  3. So I have been curious about how iniBuilds sales have been doing in MSFS. As you may know, iniBuilds primarily develops for MSFS now, with most of their newly announced projects for MSFS these days. I didn't see anything about how have iniBuild's sales been doing in MSFS and I am curious to know how they are doing, especially the sales of their A300 for MSFS. But I did see this interesting reveal by their CEO UBaid, on how their scenery team has expanded from 5 people to 27 people, over the course of their scenery releases for MSFS: That's a pretty significant expansion. From 5 team members, to 27 team members, for their scenery division. I guess iniBuilds scene…

    Recorded video stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2049204189?t=00h04m35s My notes so far: last month highest number of per-month users ever, and 2nd highest for returning users WU16 and new water masking tools/techniques now in use.. They know about issues in certain areas.. north of the Caribbean not so good in terms of water masking, the southern region was good (i.e. Guadaloupe, Puerto Rico, etc). They're working on attempting to fix the not-so-good areas (doesn't sound like a simple fix to me) follow-up question in live chat: water masks not displaying at all since WU16 in some areas, what's ETA for fix? ... they are aware and looking into it. …

    Hi everyone Has anyone else had airports disappear after installing WU16. Some of mine that have disappeared are YARM, YSHL, YINV, WSSS. Other people have reported same issue after previous world updates but I cannot see a definite fix. I've tried reinstalling WU16, and unfortunately cannot raise a bug with Zendesk at the moment, keep getting a server error there. Any help is much appreciated. Cheers Niall

  10. Hope you good people don't mind my raising this here, as it seems some persons in the MSFS forums just aren't comprehending the issue. I recently got into the Kuro 787. And for the most part, really enjoy it. I believe it has great potential. (I am a seasoned PMDG pilot having flown all their commercial jets competently since FSX/P3D days and enjoy the Fenix A320 also). The issue with the Kuro, Horizon and Working Title/MS/Asobo 787 is this: Currently, on the B787 EFIS several of the dials can be manipulated by your mouse to turn either clockwise or anti-clockwise and provides an animated arrow signifying which direction you are engaging. This is extremely …

  11. New A300 pilot here with a question about approach flight plan course line. At Auckland NZAA I've selected the ILS 23L approach with D165M transition as my course. It has a really nice, long arc that I was looking forward to flying (or watching the nav ap fly): However when I programmed this into the A300 FMS, it gets all whacky and creates some crazy S curves that won't be flyable. Why is this? And will it actually try to literally fly this route or will it understand what it needs to do and fly more like the first image?

    Hi folks. My system has been running just fine recently. All of a sudden, starting this morning, the monitor graphics are perfect until it's time for the home screen to display and then all I see is a dull gray blurry image. Everything is displaying perfectly until the home screen. I have rebooted everything but that did not solve the problem. I don't know why everything before the home screen looks normal and the home screen won't display. Ideas?

    I am sorry if this has been discussed, did try to search but no avail. I landed H135 on a building and switch drone view and went up to around 800ft for sightseeing, and when I switched back to cockpit camera my fps dropped to 11-13. Locked at 37 and it was solid 35-37 in all phases of the flight. I needed to restart in order to get back to normal. No FG, just default dx11. Any help would be much appreciated

  15. I have a fairly vanilla other-traffic setup. I don't run any of the airline traffic models or anything. I usually run in Live traffic/wx mode. Even though some simmers do ridiculous things, it's still kinda fun to see other people flying near me. Today I was flying around TNCN and saw a couple of things I've seen before, and it reminded me I've been confused about it for awhile. There was an A320 doing a high-alpha maneuver right above the runway, then climbing at... Improbable speeds. Then there was a Mooney flying around exactly like a helicopter. Hovering, sliding, going backwards, etc. So are people monkeying with the visual models their aircraft displays ju…

  20. Does anyone else struggle to hear the cockpit voice on the 787 in MSFS (I’ve got HS SIM, KORO and WT)? I can barely hear V1, rotate and the altitude call outs on final. Earlier today I completely missed the 30ft call out and only noticed at 20ft so my flare was so late and I hit the runway really hard. Has anyone managed to fix this?

  21. I really don't like the Xbox Aviators Club liveries, and as I will neve use them (and they come to 1.5GB disk space), I tried to delete them from my Content Manager in the sim. This resulted in the sim hanging and I had to hard close it. I therefore went into the "Official" folder and removed the liveries manually. On launching MSFS, I then got a "Mandatory Update" of 1.5GB, which went ahead and reinstalled the XBox Aviators Club liveries!!! Can it be right that having some additional liveries of circa 1.5GB disk space, are "mandatory" as part of the MSFS installation?

    I came across a video on youtube for an A319 from Horizon Sim/LVFR that might have had some sort of FBW mod to it. From what I read about the FVFR planes is that they aren't very in depth and not worth it but this is the first time I have seen something about a FBW mod and Horizon Sim. Can anyone tell me more about this solution? I primarily fly the Fenix 320 so my guess is that this is not as in depth but was wondering if it has a fairly deep feature set and flight characteristics. It might tide me over until the Fenix releases their V2 eventually and their 319 down the road. Thought I would see if there were any reviews or if you can detail anything more specific …

    I've been meaning to ask this for a while and just remembered after last night's flight.. when is a good time to shut off the autothrottle when landing? (787-800 is what I fly) Does it depend on the LW of the aircraft? When you cross the threshold? 30ft from the ground? I'd be interested to hear what people go by when flying this bird.

    Recently reichert_bruno has uploaded an incredible Brasilia freeware (SBBR) that has a 4.98 rating after 80 reviews! The detail and textures are a standout especially the buildings and hangar textures etc. But just today FSoares has uploaded his own SBBR. I gotta say this one is modelled as close to real as possible. It has exquisite elevation updates including around the bridges. Incredible textures especially ground textures. Accurate color representation. Interior of terminals like it came from Inibuilds. It's really hard to pick it but I'm giving it to FSoares! What do you think??
