  1. I was hoping I could get some help from you all. I asked copilot but that didn't help. I've recently been popping out panels and putting them on other displays for my home/desktop cockpit. I was doing it without any help from pop out manager until I ran into an issue. I somehow "lost" my Fenix ND on the captain side. When I do alt - right click nothing happens and it disappears. I did some reading and it seems that it is because it is going to an old location that isn't there anymore. My short fix is that I drag the ND from the first officer over to my side. The issue is, I have to use the FO FCU buttons. I tried using Pop Up Manager and thought that would be a f…

  2. '@everyone Well, the sad news we feared all along is now here. FlightRadar24 has notified us that the unpaid API the FSLTL injector uses will be shut down on **April 30, 2026**. __**Why?**__ In our discussions with FR24, we had hoped a low-cost option/plan for their current for-cost API might be made available for users to purchase directly from FR24 that could then be used in the FSLTL injector. Unfortunately, that option never came to be, and the normal pricing for the FR24 API is very cost prohibitive. Some of our estimates were in the range of over $20 for a single 3 hour sim flight with 20 AI aircraft in range. That just isn't going to work. Ther…

    Hello, I'm getting ready to migrate to MS2024 from 2020 and had read something in the past about msfs2024 recommending 64gb. That was before all the sim updates came along. Is that still the case? Given that memory prices are crazy now, was curious if I really need to upgrade now. My current system is: 13700k 32gb ddr5 rtx 4080 34 ultra wide gsync Thanks Bubba

    Anybody else for example on the pmdg 737 when I go and add fuel automatically from the simbrief profile on the FMC I get the red screens with a WASM crash this morning.

    My local provider announced recently that due to replacement of equipment, short outages are possible for a month during evening times (Duhhh!!!!). Yesterday, I encountered of these outages. Though it lasted 10 minutes, my entire flight was ruined during the approach. I tried to switch quickly to my phone internet, but then the sim hangs. Is there any way to protect from these type of "outages"?

  8. Hi, I would like to begin to practice airliner flight and I need to purchased 2 airports cat 3 or 4 to practice IFR, etc... I have Fenix A320 and PMDG 737-600 associated to MSFS 2024. I have a lot of freeware, but would like more complete scenery that have NO bugs for IFR. Esthetic is not so important, but technic parameters for radio and navigation yes. Do you have 2 airports to suggest for short fl;ight (1 hr or 2 max) ? Thanks you for your contribution. Michel, Canada

  9. Any news or updates regarding this? I miss this add-on so much since the FSX and P3D days. The coastal regions and oceans need more life to them.

  10. Tried to finnd additional products by the dev but couldn't- Looks simple Greatzzzzzz !!!!

  12. If you don't have the Black Square Bonanza this new free mod from Arantis Simulations seems to be much better than the default G36 Bonanza. https://arantissim.com/product/msfs2024-beechcraft-bonanza-g36-mod/

    Hello, since last night unable to start MSFS 2024 Loading the simulator stacks on 0% Waiting for Authentication, after a while get an Error Server issue detected, attempting to connect to the servers….. Error code : 002-902 Anyone for advise please? thank you in advance

  14. I have recently done a full install of Win11 and also MSFS2024. I must have been mad! Anyway, I'm now in the long, arduous process of reinstalling all my apps and addons. I have just installed Simbrief and Simbrief downloader. I install from the Simbrief downloader directly into the FMC, as I don't use the PMDG EFB in the cockpit. I have done this flawlessly for years now and it has always worked like a charm. However, I don't know whether it's finger trouble at my end, or the fact that 24 has different protocols with the PMDG 738, but for some reason, when I go to install a flightplan automatically into the FMC when in the route page, nothing shows up. Normally, I'd put …

  16. Just a heads-up, if anyone missed it. FSHud_Admin — 3/27/2026 9:30 AMFriday, March 27, 2026 9:30 AM Important compatibility notice regarding FSLTL Traffic Injector 1.8.3 FSHud - Air Traffic Control has identified a compatibility issue when used together with FSLTL Traffic Injector 1.8.3. When both products are active in the same simulator environment, traffic-related issues may occur, including reduced, inconsistent, or paused traffic behavior. This should not be treated as a standalone malfunction of FSHud - Air Traffic Control, but as a compatibility issue affecting this specific product combination. Until further notice, users who want…

    Hello, So on the PMDG738, I am having a dickens of a time to get the flaps to work correctly with my Bravo TQ. I have set the axis and made sure there were no conflicts but, I cannot get it to register the first or second detent. It registers all the detents if I check mark inverted but not in normal. Has anyone else ran into this problem and solved it?

  18. I just did at Inibuilds LAX and it is.... BROKEN for sure. WAYYYYYY too fast to start the tow, and the tug towed the aircraft through everything. Didn't even follow any taxiways until just before the area that the gate is in. How had this feature worked for anyone else?

  19. Since recently I have almost constant Simbrief uplink errors using the Simbrief upload feature in the Fenix series via *Init in the MCDU. Anybody else? Wonder whether this comes from the recent Fenix update, updating AIRAC? Wouldn‘t know what else changed. I always use the Simbrief plugin to create a FP within the MSFS EFB/flight planer. Usually works like a charme. Upload into Fenix EFB still works, just not via MCDU. Did also cycle some preferred routes in Simbrief and in 1 of 10 cases I „hit“ one which can be imported. But this tedious and trial and error. FWIW I do not have a Navigraph subscription, never had and never will. Yet it worked before. A…

    I am a satisfied user of BATC. The only thing I am having trouble with is assigning a callsign in Simbrief that is used by BATC AI to call me. Example: I want to fly as Ryanair 123 (RYR123). what do I do in Simbrief? I fill the fields: Airline: RYR FLight Number: 123 ATC Callsign: RYR123 After starting BATC I expect to be called Ryanair123 (RYR123). BATC however calls me RYR123 123 „Ryanair one three nine one three nine“. I tried several combination to convince the AI to call me RYR139 but it did not work. What am I doing wrong?

    'Version 3.9.3 April 18th, 2026 - GSX Pro NEW: Automatic hotfix updates. Between full releases, fixes can now be delivered in the background: the auto-restarter downloads them as they become available, the MSFS toolbar panel shows a banner when one is ready, and a new menu entry applies the hotfix and restarts the GSX engine. Users can also decline and keep running the previous version until the next full release. - GSX (all versions) NEW: Towing can now be re-planned from the pause menu. While towing is paused you can choose "Customize route on Map" to open the airport map with a fresh route recomputed from the tug's current position, then edit it as usual (p…

  22. It feels 2x bigger than when I'm in the PMDG 777 cockpit. I've never been in an A350 cockpit so I wouldn't know for sure. But how do the cockpits of the 777 and A350 truly compare.

  23. Logged in to my Just Flight account without a problem this morning. I'm trying to download my Caravan cargo/amphib installer and it keeps failing after a few seconds. Anyone else having that problem? I'm on VPN but seriously doubt that's an issue - it's worked 100% of the time for that site in the past.

    Hello, I have recently switched to MSFS from XP 11 where I subscribed to Navigraph data approximately every 6 months. I am considering doing the same with MSFS. Before re-subscribing, I would appreciate any comments / feedback regarding the following: 1) Is native MSFS 2024 Nav data inferior to Navigraph's data? My understanding is that MSFS 2024 Nav data is updated fairly regularly. 2) Can MSFS 2024 Nav data be re-selected after utilizing a purchased Navigraph AIRAC cycle? Additionally, assuming that Navigraph data will overwrite the native MSFS nav data, will the LIDO & FAA charts still be available to view in the MSFS 2024 EFB after the Navi…
