I've recently been having a blast flying training scenarios in FSiPanel. It's a feature that I didn't even really realize existed when I bought FSiPanel and discovered almost accidentally while exploring the UI, so I thought I'd give a heads up. I always thought of FSiPanel as a tool for practicing approaches, and that's certainly one its primary purposes and what I bought it for. But the Advanced Edition also includes training scenarios. Some of these start at the beginning of a STAR and conclude in a landing, some of them are entire flights. Many of the scenarios include failures, but some are just interesting A-to-B flights. Think of these scenarios as the ki…

Anyone have this? Randomly. For the first time....I have no mouse, or joystick controls of any kind. Mid flight. They were working like 2 minutes ago. Headtracking....everything! I HATE THIS.

I must admit, as AutoFPS has become more and more complex/powerful, I'm not completely sure that my settings are optimal for my main type of flying - VFR GA up to around 7000'. Could any kind soul take a look at my settings here, and suggest any fields that I may not have set optimally for this kind of flying? I guess I'm most unsure about the OLOD settings. Thanks

I need all the help available. My PC is a Gen12 CPU with a 4060 video card. MSFS was running fine, installed in C:\users\name\appdata\local etc as is normal with the MS Store version. For non MSFS reasons I needed a reinstall of my C:\ PC. I have always relied on Macrium to do system back up of C: , captured after the first basic install, plus needed programs. Following instructions I reset my C: drive via the Macrium system backup. That all went well, all my basic programs like MS Office, various Adobe stuff, etc worked as expected. Now my PC has a SSD for C: with plenty of room for programs plus MSFS. After this system reinstall, MSFS ran all OK, b…

Can I set it to align to magnetic north? Or manually offset it? See below how my magnetic heading is 090, as well as my track, but the compass on the GPS screen (EHSI) shows my true heading pointing at roughly 115.

It's such a buggy programme: - purchased products (new OMDB) not appearing even after purchasing - constant errors about 'wrong username and password' when they were both correct - taking forever to load - crashing I've not had any issues with any other app, but this one is rubbish

I have a problem with my Kodiak. It doesn't appear to adhere to the phugoid motion. I would assume the real aircraft would. Am I wrong? Is my install corrupt? Fly cruise speed and trim the aircraft for level flight as best you can. Now let go of the elevator controls and see what she does. Mine, after a short while, will begin to pitch up or down and then continue to pitch more and more in that direction. It doesn't matter how slow or fast the aircraft gets, the nose will keep going in one direction. Every other aircraft I've tried will predictably have the nose come up when it gets more airspeed, or have the nose go down as it loses airspeed. However, the Kodiak doe…

Not sure what happened...but unable to start Fenix today. First attempt it appeared that everything was OK however once engine were running and I was unable to move at all (?!). I can see from outside that wheels are moving but actual plane didn't. I restarted again, loaded everything but fenix is not responsive. EFB message saying "unable to connect" and to check if Antivirus is not blocking...Checked and all good...Three times like that but still dead. I am able to log in into my Fenix from the desktop but that doesn't help.... Anyone has any suggestion except restart PC? I did 4 times. Thanks everyone

I just bought and setup a new yoke, it says Turtle Beach on it, so I hope that's the right thing. I can't make heads or tails of it. I can see it's installed and detected by the sim, I can even move mt primary control surfaces, but can't get the planes to move. Even if I push the throttle using the mouse, it just sets back to idle.

I don't know about you, but since the B2 release, the Fenix has became so addictive that can no longer fly anything else and only Fenix, the level of immersion is mind blowing. Thank you Fenix and Aamir for this beautiful bird, your hardwork is showing and looking forward for more birds from Fenix!

I just tried starting a flight at MDPP airport, one of the new airports in the latest WU. The runways are numbered incorrectly in the map where you select the starting point. ( 1 and 19 and the real runway at that airport is 8-26) I have tried to start flight at a ramp, and you get stuck on the loading screen forever. Guess they didn't beta test this. Wasted 45 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong. I tried to report this on the MS official forum but that forum is a horror story to work with.

Hi I just need some basic advice on the built-in a320. Obviously the aircraft has 2 engines, and I can get them running. The problem is I need to use my joystick for getting throttle, out of both engines at the same time! I can start the engines, and even move the aircraft if I point to a throttle, but I need to do that with both engines. Where do you do that on the joystick? I hope that makes sense? Please help, Gary

Hi everyone. Wonder if someone can point me in the right direction please. I created a flight plan in Simbrief today, exported it but could not import it in the TBM930 which I used to be able to do with the old Working Title mod. I have the Garmin G3000 by Working Title AND Avionics plugin G3000/G5000 by Navigraph installed. Anyone able to import a flight plan directly without having to manually enter it? Thanks

Hi, I can't play MSFS 2020. Every time I try appears the legend "We couldn't sign in to Xbox Live. Error 0x89235113". I exit and log into my account again and again, but to no avail. I go into a loop. The sim goes on, but then... "Press Any Button to Start" appears. Cntrl + Alt + Del to exit the program. Any solution?

Hi, Recently I have noticed that airport become blurry with a some increase in altitude above the ground. I'm almost sure it wasn't so visible before - looks like mipmapping (or something) doesn't work enough. The attached screenshot was taken with the following settings: AntiAliasing TAA anisotropic filtering x16 texture supersampling 8x8 TLOD 150 texture resolution ultra https://photos.app.goo.gl/4EmyXbRM7wDJzHes8 All settings seems fine, but picture is ugly...

I have come to the conclusion that, at least in my case, to enjoy a good immersion in MSFS, one of the most important things is that the airports have air traffic very similar to real time, and that the procedures have sanity. Both in the taxiout and the taxi in. It would be wonderful if Asobo designed a small application so that users could choose which runway any plane lands or takes off on. I say this because it often happens that you are going to take off on a runway, and you find that the rest of the planes take off in the opposite direction. With aiflow and fsltl it has been achieved that, at least, the approaches make sense, and resemble real life, since …

Dear FSHud creators, I guess I'm not the only one looking forward to the new update. Certainly, I am really enjoying FSLTL at airports of all sizes, and many times, when there is an error it is mainly due to AFCAD, which is poorly designed. Otherwise, something that is wonderful about FSHud is that you feel that you are integrated into the entire air traffic. So, the combination FSLTL and FSHUd can be really good... but: There are two things that do not exist: Jetways do not attach to airplanes. This is strange, because with FSLTL planes do. Could you add that option? On the other hand, when I use FSHud, (at least so far) there is less jet inje…

Hi there, We finally can announce we finished fine tuning the wing flex system! It's the first time ever you will see a true simulation of how the real A380 can achieve this incredible amount of lift. See video: https://streamable.com/5ov7sc
