Hello everyone My question is that is there any way I can download a livery for the PMDG 737-800 then stretch it out and use it on the 737-900 by using livery tools or any other method? For example would I be able to download a 737-800 then put it in a software make it bigger and then rename it for the 737-900? Some liveries I want to use are only made for the 737-800 and I'm buying the 900. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi. I had done maybe around 10 flights on VATSIM before I stopped using it. I am using BeyondATC now and it's a great tool for learning, and I love how I can take my time on BeyondATC and go as slow as I want. Of course, I am still learning ATC phraseology (10 flights on VATSIM just makes me a newbie). So I wanted to see the phraseology that BeyondATC was generating and if it's okay to follow. Here, I get the BeyondATC pilot/co-pilot to ask ATC to taxi to the active runway at CZBB (CZBB, Boundary Bay airport in BC, Canada, has a tower), and BeyondATC's pilot/co-pilot comes up with this phrase: "N172SB, request taxi to the active": I do a little digging on the p…

Hi flyers I have an AMD 7800 X3D processor, Gigabyte 4070 Super 12gb graphics card and GSkill 32gb 6000Hz Ram. The images below show me in the Fenix A320 approaching FSDreamTeam Euroairport Basel Mulhouse with ultra settings at 2560 x 1440 using DLSS ultra quality, DLSS 3.7.0, Preset E in Nvidia inspector, RAR enabled etc. Achieving 23 frames per second. I do not understand why the CPU is only showing 17% utilisation. My GPU, VRAM and RAM utilisation %s are high. Please explain - why is the CPU utilisation % so low and is there any method of increasing this utilisation % on the powerful AMD 7800 X3D processor?

Should I wait for MSFS 2024? I'm Getting back into simming after a 20 year break, and buying a new PC for MSFS. I've read that simmers are having major issues with MSFS 2020. I'm debating buying 2020 Basic for use now, then 2024 Premium when available. Is 2020 worth buying for a few months use, or wait for 2024?

I am really enjoying using the early access version of BeyondATC - amazes me how the developers create such a complex piece of software. I have just had a flight from EGPH to EGCC using BATC. My flight plan was filed with a an arrival on RW23R via the star LAKE1M. Enroute, all went well, I was given clear instructions on flight levels, and the plane (PMDG 737-800) followed the filed route. My first question is that, simbrief gave me a flight level of 21000, and PMDG was suggesting the optimum flight level of 25000. The only way I could get BATC to recognise the optimum flight level of 25000, was to request an altitude change twice - is that the correct procedure…

Just installed MSFS 2020 on my new Windows 11 computer and am having difficulty locating the community folder. MSFS is installed on a stand alone drive (D:) where previously the community folder was under WpSystems\S1 5............\Appdata\Local\Packages\microsoftflightsim 8Wek......\packages\ Community. I also checked out the C:drive\ etc. and was able to find another community folder which contained the same files as on My D: drive. These files relate to addons that I was initially trying with MSFS AddonsLinker which I can see when running MSFS. However I cannot see the official content that I have installed, but they work. Hope someone can point me in…

I've bought a SOP1 and Animated FO for MSFS PMDG 737s. My PMDG 737-700 and 900 are from the PMDG website not the marketplace(I know marketplace version doesn't work) SOP1 works fine but Animated FO doesn't. When I give voice commands SOP1 recognizes and follow my exact order. But when I turn on the Animated FO instead of SOP1, I can't see my FO at all in my cockpit and my voice command doesn't work. I think speech recognize engine works fine because I saw the sentence what I said was on the panel of "Animated FO", but it doesn't react or follow my order at all. I tried re-install these softwares many times but nothing have changed. Do y…

Can someone who has the IniBuilds EGGW Luton airport addon installed please try it with PG disabled? The IniBuilds website information for the airport states that it is not compatible with PG switched off, but I am curious to know how incompatible it is. Are there serious elevation issues at the airport with PG disabled?

Ive noticed a weird issue with Flytampa's vegas scenery, fps is fine in most areas of the airport, but when looking down runway 26L/R FPS tanks, even taxing around the airport, if I look in that direction (toward allegiant stadium specifically) the FPS drops off. Its the only spot that this happens, but is a pretty big issue as the 26's are the standard runways at KLAS. Is there anything in that area that could be killing performance? Any files that I can remove to disable whatever it is that is causing this? Its making an otherwise nice airport a drag to fly into or out of.

Anyone tried it yet? Looks like another driver that will have no benefit to MSFS as far as I can see from the release notes.

Hi all. Loving the duke however, I can't seem to find the option to muffle the engine sounds such as when you have the headphones on or noise cancel simulation like the A2A comanche. I remember seeing the option in a preview video. Any help would be much appreciated Ash

So does anybody know why there is a difference in cost between SayIntentions.AI and BeyondATC? Both are using AI and both are also voice APIs to generate a more human sounding voice and/or regional accents. My understanding is that SayIntentions.AI is based off of ChatGPT, while BeyondATC is not based off of ChatGPT. Is that why SayIntentions.AI costs so much more than BeyondATC, because they have to pay a lot of money to use ChatGPT? Or is the voice API that SayIntentions.AI accessing for the voices, much more expensive than the voice API that BeyondATC is using?

Once I remove the flight control lock and move the yoke in the roll direction the yoke deflects to the right about 20-30.degrees. Will not center. (autopilot and pitch trim off), Turniing the pitch trim switch on and engaging the autopilot will cause the yoke to deflect all the way left. What am I missing or doing wrong here? Thanks for any quidance. Jim

I usually fly the Fenix A320 or HS 787. During take off, I apply rudder to keep the aircraft straight down the runway. When should this right or left deflection of the rudder be taken out? Sometimees on rotaion if I take it out, the nose yaws in the other direction.

This utility will automatically save your Flights in Flight Simulator when you exit so you can resume where you left. Easy to install and does not require any configuration. It will automatically save your flight when you end a session -or- by pressing CTRL+ALT+S. To resume a Flight simply go to the World Map and load the file called LAST.FLT. Its been released as open source so you can compile it yourself or download the binary. Testing was done with the PMDG 737-800 so it works 100% with that particular Aircraft. Some MSFS default aicraft were tested too with success but due to the complexity of some MSFS aircraft add-ons there is no way for me to test with every a…

Hi, When flying with airliners at cruise lvl around 30.000 - 40.000 the ground looks washed out, almost white, not close to what I see when flying in reality. I know it's supposed to show the moist in the atmosphere, but it's not how it looks. Is there a way to fix it without change anything else in the sim?
