  2. Hey, there everyone, (warning! loong winded post, with bad grammar...) I have not really posted so much in the past, but I have Really enjoyed reading this site! Ever since the Magnificent; Looking Glass - Flight Unlimited 3 and it's Beechjet 400A sim done by Peter James (The program manager), I have had a passion for this cool and humble GA aircraft/ Business jet... It had it all Cool Glass-cockpit and Kingair style engine stack and Thrust reverser buckets. My first encounter with this aircraft "outside" of FU3, was with Abacus Corporate Pilot boxed edition with a cool manual, and then I just lusted for a even more advanced Corporate aircraft version! Then OUT O…

    After the last update I have a white dot in the center of the image in the cockpit and I do not know how to get rid of it. The camera also moves all the time. I use the X-box controller to control the camera. Someone who has any tips. I'm starting to get more and more convinced that MSFS is a game and a toy!

  6. Guys. My desktop is i7-9700k + Noctua D15 cooler + 32GB Ram + SSD M2 Samsung 980 Pro + 700w EVGA Bronze PSU + MSI 1060 3GB. I want to upgrade my 1060 🙂 I have two options for the SAME amount of money: 1. Buy a used package of 3080ti + EVGA G3 1000W. 2. Buy a new 4070, thinking that I could keep my 700 PSU. Could you please advise which way should I go? I am conserning about DLSS 3 support in 4070 and missing in 3080ti. Thank you. P.S.: Not willing to upgrade CPU now. I overclocked it to 4.9GHz with no issues.

I want to do something simple, i want to put the PFD and ND in a tablet or external monitor like in the pic below, but unfortunately popping up the panels gives me a massive FPS drop in the FBW for example. How can i achieve this? Air Manager for example is able to do this out off the box? Thank you

  11. Some months are slow for MSFS. But in the last month, MSFS became that much better. First it started a month ago with the AAU2 release. Suddenly, MSFS got two decent long hauler airlines with the Working Title 747 and 787. The Working Title 787 in particular, is getting more and more popular, with many people even flying the Kuro, which is based off the Working TItle 787. Then the Just Flight F28 Fokker is released, and this is definitely a high fidelity aircraft that is already enjoyed by many. And finally, almost one month after AAU2, we get the A2A Comanche release. So far, the reviews and feedback on the Comanche have been stellar, with many calling it the best GA …

    Is anyone else finding that anything that requires a server connection tonight either isn't working or is incredibly slow? Right from the start, the checking for updates page sits there for quite a while, usually that's near instantaneous. Then once in the sim I keep getting disconnected from online/bing mode, when I try to reconnect it takes like 10 minutes, failing part way through (the annoyingly making me continue to wait). ATC comms were very delayed which I've never seen before, ie a long gap between transmissions before the audio finally just stopped working. Then I tried to download the update for the Honda Jet and the download speed was glacially slow to…

  14. Hello, I’ve been having an issue while flying the F28 where I’ll regularly hear a sound in the background that is very close to the sound that happens when you exit out of the pause menu to go back into the sim or when you select a menu option. I’m calling it a chime for lack of a better term but it’s definitely close to the very short sound the sim makes with menu selections or maybe when you complete challenges etc? I recall having this issue early in the sim but never knew why and haven’t experienced in a while, now it’s happening every flight in the F28. Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it? Thanks

  15. Hi all - I typically buy offline (old habits) but if it's a cheap and quick scenery or something I'm happy to just buy in the marketplace. I don't really pay attention to what account I'm logged into (just some random 'player' username) although all the charges go through steam (which I know my log-in of course since I bought via MSFS 2020 via steam). Do I need to think about what my log-in/username for the marketplace is or will it just continue to link bank to my steam account in future so I don't need to worry?

  19. Started by BWBriscoe,

    I'm well used to setting up Boeing aircraft for flights (PMDG 737 / 777 in P3D and the 737 in MSFS). This includes trim settings for TO etc. Usually when I take off in the Asobo 787, I hand fly to around 6000 ft. But it needs a significant amount of nose down pressure on the yoke, otherwise the nose goes to the sky. This also means that when I engage the AP, the nose bounces around quite a bit as I release pressure on the yoke. Any ideas? Thanks.

  20. So at Flightsim Expo 2023, Jorg and Seb finally went over the new changes for MSFS 2024, that weren't really explained in the original announcement video. I think this information is much more relevant to Avsim, as many of us are interested in how MSFS 2024 makes flight simulation more realistic for us, especially with respect to physics, flight systems & avionics, etc. Well, they answered just that today. With respect to the change to aerodynamics and physics: With respect to systems and avionics: You can watch the replay here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1854043895?t=00h10m49s In addition, with respect to scenery, they are al…

(The default MSFS gliders have great models, but the variometers don't function correctly and the glide ratios are incorrect among other issues)
