I'm asking if they'll be improving the weather RADAR, since third parties can't do it themselves.

Hello, so I am new to the Honda Jet, and I am having trouble getting my flight plan to display correctly on the map and have included a few screenshots below for reference. So to start, I decided to do a quick test flight from Anchorage over to Valdez in Alaska. In the FMC, I manually created a flight plan which included the ARR and DEST airports along with the procedures for each airport and had one en route waypoint along the way. As far as I could tell, everything looked correct in the flight plan page based on the tutorials I have seen, however when I tried to see my flight plan on the map only part of was showing up. As you can see in the second pic, the line just st…

I am sure this will start a fire storm but I am just curious why is that BS Duke ground behaves like a real aircraft and others do not? Yes I have time in a similar aircraft 421B and some of the others struggle to make it useable? I love the way the Duke taxi's down to the alt throttle characteristics. It tracks as expected and does not overcorrect if you look down at the peddles.

Hi All! I wanted to bring this up in hopes of getting some ideas/solutions as my searches and ideas found in this and the MSFS forums have been futile. Ever since the last update the A320 Autopilot is essentially unusable. Out of nowhere it will start a hard right to turn leading to a dive. The only way to recover is turn the AP off. I haven't tested other aircraft, but this happens in default, FBW Stable, Dev and CFBW. I have Both TCA SideStick and Throttle and 'think' those could be causing the issue but I am unsure. I've left both controllers to default and just modified a few buttons but haven't touched the sensitivity settings. I've tried set…

I’ve been pulling my hair out as I’ve recently started to have periods of bad stuttering whilst keeping consistent 60fps. I’ve tried to reinstall drivers, clearing out cache and even done a reinstall of MSFS. I’m using latest Nvidia drivers, running 13900k and RTX4090 with DX12 and FG on. The stutters seem to come on quite randomly and seem related to increased GPU usage - I’m using RivaTuner to monitor GPU usage where I can clearly see it go up from say 45% to 60-65% (but not a single drop in FPS, staying pegged at 60FPS). More notably, I can see consistent yellow spikes in GPU timings if I am in developer mode and have the FPS on in screen. When I don’t see these spi…

Hello, we need help, in GSX Forum we did not get help. I Hope there is one Flightsimmer which is use Homecockpit with Prosim737 The PROSIM 738 is at the gate, parking brake is set.* Boarding no problem.* Request pushback no problem.* Releasing the parking brake before pushback is also no problem.When the pushback is complete, GSX requests that the parking brake be set again.And this is where the problem begin:It is not possible to set the parking brake after EVERY PUSHBACK by GSX PRO.GSX PRO prevents the brake from being set in the home cockpit!No matter which airport. GSX MUST BE RESET because otherwise the process will not be completed.After GSX Reset there is…

I use the complete suite of CH Products controllers: Yoke, Throttle Quadrant, and Pedals. The yoke has three levers on top for Throttle, Mixture, and Prop controls. Since I use the CH Products Throttle Quadrant for Throttle, Mixture and Prop controls, I do not use the levers on top of the Yoke. I am wondering if I could somehow use them for Landing Gear, Flaps, and Speed Brakes. Since they are a movable axis, I can't figure out how to do this. There are no detents to assign. Has anyone ever done this? Thanks

Having watched a youtube video on the new ActiveSky software this morning. I did at the suggestion of the presenter increase my AS turbulence setting from the default 50% to 80%. My turbulence setting within MSFS is set as realistic. I then identified an airport (using windy.com) where there was significant clear air turbulence - in this case the airport I selected was OEPA. Using FSiPanel, I set up an approach to RW34, positioning myself so that I arrived with left hand vectors. Active Sky live weather was selected. Then I tried the flight in the Fenix A320 - it handled it beautifully, and I was delighted to see the ailerons kicking in and out on both wing…

Here's another flight with BATC. This time in the Longitude from MSP to ORD. The software performed MUCH better this time. I expected this - with a structed set of "rules" (aka stars/sids etc) BATC is probably going to work a lot better vs my random GA IFR flight. I'm guessing my FlightBeam MSP scenery threw off the program though - it issued me taxi instructions that made no sense on my journey to runway 17. Anyway, my routing is KMSP RST1 RST ZZIPR FYTTE7 KORD at FL410. I filed in simbrief for arriving 9C but BATC assigned 9L - which was fine. One thing that I've noticed also - BATC doesn't really understand if you start on a ramp/FBO. It always wants me…

I switched from a RTX 3060 to a RTX 4070 and noticed a very modest performance improvement, almost the same FPS as before. I an using the same MSFS settings such as super DLSS resolution with DLAA, which I dont know if they are adequate to the new gpu, also I want to know how to manage the new gpu features as frame generation, as it doesnt show at the Nvidia control panel.- Thanks

After using 'windowed' (screen) setting for some time I decided to change it back to 'full screen'. I also set 'screen resolution' to the native for my monitor ie 2560 x 1440. I make the changes, select 'keep' and then click on apply and save. When I restart MSFS I find the setting has reverted to 'windowed'. What can be causing this and how do I make the change 'stick'? Thanks

I've been dealing with this since I got it on launch day but haven't had enough time to experiment until today. I flew in the KDCA area which currently has mild thunderstroms topping out in the low 20,000 foot range. Activesky shows little pancake clouds from around 3k to maybe 5 or 8k. Default weather correctly shows the cloud height. I get this every time I fly in any sort of weather. The cloud type looks right, but it's as though it's being compressed downward. I'm getting cirrus/etc clouds up high, so it's not an absolute ceiling, but any sort of cumulus or cb cloud just doesn't get very tall no matter what. I have everything set on default. Anyon…

Using FSUIPC I assign the VS button on the autopilot to a button on y TH Hotas throttle quadrant. It does not work. Assigning IAS to button works fine. Mouse click on the VS button work. But assigned button to AP VS ( or AP VS set) does not work. Is it not possible to assign VS to a button ?

I've just bought a Stream Deck Plus and the only tutorial I can find to set it up with MSFS uses Axis and Oh's, which I don't own. I've seen a few comments online about conflicts if you use FSUIPC and Axis and Oh's together and I use FSUIPC for control assignments, lua assignments, EXE.xml etc Q. Can I run FSUIPC and Axis and Oh's together with MSFS or not? Do any of you do this? If not, is FSUIPC still a requirement for some add-ons or does Axis and Oh's replace it completely? I've used FSUIPC since FSX and, if I could continue to use it with the Stream Deck Plus, that would be the easiest option. Thanks

I saw an interesting excerpt from the SayIntentions.AI's FAQ page: I was curious about how SayIntentions.AI came to this decision and I saw this in Discord from one of the SayIntentions.AI devs that explained the decision to make SayIntentions.AI exclusive to MSFS, but with the possibility of supporting XP after it's out of beta: I guess this is a nice perk to MSFS users, that we are getting the latest and greatest add-ons, because of the sheer market size of MSFS. I would hate to be on the other end of the stick, and miss out on all these great ATC add-ons that are coming out (I myself just purchased and I am using BeyondATC now). MSFS now has BeyondATC…
