    Is there a way -maybe by renaming the plane or something- to make Bonanza hangar from G36 Improvement Project recognize analog Bonanza mod A36 as G36?? Has anyone done that?

    I use the [excellent] AT Simulations An-2 old/basic model - and can operate the ADF with no problems. However - on the left hand side of the VC, there's a comms unit that also includes a NAV radio where you can tune to VOR beacons. I see no way that VOR can be used. Am I doing something basically wrong, or should that part of the unit not be there? Also - is there ever an audio tone transmitted when an ADF (or VOR) beacon is tuned in? I've never heard one - though the "volume" knobs appear to animate.

  6. After AAU1 the C208 Improvement Mod still worked well - I probably made about a dozen flights with it and had no issues. I loaded her up last night for the first flight since the WU and it's a mess! Every time I spawned I was looking through the pilot's sunglasses and couldn't get rid of it. I finally found a post about setting the pilot's weight to 0.0. That got rid of it, but there is now a copilot avatar in the right seat - I don't know where that came from. The control surfaces appeared to respond properly but the throttle connection appears to be tanked. The options were still set as before but it now doesn't move through the proper range - reverse thru…

  7. If you have a subscription, then you probably got email saying EDDW and LICC Catania Fontanarossa are updated. I had 3 or so other BMW airports that I had not updated or downloaded yet (his site was down during the part of the war period). Compared the date in community with file manager to the dates of new versions to see which needed updating. https://beautifulmodelworld.com/ (he no longer has a dot r u domain site, it's dot com).

    Is the Fenix A320 one engine variant? I see mention of an IAE, but it appears to be unreleased yet. I'm trying to pick the correct profile in ForeFlight, and I have 211, 212, 214, 231, 232. I created a Discord account, but I have no idea how to even use it, or where to ask questions.😆

    Crisscrossing the Orbx Himalayas with the excellent Milviz Pilatus Porter these days and many lovely freeware from FSTO for India, Bhutan and Nepal. Just did a nice flight, full load of crates, from Pokhara to Jomsom, a great little airport by Mr Del Rosso with a sloped runway at 9000 feet of altitude. Great vistas all around. Who needs Courchevel, I ask you 😁 ? From VNPK, you fly NW to join the NH48 highway and fly North close to the road with the ground steadily climbing below the Porter’s belly. The G530 is helpful.

    Just finished installing MSFS2020 on my 13900K/4090 on the latest Windows 11 Pro. The sim is very fast, frames are outstanding, 120+ but my panning is not very smooth. It's not a stutter, just not smooth. When I was using the 4090 on my 10900K with Windows 10 my panning was butter smooth. I've tried all the sync settings and nothing helps. I wondwer if this is a Windows 11 22H2 issue. Any suggestions?

    I have noticed that my fps will drop by about 10 to 15fps after a certain amount of time spent flying. The only way to fix this is to turn off online services and turn it on again. I know that today is Cross The Pond, and that a lot of people will be online using MSFS, but this is an issue that needs to be researched more into so that the route cause of the performance loss can be eradicated.

    I have just upgraded my intel i7/16gb ram/rtx3060 to an i9/32gb ram/rtx4070. With my current setup on ultra, I struggle to break 25 fps in the PMDG 737 with FSLTL at FSDT KORD. Should I be able to keep the settings at ultra and notice an increase in FPS at a heavy scenery area in the PMDG or alike?

    Does anybody know how to get rid of apron Elevation issue with this airport ?, i bought it through MP regretably , using FS Traffic , better Taxiway signs , GSX Pro , FSUIPC, etc etc ?

  16. Having some trouble getting this all sorted out... Prior to the AAU1 upgrade you could use the 414 with the PMS GTN750 and select the "GTN750 + WT" livery. The RNAV approach functionality lacked vertical tracking but you could always VS down through the altitude constraints. Now, running the latest version of both the 414 and the PMS GTN750, I expected that AAU1 functionality would have been integrated. The 414 VNV autopilot button is still inop but everything otherwise loads/functions as it should. Except, even with APPR armed in GPS mode, the RNAV glide path arms but never executes - it never descends to follow the altitude constraints at each approach waypoint.…

    I'm using the Headwind A330-900 and everytime I hover over a button or switch it glows. I think this is an accesibility option, but I don't have it happen in any other aircraft (Fenix & FBW A320). Can I turn it off? Thanks

  18. I state the title of this as trade off because no question this comes into play. This screenshot demonstrates when frame rate is limited (in this case 34fps) the load on the GPU goes down accordingly. Unlocked this shot was at ~62fps with GPU utilization at 99%. Locking frame rate to 34 drives this same scene to 51% leaving headroom to accommodate a significant increase in cloud resolution. Clouds on Ultra of course. Especially at this kind of an altitude there isn't much appreciable difference between 34fps and 62fps, at least not nearly compared to having substantially higher resolution cloud depiction (like the examples below). Not saying that RW level is going t…

    I had a power surge (during CTP! 😭) and my pc turned off (I know, I should've bought a UPS but this is the first time in years...). Anyway, do you know a software that allows you to save full aircraft configuration (including FMC / MCDU ) and position and restore the flight (similar to the function in Toliss planes)?

    I'm on mobile so I can't get onto Facebook to view the links Sounds like the baron is pressurized and not, turbo charged or normally aspirated. Not certain on the Bonanza but it did have analog radios with options for no gps and it had tip tanks. It's from black square similar to the king air and caravan.

    More than 2½ years after release I figured MSFS is stable enough to give it a try. I purchased the DeLuxe version on Steam but it crashes seconds after the title screen (where some of the aircraft are shown) is displayed. I'm running on a PC with Windows 10. I've disabled my anti virus program, have tried safe mode, synchronized my Windows clock, updated everything in the Microsoft Store, restarted the PC, verified the integrity of the Steam files, un- and reinstalled MSFS - no change. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
