    So i have gone from the WB Sim 172 to the Black Square Caravan to the HondaJet. All three are fantastic. Yesterday i decided to give the WT CJ4 a try. I am using the MSFS beta, if that matters. Ultimately i will be moving up to the PMDG 737 at some point so i just wanted to try something a bit more challenging. While the CJ4 is far from study level, as many switches don’t work, the core seems to be there. Currently i have two issues. First, the plane is super twitchy. The plane really feels like it has no weight in the air. I don’t want to mess with my controller settings, because all my other planes feel good. But the CJ4 just feels strange. The second issue i…

    I'm using the default built-in pushback in the Fenix but it's not doing anything. Any ideas?

  4. Hello, fellow virtual pilots! So, I have had my Fenix A320 for going on two weeks now. I love the way she flies, but I seem to be having issues with how she handles during takeoff roll and certainly landings (specifically touchdown). The airplane seems to be a bit touchy on takeoff roll--meaning it is challenging keeping it straight on centerline using the rudder pedals. The same is true for touchdowns, only on touchdowns it goes completely out of control when I apply the least bit of rubber input to maintain alignment on the centerline. Not sure what’s going on there. My hardware setup is Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Side Stick and throttle quadrant, as well as…

    Hi, i still couldn't figure out a way to replay my flights in msfs. I use Flight Recorder and Sky Dolly. Both don't do what I would expect. However, I have seen youtube videos where it seems possible, so probably it on my end? I want to record / replay the flight in a way, that cockpit settings/displays, spoilers, flaps and reversers are accurate. What I see is the opposite. Not accurate Display settings, spoilers out all the time on replay, no resever thrust. Is there a way to get there?

    Not sure my topic title explains what I am wondering. I am wondering how many people use different types of flight control definitions, meaning: do you configure everything within MSFS, do you use SpadNext, do you use Axis & Ohs, or something else. I have the simulator since it came out but have not spent very much time with it. Now that I am fully retired, I am starting to want to get it properly configured. I am not a pilot and I know very little about flying at all. So, at least for now, I am not trying to configure commercial airliners or anything like that. I have Honeycomb devices (Alpha / Beta) and some rudder pedals. I would love it if p…

  8. Pretty surprised that there has been zero chatter about it here since it release several days ago. Maybe folks are finally doing a little research before they buy instead of impulse-buying a pretty model and fancy marketing speak. 🙂 No doubt the external model is very beautiful (that has never been an issue with CS), and they actually created a pretty nice looking cockpit model from what I see in the marketing pics...but this is a CS product for MSFS...so you should know what that means concerning systems and such (you'll be flying a default 747-8 system-wise). In a new twist, they are offering livery packs for it. Not a bad price (aprox $1 per livery...you …

    Last Friday when i started the sim, i heard music........which means BIG TROUBLE! I always turn the music off (annoying) and save before doing anything else. Now the app is asking me to choose various settings bla, bla, bla. After doing that i turn the music down save and exit. Restart...................................music! well you get the point i'm unable to save any settings. I mean the tune isn't that bad but now i know why it sounds so sad. You are going to sit there for hours and hours troubleshooting with a ruined dinner, banging your keyboard (wireless) against your forehead - right ?

    Hello. I have problem with Little Navmap in ms2020. The developer of the Little Nav map believes that the fault lies with PSXT. I use RealTraffic, PSXT, Little Navmap and aircraft from Just Flight and FSLTL. On the zoomed-out map, only my own aircraft is visible. No AI plans. If I zoom in on an airport, I see all the parked AI planes on the ground. The developer of Little Navmap has seen various screenshots from me and cannot find the error. He thinks that PSXT is not injecting the traffic correctly. Anyone have a solution to my problem.? Kjelle

    I have been running various aircraft into KBOS Rwy 15R, practicing ILS approaches. So far all of them have behaved as expected & executed a satisfactory ILS down to the runway. However, the GNS 430/530 & AP equipped MSFS/AH Retro DC-3 is picking up the glide path ok & descending, but in the last few miles it is dropping below the glide path & tries to land short. Other aircraft with the same GPS & AP combination are making it to the runway. I am not flying a slow approach so I can't figure out why the DC-3 is bailing out. Any thoughts? T45

  13. Posted by: Microsoft Flight Simulator Team Screenshot by CpuGeta486 (Twitter) Hot off last week’s release of Aircraft & Avionics 1, the team is currently preparing for the next two major additions to Microsoft Flight Simulator: World Update 12: New Zealand and Sim Update 12. For the latter, we are currently in the final stages of preparing the first public test build. If you wish to help test SU12 and share your feedback and bug reports with the developers, watch closely for more information about how you can join the upcoming beta.

    Well, it’s finally here, but I’m going to be the first to say I’m pretty disappointed and this will not be a day 1 purchase for me. The p3d version of KCVG from SS was mediocre at best and it looks like their MSFS product isn’t far off from that either. Maybe it’s the poor still images they used, but the attention to detail, poor resolution, and weird textures are throwing me off here. Maybe someone else who picks it up will shed some light on how it is for them. First, the resolution of these images is absolutely terrible. The images on their site literally have pixels showing to the point where it’s almost hard on the eyes. Second, the images use stock planes. This…

    I am beginning to feel so so so stupid that I can't get the FlyInside Bell 206 to survive an engine failure / shutdown 😞 None of my sim autorotation techniques appears to make it work, at least to the level of the one in the bellow video.... I do not own the Cowansim version, which is based on the native MFS rotary wing flight dynamics, but I believe I would probably be able to do it there because I can successfully autorotate and land both the Cabri and the Bell 207 in MFS.

  19. Yes, they started with a few good ones including their best one LOWI (Innsbruck) and I am happy about that and few minor ones. What about Airports like KBVS Skagit? KJAC Jackson hole? KPSP Palm Springs? NSTU Pago Pago? to name a few. I would think, they would throw these out one by one real quick. Hmmmm...

  21. Are they having a laugh or what? Is this their idea of "Premium Deluxe"? Maybe there is something wrong with my installation so I am wondering if anyone esle is having this issue as it's utterly unusable. I have never seen such preposterous elevation issues. You couldn't get a tank around parts of this airport so nevermind a 737. The taxiways have huge drops that are near vertical and I DO mean HUGE drops. Only Evel Knievel could find use for what I'm seeing and even he would think twice. Are you guys seeing anything like this? Can you use your "Premium Deluxe" KDEN at all?

    Every time I move the mouse, the toolbar triangle at the top of the screen keeps appearing. The mouse pointer can be anywhere on screen, nowhere near the toolbar, but just by moving the mouse the triangle appears. It’s very distracting…especially when flying at night. Is there any way to stop this happening?

    Ford some reason there are some airports where Catering and Baggage are reversed. When arriving at the gate they are already switched from the normal position. Als the connection to the plane is reversed. For example see image at ENVA. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vnwxkilhfw813no/voorbeeld.PNG?dl=0

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone could help with these few minor issues I have come across with the Fenix. I fly it quite often and have noticed one or two small issues (it could be me screwing something up!) Discord: As most users will know the discord needs to be linked to your account, I am pretty sure I did that in the beginning when I first purchased it, this opens up extra owner only channels. I noticed that the chat seemed to have stopped in November, found a message from Aamir stating that the discord needed to be linked to your purchase in order to see the chat channels and to follow the link. I did that and got as far as the "Authorise Discord" b…
