    I'm hoping someone can offer some help with this as I am completely perplexed. For some reason, which remains a mystery to me, Misty Moorings, which I have just added to my Addon Linker, is not showing any sceneries at all. The main RTMM folder, which I unzipped after downloading and which includes all the relevent files has been added to a dedicated 'scenery folder' in Addon Linker, which includes all my other third party airports and sceneries. I have spent the best part of this evening trying to get the sceneries to show! Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

  7. After 2,5 years MS/ASOBO has still not any soultions for the following 4 issues: 1)The trees are still too green, too large and too many all aorund the world. 2) AI traffic is still almost as bad as in FSX 3) ATC is stll almost as bad as in FSX 4) Location settings of cockpit screens(PFD, MDF,CDU etc.) pop outs can't be saved and resused. Will these issues ever be fixed during the next 7,5 years of MSFS' lifespan?.

This is only the 1st step of the update, with a subsequent one featuring updated editing features for custom Deicing areas to come out later. GSX Pro Change: New color theme for the menu, with colors that should better integrate with non-default MSFS color themes, with a smaller font and several shortened texts, to take less space on screen without cutting out too much info. Some icons added in the menu entries, to better differentiate Runway Starts and Custom Deice areas. GSX …

    So, I've currently got static aircraft at airports set to 10 and IFR set to 170. I get a LOT of static aircraft at airports but not a huge amount of aircraft movement. Should I look at increasing the IFR number and reducing the number of static? Is it a balancing act between the parked and the IFR aircraft? I'd like to see more aircraft moving and flying.

    I noticed both "Mex High Flight" and "PerfectSoft" have created a version of GMMX. They cost about the same and since I don't know either developer I cannot device which version to purchase. Can anyone comment on which version offers the best rendition of the real airport?

    Hi Folks. A young friend of mine is complaining about slow movement of gauge display numbers. By that, I mean, when he is tuning frequencies he sees the previous LED segments still showing faintly as the numbers change. Also, his speed and altitude tape numbers get jumbled together as he climbs or descends. Today, I showed him how to update his Nvidia card driver. He was quite a few driver versions behind. He is on Windows 11 and using an Nvidia RTX3060Ti. I have not spoken with him since he updated the driver as we were running out of time. I seem to remember a while back that there was an issue with numbers and there was a fix for it. Does anyone remember if t…

    I've been flying this sim all over the world. But I've seen these recent months a degradation of the maps in forgotten (not by me) areas in Afghanistan, Peru, China today. The detailed maps have been replaced by swathes of the coarse off-line ground.

    Don’t know about everybody else in here, but I’ve had issues the last couple weekends where the live weather just stops injecting clouds, and precipitation. It calls for having to restart the sim for the live weather to start working again. There is a thread over at MSFS forum about this where many others are getting this as well. Please feel free to vote if you’re getting this as well. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/live-weather-stops-injecting-after-a-certain-duration-flown-certain-time-flown/476926/385

  22. Which is the best helicopter controller?, I fly them with a gamepad very well and precise but I am thinking to buy by first time a flight joystick like this,https://www.thrustmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/SF-gallery-T16000M-fcs-flight-pack-pc-1.png https://www.thrustmaster.com/en-gb/products/t-16000m-fcs-flight-pack/. I watch a collective and a joystick in the video attached to a chair, though I guess it is not for normal sales or at affordable price.

    Here is Chartres airport created by Roland_LFOR. Chartres Champhol aerodrome was completely redesigned in 2016 and 2017 after it almost disappeared. It was renamed on this occasion to Chartres-Métropole. Historically this is the location of the first air base in France built in 1909. https://www.simvol.org/en/downloads/airports/chartres

    Trying to map one of my Honeycomb Bravo switches to the Run/Stop buttons in the Longitude. I managed to map the starter 1 and starter 2 commands to get each engine spooling up to about 25% but I have to use the mouse to click the run buttons to actually get the engines running, I have tried the fuel control commands and engine master commands but neither seems to work. I had no pproblem with the CJ4 (WT Mod) but apparently the Longitude is a different beast. Anyone else able to accomplish the mapping to controls and, if so, what commands were used to get the engines up and running? Thanks!

  25. I've always had joystick button 34 on my Bravo Throttle Quadrant assigned to "Set Parking Brake." This allowed me to use the leftmost rocker switch to set/release the brake. It seems like my problem started after SU11. Now, the switch does nothing. I can see on-screen that the parking brake is set. If I try to release it with the mouse, it clicks and moves a bit, but remains set. This happens regardless of the position of the rocker switch. Any ideas on this?
