Hello, please I need your advise for a issue for mouse use in MSFS. Very difficult to use the mouse pointer on any aircraft panel. So unusual issue to be so difficult to press any button on the panel. Please advise Thank you.

In the small island of Nevis, there is mount Nevis at the center, few miles South of KTNP with, oh surprise !, a sloped meadow at the 960 m top which looks like a great bush strip. You don't see it on Google Earth. Finding it while exploring the island : Then hopping into the Porter and landing there. Beware the slope is quite steep ! And don't forget to rev up just after stalling on the ground to climb the slope. Great vista to Saint Christopher Island

At the moment, my MSFS time is spent solely in GA aircraft of all shapes and sizes. I've been exploring options for getting some nice GA AI traffic into the sim ..... but not really getting any where. I notice that, unlike FSX where you could separately dial up GA and Airliner AI traffic, MSFS doesn't seem to have any capability for GA traffic. When I was flying tubes I used to use FSLTL, but again this seems limited to airliner traffic. From reading Justflight's product page for FS Traffic, I can't see any reference to specific GA traffic. So, am I wasting my time and it's just not possible, or is there a product that can satisfy the desire to have G…

I gave it up for a while. I got into a couple other pastimes, enjoyed other games and sims, and when you don't practice your flying very much it seems to freak you out a little about jumping back in. I have to say, I haven't flown anything since probably February of last year and HOLY word not allowed! The sim looks, runs, and performs so much better! I took a little while to sit down with my favorite youtube channels to brush up on what I forgot and absolutely GREASED a landing into Vancouver (CYVR) with all the settings maxed and hitting over 100 FPS the whole time. It's an absolute joy. I forgot how calming and rewarding this pastime is. Grea…

This great heads up thread made me think about something :- .....the truth is I used to buy quite a lot of scenery back in the FSX days (I was on FSX from 2006-2016, before switching to XP11, and then to MSFS in 2020). But, the types of purchases I used to love were bundles or packages of multi airfields. There are so few of these available for MSFS. Anyone remember Graham and Pacific Island Simulations? I loved his product line; bundles of 4-8 airfields. He had St Maarten (4 airfields I think?), Guadeloupe (6-8?) and even a superb "VFR Appalachea" package with about 5-6 airfields in US Appalachea. I flew between Graham's airfields more than…

… but never dared to do (maybe it is allready discussed or nobody except me cares) if I start a new flight in MSFS I have do choose the departure airport. The items in the combobox offer the last DEPARTURE airport(s). As I use to fly from airport to airport (most of the time) I would expect to find my last ARRIVAL airport in the Item list and not the last DEPARTURE airport (because I do not „beam“ back there to start the flight again but want to continue my travel from where I am, right?). so I have to put in the ICAO code of my present location each time to find my departure airport. Is that something that touches you in the same way or do you say: Next …

I am interested in purchasing this airport, and the screenshots of it on the MS Marketplace look really nice. However, 30% of the review scores are ONE star, and only 37% are FIVE stars. Is there a reason why there are so many one star reviews?

I have been considering purchasing this airport, as I am always impressed by the attention to detail in FlyTampa airports. However, I have noticed a graphical issue in at least three videos of this airport (including the official trailer) that is holding me back. That issue is strange black lines that appear and disappear in the water surrounding the airport. I know that this would drive me nuts, so I would like to know if this problem is evident for everyone, or whether it has been corrected?

I have created scenery to emulate a real life water airport where aircraft (in real life) are parked in one particular direction (next to the dock) and to taxi to the (water) runway need to do a 180 degree turn after departing the dock and there is a pier opposite the dock and the very poor turning circle of the DHC2 Beaver prevents a 180 degree turn without touching the pier opposite. I imagine perhaps in real life a dock hand might manually push the front of the float away from the dock so that the floatplane is then angled away from the dock before the engine is started. I am wondering if there is a pushback 'tool' which allows the aircraft to be pulled forwa…

Hello, so I am currently trying to do a flight in the WB Sim Cessna taking off from Homer Airport in Alaska which has an elevation of 84 feet. I have live weather turned on and according to ATIS the altimeter setting is 29.95, however when I set this in the aircraft the altimeter actually shows a negative altitude of a few hundred feet and i am curious if this is normal or not. So is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

Hi, I had a very strange problem yesterday. Shortly before landing, I no longer had any control over the yoke, nor did I have any thrust in my Honeyomb Bravo. It was a 4 hour flight with PMDG 737-800… Everything was ok… I even took control about 4 minutes before landing and everything was still ok. Then I wanted to take control at 1000 ft, but Honeycomb Yoke did not respond to deactivating the AP… Controlling was also not possible. Bravo also caused a problem. Flaps or air brakes worked… all buttons actually worked, but only thrust didn’t work… Very strange. While the problem occurred, I quickly looked into Windows joy.cpl and everything work…

Can anyone tell me what determines if snow will be displayed in MSFS particularly with Rex Weather Force? I've done a few flights with it and all of them have had snow on the ground regardless if snow was in the metar. One of the flights I had snow from Chicago to Florida. Someone told me it was a bug with Rex but I wasn't sure exactly how it is determined if snow will be showing. Thanks!

!. How come every time there is a new update of any kind, all (or a lot) of my downloaded aircraft, updates, scenery, etc. in Content Manager are listed as "Not Installed" ? 2. Why are not latest airports selected for a flight in World Map not shown in the Departure/From list for later flights ? Dave Hinson

Norway is a joy to fly in because of many reasons. One of them are the neat and tidy STARs which always align properly and logically with the approaches. Other countries often seem to make a mess of the final stage of flight.... Odd curves in the plan, having to fly over waypoints multiple times, things not connecting... Yikes! Countries like Italy and Great Britain come to mind. Love to fly there, hate the final stage of flight though so seldom fly there. Anyone knows which countries have neat and tidy procedures like Norway? Preferably in Europe but other countries are welcome too.

Since I use FSHUD for ATC and AI traffic I have the default ATC disabled. When I park some aircraft at ramps with jetways, and those aircraft don not include any jetway functionality, in P3D I would use CTRL-J to ask for the jetway dock /undock, but in MFS 2020 I can only do it through the Ground Services which require interacting with the ATC. Is there an alternative, not counting GSX? Thx!
