Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. Cessna 310R The plane will not keep my settings in the tablet when I reload and it never starts cold and dark. Even if I shut down the plane. Ron

I gotta say, I never had any issues with the 738 ever since it was released. Tonight on final to FSDT’s KIAH AT ABOUT 2,000ft I lost control of the entire cockpit, literally everything stopped working, either using the Honeycomb Bravo or trying to click things on the screen. The only thing that worked was the axis on the Alpha and throttle on the bravo, landed but I couldn’t do anything beyond that. Hopefully it was a one off, I’ll keep monitoring. Is anyone seeing any weirdness post SU13?

Flying the DC-3 with the latest Duckworth mod as of 10/4. I am flying the retro panel with the Bendix King auto pilot. Everything works fine except for the NAV mode. I dial in a VOR frequency on the Nav radio and the needle on the panel points to it so I know it is working. I turn on the auto pilot and select NAV but that feature does not work, Heading mode works, but not NAV. It reads ROLL in the auto pilot panel. I fly other planes with the same auto pilot and the NAV mode works in them. It is just the DC-3. Anyone having the same problem? Anyone have a fix for this? Thanks

https://fselite.net/content/inibuildsa320neoannouncement/ This is interesting. It will be separate from the standard A320, because changing it would break too many things like landing challenges. Obviously, the biggest beneficiaries are the Xbox crowd, who don't have a decent A320 at al. I do wish it was the A321neo, since there are more of these in the US than the A320neos. Aamir on the Fenix discord had some interesting thoughts on this. He mentioned that the price point this airplane will be at -- assuming it's paid, which I think is logical -- is going to be tough to compete against. Sure, people like us on the forum, and folks that care about re…

First off, Thank You to all the devs for your tireless work and efforts. It is my hope in the future when you release your labor of love, that you can be met with kudos, instead of the seemingly standard of picking fly poo out of the pepper. Or the ever present "I wish" statements. I couldn't possibly do what you folks do. I've tried, many times...nope not happening. The work you put out is extraordinary at times. Getting to my friendly request. Could we move away from the "Go Pro" look of the props please. Nicholas from BlackSquare has nailed it on the TBM 850 for realism. Very seldom in flight will you see the blade blur, it's pretty much always …

With better voices and smoother animations this could be really fantastic. A lot of simmers absolutely hate the copilot model in the flight deck, but I for one welcome Otto to the flight deck. Keeping an eye on this one!

Hi, I recently bought the Thrustmaster tca quadrant and so far it works really smooth. Only one problem. Since I started using the quadrant at random times, the flaps and spoilers go to full without me doing anything. Also when that happens, the plane instantly goes to a really low speed like 118 kts. It happens with every plane and I have no idea what triggers it or how to fix it. Any idea what I can do? PS: I only have the throttle and the sidestick, I don’t have the flaps and spoilers add-on.

I've seen this used recently on a stream and was wondering if there was a practical advantage to using it with your flights? Is it really just helpful for streamers? There seem to be a couple or three programs like this floating about and they always seemed redundant to me..

I'm almost certainly doing something dumb, but . . . Haven't been using the sim for a while, and never was big on actual piloting, but been getting things going again (and finding lots of good things since the latest update - feels like the visuals are improved generally) and it seems like most of the smaller aircraft I've been trying, anything with a glass display of any kind (Garmin etc) and the display is so dim as to be unreadable. Don't remember this as an issue in the past. Like I say, I'm not actually too bothered about the finer points of flying, I'm a ctrl-e sort of guy, but I do at least like to be able to see what's going on. Can't see any obvious MSF…

Please! Thank You! I have vented, I am fine.👍 Don't have enough brownie points to post on flightsimulator site. Just didn't want this to get lost in the crowd. Back to your regularly scheduled picking fly poo out of pepper threads for new releases.😱🤪 Best, David

With the CJ4 using the Working Title Mod, the Ground speed and True air speed are shown at the bottom of the co-pilots MFD. The font is quite small, so not easy to read, so wondering if it's possible to move them to the pilot side PFD? I've seen videos with the speeds displayed there, but don't think they were using the working title mod. Thanks Eugene

Freeware gorgeousness ! https://flightsim.to/file/55777/hawker-hunter-twin-seaters Some might disagree, but I personally think the twin-tub is even more beautiful than the single seater. Just had a quick flight, and it's definitely up to Dave's customary high standard.

Is there a good reference on how to use the VNAV feature in the TDS GT 750? I have tried a couple of scenarios but I am obviously doing something wrong. Looked in the GTN manual but cannot find anything.

Hello folks, The last months I was experiencing CTD's a lot of times most of them after a while in the flight. DDU installed every driver possible no fix.... But then I installed the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and now no CTD at all anymore. Just reporting so maybe it can help somebody else, nothing so annoying then a CTD midflight! (maybe also crying children while on final at Vatsim, so you have to disconnect)

Wondering if anyone else has seen this. I tried to make a flight today out of KJAX in the Longitude, but the parking brake was was stuck on and I couldn't get it to disconnect. I exited back to the map screen, and thought I'd try again, but I forgot to select a departure point and so I was waiting at the end of the runway instead. On another note, am I the only one who has trouble with the pages on Avsim? Every once in a while it bounces me out of the box where I'm trying to type. It seems to be the page refreshing to load new ads that does it.

Hey all! I just can't seem to get rid of my stutters...When using the Fenix A320, I get stutters no matter the frames. If I lock at 30, it's not smooth. If I uncap and get close to 45-50fps, it's not smooth. Settings are medium to high so not sure what else I can do. Specs are in my signature. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!

OCTOBER 5TH, 2023 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE Posted by: Microsoft Flight Simulator Team This week’s Screenshot Challenge winner is Twitter/X user BasedRaccoon! If you’re interested in participating in our weekly Screenshot Challenges, check out the details in the Community section below! Last week on September 28th, we released Sim Update 13. Following this release, an unexpected issue occurred. This issue prevented many players from downloading/installing content and affected both in-game updates and Marketplace content installations. After internal analysis, we determined an issue with the update service was introduced sometime after the release of Ai…

https://www.simflight.com/2023/10/06/south-oak-co-real-effects-b747-8i-msfs/ Looks pretty cool if you fly this bird. I know //42 is also creating a package like this for other aircrafts.

In a YT video about MSFS the guy said he decompressed memory as a stutter fix for Flight Simulator. This video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJhvczVXNHQ --------- And here's the video he linked to how to quickly decompress and then compress computer memory (using a command prompt via powershell): Hard for me to test because I don't have stutters in MSFS right now.

I've seen mention of this on the Steam forums, but hoping someone has a resolution. I recently set up a Logitech XBOX compatible controller to controller to control my Drone camera. That's it's only function, all other bindings have been removed. While the aircraft is parked, no engines running while in Drone mode at some points I get a "Stall.. Stall.." warning. If I ignore it, eventually it crashes me into the ground. Somewhat new MSFS, but I assume that the Drone camera is independent. Is this a known bug and if not any suggestions on what steps I can take to resolve it? Thanks Ernie

Hi everyone Is there a website or app where I can get real-time gate information at airports? Reason being is I often fly a flight virtually in real time to its schedule but it would be good to know which gate it is departing from. Ive tried airport websites with little success Thanks Matt
