    There's a preview stream of FSReborn's M500 starting right now. The detail seems to be very in depth just like their Sting. https://www.twitch.tv/twotonemurphy

    Hello, good day. When I change the camera from the cockpit to the outside and then back to the cockpit a white ball appears. And there are times when the cursor is ''flashing'' and I can not move anything. What can I do, it was after an update I had. I've tried to unassign the joystick camera commands, but it continues.

  4. I have the Carenado Skymaster and some models have a white interior and others a black interior. Today I added an addon livery and that in itself works fine, but its a dark livery and it has the white interior assigned to it. Which entry, in which file do I need to change to switch the interior?

    I know there is a freeware Malaga airport, but I find it odd that there is still no payware version of one of the most popular airports in Spain and certainly amongst simmers in other sims. It was ages before it was released in P3D, eventually being produced by SimWings for Aerosoft. Does anyone know if there is anyone in the process of developing this airport for 2020?

  7. So I borrowed a throttle and a Sidestick form someone and it worked all just fine except with the fenix a 320. in other planes the throttle moves correctly, but when I get in to the fenix, the throttle goes either TOGA either max reverse. I tried calibrating my controls but nothing works. Do you have any solutions?

  8. JUNE 29TH, 2023 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE Posted by: Microsoft Flight Simulator Team This week’s Screenshot Challenge winner is forum user HeKa48. If you’re interested in participating in our weekly Screenshot Challenges, check out the details in the Community section below! The team was absolutely thrilled to attend FlightSimExpo 2023 in Houston last weekend! We loved meeting many members of the flight sim community at our booth on the convention floor. Earlier today, we posted a re-cap article where several members of the MSFS team discussed their personal highlights from the event. We also recently updated our Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 FAQ…

  10. OK, with today's mandatory update we appear to have entered a new phase, which has not solved the problem but may possibly move toward a solution. I am one of those MSFS users who never encountered the "graphics error" followed by a CTD, until SU12 came along, and since then they have been constant. I and others have concluded that it is NOT a graphics driver problem: old drivers, latest drivers, it makes no difference. (I am using DX11). Today's update changes the wording in the graphics error to provide some new information -- it says "you are using an unsupported driver (531.29). Please update your graphics driver using a version greater than 535.79". Well, I installe…

    Upgraded with the AAU update and yesterday flew the 787 very successfully from LHR to SCL. Today, back in the sim flying the return leg and the EICAS won't show any memo messages: APU RUNNING / PASS SIGNS ON / AUTOBRAKE RTO / AUTOBRAKE 1 etc Anyone have any idea why I've suddenly lost them? I've asked on Discord but no answers yet. B

    The first time I flew in 2020 I was blown away with things, especially how crisp the ground textures were and how that awful morphing was no longer present on hills and mountains. Wow, what a difference now! For some time now all I can see is awful blurry ground textures. Even with both LODs set to 120 and all other 'heavy hitters' set to high rather than ultra. No AI cars or other heavy scenarios. All scenery disbaled via addon linker, except for the airports I'm using. I have to admit I am getting rather tired of how things seem to continue taking a backward step after each update, at least that's what it seems like to me. For the first time since using 2020 I have had …

    Since Flightsim Labs want to release the Concorde for both P3D and MSFS, no word yet as to what will be the delay between the two release, if there is one, here is the preview from today, as a big fan of concorde, it looks really cool : I had promised some previews before the year end – so allow me to share a few details on some of the features you can expect to see: Here’s a shot of G-BOAA flying in the British Airways Negus livery. We’ve painted all the liveries the aircraft flew in – even the hybrids that operated between livery transitions. Not only that – but each airframe (fourteen production aircraft) has been configured with its retrospective weig…

  16. Aerosoft has been working for a very long time on its highly-anticipated simulation of the Airbus A330 for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The wide-body airliner is one of the most interesting projects currently in development for the simulator, despite some apprehension from a spectrum of simmers who have some doubts about the developer’s goals with the project. The level of depth and detail that will feature in the Aerosoft A330 is still to be determined, but it’s safe to say that it won’t be up to the high realism of the PMDG 737 or the Fenix A320. Mathijs Kok, Project Manager at Aerosoft, has continuously said that they aim to deliver the experience of an airline pil…

    Hi all, I've been out of the loop for a while but tried to install the latest update (France, benelux I think it's called) the other day: Downloaded OK but the installation got stuck on decompression. Left it running for an hour or so, still stuck at the decompression stage. When I tried to quit to desktop the sim wouldn't shut down, it was stuck. The only way to shut down now is with task manager. Has anyone had this and have you found a solution? Thanks folks

    Good day From their discord @everyone - **Base Pack 1.2.2 Released to FBW installer** - refining the models, matching and liveries * Enhanced VMR file generated using scripting by <@299118126501724161> - thanks for the updates to the VMR scripting! These changes should improve overall matching and give better handling of special liveries. Remember to re-apply the VMR file after every base pack update. * 77 new liveries across both real life and virtual airlines - https://www.fslivetrafficliveries.com/liveries/ which you can order by added date * VL3 model added * Sound updates including rumble tweaks * Flight model …

    At a short distance, the view gets washed out, like out of focus. I tried all possible settings in the graphics option, different nvidea drivers, dx11/dx12, clear caches etc..... but nothing seems to help.

    Haven't used the TBM much for the last few months, and the recent avionics update has me trying it again. Impressive. One thing I haven't figured out yet is how to open the doors. Can work the main door just fine, but the pilot's door locks itself 99% of the time I try to 'pull' the handle (although it seems to work okay when the main is already open). Is there some as yet unfound trick to work the pilot's door?

    I'm assuming the new SDK has what it takes to build a Cabri (and please not another Nemeth effort). I'm a little surprised the H125, H134, H145 hasn't been updated to make the most of the heli dynamics (or does it take so much more time to adapt?). Also curious to know what's in the pipeline (I know of the rumour of the MD500, but that's about it).
