    Can I use AviaPlanner (monthly subscription U$3.50 - AviaPlanner - Airport charts & Virtual Flight Planner) instead of Navigraph in GA planes and PMDG?

  2. Since it hasn't been posted here yet, I'll take the liberty of referring to the official survey on the topic: 'A new survey is available for MSFS 2024 players who would like to provide feedback on ATC non-English language quality: ATC Non-English Language Quality Survey - MSFS 2024 We’ve been continuing to improve ATC language quality for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and made changes to non-English languages in Sim Update 4. We’ve also resolved a handful of key issues based on your feedback. Please tell us more about how ATC performs in your preferred language(s) and aligns with real-world ATC.'

    Hi guys just looking for a little pointer on how to get night lights on other aircraft when I run PSXT with FSLTL, any ideas? cheers edited to add: it seems at nighttime, ( Edinburgh) the planes at gates ( showing on LNM) had lights on wingtips, the planes landing and taking off ( showing on LNM) weren't there at all, showing on LNM but not actually in sim

    I have the above installed and despite trawling the web and following numerous YouTube tutorials on mapping to my Velocity One Flightstick I cannot get the Lateral or Longitudinal trim to function. As per all the instructions, even Cowasim Manuals say map to the pov up/down/left/right hatswitch. it works on all the other helicopters?? Anyone got this working or am I missing something

    It seems that snow coverage is much more accurate since last year at least in NA, and especially near the ocean like at PAJN. Very noticible to me anyway. dd

    Changelog: **FSLTL Traffic Injector 1.8.2** available in FBW Installer App **Fixes** - Fixed issue where if the injector was expecting a STAR during flight plan creation, but none was found, flight plan creation would fail and the aircraft wouldn't be injected (thanks <@694590157239877632> ) - Separation Control (2020/2024): Fixed rare condition which would cause landing aircraft to try and maintain 40kt speed when leaving the runway centerline (when centerline was at or near 0/360 degrees) - Separation Control (2024): Fixed Separation Control not marking AI aircraft as having left runway leading to high unrealistic taxi speeds (this was due to a dif…

    I spent some time on Fenix's site and they say "Fenix User Guide C:\Program Files\FenixSim A320\docs." I have that folder but no docs. Where are these docs? Thanks.

  10. Hey guys, Hopefully someone can help me out. I'm ready to make the switch from 2020 to 2024. Except one issue. Now that the Fenix is FS24 native, i cannot find the aircraft.cfg to remove the default pushback. I am a GSX user, and it drives me nuts seeing 2 pushbacks at the gate. I could not find any instructions through google to remove on a native 2024 aircraft. Help is much appreciated. Thanks! -Tony@PVD

    The other day I flew from SEA to FAI which is Fairbanks Alaska in FS2024. The temperature in Fairbanks was -19C so pretty dang cold. I thought for how cold it was the city and surrounding areas looked pretty frozen and white which I thought looked pretty cool even if it was not exactly accurate. What bothered me was the airport was completely covered over in snow. I could not see the taxiway and the runway was completely covered in snow. It made seeing the actual runway almost impossible. Also I feel a large airport especially one like Fairbanks would have equipment to handle it. If it had a bare runway and taxiways with random icy patches it would look much more r…

  13. Hello, In order to test one theory, I disabled GSX and decided to play around with default ground services and when setting Ground, I have only Passenger Boarding and Pushback. What I am doing wrong? Thanks

    I have always enjoyed FS Realistic and I am about to buy the latest version. My question is how does it handle aircraft that already have head shake, gravity, etc if the aircraft like the MD11 already has it? Does it over ride it?

  15. Hi all Have never ever seen this before, but suddenly I can't get to the holding point without all gauges turning red and the message "WASM crash" on the 2024 PMDG 737. Have updated the aircraft. Not sure where to go from here. TIA!

  16. Great to hear a real pilot's viewpoint on MSFS 2024.

    Anyone know if and when the West Coast Servers for MSFS24 will be back up? I only see the East Coast for quite some time now.

  18. Hello, I have a problem with my MSFS2024. When I start my simulator, I can do everything as usual, I can start flights, etc., but after a certain amount of time (e.g., ~1 hour), I hear a crash sound and my entire system freezes (i.e., the image freezes) and I can't move the cursor or anything else. I looked at the crash report and it says: [OnCrash] Msg="GPU Device Removed" [Platform] CmdLine=[] [Engine] ReportVersion=10 I assume it's a problem with the graphics card (GPU), but the question is, what exactly could the problem be? What I have already done: - Completely reinstalled Msfs2024 - Reinstalled graphics card drive…

  19. It's been said this developer is lacking in everything but the visual department but it's gotten really bad. Not sure on the 2024 side but when I see things like AI popping up for this developer's aircraft when I install them into the sim dragging down in sim performance, performance that is way off for the target aircraft, and the B390 with reverse thrusters modeled for an aircraft that doesn't have them, something is way off. Then this developer has the gall to encrypt its aircraft in the sim where you can't correct some of these issues is insulting. I'm done with buying or installing this developer's aircraft if free. This developer has closed themselves off from di…

  20. I stopped flight simming with MSFS over 10 years ago due to a constant stream of problems with CTDs and various other problems that I simply no longer had time to try and fix. Do I miss flying with MSFS? You bet I do. I am envious of add-ons such as Beyond ATC which I did purchase and use when it first emerged. To see and listen to the videos of what BATC does now is just incredibly awesome and just makes me miss the whole experience even more. I had used every version of MSFS since its inception decades ago including to the wonderful heady years that Tom Allensworth started AVSIM and was still with us. I met Tom in Denver the year that some of us met togeth…

  21. I think we can all agree that it's time for PBY Catalina to appear in MSFS 2024. We had a decent one in FSX. Come on, I know I'm not the only one.

  22. Hi guys finally completed my transition to 2024 with the majority of my addons having updates to 2024 in the Marketplace or from the vendor. One that I'm a little puzzled about it ORBX's Leeds Bradford Airport. I purchased this through the Marketplace for 2020 and initially though oh it cant have been updated yet so had a search in the Marketplace and sure enough there is a 2024 version but I have to pay for it. Wondered if this was just an ORBX think but I do have other ORBX airports that I purchased in 2020 that have appeared to install in 2024.

    Hello, does anyone have this issue and/or knows how to solve it: In the main pilot view, Fenix A321 (it's just what I am using first, not specifically A321 now), the pilot view is slowly creeping up. Doesn't look like controller issue really, because it's very very slow. It takes about 15-30min, for the view to be towards the sunshade. Thanks

  24. Hi, Some of my Blacksquare Baron liveries have a black panel, where others have a beige panel. (I think same is true for the bonanza's) I would like them all to have beige. Which file(s) do I have to edit? Egbert

  25. Having intermittent problems with steering the Cessna 208 Caravan on the ground using the rudder. Not always - works ok sometimes but not the next. I have checked all the bindings and have removed any that might conflict. Have tried with rudder axis set up via MSFS controls and also via AAO's but same problem exists. Using MSFS 2024 store version. Anyone else encountered this and is there a permanent solution? An internet search suggests this might be a system problem? Thanks for any comments. Martin
