Cessna 185 Harvard/T6 (yes, I know Asobo made one ... but it needs a soul, not to mention vaguely realistic engine behaviour and much-needed realistic ground and flight characteristics) Citabria All of the above at the very least SWS quality, even better if A2A or Black Square.

EDDS (Stuttgart Manfred Rommel Airport) got, ever since it was released. a misplaced ILS for runway 25. When flying an approach to this runway and following the glideslope to it, will get one into terra firma some 500 ft before the runway's threshold. (PAPI's are placed in such a way that you only can see them right before you meet the soil. Great, too. Not 🙂 ) A few days ago I got so fed up with this, let's call it, undocumented feature that I decided to buy a payware version of Stuttgart airport. I got myself RDPresets' version only to find out that this scenery didn't correct the ILS. Do any of you know if there is a patch for this phenomenon around and if so wh…

The new Shorts SC7 by Inibuilds. Compass is right in front of the pilot for good visibility. Instead of at the center post where it's hard to see from either the left or right seat. I simulation or real life, I don't know why they put it where it's harder to read. In earlier versions of FS where you can easily alter the panel configuration. I always either enlarged the compass card, or moved the compass. In any older plane, I always make a straight on and close custom view of some type of instrument for heading and assign it to keypad 0. (But I don't really need one in this plane).

Apologize if this has already been addressed, but how do I get my plane to load at a parking spot instead of on runway after loading a simbrief flight plan. If I select a parking spot after loading plan on map screen, it wipes out my flight plan and does it's own direct. I searched on this and saw comments from 2021. Do I need to use another flight plan tool? Thanks

Howdy all. My problem is I don’t like the default Pilot Camera Views (Hat Views) in the Bravo Airspace 787-8. I don’t care for the positioning or their logic. I’m perfectly happy with the Cameras in the default Asobo 787-10 and I would like to copy paste the Asobo into the BA. Can do? I know you can make custom views, and they are so simple to make it drives one to tears for all the time spent in sims past. But in this case, I don’t want Keyboarding Magic. I just want my Hat (left hat actually) to behave in the BA as it does in the Asobo. Can anyone assist or redirect me to the best solution? TIA! -B

- Detailed - Didactic - Added by a virtual pilot/co-pilot if one opts for it... No other ! Only in MSFS 2020 !!! PLEASE !!! DO NOT "LIKE" THIS POST - It's simply a true/honest/non-clickbait exclamation of aspects that really make this sim UNIQUE for me, specially after deambulating through the alternatives and always returning to where, after all, I feel AT HOME!

Quote... "So... the B73X liveries (there are only 2) cover specific FR24 instances we've seen in the long-ago past where FR24 showed the aircraft type at "737" and not "B737". [3:56 PM] While those liveries do indeed exist in Base Models, no where in that log file you posted did the FSLTL injector match to either of those liveries, so no aircraft in the sim should have been using either livery. (edited) [3:59 PM] However, as 54Lewis alluded to above, if you're using the in-sim live traffic, it could have matched to either of those liveries because it's matching ability isn't as good. In terms of whether those two liveries are actually any good, I can…

Anyone else had this? It seems to manifest itself in areas where there is lots of trees. Though it doesn't happen very often. I'll watch my fps plummet to low 20s, or sometimes into the teens. I can fix it though if I go into the games graphics options and set it to "low-end" preset, and then set it back to high. FPS will then jump back up to 35-40 which is what I'm used to. I guess I could go through each gfx setting when it happens and lower each one until it comes right. Surely must be one of them causing this.

I'm speechless. Call me old fashioned call me old, whatever, this is beyond ridiculous. First the Dune splash screens and now this. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/call-to-action-against-inappropriate-advertising-in-msfs-2020/643240 Obviously the thread has been closed, because things.

Hello, i'm using FSLTL, AIG and FSHUD for AI Traffic. After updating MSFS SU15 my AI Traffic plays only fullthrottle sounds or some play the standard MSFS sound. Before, there were after pushback start enginesounds, the taxi sounds and on takeoff there are spoolup sounds. I remember, some times ago there was the same issue. Any ideas, Thank you Joachim

We're about to enter June and it's dead quiet from Microsobo. Did I miss the memo? Yes, I'm not around a lot so I may have missed the memo, but where are all the feature and image/video previews? Why are they keeping cards so close to their chest? It's not like X-Plane or P3D stands any chance.

Thought I'd post this as so much praise I'm hearing from testing third party add-ons and not what actually can down and updated for the default sim. Here's what I'm finding: 1. WT gauges perform much worse than before - No exact number but in the Cirrus in VR the sim performance much worse than before 2. The Longitude WT gauge no longer work on the bottom right panel - Where you 'try' to choose the map, charts, FP, etc on the lower right screen, buttons are longer clickable for right split screen management 3. Weird strobe light effect in VR - I said this in another post the effect looks more like UFO's flying around versus aircraft in the day time 4…

I know the product is for flying and not sitting back and relaxing while someone else flies, but that's what I like to do while I work. The implementation of AI piloting is clearly a bit half baked, and of course there are more worthy things to worry about, but does anyone else like to just sit back and watch the AI pilot take over while doing something else? Sometimes the plane lands at its intended destination, sometimes it flies into a mountain, sometimes it lands into a house near the runway.. I'm trying to see if setting a STAR helps matters so the plane can at least come in for a landing. Does anyone have any tips as to what's worked for them? Do some ai…

Hello everyone, I've noticed that when I play with the Fenix and exit the flight using simrate x2, then immediately switch to the PMDG 737, the latter glitches and the time stays accelerated. Does anyone have 5 minutes to perform this maneuver and confirm that it's not just my PC that's bugging? Or has anyone else experienced this issue? Thanks in advance.

Here is the problem. The monitor has to be online when operating MSFS2020 in VR mode. Thus, when moving the mouse in VR, it also moves the cursor on the monitor. Therefore, when one is under the hood, they cannot to see the undesired mouse actions that occur. For example, if the cursor is moved to the top of the monitor screen, it activates a drop down men that locks the VR screen. This is maddening as I must constantly look out from under the HMD set to see what has been inadvertently activated. Worse is the accidental closing of the program by hitting the close screen, X-out button at the top right corner of the screen. More than once I have set everything up in VR…
