    I started MSFS and it did an update of like 22G. I made sure it was pointing to my actual install location which it was. I finally load in and all of my camera, graphics, keyboard bindings etc are complete gone. I've disabled all of my addons (addonlinker), signed in and out of xbox, restarted my PC etc and nothing is working. Any ideas on how I should proceed? Regards

    OK, I've been around for quite a while, so I feel a little embarrassed at having to ask this ... I've kinda let it go over the years and not bothered so much with it, but now I take my simming in the 738 more seriously, I think it's about time I got to the biottom of things. For the life of me I can never get the times in the real world (GMT) to match the time in the FMC of the PMDG 738. So effectively what I do, is match the time in the real world (GMT) to the time in the sim, but even if I set it UTC it never matches what is displayed in the FMC, even after setting the chronometer/clock on the MIP. I did read that there is a bug that creates this anomoly, but not sure. …

    On some high alt airliner flights I sometimes like to see how the places I fly above looks from ground level. Long story short, is there an option to get the camera to ground level just below the aircraft location at a press of a button ? and to be static and not follow the aircraft while going at 500kt 🙂

    I have tried setting up several MSFS IFR Low Altitude flights with ILS approaches into the destination runway, in 3 different aircraft that used to fly ILS approaches without issues, but I have had no success. In one case the flight plan had a "T" junction, & in the other 2, the STARS path was not logical. I did get 1 runway where an aircraft followed an ILS approach but coming through at 2,700", then 1,800', in neither case would it hook on to the descent path although GS was showing on the PFD. Anyone else having flight plan ILS approach set up issues? T45

    Quick check of the area shows the scenery to be very well done and performance seems to be pretty good. Excellent rendition. One miss so far is that the ERGLs are missing. Developers seem to have a really hard time with these for some reason. They seem to have the in-pavement ones in. Link to PACSIM: http://www.islandsim.com/index.html If any devs see this, here's the chart where you can find them most of the time. It's the low vis taxi chart.

  12. Hello everyone, First of all sorry if this isn't the correct place to post this, I'm new to this forum. Recently I upgraded my PC with a 7800X3D chip, based off benchmarks and information I had read which said this CPU was the best one currently available for MSFS. After making a fresh Windows 11 install, I downloaded MSFS but was very surprised and disappointed by the performance I'm getting. https://youtu.be/DB4WNQJ77f0?t=40 https://streamable.com/8mlum9 Same situation and same settings, the user in the YT video has around 70 FPS with constant smoothness, and I'm getting around 60 FPS with really noticeable stutters (with frame generation…

    Restart MSFS if you don't see it in the MSFS marketplace (I'm reading people in the beta aren't seeing the ATR available in their marketplace). Also, LondonController is streaming the ATR now on his Twitch stream.

    Since the AAU update, I've been flying the 787 on single sector long haul flights. Today, I did a European return EGLL-LGSR-EGLL Arriving at LSGR, the airport was full of aircraft and even during the return LSGR-EGLL flight, the skies were full of aircraft. But, on landing at EGLL, not a single aircraft at the airport. No static or taxiing...nothing! What's going on?
