  1. VPC MongoosT-50CM2 - anyway to bind the rudders Hi, Using The Thrustmaster T16000 throttle right now. Its best feature is the levers for rudders. Looking into a used VPC MongoosT-50CM2, but I see nothing for rudder use and I do not want to get rudder pedals. Anyone out there using the T50CM2 for rudder control Thanks Ron

    This is an early preview of AI injection and control by VoxATC. AI models will be immediately recognised by those using AIG traffic (and interested in an offline traffic experience with voice controlled ATC), as models and flight plans are by AIG with ATC behaviour controlled by VoiceATC. It's an early preview so not representative of the final product, as there are fixes still to come both to AI behaviour and voice quality. And because no preview is complete without showing the product from an end user point of view, here's an approach into LPPD using VoiceATC, showing voice recognition and interaction with the end user.

  3. Hey all,wondering how i can use a virtual cockpit from one airplane in a different plane. I found this global express on flightsim.to https://flightsim.to/file/35553/bombardier-global-6000-e-11aand I was wondering since i own the aerosoft CRJ, cant I just use the vc from that in the global? I tried to copy the interior model files from the crj into the global and then re assign the cfg to use the "CRJ900.XML but all I get is the airplane with no cockpit....Can someone point me in the right direction especially if you happen to have the CRJ (the global is free), and chance i can get some help here?

    I recently purchased the SWS PC12 and are having some issues. I know there were issues with the takeoff code that were adjusted but it still seems to be very squirrelly on the ground right at 80knots. Is this still the issue for everyone? Also on landing why does it pitch up violently, it seems smooth and then major pitch up and begins to porpoise.? I have watched a number of live streams as well. I hope Asobo gets this ground simulation correct in 2024. I heard there is a ground simulation and a flight simulation that was causing issues. I don't have the issue with the BS TBM 850 or the FSreborn.

  5. HI, When I use GNS530 (working title), most of the time, VOR(OBS) doesn't coupled with GPS, just showed off-flags, every time selecting RNAV approach when the airplane is on the ground, but selecting the approach when the airplane is in the air usually it coupled with GPS. When selecting an airport, it always coupled with VOR even the airplane is on the ground. This issue happens every airplane and only when selecting approach. Is there any fix for this? Incidentally, I didn't install any MOD for GNS530. Thanks,

    Dear MS and Asobo, I have seen the seasons in the 2024 trailer; wonderful! To add to the realism, please include accumulating and melting snow in 2024. Realistically falling snow and blowing snow would be huge benefits as well. I like to see a clear effect of freezing and thawing temperatures on the environment, including precipitation, something that is sorely missing in 2020. Thank you!

  9. As of today, my alpha, bravo and rudder pedals are no longer being recognized in sim. I know it’s got to be something stupid I’m missing, because all three units are still recognized by my PC and in the Steam Controller section. I’ve tried restarting sim and PC, unplugging and plugging back in all peripherals, turning off all addons, etc… No joy. Anyone able to help?

    Does anyone know which captainsim 767 liveries on Flightsimto actually work? I've downloaded about 10 of them and non of them actually work. They all have a black halo around the fuselage just behind the flight deck. Only one didn't but is just black around the fuselage at the wing root. I don't know why the authors even upload them when none of them actually work. Anyway if anyone can direct me to even one that works that would be great. I'm loath to give CS another single penny of my hard earned cash.

    I have experienced three CTDs in the past week (all of them during loading of a saved scenario). This has not been any great problem, as they all loaded properly on the second attempt. However, I just wondered if anyone else is getting CTDs, or if it is something to do with my own PC? I have not suffered a CTD during any of my (admittedly short) flights.

    Is there any website that shows which gate a flight departed from and arrived to (historical data obviously) - mainly outside of the NA region? I couldn't find this on FlightAware nor in FR24, at least not that i could find. I did find that flightstats.com has partial information that sometimes shows the gate(s) but many times it is blank (Outside the US mainly). I want this information when flying offline for my flight planning to try and simulate the departure and arrival gates as well.

    Seems to have been neglected as far as world updates go and I doubt I'm alone in considering it a continent crying out for exploration in the Sim. Anyone have recommendations for scenery addons both free and payware worth getting? (especially covering small airstrips and such)

  15. Dear friends: 1. I have installed HS 787-9 from Flightsim.to into my Community folder. 2. Installed Headwind sim installer. Installed Mike's improved cockpit texture through the insraller. Now, how do I confirm my default 787-10, Kuro 787-8 and HS 787-9 are using Mike's improved cockpit textures? Regards, Haseen Ahmad.

    Hey Guys, For the last 4 or 5 days my Sim takes way longer to load than it ever did before, typically it sits on the screen checking for updates for upwards of 5 minutes and then once I select the "Fly Now" button it is also really slow to get to the aircraft. I have tried this with default aircraft and my usual Fenix, PMDG & TBM 850. I have also lost all ATC Audio and just now when I did eventually get too the gate at EGPH in the Fenix I immedietly got an error about my bandwith being too low and all photogramety was disabled. I have a 1.5Gb/s Fibre optic line and my speed test shows everything is normal. I know here was a server outage last week but my sim…

  17. Can someone please point me to instructions on saving -- if possible -- a completed FMS flight plan for the Asobo 747 and 787? I suspect this question has already been asked and answered, but I couldn't find any information after a thirty-minute search here and elsewhere. I like using the built-in MSFS world-map flight planner, which exports the flight plan into the default 747 and 787 FMS. (I wish you could do this with a PMDG aircraft.) Usually, however, there are discontinuities and other errors that show up in the 747 and 787 FMS waypoints. After I finally hand-correct the flight plan in the FMS, I can't figure out how to save the corrected plan for future use.…

    Amongst the many looping/repeating sounds that the various Cowansim helis create the little sped-up rubber-tyre/hitting-the-runway sound drives me nuts. It's a short high-pitch little noise, with her apparent association with any action. Anyone know what it is, if I can somehow circumvent it? * Poorly described symptoms, I know. Apologies. 😳

  19. I am very fortunate to have a very high end system with an I9-13900K and an RTX 4090 and somehow, I am getting very crappy performance in MSFS with mostly medium settings. This screenshot is in KJFK and the task manager shows that both the CPU and GPU are barely working, and yet, according to MSFS, I am still limited by MainThread. Somehow, I must have done something bad somewhere since I used to get much better performance in the past, although never as good as I expected with such hardware. I am thinking that maybe now is the time to format my C: drive and start all over again 😢, or wait for MSFS 2024 😁. I'm open to any suggestions. Thank you htt…

  20. Is anyone else having this problem ? I can find the category, but when I click on it, nothing comes up. It's as if no liveries have been uploaded. I've tried other ways round it, such as searching for the De Havilland category - liveries for the Twin Otter, Caribou and Ant's Tiger Moth all come up okay - but not the Dash 7.

    I see there is a very wrong thread regarding the frame generation mod so I apologize for a new thread. I just had a few questions and thought it would be finding a needle in a haystack in that thread. Can someone answer the following? 1) what does it do exactly and does it work? I have a 3080 TI 2) any issues with it and the Fenix? 3) Is it easy to set up? Does it require lots of technical installation/editing? Thanks!

    Hi, Whats the secret on setting up T-Pend rudder pedals / toe brakes to get the bird to move ? Pushback was successful, parking brakes off, and she just wont move. Latest build 0.7.3 on latest MSFS. Somethings's changed since last I tried this bird cuz it used to work great. And these pedals work fantastic with PMDG and FSL in the other sim.

  23. After our London discussion (of how bad it looks), I was wondering what's everyone's take on the best regions in MSFS for photogrammetry? Here's my list so far: 1. The State of Florida 2. The South West US (California, Arizona, Utah, etc) 3. PNW (Pacific Northwest - US) 4. Hawaii Would love to here were the best flying locations are worldwide in the sim.🍺 We more than have enough locations that leave allot to be desired.😌

    I have just taken my PMDG 737-600 for a quick circuit of St Maarten, and I noticed something whilst heading towards what I think is St Barthelemy Island. I noticed a large black rectangle in the sea right next to the island, and this gradually disappeared as I approached. However, when I looked to my right as I was passing, I noticed a large number of trees in the water where the black rectangle had been, but they quickly disappeared. I could get them to display again if I looked in the opposite direction, but they disappeared again as soon as I looked at them. Has anyone else noticed something like this in the area? I am using the hand crafted Gaya Simulations versi…
