  1. EFB and A/P correct functionality with the LNAV for PMDG in MSFS2020 On the EFB, one of the standard worldwide requirements is to have an accelerate-stop distance calculation information. The distance required to accelerate to V1 with all engines at takeoff power, experience an engine failure at V1, abort the takeoff, and bring the airplane to a stop using braking action only (use of thrust reversing is not considered). That takeoff distance must not exceed the length of the runway or any stopway/clearway. Besides meeting regulatory requirements, it is also crucial during line operations and decision-making. The airplane's FMC, A/P, FD, and LNAV integ…

  2. Since I installed SU14 everything has been working fine EXCEPT ORBX KPHL is now a slide show for some reason. Was completely fine beforehand. Was just curious if anyone else experienced this with KPHL or other ORBX sceneries. Thanks, Dave

    Last week all power management worked OK. When I tried to fly this aircraft this week I was unable to advance the power past idle setting. (Bravo Throttle Control) I checked all the settings and bindings and they are OK. I selected a different aircraft and the throttles work fine. I am at a loss here. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers.....Herman

    For a couple months now, every time I start MSFS a blank window opens labeled Console, along with the normal MSFS window. So I just minimiize the console window and forget about it. But I'm wondering what it is. Here's what it looks like. By the way, it has nothing at all to do with the Dev Mode - Tools - Console window, which looks like this:

    All of a sudden a Console window has started opening along with the MSFS main window. And if I close it MSFS quits as well. Everything "works/does not work" as "normal", as long as I leave the empty Console window open. Has anyone else had this happen? It just started this morning.

    I currently fly the Fenix with a desktop (specs in my sig) and have a throttletek thrust lever, a realistic A320 side stick and rudder pedals. All of these basically are run off of a desk with a monitor behind it. Is there anything else out there that I could purchase that would give me a little better feel of a cockpit for the A320 and also be able to place my side stick, and thrust lever in a semi realistic position? Are there any other plug and play hardware for other parts of the cockpit that works with the Fenix? It has been a while to see what is out there so i was curious. For the sake of conversation, money isn't an option but it must work in MSFS and be pref…

    Yes, I know there are other threads on this utterly dire release, but none that refer to my problem, and I really need some help (please!). I read the other thread and that there had been updates to this plane now. I am using SU14 beta. I purchased from Aerosoft One today. On loading the aircraft:- - There is no power when I turn on the battey (only with ext power) - The fuel levers are unresponsive and will not move - The fuel pump switches are unresponsive and will not move - It is therefore impossible to start the engines - Even when starting on the runway in MSFS, the plane is dead. - The loading menu refers to 'easy' and…

    I plan a flight into KTUS landing runway 12 using simbrief. I select the STAR approach DINGO6. I then start setting up the FMC in the 787-9 and find the fmc reports NO STAR is available for runway 12. I plan the same flight using PMDG 737-7 and it does list the DINGO6 STAR as possible for the runway 12. I do not know any way to update the navdata for horizon 787-9 Thanks, Jim Brady w6hxw

    Am flying the DC-3 Retro panel (example Emerald Harbor) with the Duckworth enhancement addon. Having a problem with the auto pilot. It engages the Heading and the Altitude buttons but will not engage the NAV button and sometimes it will not engage the Approach button. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I’ve been using the throttletek a320 flight box for a few months and it’s awesome. I highly recommended it. The one issue I haven’t figured out is the correct mapping of the start ignition switch. I can put the ignition to start on the flight box, but in the sim it will flicker on and off and make a clicking sound. The engine will start but it’s just a little annoying. I’ve searched but haven’t found any tutorials to map that switch in particular. Anyone else have this issue? I also had that when using thrusmaster throttle as well. Any tips?

  13. Hi everyone I am using JouJou92's excellent GMME and GMMH freeware sceneries. However, both of them are now displaying a strange issue - both of them show a sort of "ghost" two-runway airport layout with taxiways and aprons: GMMH GMME The "ghost" layout has nothing to do with either airport (number of runways, orientation, layout, etc) and is exactly the same on both sceneries. And it's even stranger that I've had and used GMME for months and everything was normal until yesterday. Anyone has any idea on what causes this and how to fix it? Cheers

    Thought it was SU14 beta but went back to SU13 and same issue. Just recently the AP light on the Bravo will not illuminate, The AP works as expected but the main AP light is not lit. All other lights work as expected. Using Better Bravo Lights. Fired up P3D and all lights work so the Bravo is functioning. Renamed Community - no joy. Anyone run into this before? It's annoying but at least the functions work. Thanx!

    Since MSFS start, I have used an XBox controller to control my Drone View. Lately, I can go to Drone view with the usual button press on the Controller, but going back to the VC now requires clicking the Camera button on the MSFS toolbar. I used to be able to press the same XBox controller button to jump back into the VC. I “believe” it was mapped to Home (or End), cant remember which and I am away from the Sim atm. Did one of our updates change this behavior? Thoughts most welcome… @Bert Pieke Ta- C

    Hi, I'm having problems with Fenix landing. Everything is fine until landing, I'm on automatic thrust control. Shortly before landing I get a speed warning and I no longer have any speed. I posted a video of the landing. Can anyone see where I made a mistake? In any case, I find it very strange.. I mainly fly Boeing, but I have probably flown over 300-400 FSLabs.. I didn't have any problems with Fenix either.. I haven't flown Fenix for a few months and have only had the problems recently thx

    Hello, First time here, long time flight simmer. Up until now, I've never had a CTD. After the SU14, I now get a CTD on start up with an associated Error code 00xc0000096. I've tried to ensure all drivers are up to date, they are! Repair and reset do not work. Is there somewhere that I can report this to or any ideas about how I should proceed to get my sim up and running? Tank you in advance! H
