    Hi, does anyone know why I have seen some folks on YouTube with their speed and alt in the FMC on each waypoint...I have filled all the fields in the FMC but when I check my waypoints there are barley any alt restrictions and never have I seen speeds. What could I be doing wrong. I also do import from simbrief.

  4. No Maule M7 on PC (whoops) but Big Radials' Noorduyn Norseman is out instead for your rugged bush flying needs. So far I've spotted it on Big Radials own store and OrbX and there might be others as well.

  5. I've installed the 3rd instalment and just flown the Porter on the Eastern shores of the UAE (OMKH to OMDI) and found all the pylons and towers that make departure and arrival so ... interesting 😉. So thanks ! BTW great scenery there for bush flying, from Oman to the Northern tip of the peninsula. Rugged and dry mountainous terrain.

  9. The question is clear: Can you notice Frame generation is on when using TAA? How does it look? Are any screen areas looking worse despite the double frame rate? Speaking about 1440p here, not 4K. And what about in case of low fps? Let's say you go from 30 fps without FG to 60 fps... Some reviews suggest it works well only in the 100+ fps range. Thank you.

    I have noticed that with both default and payware sceneries of Fairbanks Alaska that when looking east towards Fairbanks town/city that there is a sudden short drop in fps by about 20 to 30 fps causing a major stutter fest which lasts for only a few seconds. I don't have any Fairbanks city mods installed, I only have Orbx Alaska Mesh. Has anyone else noticed this?

  14. After countless testing and reboots I think I found the culprit causing the error which only started happening after the update to SU 1.31.22. It's reproducible in my setup. Depending in your point of view, the error is caused by the new upgrade in MSFS, the old 1070ti GPU, or a setting in the nVidia GPU driver. In my case, that setting is the "4x Sparse Grid Supersampling" set in the nVidia Inspector app used to get rid of shimmering in Prepar3d.

It's the Simbrief Panel, free download on Flightsim.to Basically, it pops the essentials from a flight generated on Simbrief in a very handy moveable and scalable panel in your cockpit. Perfect for entering the essential data into the FMS! And it's instant! There's a YTube here giving a decent demo:

  24. Hello, I dont know when they are finally going to remove that message at all and how hard it can be for a professional programming team at Asobo to do so. But the "connection lost" message recently started to render my sim unusable. It pops up and I have no mouse cursor to click "ok", so usually i have to press esc to bring the menu up, then i can click it, usually. But currently, for some reason, after doing so my sim is in active pause. I hear my planes engines, i can use view and sim controls, but nothing moves. Pressing the active pause key or trying to use the flow script assigned to that function changes nothing. Only thing i can do to get out is quit MSFS…

  25. Everything is working fine after a new motherboard upgrade with the exception of one thing. After going back to Steam and uninstalling MSFS and then installing to a new drive, MSFS is somehow reverting back to the old drive where it no longer resides. As a result the old version starts up and then crashes part way through. I thought it may be a registry problem but that checks out. Has anyone else had this problem ? Any help will be much appreciated.
