    Hello, I come to you with a problem about my purchase of this airplane from simworks website. I bought this airplane from their website in 27.12.2022. I used paypal as payment method. Money have been taken from my bank account, but I can’t download the addon from their website. My order appear as still in processing. I opened a ticket on thier support platform and i sent a mail to them but I didn’t received a response until today. Is someone who had this problem? Do you have any suggestion? Thank you in advance.

    Hi, whenever im on a VFR flight plan i get strange "vector to next waypoint" if i ask the ATC about it (all aircraft, default ATC) For example im in GPS NAV made, no wind and Heading is 260°, i go basically straight to my next waypoint. Now when i ask the ATC about "vectors to next waypoint" i would think the answer would be "continue on current heading 260° to STG" for example But what i always get is something like this "turn left heading 240° towards STG and continue as planed"...the heading they tell me is always 10-30° off from what i would expect. Why? Is the ATC just having this issue in MSFS or do I dont understand how it is …

  3. Just spend an hour or so clicking on every single landing challenge, bush flight and exclamation mark on the map and still the interface shows NEW everywhere. This is really pissing me off. When I go back to the landing challenges (never do them) and bush flights (never do them) none of them has the NEW label on it but they still show NEW on the home menu. And the map just seems to come up with new exclamation marks every time I zoom in somewhere else. And it also still shows NEW on the home menu. How can I get rid of that NEW label EVERYWHERE??? And how can I can rid of all those terribly annoying exclamation marks??? These things should disappear automati…

    What is the purpose of Addon Linker that everyone raves about? Is it just to reduce loading times by a bit? I just can't see what the big deal is because you must have to spend time fiddling with it every time you want to fly in a different region?

  5. I have not flown this Seneca V model in months due to the original ugly issues with the ILS. That seems to be working now after a few MSFS updates. I cannot get the weather radar to work: the radar is on but does not show anything even if I am flying in bad weather. I can't remember if Asobo is still working on implementing the weather radar functionality... was this fixed by Asobo? thanks.

    Recently, I have noticed (and I guess this started 'again' with SU10) that the terrain loads in tiles as you fly close to the ground. Below are 2 videos from another poster showing the issue. I have also posted the bug thread on the MS site. Has anyone else seen this or know of a solution? Note that turning off addons, reinstall, and clearing video cache do not help as others have reported on the thread that I started on the MS site.

    I´ve bought the Hype Perfomance H145 and I’m probably missing something here, because when I perform a turn, the helicopter straightens itself up as if there´s a automatic trim or something similar activated. Any suggestion of how I turn this behavior off? I also find the helicopter way easier to fly then the default Bell. It that really a realistic FM for the H145? All assistance in the assistance options in MFSF 2020 is turned off. Is there a setting in the helicopter that I´ve missed? Kindly regards Morgan

    Happy New Year everyone! Good news for you 767 fans: https://fselite.net/content/bluebird-simulations-teases-boeing-767-for-msfs/ Personally, I'm a bit fed up with relentless teasers and previews of aircraft that are a long way from release. That said, it is good news that a once very common airliner in the real world will be making its arrival 🤞 in MSFS at some point.

  10. I have and love the Fenix A320 and its often my favorite airplane. It takes a while to master the complex systems but its actually a really nice plane to fly when you master its wizardry. The problems I have with the Fenix A320 may not really be a problem with the plane but more so a bug/issue with MSFS and somehow it breaks the A320. Twice now flying over the central US I hit some very violent wind shifts MSFS is sometimes unfortunately known for. These wind shifts are so violent its like hitting a wall in the sky and the plane will violently pitch upward. When this happens the AP automatically switches off and you get the Master Warning and Master Caution going off…

    Just recently started messing around with FSeconomy, and having a lot of fun. Does anyone know if it's possible to fly the Turbo Arrow, or is the normally aspirated Arrow the only one compatible at the moment? When I load up in the Turbo it doesn't recognize the aircraft, so I'm assuming it's not possible to use right now.

    Today, I started my flight with the - superb - (FSW) Cessna 414 on the tarmac of Kobe (RJBE) at 17.00 local time. Next to me were two (AIG) aircraft one B737 and one A320, two more aircraft were on approach to runway 9. When I started to taxi, I could spot five (GAIST v3) ships gliding next to the airport island (Kobe airport is - like Osaka - built on an artificial island), three huge container ships, one cargo and one tanker, more could be seen in the distance. Having taken off, I turned right to my destination heading to Takamatsu, the sun was slowly setting down, glaring straight in my eyes, I lowered the sun screen and all was fine. ATC was busy talking to…

  13. Hi, I am using FSiPanel to practice landings in both the PMDG 737-800 and Fenix A320. I usually select an airport and runway with ILS and start from a RH or LH base position. When the Fenix A320 captures the glideslope, it banks once and lines up the runway - which is what I would expect. What I have noticed with the PMDG 737-800 at a number of different airports - is that when it captures the glideslope, it banks once then levels up before being in line with the runway - banks a second time and levels up when in line with the runway. So, what I am experiencing is that the Fenix A320 lines up with the runway in one smooth bank when it captures the glid…

And in keeping with such hallowed names, Foozle Aerospace is proud to bring you the next installment of NorCal airfield improvements: O28 Willits Municipal Airport, aka Ells Field. Located in Mendocino County just northwest of Willits CA on a small mountain with an elevation of 2,063 feet, this is where a young 14-year-old Stoopy received his first few crucial hours of instruction in a Cessna 152, N6266T. The single 2,995-foot asphalt runway overlooks the valley, thus providing visually enticing arrivals and departures. …

    I have been using a 43" 4K monitor for some years now and all in all I have been fairly happy, especially with the quality of the image. However, since the introduction of multi monitor support in MSFS I really would like to rebuild my cockpit around 3x 32" monitors. I don't have the room for 3 x 43" 4K monitors and to be frank, I really don't think it's a practical proposition from a performance perspective. The other consideration is image quality, I don't want to run 3 x 1080p monitors and give up the quality that I have come to enjoy with the 4K monitor, so the compromise would be to run 3 x 32" 2K monitors. This setup from a practical and space persepctive would fit …

    Adjusting the Sim rate with "R" and "Ctrl + / -" never worked for me so I was looking for a different approach. Since I didn't want to assign different keys/buttons I was hoping to find a little tool that does everything in the UI. Went to flightsim.to and found "Sim Rate Selector" from "mike2": https://flightsim.to/file/45543/sim-rate-selector Couldn't be happier, does all I want.

    Hi I am using the default Cessna Caravan a lot but have found that it appears to have too much lift. With the flaps set, when it reaches 75 knots on the runway it lifts off the ground without any movement on the elevator. Is this how it should work? But as soon as I remove the flaps it begins to plummet until you quickly pull the elevator or do some rapid changes with the trim. Im no expert but is this how it should react?

  19. Hi, I am new to MSFS, just got it installed maybe a week ago. I have years of simming on FSX and X-plane 11. I quickly realized that most of my settings (especially controller settings) and the progress are not being saved. After a long investigation and sending a ticket to MSFS support it became clear to me that Steam (or MSFS) doesn't create a folder 1250410 in Steam\userdata. Apparently there some of the setting are supposed to be stored (apparently they are related to cloud storage). I did file integrity check through steam, but that folder wasn't re-created. Also re-install didn't help. I can play the game, but I cannot save most of the settings, nor any …

    Hi there I am having good performance with my 10850k and 3080 but when it comes to landing ( fenix a320 ) I get a stutter / lag spike as soon as the wheels touchdown. Sometimes it recovers and then another quick stutter follows. I don't have anything else running in the background ( fsrealistic etc.. ) And i have tried various setting changes and a tip on the MS forums by disabling touchdown effect files, However nothing seems to of fixed it. Is anyone else currently having this issue? Or does anyone know of anything i could try that i have not yet. Thank you!

  22. Flying the newly updated Hjet and being amazed at the precision of its automated systems, especially its VNAV. Video is about 9 minutes in length, We enter the soup at about the five-minute mark. Make visual with the runway at about eight minutes and yes...I'm sure I busted minima. As an aside, I clearly have difficulty keeping centerline during rollout. Not normally a challenge. Well, you know what they say. Practice, practice and PRACTICE LoL!
