    Flying out North out of Los Angeles this morning in the Milviz C310 and I just had to share these little details that impress me in MSFS Realistic haze north of Tahachapi. I like that it is not uniform across the entire area. Trace Snow on the north facing side of this mountain. The fact that it is a trace amount and only on the north facing side just makes me happy.

  2. I don't understand why but after I changed some settings, I see both up close and far away, the mountains and terrain (as you can see from the photos posted below) in low quality. How can I fix it ? I am also willing to send my settings and/or any log files or CFG.txt https://imgur.com/a/wyvnw3U

  3. Does anyone know how to set the default zoom level for a particular aircraft? I am using the + and - keys but they are far too sensitive and zoom in/out way too much. I want to do it in much smaller and finer increments to dial them in more precisely. Is there a way I can copy my camera settings from another plane over to a new one so I don't have to redo all my custom views? I am talking specifically about the PMDG 737. I have custom cameras made for the 737-700 variant and would like to copy em over to the 900 variant. Does anyone know if this is possible and how I would do this?

    Today i started a new flight attempt with the PMDG738 newest Version 3.0.60 and the first thing i always look at ( with the PMDG 737XX series ) is the working of the 2D pop up panel ( from the outside view ) - and to tell you guys i was shocking surprised to see it works now 😇 - after such a long time perod I didn't believe it was going to happen, finally !! Now the fun to fly this bird is back for me and i am realy happy they fixed this annoying issue ( at least from my point of view ). A question, does the weather radar actually work on any way , anyone knows, i tried with this test but didn`t see any, but maybe i am doeing someting wrong here ? c…

  5. I know the FBWA320 has support for GSX but really hope to see other developers come onboard as well. The GSX integration with FSLabs planes was very well done in P3D and I really hope to see that kind of integration in planes like the Fenix A32x, PMDG planes, and all future airliners.

    Ive noticed since the release of MSFS that payware airports have slowly been creeping up in price to what we where paying in P3D. I know you have rising API and some off the payware airports are more detailed then ever before, but it seems they where cheaper in the early days of MSFS

    Currently I have a 3080ti and a Dell U3415W display. The native resolution on the display is 3440x1440. In the sim, I have always run the same resolution for full screen resolution and render scaling. In youtube videos, it seems like people usually use something less than their native display. Should i be doing what I am doing or is there a particular reason to use a resolution less than what is native? Wouldn't that mike things look not as crisp?

    Hi, I am using AIG manager for AI traffic but default cessnas are always appearing. I tried "isAirTraffic = 0" and no way. I tried "//model" and they just turned pink but still there. I tried AI slider to 0 but all AIs are gone. I tried to uninstall the aircraft but it is not possible. Is there a way to solve this issue?

  14. I am curious what types of hardware people wish existed. I personally am not a replica guy. I like to fly all the different aircraft. Having an eclectic mix of cockpit pieces scattered on my desk confuses me and while the mouse isn’t ideal being in the 3D cockpit and interacting with the switches and layout is more immersive. Plus I fly a lot in VR. However, some interactions are exhausting with the mouse. G1000 comes to mind. The rotating of AP knobs on the fly as well. I want a thoughtful versatile and simple autopilot or switch box that has the desktop and VR in mind. No one has push pull if I fly an airbus, which I could also use in VR bc one quic…

    Is there a decent Stansted airport available for this sim? I have been rooting around and am astonished that I can't find one. All the obscure airports released in places that no one has heard of and yet not a single one of Stansted? I must be missing it, surely? It's the UK's Second busiest airport these days. Ryanair fly 400 million billion flights a day out of there (adjust figures for hyperbole) I have tried one from flightsim.to that would be ok if not for the appaling and comical elevation issues it has. The aprons are unusuable as some of them have a nose down attitude of 45 degrees and no, that actually isn't hyperbole, it's the truth. The stopping point is d…

  16. Bumped into an announcement on Discord indicating the JPL Cessna 152 mod had received a huge update a couple of hours ago. Had I not been enjoying my Piaggio 149 and Bonanza Turbo so much, I would have given the 152 a go. Anyway, the mod has been highly-praised by many and some of you may want to check it out at https://flightsim.to/file/2246/jplogistics-c152-enhancement-mod Maybe the JPL Team will chime in for added details. Cheers, 2Low2Slow

    Saw an article on FSElite about Lunar Simulations (?) developing a freeware 767. Apparently it's been in the works for a few years. The photos looked decent, and it describes some of the systems depth. Interesting.

    I’ve watched a number of videos about settings for the T.Flight rudder pedals in MSFS. Some recommend leaving them on default, others have quite a few radical sensitivity settings where the curve is very shallow at first and then gets very steep very quickly. What would people here recommend? I’m also using them to steer the nose wheel (as I’ve been having issues with the thrust master side stick twist axis that I previously posted about). However on default sensitivity sometimes I fully deflect one way or the other and nothing happens. It only happens very sporadically generally when turning into the gate so it really messes parking up!). Thanks

    I have looked into a bunch of other posts about screen tearing, but none seem to have the issue I am having. From my experience with screen tearing, it happens all the time and across the entire screen. Mine is specifically on the top right corner of my monitor and occurs and random times. It may happen as soon as I fire up the sim, it may be months before I see it again. But its infuriating because not only is it disorienting to some degree, it blocks the landing lights and other such lights in the external view and certain angles. This happens with any aircraft and any time of day or night. SU10 Latest NVIDIA drivers Tested with sim VSYNC on, NVIDIA VSYNC off, …

    After the latest update, most of my pet peeves appear to be addressed.. which is lovely. 🙂 However, some niggly things remain.. - The GS indicator does not show on the HSI when the GNT750XI is on the testpage - The green ILS runway remains visible on the EADI after an ILS landing, even after an avionics off/on cycle. Please feel free to add to the list.. time to write to Carenado again..

    The Comanche 250 with our new Accu-Sim technology is finally the hands of our beta testers. Though beta testing has been underway for a bit, we're still busy working around the clock adding some exciting new features, so the beta process will still take some time to complete. I've been trying to think about what to say but the first post from one of our lead beta testers summed it up perfectly: guenseli wrote: "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??? Seriously guys, you teleported me into virtual reality directly into that Comanche! The textures, the vibrations, the sound, this thing is alive! The tablet is outstanding!

This is the only thing I cannot figure out. Thanks,

    Can someone tell me either in the sim settings or the Nvidia control panel, which setting makes the edges and lines shimmer and grainy? I am trying to fix this as it recently popped up after my settings went back to default somehow and I can't get things looking smooth again. Also, whatever changed, there is something in the upper left corner of my screen in blue that says "NIS". Not sure what that is Thanks!

  25. Can someone please explain to me why the fps shown in MSI afterburner is double the fps shown in MSFS developer mode? I suspect the developer fps is the correct one, so what is MSI showing? I do have 2 monitors, but even if I disconnect one, the MSI fps is still double the MSFS one. This is not a problem, but I’m just curious to know why this happens. Thanks
