Ok, what am I doing wrong here? All of a sudden I get NO search results with the search function here. I can type the word "flight" and I will get zero results.

Hi everyone, two days ago I bought PRO ATC/SR and since then I'm experiencing a big issue with the ATC: basically, I can only hear some random parts of the ATC transmission unless I pause the game or hold the right-click mouse button. Strangely everything works fine with the checklist. I already tried writing a post on pointsoft forum but the developer said It could be "all and everything" 😕 ; also on the Microsoft Forum another guy has my same problem. Any ideas?

Is it me or is the GSX pushback after a turn a abrupt stop. Let me explain. When chosen for a straight pushback the stop of the pushback is very smooth. But when for example you have chosen custom with turns or nose left or right the stop is VERY abrupt !! For me this is an immersion killer. I wish this was fixed instead of new catering companies every update. But maybe it only happens to me ? See movie for the abrupt stop. https://www.dropbox.com/s/46foi2o5395ibj2/freeze.MP4?dl=0

I found this excellent freeware - Got Friends Got Gravel Vertigo - 360 knots in the air and take off or touch down in STOL manner. Thank you very much, Got Friends! It is allready equipped with the G3X Avionics - formerly advanced by the WT mod - now replaced by the default AAU G3X which has lost some of the WT modifications, mainly the autopilot switch functions. So now I have to use an additional tool to operate the autopilot which is called RemoteFlightServer / Remote Flight App on the IPhone. There is still documented a way to replace the G3X MFD by the PMS GTN 750 (helped by a mod made by JayDee (JDs PMSGTN750 on other Mods)). The GTN750 incorporates an aut…

After working out issues with my CH Products pedals, and getting other things stabilized, I was able to fly an IFR flight from PADQ to PANC. I used the IFR low altitude flight plan. When I got to the approach following ATC, the controller brought me down to 2100 ft. The last instruction was climb and maintain 5300 ft. Nothing afterwards. I did have this occasionally happen in FSX. Back to PILOT2ATC.

Community, I'm loving the ability to view various views on a separate monitor or i-pad or other like Navigraph. Are there any utilities or software that allows us to do the same for viewing specific gauges in the cockpit like altitude and speed? Thanks in advance. Tim

I'm back flying from KDEN more often again and I see the heinous terrain elevation defects persist in the Premium Deluxe version of KDEN. I zendesked it months ago to no avail except it was marked as, "Resolved" or something like that. So I again visited the Marketplace and see FB's listing at $19.99, gulp, it better be really good. So I found this review, which paints a very sad picture of KDEN by FB: MSFS Add-On Review - Flightbeam Denver International - YouTube I've always liked what MS/A did w/ KDEN until the elevation defects appeared and it's really unfortunate because it's very decent otherwise. Your thoughts again please... Also, I just took off from…

I fly from the copilot seat. I have custom views set up for this. When I use the hat switch on my joystick to glance left or right it's done from the pilot seat. What do I need to adjust to get the base position for this movement to be from the copilot side, matching the position of my cockpit view (Alt 1 in my set up).

Hey Folks, I'm a late convert to MSFS, but been simming for over 30 years. I already have the Fenix, but I'd like to try out the FBW with some nice liveries. For some reason, this appears to be the only aircraft where adding liveries manually, as usual to the community folder, won't make those new liveries show in the sim's AC selection. I have a brand new system and didn't have this issue on my old system, go figure ;-) I have the MS Store version of MSFS and everything has been updated, incl. all drivers. Any help would be appreciated, Pete

I really appreacite that asobo don't have the windows bar on the top anymore where you could exit the simulator. I still miss a feature that warns you before quitting the sim. I was trying a short cut to find a feature but pressed ALT+F4 without giving it a thought. I was on the decend of a 4+ hours flight. Of course this is frustrating, a pop up windows that ask for confirmation for quitting msfs would be helpful. Of course it's my fault and this isn't something that happens often, but such a feature would be much appreciatet!

Hi guys, I have been impressed with the latest version of the Headwind A330. This could be my long-hauler of choice until the 777 provides the balance, much like todays 737/A320 dynamic. (Both of which I switch in and out of). I found the HW flew very well, 3 hour flight, climbed out nicely, no big pitch or power problems, Approach and landing very nice to hand fly at the end. I did a short block in 4x speed and it handled it fine. What impressed me the most was the sound set. It has this really nice bottom-end rumble to it that you often feel when in the cabin for real. Putting a small bit of power in when taxiing really feels nice. The first few seconds …

With the last update of MSFS 2020, going from GamePass to purchased, the hat views for CH Products Yoke are awesome, except I can’t scroll the view between the seats to get to switch tanks lever. Even planing back through the mouse wheel zoom doesn’t get me there. But much improved! Any ideas? Thanks!

Having just got back into FS after 3-4 yrs and finally getting all my cockpit hardware and my custom FIP gauges running with MSFS20, I am confused re the total lack of VOR frequencies. I only fly with twin props and prefer the old fashioned way of navigating and FSX had many airports offering VORs and NDBs but MSFS20 seems to offer non .. at least in my area ( southern Aust.). I am assuming its just not on to be seen not using the latest nav aids... but I'm hoping..., is there a database somewhere in the sim that frequencies can be obtained which work ... if not, can VORs / NDBs be added in as a mod which I used to do in FSX via Airport Design Editor

This is directed to anyone who has the Fenix A320: I've only had the airplane for a month, and I'm noticing that it's very temperamental. Has anyone else experienced perf data spontaneously dropping before takeoff? In the same occurrence, I also noticed that my flight plan was not registering on the navigation display. Is this a known glitch? Or perhaps there was something I did that caused this? Any ideas? Note: I apologize in advance if this topic was not put in the right category. Cheers!

Amir and Team, Happy Birthday to 'your baby's' 1st birthday!!! For me personally it was the greatest release of a flight sim product ever! The A320 still gives me hours of enjoyment and I really appreciate the quality and depth! Keep up the good work!

As much as I love my Honeycomb setup equals the disappointment that I have in their customer service. I purchased the 737 upgrade from a vendor on etsy and since this required me to remove the handle from throttles 1&3. If I want to switch to a four engine aircraft I would have to unscrew and replace the upgrade with the stock handle. Over time I felt that this could compromise the handles. I have opened a ticket with Honeycomb asking to purchase 1&3 (or a complete set) if necessary. I have sent three follow up emails requesting an answer. Thanks to a fellow simmer in Australia I was directed to their website and found what I was needing. We have been exchangin…

Hi all, My local airport is East Midlands Airport in the UK, living under the approach path for runway 27. I’ve been following the development updates on twitter by Pyreegue, who is working on this airport and the teaser preview screenshots look to be absolutely fantastic. The level of detail is outstanding. I think this is going to be their best work yet on already next level airports released so far, eg Belfast and Edinburgh. I can’t wait for release day. (Hopefully soon) This looks to be awesome. Is anyone else looking forward to this airport coming to MSFS…?

Since a request has been put out for the A350 I thought I'd start a developer request as well. We have the Longitude, we have the BBJ but it would be nice to have other options. Long haul flights into lessor known small airfields is just as cool as bush flying into small fields. Runways a little under 5,000ft can be a challenge for a larger jet but it happens all the time for some pilots. Extra flaps, speed considerations, lack of ILS approaches, etc is all on the table. Putting a jet down from Europe/Dubai into these smaller GA airfields slightly outside if cities on the other side of the world is satisfying to complete. We have many short haul private jets like the …
