    Sorry if this has been discussed already, but with the search function down I cant check.... I flew into KDFW probably for the first time in awhile and the textures were all blurry and I actually crashed b/c the elevations were off. I tried restarting the sim but same result. I have no KDFW add-ons. Haven't seen this anywhere else. is this a known issue?

    I completed a few of the ATC Senerios last night using the FSIpanel utility. Very impressed with the application. I have been using it to setup apporaches and loved it but the senerios are very good esspecially with the ATC voices and emergencies. Yes they are static but none the less immersive. I wonder if they could use a voice pack to create more instead of having a human record them. I like the human voice but I would think you could use https://speechelo.com/ to create more. Their voices are very good. Just my thoughts... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n7fU8IAzwo

  4. Not sure if it exists, but I have not been able to find any suggestions for this...I have the latest version of the Carenado M20 (Mooney). I really like it, but if I have any light crosswind, I find it very hard to keep on the taxi line. I believe the wind keeps pushing on the tail rudder and pushing the nose. I've searched for tire friction mods, etc. in an effort to add contact points for a community folder which contains flight_model.cfg file. I know one does not exist in the official MSFS folder, so I know I need to create a new one for the community folder. Anyway, I cannot find an existing file (flightsim.to) or suggestions to create one... If an…

But when I start the download the progress bar at the bottom starts across and gets to about 550mg and then drops back to about 90 mb and starts over.

    Wx is showing on the ND in the "updated" B78X. Whut th...?! I was doing a KSFO-KIAD hop. Stepped away from the flight deck for a while to attend to matters pertaining to the house (and to keep in the wife's good graces) and when I got back I was passing north of Denver. To my amazement weather was depicted on the ND in the correct location and was visually confirmed by looking out the window, the drone view and checking real Wx. Have I been doing a Rip Van Winkle all these months??

  8. I stopped flight simming because of lack of historical weather in MSFS. This feature was the one that provided me the most joy previously in P3D with ActiveSky Being able to fly any route at any time, being able to accelerate the simulator and the weather would follow up. Now I'm restricted to fly only with the real time, and without sim acceleration. Otherwise weather won't match time of the day. If I accelerate a long flight I may end up with daytime weather during night and vice versa. Imagine you arrive at a location during the middle of the night with typical summer daytime temperatures such as 90 °F and with lots of wind while it should be calm. It's …

    in 2021 I purchased the Red Wings beta version of their Lockheed Constellation and paid on Simmarket (pre app). Now here we are two years later and Red Wings has had a number of updates since my purchase. I wish to download the latest update, and Simmarket now only accepts orders on their app. I have tried this previously, downloaded the app, followed the instructions, but unable to make it work. Just tried it, and again it does not work. The Constellation is also available on the MSFS market, but their seems no way to indicate that I have already paid for the aircraft. So here I am, have purchased the plane and cannot get the latest update except through MFSF Store, pa…

After disabling hyperthreading, now experiencing maximum temperatures of only up to 81 deg C and system stability. My settings mainly high and locked on 30fps .

    Been noticing this more and more. It looks like the newer tiles are higher res and better colored. In this shot I'm flying near KDLH Duluth MN, USA and as I get lower the newer tiles appear. This is good (sort of) because the old imagery is green and very dated. But bad because it's honestly game breaking imo. Are people still seeing this phenomenon? Is it a DX12 issue only? swappingtiles by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr

  14. 1) Can someone please point me to a manual which covers the latest implementation. 2) I believe that I do not need to install a mod to get the latest version 3) These seems to be a problem with earlier manuals and the latest version. For example: I am trying to get Navigraph Charts linked. Earlier manuals say this: MOD SET This page on the FMS contains a number of user defined settings which will persist after each load (when the SIM is exited correctly through the menus). The MOD SET can be accessed via IDX>NEXT>MOD SET When I try this I get: Data base and Defaults as the only options. Grateful for any answers or suggestions …

  15. Started by sivart2000,

    So, after making a flight, I try to load a new one without switching to a different aircraft, and the flight stops loading at around 40% after pressing "fly". If I use a different aircraft each time I create a new flight, I have no issues. This occurs no matter what aircraft I use, default or third party. It would be helpful if the loading bar indicated what was loading at each point so there would be a starting point for trouble shooting but there isn't and I can't seem to find any threads that address a similar loading issue. Ideas?

    Hello all, Has anyone experienced any ILS landing issues recently predominantly using the Fenix/FBW A320s? Have yet to try the default ac. Everything is set up for landing, intercepting G/S from beneath at the required altitude tracks fine laterally but aircraft just stays at the FAP altitude. Positive i have not missed any steps for the approach phase. Tried Cat I & III landings both APs single AP to no avail only just got back into the sim after a few weeks away it was all working fine prior to this week. Any suggestions guys & gals? Thank You Regards

    Not alot of chat on here about the new Mini500 chopper. Just thought I'd post up to see if anyone on here purchased it (only 15bucks US) and having a fun time with it. Great product, right up there with the quality of their Wilga. Anyway, if you fly it, let me know what you think. Personally, I love it. A heap of fun. Enjoy! Jase

  23. Now that we're all well and truly aboard the hype train to MSFS2024 town (exciting isn't it!?) it dawn's on me that the current Sim will lose attention the further along the tracks we go (see what I did there!?). Sure they've said that MSFS2020 will have future support which is great, the Roadmap before the announcement suggests so (unless it was a placeholder...), but anyone with experience of gaming & simulation history knows full well that support won't last forever and it's anyone's guess when it'll come full stop at the end of the line so that they can go full steam ahead on the new sim (ok I'll stop now!). So I ask one simple thing and I plea to Jorg a…
