  1. I'm posting this right here because it will be flightsims in particular that will be ruined by brief pauses, such as every 3 seconds. This new default Windows feature doesn't sound good for a stutter free flights. " Windows 11 Will Record EVERYTHING You Do. Microsoft will record your screen every three seconds with a app called Recall. " Will means future, not right now. But soon. Unless at that time you will go to group policy and turn off Recall. The storage requires at least 50 GB. It can be 150GB if you have larger drive space available (over 1TB). Pay attention when windows 24H updates come out. I am going to disable Bitlocker and Recall.

  2. I have flown both Kodiak 100 and the TBM 930 a lot over the last year. I always start from a cold and dark cockpit. I cannot get either of them to start now. Fuel flow is appropriate, ignition is on, NG% is at should be, prop and condition levers are in the correct location, fuel is in the tank and valves are open. The NG spins up, the flow meter shows an increased flow when I go from Cutoff to Lo idle at 20% but neither engine ignites. Using CTRL+E (autostart) does not work at all in the TBM and only works occasionally in the Kodiak. And autostart in the Kodiak operates the prop and condition lever quite differently from the checklists - pushes…

    This is the first youtube comparison video that I've seen. The mod has changed just one of the default Asobo files. Each line in that one file has two numbers which are minimum and maximum height for that particular species of grass, shrub, or tree. Therefore you can modify the mod yourself, such as removing somewhere around the same percentage from each number, such as maybe one fourth. To swap, just drop the mod or modified mod into community. Anyway, this guy's video, 5 days ago showing stock mod vs. default. (it's a payware $5 mod, not the free flightsim.to mod).

    Hey All, Has anyone else seen an issue with this scenery? All of a sudden I am now facing sudden hills and craters on the taxiways (so steep the aircraft can get stuck!). I have reinstalled but to no avail. Also turned up the mesh resolution as far as it will go... but still huge issues. Any advice would be most appreciated, many thanks Jane

    For the last day or two, I have been unable to run MSFS. It just hangs at one of the opening screens. For example, I have it running right now in another window, and it was stopping at the black screen. But this time is sitting at "Checking for Updates," and it has been like that for a while. Am I alone, or are others having trouble too?

    Hi all. I will be 81 in a couple of days, and have been using every version of flight simulator since it was first introduced. Since it's inception into MSFS using the default flight planner and ATC to fly IFR airline routes I have enjoyed using FSX and then P3D all versions except V6. I always enjoy using the default flight planner and flying my flights with a VA. Visual landing are no problems and always turn off the AP around 1000 ft. AGL. I have tried to find a way to us MSFS 2020 for 4 years with no luck. The climb is no problem, but on descent ATC will always leave me WAY too high to make any kind of landing. Is there some way to make the default flight planner with…

    Has anyone tried the new ground friction model in SU 15 with the default C172? I'm experiencing it pulling hard to the left and I need right toe brake and full rudder to turn right below 10kts when taxing. I was wondering if anyone tried it yet? If someone else says it's good for them I'll keep looking for the solution but I'm pretty sure it's just messed up.

  17. Over the past week I experienced something I had never seen before. When I go to World Map to select a flight's origin/gate, the airport that is displayed on the map is the destination airport of the previous flight, and this has happened multiple times. The PC is rebooted between the previous flight and when this problem appears so it's not a "leftover data" problem. I work around it by selecting startup airports at random until eventually the correct airport displays on the map. Has anyone else experienced this ? This problem is unrelated to SU15 as it has happened before SU15 arrived and now with SU15 (sidebar: SU15 is looking good, keeping fingers crossed !).

    I have not flown an aircraft with GTN in ages. Loaded up Black Square KA. GTN powers on and shows the Licened to ‘me’ screen with “Continue” button but the button is inclickable. Screen seems unresponsive. Any ideas what the problem might be. I have the Pro version with Navigraph charts. I checked that I do have the latest version and reinstalled it too, same result. Thanks in advance!

    From the Working Title Discord — Today at 11:46 AM Hello @everyone! Sim Update 15 is now rolling out! It includes a whole host of fixes, but most importantly includes the new G3X, now available by default in the JMB VL-3, the Cubcrafters XCub, and the Cubcrafters NXCub. We are extremely excited to finally release this to everyone, and have to, as always, deeply thank all our wonderful WT QA folks for all their help in making this complex unit a reality, including some absolutely essential legwork from G3X pilot/owners. We could not have done it without you all. It was an absolutely massive undertaking, more even than we expected (and we expected it to be difficu…

    Forgive me but this is probably a basic one and I have searched....... How do I hold the magneto switch down to start in the piston Duke? I have looked at the key bindings in MSFS and can operate both at the same time, but how do I start one at a time? I can use my mouse wheel to cycle through left, right, both etc. but can't hold it in the Start position long enough for a start as the switch releases. Sorry for the basic question, hope it makes sense.

Default: 50/balanced. Updated docs. - Added handling for /// or //////CB (or TCU) layer interpretation in METARs - will use SCT coverage at random heights between 1000 and 3000AGL to place clouds (resolves some "no rain" or "no clouds shown" reports for stations that issue METARs in the fashion) - Increased translational effects approximately 30% by default per feedback - Reduced rotational roll effect in general approximately 15% per feedback - Reduced altitude change rate dur…

    I just started the sim to check out an airport I was thinking of buying, and got a weird initial screen with a narrated text, followed by a set of "we've found these devices", "do you want to use online data" etc type screens, and when it eventually came up pretty much everything on my setup had changed. No controller mappings, most of my settings all over the place etc. Anybody else getting this? I'm not on the beta, and there was no info about any system update, just weird stuff. It all looked like some kind of fresh install, but not as I remember it. System was running fine just a few hours ago, but quite a bit stuttery so I wonder if this is someway in …
