  1. I've tried everything and nothing works! The FBW A320 and other aircraft have custom FIXED views of the wings, belly, engines etc, some from outside, some from inside. You can edit these views in the Camera cfg, to produce for example an alternative wing view from the passenger cabin. But what I cannot do is find a key binding to get back to the cockpit view from a FIXED view. It just doesn't work whether I use standard view keys like restore cockpit view, or any other key. I can see from various past threads here and at other sites that I'm not the only one. It's very important to grasp that FIXED views are entirely different from other custom views. They are not th…

  3. Hi all, This is a problem a friend of mine has. He is 80 years old and loves MSFS. He even has a triple screen home cockpit .Loading into the scenery is working fine. All menus do work before Flying. When using Esc the sim freezes. What he tried : - deleting the user.opt file - instead of loading in windowed mode loading in fullscreen mode - making the windowed mode window smaller before using Esc - lower settings Both cpu and gpu temps are not very high. All other suggestions are very welcome. Thanks in advance on behalf of Frank.

    Here is Jonzac airport (LFCJ) created by Yves P. The Jonzac - Neulles aerodrome is an aerodrome open to public air traffic (CAP), located in the municipalities of Saint-Germain-de-Lusignan and Clam, 4 km north of Jonzac, in Charente-Maritime. It is used for leisure and tourism activities (light aviation, helicopter and hot air ballooning). https://www.simvol.org/en/downloads/airports/jonzac

  5. Might be a fun marketplace offering to accompany each new World Update. UK nominations. 1) The Blackburn Botha. A reconnaissance plane whose cockpit provided horrible visibility. 2) The Brewster Buffalo. Ugly fodder for Japanese Zeros. 3) The Fairy Battle. The Germans shot down a 100 of these in a single week.

    Hello, I would like to know why, after I bought a CJ4 citation (New), I have a “remaining cargo space = - 444” ? Consequently, I can’t select any job with this plane. Somebody can help me ? Thanks.

  7. I have 3 achievements remaining: Saddle sore, World Traveler and Jack of All Planes. While World Traveler is progressing normally and I haven't found yet the will to do Saddle Sore, Jack of All Planes is giving me trouble. This achievement is stuck at 20% but I am sure I did a 300+ NM flight with at least 5 airplanes of the standard edition. I keep an Excel file to keep track and today I did the 6th flight, according to my record, with the C208. Empty community folder, default aircraft with default livery, parking to parking guided by ATC from CnD to engine/battery/avionics off and it didn't count, despite correctly recorded in the logbook 😞 Did anyone…

  11. Hi, After downloading the last City update, I see that the new elements are very awful. Eg : in Konstanz town, Mainau island or Strasbourg i see a lot of blocs that should be trees or so. The forests seem like before, but the first range of trees is weird. A lot of objects are very awful. I deleted the cache and set the details to ultra but after a week, I have no idea. Has anybody the same problem ? Regards

    I thought I had read that the issue(s) with the above feature were fixed. I am in the Beta for SU15. However, when I go into General Options and select Full Screen and hit OK, my screen goes black for about 5-10 seconds and then the options screen appears again and the system has not switched to full screen mode. Thoughts???

    Hello: For some reason, all of a sudden, all sorts of "Flight Assistance" items appeared. I was able to turn off most of them, but still have on the bottom right and left of my cockpit view assistance on airspeed, Engine 1, Engine 2, Fuel, AOA, Flaps , trim , altitude. Anyone know where I would shut that off? Thanks, Dave

    I carefully watch the A330 Driver videos and in this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_p3If-d1Mk between 1:08:56 and 1:09:42, I don't have the same scenery (I'm in ULTRA), would you know if it's the normal landscape or if A330 Driver uses an add-on? Thank you in advance for your opinions

  21. I've been perplexed at why it is I seem to be one of very few who find artifacts associated with hardware based Nvidia DLSS Frame Generation usually much too severe to ignore so 90% of the time I have FG turned off, which of course is unfortunate at best. Oddly, and this seems mostly to do with time-of-day lighting (dawn/dusk seems worse), sometimes these aberrations are modest enough to use FG so I do. For me these artifacts happen with any kind of motion including the plane rolling or panning the cockpit and include: Flickering/strobing when looking at tarmac, typically out the side window of the airliners I fly. Shimmer/flicker of certain elements in glas…

    So I recently installed the plane and have an issue with not being able to enter an airport into the EFB. In general, I am familiar with how the EFB works as I have used in other planes such as the PMDG 747 and 777 in P3D, Basically I am able to enter some info into the performance page of the EFB manually such as the weather and weights but no matter what I do, I can't enter an airport into this page as I can click the search airport button, and it looks like it's doing something but nothing happens. Also, nothing happens when I click the copy the FMC data button even though I have a route entered and fill out all the data in the PERF page. Any suggestions on what I…
