    I thought this video may prove interesting for those same simmers who've found my previous videos of this product helpful.

  4. Hi guys, I need some help with getting Rex AccuSeeasons - Advanced Edition to work in MSFS 2020 on my windows 11 PC. I have downloaded the programme that I purchased, and installed it on a separate drive in its own folder as advised, and also excluded that folder from Trend Micro Maximum Security, which protects my PC. Rex AccuSeasons - Advanced Edition is set to 'run as administrator'. When the programme first opened up, I registered it and it opens up exactly as shown in the installation guide. I have then selected options, such as terrain and/or weather and 'applied' them to MSFS 2020. Files are shown downloading and I wait until that is completed, and then c…

    I never look at the logbook, all my flights are recorded either on my VA or A pilots LIfe V2. I decided to see what is in the MSFS logbook today, and when I brought up the logbook page, it said " No entries" and immediately MSFS locked up. Couldn't get away from that screen, finally had to use taskmanager to close down MSFS. I restarted MSFS again, just to see if that was a one off, and same exact thing happened. Anyone else see that?

    Hi! Out of blue, without installing or uninstalling anything, my mouse " lost precision", meaning now I need to click several millimeters below the normal click spot. And that in a DC6 is a nightmare! Mouse is just plug and play, without any driver I could reinstall and windows 11 doesn't offer any reset button. Does anybody bhave any idea how to fix it!?

    Has anyone explored using the new Kombo Strike settings in the MSI BIOS with the 5800X3D? Info. seems a bit limited but from what I can tell, it seems to increase performance whilst reducing core voltage and temperatures especially on single core applications (which msfs appears to be). It would be interesting to share any experiences and feedback especially if anyone has benchmarked with their msfs installation and settings. From what I am able to tell, it seems to be doing what it is supposed to.

    I am chatting to a friend who has shown more than a little interest in flight simulation. It seems he wants to eventually build a motion platform for MSFS and has asked me for some help. I am in the dark with this specific request and was wondering if anyone here could offer a few lines of advice or a link/links to some good information. I know there are some commercially available products aimed at the hobbyist but I'm wondering if these are in fact any good. However, I get the impression he would like to build his own and wondering if this is a viable idea?

    Used the sim twice yesterday and it worked fine. This morning I go to launch MSFS and at first it starts okay but after a short period of time I get a XBOX pop up suggesting I opt into some sort of diagnostics feature. After hesitating I did and I thought it would be fixed and MSFS proceeds to boot up. I get the Press Any Key to Continue but when I press it the process just repeats with that XBOX pop up again. MSFS won't launch currently! I tried to log off then back into the Microsoft store and log in and back on the xbox thing but the problem seems to have worsened. Even though I am logged into the XBox thing it says I am not which is odd. This is PC version …

    I seem to behaving a few of these lately (I use TrackIR, Littlenavmap and FSLTL). Whilst I'm sure this has been discussed on here before, a search did not reveal any discussions on the subject, so I thought I would ask if anyone else is getting these and whether there is a solution?

    When T2G KMCO came a while back, the reviews were pretty bad. I see that it is on sale (not a blowout sale of course at 20%), and I am curious if with the updates, it is worth picking up now. The SimMarket reviews are all over the board, so I am curious as to whether anyone can recommend this currently. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Pete

    Dear friends, I need your help with a strange problem. FS2020-G36 Bonanza Plane-MFD-GARMIN1000. For some reason ONLY in the BonanzaG36 the map is not displayed and the buttons indicate Key1, Key2 etc, screen it's black, while engine rpm and temperatures are displayed, the problem appears immediately on the track with the engine running. I have already done the following tests Cleared the cache Deleted the Community folder I deleted and reinstalled both Bonanza 36 and g1000 from "Content Management", but I didn't get any results. The strange thing is that other aircraft using the G1000 have NOT encountered any problems with the operation and display…

    I have thrustmaster T. Flight rudder pedals but just recently when applying brakes I then have to use the keyboard ctrl + num decimal option to release them. This is with stock and pmdg 737 aircraft. I have fsuipc installed but no axis are assigned to brakes so there should be no conflict. Have assigned a new keyboard profile to remove the keyboard command but the problem still exists. Would appreciate any advice to remedy this. Thanks Phil

  20. This may sound like a stupid question. Let me explain. After the last upgrade my fs2020 didn't display as before. Bridges at KPHL were flat with no dimension. The sports area buildings (football, baseball and hockey) also flat and no dimension. My community folder were empty. So after downloading and reinstalling from Xbox game pass I had the same results. I am now in the process of installing again. The Premium Deluxe 40th Anniversary Edition which I had before all these problems. Hence the title. Thanks to all who reply Bill Mccracken

    Now that //42's Flow Essentials includes a landing FPM widget, I'm confronted with my landing FPM values and I feel triggered. My question to you all is what is considered a good landing value with the B737 or A320? I've Googled this and found some conflicting numbers. My thought is that anything below 300 is pretty good and a good compromise between floating beyond a 'legal' touch down and pranging it on. What say you?

    Hi, my last session ended normally, but today I ran into problems. First, MSFS crashed while half way through loading the initial screen. When I tried again, I got the Blue Screen Of Death, telling me that "something went wrong": After restart, MSFS wants to re-install itself, all 130GB of it! My Steam installation is in D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator but for MSFS installatin path I chose D:\FS2020 - all stuff is in there, the Community and Official folders among other stuff. But now MSFS wants to install "packages" in C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages Is this correct or should I change it to…

    I am a bit disappointed that the B737 didn't come with some comprehensive documentation. I note Fenix is delivering a 1000 page Aircraft Operations Manual. The raft of B737 videos showing you tubers flicking switches (some are probably ex P3D and very familiar with the plane) is not doing it for me even though some of those guys are real drivers. For example despite following the MSFS checklists I keep getting a master caution AIR CON light. Clearly something I haven't configured correctly but I am unable to understand the details of this particular system to fault find it. I actually have Loadmaster hours on the B727 so I am familiar with the packs on that aircraft and…
