  1. Hi Crew Wondering if someone could advise. Setting up some custom camera views in the Asobo A320neo using the numpad. Steps Using arrow keys I move to the selected view point I press CTRL + numpad key to bind the view to that key I press the numpad key and the cam moves to the view. This works fine. I then make a change to the view. Maybe I tilt the camera up a bit more to look at the overhead better etc. Again I press CTRL + numpad key to bind the view to that same key I press the numpad key and the cam moves to the view - and it does not reflect the change. It stays locked on what I first created. Example I ma…

  3. I am really enjoying the Asobo ATR, but one thing that I have having really problems with is trying to keep the aircraft on the runway when there is a crosswind, it does not even have to be a strong crosswind, still a nightmare. It feels like the rudder is not doing anything until I slow below 30kts. It is kind of the same taking off in a crosswind too. I have noticed it has gotten worst since the last ATR update. I have notice watching some streamers they have also had the same struggle. Has anyone found a solution to this problem or is this a general bug with the aircraft?

    Created Flight Plan in Navigraph Charts, departing from KDCA RW 19. Load flight plan into MSFS. Aircraft lined up PARALLEL to RW 19 50-70 feet to the LEFT in the grass. Load flight in MSFS using KDCA RW19 as departure information without loading Navigraph flight plan, aircraft lined up properly on RW 19. Have Drzewiecki KDCA installed in MSFS. Soemthing is wrong with KDCA's starting location for RW 19 within the Navigraph flight plan. So far, KDCA RW 19 is the only problem that I've encountered using the Flight Planning features of Navigraph Charts. Any ideas as to what is wrong? Thanks in advance Jim Driskell

  9. Since MS/ASOBO announced that they are moving (almost) every thing to the cloud and they will continue to update MSFS 2020 as well, does that mean the upcoming MSFS 2024 going to be a subscription model? to me, it feels that it is going that way and I'm fine with it as long as they keep updating/fixing MSFS 2020 from some problems that are bothering some users, I don't have any major problem with it so far.

  12. Hello all, Been quite a while since I have been here looking for help but I do believe I now have a beauty. A few days ago I downloaded and installed an update which worked just fine and I followed it up with a great flight. Today, I started MSFS up and all proceeded normally. I then clicked on the world map to start a flight and instead of the normal aircraft selection, departure etc page, I just got the globe with all my Australian airports listed. There is nothing else except a go back on the bottom and a home page icon up top. As far as I can see there is no way to initiate an aircraft selection or anything else. I cannot imagine this is part of the n…

    Anyone notice a massive frame drop when aircraft load button is selected to load fuel and passengers on the Fenix? I have my frames locked at 30 which the frames can go much higher around 45 went unlocked. It's been sitting idle for quite some time and the minute I hit the load button to load fuel and passengers the frames tanked to around 24. How do you use GSX however I've never seen those before

  15. I'll try and keep this brief! I mainly fly the Fenix A320. I have set up custom views (1-10) using the normal procedure (shift+alt+[number] I may have changed these form the default, I can't remember) I use the F1-10 keys to load each custom view and each one works correctly. However.... Modifying these views using shift+alt+[number] is no longer saving them if I make a change to the view. And, worse still, the custom views I have set up in the Fenix are overriding the custom views in all other aircraft. Even more strangely, if I delete the cameras.cfg from %AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimObjects\Airplanes\FNX320 the custom views I origin…

    I know that possibly Navigraph and or PMDG may be where I need to turn but I'll throw this out there and see if anyone has any ideas. Up until yesterday or so everything always worked fine. Now when I try and enter a new flight plan in the FMC I enter my reference airport and then my originating airport and then my destination. When I hit retrieve flight plan it will lock up everthing. The mouse still moves but nothing can be clicked on and my screen is locked on what I had been looking at. No choice but to ctrl alt del to close it as not even escape button will work. Any thoughts? I have done some reinstall of navigraph and PMDG 737 but no luck. Thanks. Aar…

    I've put in around 800 hours in the FBW but I've been told by several users that the Fenix is the way to go and was wondering why that is? Is there a massive difference in immersion? Better systems/work load? What is it that makes it stand out more than the FBW version? I know the EFB seems to have more functions but is this option really worth dropping 50 bucks for? I'm so grateful to FBW and all they have done with this freeware and I feel some loyalty towards them so if there isn't drastic differences then I wouldn't see the point in the investment.

  20. Amazing addons!!! The speed of which I have bought my recent MSFS addons is crazy. It is a dream in VR (even on my aging system); but these addons are something else. The immersion/realism is off the charts. I always wanted X-Plane SimCoders REP style addons for MSFS, and now we have it. Current packages I have Analog Baron/Bonanza Combo Analog King Air I could spend whole year on these addons itself. @JustFlightScott I am curious did BlackSquare consult with legendary RealAir team @robert young for suggestions on the Turbine Duke that BlackSquare is making. And does anyone if BlackSquare have a discord channel? Enjoy!! …

    Hi everyone, I don't know if this is the right place if it isn't I apologise in advance. That being said, I have a stupid question. I've been away from MSFS 2020 for quite some time taking care of my special needs child and updated MSFS 2020 a few days ago. I got this set of tones when I turn my headlamp on and off. It's quite annoying and I was wondering if there's a way to turn the notification tones off since it kind of buggs the dickens out of me. Any help with this annoyance would be greatly appreciated.

  24. Hi All, I've been working through getting some addons and stuff to make MSFS a little more lively and realistic. One of those being FSLTL which a pretty cool addon. However I seem to be running into a bit of an odd issue with it. At my specific airport (KRNO) the traffic never gets injected at the gates. Instead all the ground traffic is placed in the large cargo ramps at the end of the airport. I was wondering if anyone else has faced issues like this? I tried looking around on Google but couldn't find anyone else with a similar issue. I'm wondering if maybe the way that MSFS configures the gate is messing with where FSLTL wants to inject traffic maybe? I'm n…
