    There is a new video for this aircraft available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkqSCfhkIkg I really like what I have seen there, is there any information if FSS is going to publish a 175 version, too?

    For those of you that use the Throttletek A320 box, what are you using to mount it? I have a standard PC desk and a few desk mounts but I was seeing what everybody uses to keep it secure and in a good position. Thanks!

    iniBuilds EGLL has been my first purchase for MSFS. I bought through SimMarket but when I downloaded, the folder doesn't contain an installer or a readme on how to install. Instead in the main folder I have: inibuilds-airport-egll-london FILE FOLDER (that contains CGL, ContentInfo, MaterialLibs, scenery, SimObjects folders and layout.json and manifest.json) iniScene London Heathrow VDGS Installation Guide vdgs-inibuilds-egll Can anyone help? I was hoping MSFS installation of addons would be simple! Thanks, Ben

    Hello, when WU11 came out I found the photogrammetry in my hometown of Halifax to be pretty good, in contrast to some of the other Canadian cities. However, my last few flights within the past week or so have seen the quality greatly reduced to the point where I can no longer recognize individual buildings that I know in real life, they all look badly melted etc. Any thoughts / ideas of what cause cause the quality to decline so greatly? Is it perhaps an internet connection/bandwidth issue (I have a 350mbps connection) or more likely something server side? I run most settings at ultra and none of that has changed on my end. Thanks

    Hello, When running MSFS on a network, I assume 2 downloads/licenses will be required. Looking to convert my home cockpit to MSFS, while trying to estimate how much this will cost me. Can anyone enlighten me about installing and running 2 copies at the same time? I use WidevieW, and noticed they have a version for MSFS 2020. Thanks for any help.

    In my upgrading to the bigger jets looking for help with a problem On the A320 FBW - and probably others in the airbus fleet - I have found that if I want to use VNAV etc - it is called "Managed' - or 'Selected' - for general autopilot use and to select either of these requires a Push/Pull effort on the mouse - and also - the reset of baro and headings Unfortunately - my mouse doesn't seem to adopt the characteristics that will carry this out - ie the up and down pointer - just the hand My mouse is a tLogitech gaming mouse (G603) with 4 buttons and a center disc and I cannot find anything on the control set ups - in either my mouse or Honeycomb A and…

    Greetings, I have a problem with the TDS GTNxi making me crazy, I have it installed and seems to be working properly and starts when MSFS starts but I cannot get it to work in any of the compatible aircraft. I started with the Milviz 310. The bezels appear and the screens are black. and the home and direct button are illuminated green but other than that, nothing. The bezels appear with black screen in the 414 and the home and direct buttons are not illuminated. With the just flight arrows, The TDS does not even appear as an avionics option. I.ve spent several hours now trouble shooting focusing on one aircraft the Milviz 310. The community folder is clean…

    Hi, I have installed a bunch of aircraft with AIG. I just don't manage how to disable to AI Traffic within MSFS, since I use VATSIM. Under Options-Traffic, I have set AI Traffic and Multiplayer to off. Withi the AI Traffic Conroller, I have set activity level on "injection" to 0% and deleted traffic. Am I missing something, or why do I still get traffic within the sim when offline on vatsim? Thanks in advance

    I've noticed that on almost every landing when idle the thrust on landing (generally around the retard callout give or take), I hear the ding of the A/T going off. I never had this happen before or i have never heard it on a real A320 landing video. What am I doing to cause that to happen? Or is it normal and I just never noticed it somehow?

  19. I am a long term user of P3D and have spent a lot of time on money on aircraft and scenery add ons. I primarily fly FsLabs A319/20/21 and PMDG 777. But for a while I've been wanting to make the move to the "new sim" and I thought I'd take the plunge this weekend and try MSFS for the first time. What a totally awful experience. Here's how it went... - An absolute nightmare trying to get AIG AI to appear in MSFS. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I've configired both the AIG manager and AIG traffic properly but it seems to be completely random whether or not traffic decides to appear. I started by flight at EGLL and it was empty, despite adding most of the AIG …

    Excuse me for a rather word not allowed question. I am running a boxed edition of MSFS purchased in 2020. If I install this on a new computer will the simulator software update it to the most recent update? In other words will I get a "updates available" message when I first run it?

  25. Occasionally - the Flight Planner will allow me to specify Departure and Arrival and clicking on any waypoint or other navaid results in the ADD option but the waypoint does NOT get added. This happens in VOR, GPS, IFR routes. At other times the add function does not work and I also cannot move the map. The direct route shows and zooming in/out works and the navaids show but I cannot ADD and cannot move the display. This happens with an empty Community folder and in both Full and Windowed mode. The non-moving map only occurs AFTER I specify a Departure and Arrival airport. I can always move the map if no route info is specified. Today I had the problem wi…
