Based on feedback from testers so far, we have noticed positive improvements in this build to the long loading time issue which we discussed in la…

Hi folks, I just bought and installed the NZA NZMF package. I'm having a few oddities show up, less to do with the new NZMF I suspect and more to do with MSFS, but I've posted some shots in the screenshots forum - and I'd be interested in peoples suggestions. I'm running with Orbx's NZ Mesh, I have tried NZA's suggestions about turning PG off/on and I don't use any kind of caching in the sim. I've also uninstalled the appropriate airports within the MSFS NZ world update package as per the NZA instructions. Sim restarted, PC reboorted, all that malarkey, and I still get what I see in the pix I posted. Maybe I should just stay in Kansas. Nice and flat t…

So, here we have a toggle switch that stays put, not spring loaded, up (ON) or down (OFF). 1) If we assign TOGGLE PARKING BRAKES to it, then it will cycle between brakes on and brakes off as long as the toggle is up. Therefore if the switch is up, then you don't know if your parking brakes are on or off as you land your plane by looking at that toggle. Same thing if the switch is down, you don't know by looking at the toggle. 2) But if we assign SET PARKING BRAKE to it, then when the toggle is up, the parking brake is on. When the toggle is down, the parking brake is off. Now you know by just looking at it. That's the difference between TOGGLE and SET for a…

Hi guys, The last days i did 2 flights with the PMDG 737-900 using a example like this: Staring with 158000lbs TOW took me with AP on and LNAV/VNAV about 190nm to my set altitude of 33,000 feet. This 33000feet was proposed by the FMC. Is this near real life, I thought it should be quicker what are your experiences ? cheers 😉

Compared to an enthusiast sim user install of FSX (with addons), is there a list of what FS2020 still lacks or is addon unavailable? From searching I can gather a few things: seasons, multiple window viewports and replay. Just comprehensively trying to figure out, with 3 years of maturity, what's FS2020's status vs the old standbys (FSX/P3D). Thanks.

Thinking of getting the HF8 haptic seat, Which are the best aircraft in MSFS to get the best haptic feedback experience?, It seems the Comanche does not work well with the HF8 because of its external engine software… Does this also affect the Fenix 320? & it sounds like the HFS bundled software is somewhat problematic, does Simshaker for Aviators do a better job now? any advice from HF8 users would be greatly appreciated…

So after working shifts for the past few days this has been my first chance to download the new UK Update. Whilst I was on, I have also updated the latest FBW custom update for the A320 with the all new cockpit textures and more nice little features including a Costa Coffee cup😎 So I decide to spawn in on Runway 23R at Manchester Airport in the UK. I have the payware addon from Macco Simulations which is now updated to Version 1 , a fantastic scenery to begin with. Fingers crossed for no issues, it all loads in and I have just taken off on a little test flight. Well what can I say. my jaw has dropped once again. This sim has just gone up another le…

Flying some ILS last night using the FSI panel. There were some good storms out there. Went to KDEN, KPHL, KLGA, etc. All the weather stations were reporting CB and rain clouds etc. There was none in MSFS. So I loaded REX weather and it was just perfect. Can someone verify there is weather or not in the beta. Just curious. I know there are still drops in FPS with REX engine that continue to happen but dang the weather is so good and realistic. Is there a trick to get weather using the default engine? Oh and lighting is every approach last night with REX. Have not seen that is a while.

Just received this update, is this SU13? I'm also not in the beta program, so not sure what this is.

Since the program first came out, there have been a ton of changes to the aircraft, to the point where I can no longer figure out how to do everything in (for example) some of the jets and so I am stuck flying VFR in the little guys. I'm trying to learn to use the various planes but it isn't easy. Tutorials, such as on YouTube, are created for different versions and are seldom for the most recent ones. I myself created a tutorial for using the Longitude as it first came with the program but by now it's obsolete. I guess what I'm getting at is: is there a way I can find this information? I can try asking here where people are knowledgeable but I don't want…

Anyone else experiencing this? Every other plane except some of the taildraggers is pretty straightforward with low-speed ground handling. Rudder left, it turns left. Rudder centered, it goes straight. The 146 gets stuck. If I turn left, then center the pedals, it keeps going left. I have to briefly kick right pedal to stop the left turn, at which point it then enters a steady right turn after the pedals are centered again. There's no way to just get the nose wheel to point straight. That's irritating as I wiggle down the taxiway, but especially annoying in the first part of the takeoff roll. Am I missing a setting or something? The manual doesn't say anything a…

I am not sure. But it appears to me, after installing freeware Jpl wbsim Cessna 152, latest version (from Discord), ATC comm audio not available. Only ATC window shows and again that greys out sometimes. Please help. Regards, Haseen Ahmad.

I'm wondering how many people here experience runway lights that float oven the ground at certain airports in certain condition(and especially at night.) A quick Google search showed I'm not the only one experiencing this issue, and I hope it is fixed for the next version.

Hi guys, i recently downloaded the kuro verison 2.1.1 , when i spawn with the aircraft on the ground and in the air the yoke is moving and i can´t roll to the life side , i think is something with the sensibility i have the TCA of Thrustmaster, here is a little video of the issue and my sensibility settings: https://ibb.co/56HQ9nv

Was hoping someone could help me out. I've put in ticket to Fenix 2 days ago but havent heard anything yet. Also posted at Navigraph. I updated my Navigraph through the Hub as always for Airac 2309. This time my Fenix MCDU shows the new Airac, but when I go into my EFB it still shows Airac 2308. I'm stumped. Been Simmimg since 1989 so old guy brain fart may be at work. Cheers

I think the last time we had one (really live) was 2-3 months ago. Before FSExpo. Also I think Jörg said we would have another session “next month” on that recorded stream they hosted after FSExpo. Do you think they’re just waiting to have more to share about 2024 before hosting another session?

Hello! Does anyone know where or if I can get the GSX profile that was available on Flightsim for KATL (world update II USA) by Asobo MSFS. Thank´s in advance

After suffering from the dreaded random uninstall and getting the courage to reinstall. I can't even do that. The installer randomly gets locked up on the uncompressing stage. Numerous times I check up on it and see it's stuck uncompressing. How does something so great on one end, suck so bad on the other. This is exhausting. Why do all flight sims have to be a full time job?

So what's the story with not being able to depart a 4000' runway. Takeoff roll is too long and ends up crashing into the trees at the end. I've searched the forum, both your and msfs's and I dont see anything about what's the cause and what's the fix. The only things I've seen in the forums concerning this says to cyle the power mgmt knob from TO to MCT and back before takeof and insure idle gate is pushed in. Neither of this worked for me. And yes, I make sure it is properly in NOTCH. I'm running the latest version also. I'm stumped.

Hi, Guys & Gals 😃 FYI , For those of you who run The MSFS2020 sim with Bing-satelite imagery and the online features BUT running it *without* the Photogrametry(ie, bad performance/ dark gray apocalypse look, or simply not avaliable in country/region)?? IF you would like to see some improvement happening with BlackShark AI-Tech? I have created a wishlist-VOTE over on the official forum! I Appreciate if you could please take a look? or cast your VOTE for it? Thanks 😃 https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/improvments-to-black-shark-ai/608631/1

If we take away the Bing map and PhotoReal scenery from MSFS and have the scenery used in either P3D or XPLANE12, which simulator platform is the best? My list would be: 1. XPLANE12 2. P3D 3. MSFS I wonder if anyone would list MSFS as #1?

Just wondering what exactly is happening here ? I was tempted a few years back, but never bothered. But just visited the site, clicked on "Membership" and was told that membership will be available soon. However, when I chose an airport, clicked on "Pay for membership 32e", I was presented with an application page to join ? So not totally sure what's going on ?
