We just got the Spit IX - anything else coming soon?

I really want this one now. Having just come back from a great camping trip in the PNW, this brings back great memories. I can easily see landing by some beautiful lake, setting up a camp fire, putting the coffee pot on, and just sitting back and watching the sun set. :0)

Hi all, those that use the Nvidia recorder to record their flights, how are you getting a smooth play back when playing back your flight as an MP4? I sim runs very smooth with frames unlocked. But in the playback when the takeoff roll starts things start to get a bit choppy and jumpy even though during the recording it was nice an smooth. I have tried 30 frames and its horrible, 60 frames is not too bad during flight and taxi but landing and takeoff its a different story. I even cranked the bitrate to max but that made no difference. How are other Youtubers getting such smooth playback when recording their flights? I have tried locking frames, unlocking frames, G-Sy…

Anyone use self loading cargo with Fenix a320? If so what other addons do you run with it? I'm considering getting it and I will probably get gsx-pro as well. I have had fs2crew in the past for pmdg aircraft but the 320 is pretty automated so I'm not sure it is really worth it for this plane. Looking for things to increase my immersion.

Anyone else have all their AIG aircraft missing the landing gear after latest update of AIG manager? There also seems to be some other weird artifacts with some aircraft light the model isn't loading correctly. I haven't seen any posts about it so wondering if it is some setting I need to enable/disable thanks,

Hi, I know this has been discussed before,but I still want to go over this. I have a 32 inch monitor, so 27 inches across. sitting around 24 inches from the monitor using Track IR I have been playing with the Zooms and so far I think I like 65 or 70 zoom and I think I will add a little as if I am sitting a little higher. My question apart from what you think of these settings is what does that do to the view outside the windshield. Cause I am not just zooming the inside of the plane, but outside follows. Will this still look realistic as far as field and depth of view or will things 30 yards out look like its 10 feet away Ron

Please help me... The cockpit camera (pilot view) lost configuration, all planes. Stuck in a kind of floor view upwards, high zoom mode. Here I'm running the MSFS 2020 Steam edition. Any sugestion?

Hi, now with the horizon simulations enhancement, is the LVFR a321 Neo worth it? And is it VATSIM friendly?

I keep seeing references to problems with encrypted files in products like aircraft bought from the Marketplace. I've never been aware of any such problems on my system, but was curious if anyone could give me an example (ideally an actual file from an actual aircraft maybe?, or if not then the type of file to check) and I'll check if I do indeed have a problem with it. Only reason I'm asking is that if I don't have a problem with encryption and others do, I might be able to suggest a solution but I don't want to suggest a "solution" if I actually still have the problem without realising it.

As per title. Release notes are in the link... https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/sim-update-14-beta-release-notes-xbox-1-35-17-0-pc-1-35-18-0-november-17-2023/617018

Hello, i am using the Fenix A320 for a couple of days. The first flight was ok but on the following flights I always have the problem that the takeoff and cruising altitude work wonderfully but then an overspeed warning comes and the AP switches off. If I then reduce speed, the A/T also switches off and the bird can hardly be controlled anymore because it goes into an uncontrolled climb. I had the same phenomenon when I went into descent, then had an overspeed warning and the descent turned into a climb. What am I doing wrong?

I'm probably going next year. Just wondering who else might be.

Hello all, I have finally decided to buy the PMDG BBJ and I would dearly love a talented person to do a repaint for it. This request is based on an old FS2004 IFly 737-900 as a BBJ and can be found on the old Flight 1 library files system (FS2004 IFly 737 BBJ - Five Star Charter) done by Karzhol Designs for me a long time ago. If some wonderful person is willing to do this for me, please just say yes and I will msg you with an image of the aircraft. The design is mine and is dedicated to my lovely Indonesian wife, to whom I have been married for nearly 20 years. The only other thing to be aware of is that I wish it to be freely available via Flig…

I typically disengage the AP at 500' agl and always its trim is off enough to make the disengage jerky, way too jerky, unlike any other planes I use. Thoughts?

I flew the MU 2 from Flysimware in FSX The Ini Builds version has a really outdated navigational system. Is there anyway to set the Altitude Hold other than monitoring the altitude in a descent / climb and the hitting the altitude hold button? I wonder if there is a replacement panel? Thanks

developers keep slinging out airbus for MSFS the reason for this is, the flight model in MSFS is not good at all.. and you can "hide" it by the extra layer of Airbus FBW laws... why do we need a Asobo A320, FBW A320, Fenix A320, and now INI A320??? do the users have some obsession with this airplane? there seems to be such a fascination with OCD personality and configuring exactly what brake fans or sharklets your airbus has... how about getting the flying model close to being correct? plus the Headwinds A330 which is just a FBW A320 skin... MSFS out for 4+ years and no decent boeing long haul aircraft available.. instead you have to cope with…

All of a sudden, can't sign in.

Just watched a Discord Presentation from Rex with details of the new version of AccuSeason, available in the next week or two. Highlight for me are new terrain textures with relevent colouring for the particular season. Also included are 40 cloud presets. Upgarade is free for current users and $24.95 for new customers. The screenshots were amazing, giving MSFS a more natural and realistic feel to the colours.

They are at 20% done for KJAX. Bought time we finally get a good Jacksonville scenery for MSFS. Got his RSW, FAT and PVD and enjoy them. Comming Soon | Fly 2 High

Is there anyway to start a flight without the engines running?
