  1. Interesting post on the FSHud forum! Since I don't really use the traffic feature of FSHud I myself am looking forward most to the User Flight Experience improvements!!! Version 1.3 development - what to expect ATC Behavior Changes 1. The application now fully supports traffic separation - airborne and on the ground. Airborne - for separation and conflict avoidance - vectoring and speed instructions will be given to user and AI Traffic aircraft at the same level. Ground - taxi hold position and follow the aircraft instructions will be issued accordingly 2. Implemented go-around ability. 3. Improved, more realistic runway selection according to th…

  2. Sorry to bother you all.. but could someone help me with GSX? Just did a clean (1st) install on my system and no matter if I try to load into a addon or default airport it says: "There are no parkings available at this airport" when trying to open the in-game menu - which just says that it's loading and to please wait... Any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate the help 🙂 My game install is fresh and I don't have many mods: PMDG, Navigraph, two addon airports, FSRealistic Pro and that's about it. All installed within the last week.

    I have a problem where my msfs2020 ctd on just about every flight. I removed the Community folder by renaming it .OFF and created a blank community folder to see if there was a problem buried somewhere in there. Sim started fine and flew. Then on decent it CTD. It always seems to crash on decent or within a few minutes after takeoff. So, the problem is within the basic msfs2020 program itself and not anything I have added to the Community folder. What is the correct procedure to completely remove msfs then do a new install? This is the only thing I can think to do. This ctd problem has been present since approx Christmas. Many thanks.

    Can I use PACX and GSX simultaneously? I bought the Fenix sim A320 and it has N iPad with loading passengers etc. I'm wanting to use both PACX for the boarding process and GSX for baggage,catering and pushback etc. Not sure if that's possible or not though.

    Thought we ready to roll, engines running, controls working including throttle, brakes off, but says hydraulic pressure is low, brake failure, and when I push on the throttle nothing happens. I flew this plane a lot the first 8 months or so but not since it's been reworked. Thanks in advance!

    I'm so anxious to get my hands on WU13. I've always had a love for the Hawaiian Islands and hope Asobo/MSFS does a good job at updating this area. Still waiting for a proper PHNL and hopefully a Samscene Honolulu. Does anyone know when WU13 is expected to be out?

  14. I was making a flight from VGJR to VGHS. During the climb, cruise, descent flight was fine with FMS and VNAV. I chose VGHS ILS RW 14. But the Longitude can't intercept and capture localizer. I had initial flaps, speed 180, intercept angle 40 deg. Inbd crs 144 deg, freq 109.50. I can see dashed localizer indication in the PFD, also freq is correct. At intercept, FMS or HDG mode changes to ROL. Any idea please? Regards, Haseen Ahmad.

  15. So, after an hour or something on MSFS, my system tends to get the infamous 1-second-stutter, regardless of load, settings, traffic, scenery, data on/off, or plane. It is clearly visible on the FPS graph in dev mode (enjoy beautiful moonlit annushka btw): Now i managed to balance my settings pretty well, even though i am still running a weak GTX970 GPU, usually i am between 20 and 40 FPS in all scenarios. My CPU is a ryzen 5600X and I have 32GB of RAM installed on Windows 11. So far i looked into: 1. Data settings, i switched them on and off with no change after reading that streaming causes this type of issue. 2. Temperatures of CPU, which are norma…

    Neumann (I think) has alluded to forthcoming "surprises". Wouldn't it be a nice one if the sim started to use The First 30 cm HD Global Imagery Basemap (maxar.com) everywhere ? Seamless, color-homogenised, cloud-free. For the metric-challenged 30 cm are 11.8 inches.

    In LNM I previously had minimum safe altitudes shown over the map which I could use to decide what height to fly without checking every hill either side of my track. I believe this was added by selecting the "show minimum of route altitude grid" option. However of late this option seems to be greyed out so I think I probably need to select something else to enable it. Can anyone tell me how to get it back? Thanks

  18. It appears that the SDK Water Exclusion Polygons (used to exclude unwanted water) no longer function in Beta SU12. For anyone who uses my Water Fix files throughout the US (Flightsim.to), or anyone else's, these will cease to function unless addressed by the Core Developers before the beta period closes. Please vote here to bring attention: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/is-the-broken-water-exclusion-polygons-planned-to-be-fixed-before-su12-goes-out-of-beta/580505 https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/water-exclusion-polygons-stopped-working-in-1-31-18-0-and-are-still-broken-in-1-31-22-0/577738

    Until recently, I have been getting my flight plan loaded in the maps section of Navigraph on my iPad. I pull the flightplan from Simbrief, but the last 4-5 flights I've done, everything is there but my mapped out flight plan. Simlink shows my location, but if I am not in a chart or airport map, there is no flight plan shown in the map. Any idea how to get that back? I'm sure it is just toggling something on, but I have checked everywhere and nothing seems to work. Thanks!

    Hello, 1) When I land and taxi into my parking space and request a refueling truck, it just pulls up next to my plane and parks without attaching itself to my plane to refuel it. Is there a way to fix this? 2) Many airports, including many large international ones, don't even have "colored squares" surrounding the parking areas. This means when I request a fuel truck, the ATC says "none is available." Is there a way to fix this? Thanks for your help!
