and V2 calls although most of the time I will get positive rate. It doesn't seem to happen at airports without terminal sounds though. I tried a few departures from an airport without any terminal sounds and sure enough all worked as expected every time. This leads my to believe that possibly the terminal sounds at DD KEWR are somehow impacting my aircraft sounds. (I also thought about GSX bu…

    Hello all.yesterday and today I had the worst experience with REX Atmos! First, I downloaded it from REX store. Registered the product and used it few times, looks amazing and added great effects in MSFS. but I noticed that every time I open the app it asks to register the product! Suddenly, it stopped working, I try to register, I get an error that the product cannot be registered! I opened a ticket at REX support, first response was asking me to register in a different way that didn’t work, second response was to delete a folder in my documents that didn’t already exist!!! After that I got no response from REX support! I got too frustr…

  24. For some reason, this isn't a problem for the XBOX Series edition. However, I have been trying to figure out why every time I approach any airport in size for landing, my framerate would take a massive hit from very smooth to a 1/3 the framerate, then it smoothed back out once I got real close to landing. So in experimenting I zeroed in on airport and ground traffic. I turned off all ground and airport traffic and ever since, it has been smooth flying from departure to arrival.
