  1. So at all most every airport I have good FPS and performance. I bought LEVC from BMW last week. (BEAUTIFUL MODEL OF THE WORLD) For some reason changing views on this Airport is a disaster. FPS drops are insane between switching views. It only happens with this airport (LEVC) Anyone else has this same issue ? Also for some reason I cannot find there website and ask for support.

    I've followed all the steps in the checklists and several videos watched online and I still get the Red Warning when I hit the Config Button. * All white lights extinguished on Overhead Panel * Flaps Set * T/O Data Confirmed * All NAV and SURV areas confirmed * Gust Lock and Parking Brake - OFF Anyone have any ideas what I might be missing in the take off config? I'm pretty sure I'm not missing anything and hope it isn't another bug!

  3. The latest episode of the German-language podcast "Die Simulanten" featured an interview with Hans Hartmann in which, among other things, he talks about his plans for the ATR and CRJ. I thought the information from the podcast might be interesting to those who don't speak German or simply don't want to listen to the whole interview. (There's a whole lot more there for those who want to listen to the whole thing.) ATR The changelog for the update coming on Tuesday contains around 45 fixes. VNAV wasn't complete in the initial release. Improvements are coming, and it sounded as if they might already be in the Tuesday update, but this wasn't entirely clear. …

    Hello, I just discovered framerate generation with my 4080, and virtually had my jaw dropped, going from some 35fps to over 80 (didn't A-B compare, but the situation on stand the same stand at EGLL (no addon), Fenix, cockpit, weather). Anyhoo... while 80fps is GREAT, stuttery sim without VSYNC and frame limitation is worse than anything else. I tried limiting with RTSS, but it's worse than bad. VSYNC in the sim doesn't work any more, no impact on the FPS. Is there something recommended please?

  5. Hey Folks, I'm a recent convert from P3D to MSFS. I just purchased Inibuilds JFK via MS Marketplace, and while it runs beautifully on my new system, I was wondering how I could disable any options I might not like. Can this be done with scenery purchased via the Marketplace? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Pete

    Inspired by the AOPA Pilots Video and article by Thomas A. Horne (AOPA Pilot Editor at Large) - "TBM Technique: Landing in Style Prop-Strike Prevention 101" we apply the real world aircraft configuration to Flight Simulator. Just to make it interesting, we visit the world's lowest airfield located in Masada, Israel. Bar Yehuda Airfield (sometimes known as Masada Airfield) is a small desert airfield located in the southern Judean desert, west of the Dead Sea. The runway sits at an elevation of -394 meters/-1292 feet below sea level!

    I have a problem talking to the default ATC which has happened over the last 3 flights on the last 3 days. It does not appear to be aircraft specific has it has happened with both the Fenix A320 and the PMDG 737-800. When I start my flight at the gate I have 2 way communications with the ATC as normal and can hear both Pilot and ATC commands. However at sometime during the flight I loose the sound from the pilot to the ATC although my response to ATC instructions are visible in the ATC text window and are acknowledge by ATC. Communications with AI traffic and ATC are not affected as I hear 2 way communications with the AI traffic. I have not made any changes to m…

    Hi all, I have tried practically everything on this issue...I have a monitor that has a refresh of 75 with AMD Freesync, I have followed all instructions to get it setup within the Nvidia CP and Im also on the latest 517.48 Gameready drivers. No matter what I do there is a ton of screen tearing happening on MSFS2020 Should I just set my monitor to 60 instead of 75 the lock at 30? Would like to use the Freesync feature if I could...I tried the Nvidia G-SYNC Pendulum Demo and its smooth without any tearing on the G-Sync mode My monitor is a Viewsonic VX2757 and my specs are listed bellow Asus Tuf Gaming Plus B550 Asus Ryzen 9 5900X EVGA RTX 3070 64GB DDR4 Ra…

    I came across this on Panjno's YT channel, and tried it out. Now, it could be the usual 'placebo' effect, but I'm sure it's done something to improve matters. The instruments in the JF Arrow III seem a bit sharper than they did yesterday. Worth looking at by all Nvidia GPU users. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_is1jRo86VM

  15. I dont know if this issue is already discussed somewhere, since there are a lot of Anti Aliasing related topics here and elsewhere. I noticed that some static objects have very strong shimmering on them while actually being static on screen. That means it occurse when there is no no panning, camera or aircraft movement (where without any AA one would expect shimmering to occur). Everything else seems fine. The issue is especially noticeable at night, where the area where an airport floodlight illuminates itself is shimmering. I also noticed it on cranes, poles or window frames. On some addon airports it seems to be spread all over the terminal, which is really a deal…

    Hey All, Had a flight yesterday into CYDL Pilot2ATC gave me the RNAV Y RWY 03 approach with the VEVMO transition but in the FMC of the ATR that transition wasn't listed, although the approach was there. I also noticed the RNAV Z approach was missing. So I am not sure is this a bug with Navigraph not updating the sim, is it a bug with ATR not pulling all of the navdata correctly? I have done a bunch of google searches and I cannot find anyone else complaining about this so I am thinking I am the only one? I tried removing and readding my Navigraph data, but not sure what is going on. Any suggestions?

  17. Hi all, I have mapped the X and Y axis to my joystick (Logitech attack 3). The problem is that with every small movement by the joystick the aircraft makes small movements up and down, like shaking. The inputs are not smooth and the aircraft is jumping around in the air. Any hint? Thanks, Chris

  20. What's the trick to persuade MSFS to log the flight after finishing with the ATR? I've tried various ways of closing down and had it working once, but no more (!!). 1) I don't use DEV mode (which appears to be a frequently reported problem with logging). 2) I've tried gates and regular parking slots - with and without using ATC. 3) I've tried shuting down the engines with and without ground power. There must be a correct sequence to all this (which I must have hit upon once before) but I just can't work out what it could have been!

    I’m trying out the “Pause at Top of Descent” feature with the FBW A320 and…it did indeed pause at the TOD. However now it won’t un-pause. Anyone know how to fix? I tried pressing ‘enter’, ‘esc’, ‘p’, etc. Nothing works. And can’t click with mouse because the mouse cursor won’t appear, but the sim audio is still playing so I know it’s not frozen.
