    What is the key assignment called that I have to assign a key to enable me to unpause once the sim has paused at the TOD in the PMDG 777? There are a few pause / unpause combinations in the keyboard key mapping menu. Has it worked ok for everyone? I know 'pause' has been an issue in MSFS.

  4. I cannot tell you how happy I am to find that a script for AAO (Axis and Ohs) for key commands for the Fenix A320 has been released on Flightsim.to! I have tested the script and it works flawlessly. Turning heading, alt, speed knobs, pulling and pushing the knobs, Apr mode, etc, etc - it's all there. There are dozens of additional commands for things like the EFIS, some overhead controls etc. The file states it is for the streamdeck, but if you just require it for key commands, simply ignore all the downloaded files except the SCRIPT file, which needs to be imported into AAO. Then, once in the sim, with AAO running, all can be assigned to key commands or…

  6. Does anyone know how to use VDGS at airports that have them? For example I know that Flightbeam KSFO has VDGS. And I heard theres 2 options that you can choose from. Either the Nool VDGS or the GSX one. Not sure what the difference is and which to use but how do you set it up? Is it automatic or what?

  7. Hello. I just had a CTD with "memory cannot be read" message. I remember I had it months ago and suddenly it re appeared. I think this is MSFS error not hardware related. I didn't install new addons or utilities recently, the only thing that us "new" is the recent MSFS update. Has anyone ever experienced and identitied the culprit? Thank you

    His step by step method video. (He also links to another video by someone else in the comments section below, on Youtube). His method is basically this: Set Anti Aliasing to your favorite: TAA or DLSS If you choose AA to be DLSS, then set DLSS Super Resolution to a setting you think is too low, such as Balanced. Set Global Rendering Quality to something lower than you expect to end up using. Such as maybe Medium. Set Off Screen Terrain Pre Caching to Ultra. (he says always use this to prevent stutters when panning the view). You can't tune your system with any setting of OSTPC other than Ultra. The next step is to …

    Hi everyone, I’ve discovered the above via a Reddit thread and it’s great however it’s very “twitchy” and I’m not sure I’ve worked out the curves etc properly. Does anyone have any examples of their settings for me to try? There’s a file on fs.to but that hasn’t made any real difference. thanks

  15. Hi Simmers, After several checks, both in the FMC settings pages of the PMDG 777 and in the MSFS assistance settings (no assistance is declared), at the cruising altitude i reached during my flight, the flaps unexpectedly extended to 15 degrees on their own. It's really annoying if you've ever encountered this problem, and I'd like to thank you in advance for your help in finding a solution. I forgot also i have the last updates of course of the PMDG 777.

    When I assign a call sign and flight number to whatever AC or helo I fly, MSFS assigns it to every livery and aircraft I use. Is there a way to assign call signs to Individual liveries like we were able to do in FSX and FS9. Is there something in the cfg file of each aircraft livery that call sign is permanent for that livery and nothing else?

    I use Add on linker for my scenery. With this new update, MSFS added some airports. Where do these add airport/Scenery go when they install. In Add on Linker, I can turn my pay airports on and off. How do I do that with MSFS airports, like the 7 new ones from the Caribbean world update. Thanks

    The studders on landing almost as if they are part of the code. At about 200-50 feet hard hard studders. I do not understand. Why not just lower the LOD on landing or at least give that option. It kills the simulation and does indeed seem like a Game. Runis it for sure....

  19. I didn't use the sim for about a week, and when I started a flight yesterday, and chose weather from the toolbar, all options were greyed out. Have anyone else experienced this? Other strange issues (same flight): -Active Sky didn't load (error message) - worked last time -TDS GTNXi didn't work in the piston Duke Very strange that issues like these suddenly appear when everything was ok last time I used the sim.

  22. I have mentioned this problem before, but I've been looking into rectifying it, and have failed, so I'm hoping for some advice (and hopefully a solution!). Using Fenix A320, FSLTL and iniBuilds EGLL. I've just flown EGLL-ESSA-EGLL and on return to EGLL, there was no traffic at all on the ground and all the aircracft that were attempting to land were going around at around 50ft. Before I left ESSA, I reset FSLTL using the traffic reset in FSLTL's menu. This is not a sim object issue (I think) as I can see aircracft attempting to land. But there are no aircracft (not even static) on the ground or any taxiing around. It's such an immersion killer to return to you…

    Never had a CTD before. Installed WU17 earlier. Taxiing out at KJFK (inibuilds) in the PMDG 777. Turned on the WX radar and then about 30 seconds later the sim stuttered a few times and CTD. Very frustrating. Never had any of these problems before one of a few things: - SU15 - WU17 - PMDG 777
