How do you delete a profile you created in controls? Just delete everything out of it?

I'm using some third party liveries for the Citation Longitude, and wondering if it's possible to make my tail number show up on the exterior? I tried editing the cfg file, but it didn't seem to change it.

Hi I am hoping that someone can answer the following question. I have been trying to capture customised instrument views but had no joy. I think I am using the right combination of ctrl-alt+keyboard number. Tried this on a couple of aircraft although my preferred choice is the Cessna CJ4. I have also looked at my keyboard profile but none of the options shown there work either including ctrl-function key options. one final question, is it possible to save the Pilot/Instrument smart views to a key rather than having to select them from (I have the Turtle Beach Velocity One)

Got Friends have just announced they will be releasing a pack of their classic aircraft/mods onto the Marketplace for XBox users (and also PC users who prefer to download through the Marketplace). The pack will contain Savage Grravel Savage Carbon Monster NXCub Vertigo MXA Lake Skipper and cost the minimum they are allowed to charge $4.99.

An interesting and detailed read over on FSNews about how MSFS helped the author pass his PPL checkride: https://fsnews.eu/using-msfs-for-flight-training-helped-pass-private-pilot/ Some quotes I found noteable (he was using the various Cessnas in MSFS and other sims): "But even with its imperfections, using MSFS for flight training played a crucial role in this monumental achievement.' 'When I first tried the X-Plane 12 Skyhawk XP, I was actually struck by how familiar it felt, and how similar to the MSFS 172 G1000 it was. Both aircraft exhibited the same stall/spin behavior that did not exactly match the actual aircraft: aggressively dropping a wing (tende…

Trim wheel calibration in MSFS can be a pain. This video is mainly about the Spitfire but the solution works for all MSFS aircraft with small tweaks.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but when I import a Simbrief flight plan into the FBW tablet, I can't get it to show up in the MCDU. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I don't have this issue with the Fenix A320. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Hi all Took off from Bilbao to Copenhagen and had traffic in FSLTL as usual on the ground at Bilbao, but absolutely nothing moving. As my flight moves through France there is no traffic at all. Is anyone else experiencing this? After restarting FSLTL nothing appears. 20:31:53 **** Current settings **** 20:31:53 20:31:53 Max Active IFR Aircraft (0=disabled): 15 20:31:53 Max Active VFR Aircraft (0=disabled): 15 20:31:53 Additional Airline Parked Aircraft (0=disabled / 10=max): 10 (max of 15 aircraft per airport) 20:31:53 Additional GA Parked Aircraft (0=disabled / 10=max): 10 (max of 15 aircraft per airport) 20:31:53 Max Radius to Inject A…

I'm not an experts in WX radar. But for purpose of simulation and to some degree of fidelity in my opinion it actually does what is suppose to. Some airplanes like Leonardo MD80, FSS ERJ do implemented them without fuss. And in my understanding WX radar are useful to avoid big bad cells (if simmer wants of course 🙂 ) Here is an example of me flying thorough the opening

Render scaling higher than 100% is a way of making the sim use a form of SSAA, or super sampling anti aliasing. So, I tried 105 (I run 4K) and the image quality is way better. And because I use FG, no hit to FPS.

I hope this is of some help to someone...

Anyone else looking forward to this release coming from Parallel 42? Admittedly, it does look like a lot of fun and something different to do in sim. https://parallel42.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyVchYytviM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5UDei8tQoM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l36QEvL3xgk

Just made it now and thought some of you might want to try this flight in an area we rarely visit or speak about. Download the following two sceneries on Flightsim.to: Tromso ENTC Honningsvag ENHV Then make a (daylight) flight from Tromso to Honningsvag with your favorite piston or turbine aircraft, and shoot a challenging visual approach on RWY 08 (very often you will be greeted with a generous crosswind), downwind leg will be over the sea after reporting abeam the airport at 2000 feet. Take a good look at the airport map and its environment first (SkyVector) as you might struggle to make it on your first attempt. The approach on RWY 26 is a bit easi…

I bought MK's PHL based on FS Elite's review and the fact that it's on sale. However, I noticed this shadow artifact under the E gates concourse. Has anyone else seen this or know a solution? Video: https://streamable.com/bwtsof I put in a ticket a few days ago but MK has not responded.

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I'm inbound to Dublin EIDW. The wind is from 130deg. The Live ATC chatter is saying landings on 10L.... MSFS ATC (when I get in range) clears me for 10L. I'm like great everything's agreeing here! Then on short final I get a plane taking off straight at me....

Do you have some problems with the weather today? No wind and qnh is différent between metar and game.

Recently, MSFS decided to start up and force me to redo all of my settings and date I want to use, it reverts back to the current time and date when I finish a flight and start a new one. Previously, once I had set the time and date for 1st June at noon, for example, when I ended the flight and started the new one, the time and date would stick from the previous flight. I've been through all of the settings half a dozen times and cannot seem to figure out what is causing this change in behaviour which is quite irritating knowing that it didn't do this before. Can anyone point me towards what I might be missing? Thanks.

..this happened to me a few weeks back, and I thought that I would have to recreate them to get all my favorite settings back. Only now, do I realize that each control profile has saved profiles associated with them, so that the Default profile can be replaced with the previously active profile, by selecting the little arrows on the profile title. So, it turns out that my settings had not been lost, but were easily retrievable.. 🙂 Lesson learned!

Here is Blois airport created by Yves P. The Blois - Le Breuil aerodrome is an aerodrome open to public air traffic. With a surface area of 224 ha, the Breuil aerodrome is located in 3 municipalities: La Chapelle-Vendômoise, Villefrancœur and Landes-le-Gaulois, 18 km northwest of Blois and less than 18 km south-east of Vendôme in the Loir-et-Cher department. It is mainly used for leisure and tourism activities (light aviation and aeromodelling). https://www.simvol.org/en/downloads/airports/blois

I recently bought the Cri Cri for MSFS from AT Simulations but after having made my PayPal payment, I've not received any download link, nor product key. The website stated that I'd be sent these within minutes of purchasing. They have no customer portal on their website, and use a cart website called "2checkout" - I managed to trace my order through that site (shown as "paid") but there is no download link included and no product key. Anyone had any recent dealings with this company?

Did this come out today? I know there were licensing issues. I hope this one doesn't get abandoned.

Hi, I really want to fly the 787 in msfs and the airports and other planes in premium deluxe are cool too. So to end this debate, is the premium deluxe worth it? ps: I already have the standard so I would be upgrading

I recently came across a FS2020 user who discussed this feature and uploaded a video displaying 4 minutes leading up to and including landing and taxiing. The user didn't detail how they did it - ergo, I had to conduct some research and discovered the methodology. I finally tried this feature out on the A320 Neo - and I must say, it worked pretty darn well overall. The only issue the co-pilot was causing, was a constant over-speed warning throughout the flight until setting up for landing. This overspeed was causing the aircraft to overshoot some waypoints on the flight plan. In this instance, 2 wp's were overshot and the co-pilot had to maneuvre/circle ba…

Anyone else seeing left side (airspeed) cut off? Almost like the HUD data is formatted for a square screen, when the HUD has rounded sides? Seems like big performance hit as well?
