    Does anyone else have Flytampa's scenery for KLAS? Recently I was there and realized that I could no longer drone camera inside the terminal and see out the windows onto the ramp..I can be inside the terminal but I cannot view the outside from the windows. Before I could do this.. I have nvidia and the recent driver updates. Wonder if it has anything to do with that?

    I can't get this feature to work. I have created a flight plan, verified it, connected with the simulator, filed the plan and am ready to fly. But the on top feature doesn't work. Has anyone had a similar experience and or does anyone have ideas on how to address issue? Thanks!

  5. Hey guys, I'm really looking forward to a high quality regional turboprop but I'm not really sure what sort of level to expect. Does anyone have any insight? I've looked at the preview videos and it looks good - but it's hard to tell what sort of detail is simulated and given this is the 'expert series' aircraft, we don't really have any precedent. Does anyone have any more info on this? Are we looking at justflight 146 level, PMDG, or something lower fidelity like aerosoft?

    Hi all I am trying to reinstall the CPFlight 737 MCP Pro2 panel (the version that utilises the ethernet cable). I used this for P3D successfully. Unsuccessful at this stage to get it working in MSFS. Runtime Error: 40006 'Wrong Protocol or connection state for the requested transaction' I have followed the instructions in their latest 737 README software, with little success. They don't seem to have much reference to the MCP Pro2 on their website any longer but instead focus on the USB connection type. Wondering whether anyone else has the ethernet version successfully connected. Erich

  12. Good day, Since porting over to my new System (see below) i got issue with (i believe) vsync in MSFS. The issue is the following: MSFS starts to stutter from time to time while running at a stable 60FPS framerate. So i guess its not a stutter caused by low performance. Alt+Tab out and back in the game and its smooth again until it starts over again. Sometimes every few minutes, sometimes once an hour sor so. I just have to tab out and back in. Setup is as followed: Nvidia CP Max frame rate set to 60FPS, Monitor refresh rate is at 60Hz, Vsync is set to on globally. In MSFS i have Vsync set to off, Frame Genereation is on and Antialiasing is TAA. …

  16. I am reaching out to the community because I am at my wits end. I recently fired up the flightsim in a long while and cannot configure my equipment.I have the thrust master pedals as well as the alpha and bravo setup. The yoke appears to be ok but my pedals don’t operate property. I can only map the right pedal and get no brakes. The bravo is useless, I can only program the buttons and switches but none of the engine controls will map. I have watched every YouTube video that I can find to no avail. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. thanks Phill Dant

    Mentour Pilot has some really worth watching videos, and he uses MFS a lot for the recordings of his tutorials and / or accident analysis. Here's a very interesting scenario, unfortunately from a RL accident that took place in 2015. It's interesting to try to replicate using real world weather in MFS ( it doesn't work that well with manually set weather, so you''l have to find spots in the World with identical meteo conditions as well as runways suitable for the type of aircraft you're using and with the same limitations regarding approach aids.

  18. Hi. I really like this program but I was surprised to see that the landing report didnt tell me my pitch. (it has max overall pitch but not landing pitch) This is surprising considering how many less important parameters its sure to cover. Am I just not finding it, or is this an oversight by the developer?

  19. Hidden in plain sight on the northern peninsula of Humboldt Bay CA, O33 Samoa Field is a lightly-used GA airfield with an interesting history and tons of PNW "cool factor" appeal. Bracketed by KFOT Rohnerville to the south and KEKA Murray field as well as KACV Arcata-Humboldt County airport to the north, O33 is built upon what was once a WWII Navy Blimp base. It's also home to the NHRA-sanctioned Samoa Drag Strip, a full quarter-mile dragstrip and haven for NorCal hot rodders and drag racers. Additionally, what was once the Officer's Quarters has been converted into a "boutique" hotel and event venue - the Humboldt Bay Social Club, which retains the rustic feel of the …

Approach Bordeaux was terrible with pop-ups (scenery) When parked and only with 12kts wind the outside view sounds like there is a storm or tornado approaching. Is there something to do about this wind (storm) sound ?

With the FBW or the Fenix for example? Taking into account that im a very lazy guy regarding setting up programs, keys and bindings do you think i can put this to work with Axis and OHS or Linda?

    Being a collector of liveries, I recently sprung for the Virtualcol E-190/E-195. It was updated Dec'14 2022 & flies much better than I expected from reviews. Still a bit twitchy on the controls. I can't find where to activate Nav1, or feed in the frequency for an ILS landing, [assuming it can manage an ILS. The rest of the AP system appears to work ok so far.] Anyone admit to this purchase & point me in the right direction? Thanks T45
