    It's been a nice plane to use and I have a lot of flights in it but it's gone downhill recently apparently. Do we have any other options now or in the pipeline? I know PMDG 777 is way out there but anything else? I use A Pilot's Life and have one heavy, the PMDG 738 and AS CRJ700 but recently the B78X has become more trouble than it's worth. Cheers

    Hi all A question before I wast time. I got board and felt like revisiting IL2 for a few combat missions. Its been years since I used any flight sim but MSFS2020 and I have the honeycomb Alpha and Bravo set up perfectly for MSFS2020. However I disconnected my honeycomb kit and reconnected my CH HOTAS kit to have a go at IL2. I desperately don’t want to loose all my honeycomb kit settings in MSFS 2020 (configuring flight controls is one thing I find frustrating in MSFS2020). So, if I load MSFS 2020 with my CH HOTAS kit attached to the PC in the short term, will MSFS2020 be clever enough to remember my Honeycomb set up when I I disconnect the CH HOTAS kit an…

  8. So i've ran through the tutorials in this great video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAVicVzF0Po However, when i'm in a jet or even 2 engine with reverser levers, it seems if i flick the reverser back, its either delayed or doesnt react in the sim or in the sim it goes nuts, the throttle will move upward suddenly in the sim and the lever is flickering back and forth. Per the video i'm using "throttle decrease" for the lever and throttle cut for going backward to the detend. Has anyone ran into this situation?

    So I’m flying my Black Square King Air over the central US right now. Target altitude was/is 31,000. Dialed in the ALTITUDE SET at 31,000 and the aircraft is currently level at what appears to be 31,000 except for the fact my GPS and my ForeFligt tracking report me at 28,000. I’ve checked for failures and made sure pitot heat is active (both) but the 3,000 discrepancy remains. Any ideas and Merry Christmas to all! -B PS. Altimeter is set and checked at 29.92

    Some feedback from users on this product would be welcome. The more honest the better. Let's face it, default airports are a mess and will remain that way until we get that way for users to update and submit them. I'm tired of having taxiway signs in the middle of taxiways along with lights in stupid places but my biggest annoyance is missing signs, signs with nonsense gibberish on them and taxiway and gate designations that have no resemblance to the charts and reality at all. Now that I have just bought the PMDG 737 so I can get back to my bread and butter heavy metal flying and having dumped P3D for good this inaccuracy is going to be my single largest annoyance i…

    Can someone tell me how you update Flow? When I start MSFS it says Flow has an update and go to where you bought it to update. I bought it at Orbix but when I go there it doesn't show an update. I've uninstalled it and re-installed and it still says there's an update available. Don't know what to do? Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys and Merry Christmas to all! 🙂

    Using A320NX with MSFS I get an invisible airframe/cockpit. I searched fro this problem on this site and found a smattering of Questions mentioning the problem but no "how to fix it". Everthing works fine with other aircraft I tried so I am at a loss. I uninstalled A320NX and reinstalled - same problem.

    I am having a problem with the Garmin panels on the main cockpit panel of all aircraft. Every time I start the sim with ANY aircraft, the Garmin panels have this message on them with OK blinking on and off. I click everywhere and cannot make it go away, so the Garmin panels are useless, and I cannot enter any radio frequencies into any radio. Message reads: Basemap Land Database Via MSFS Terran Database Via MSFS Airport Database Via MSFS Airport Database MSFS Aviation Database via MSFS And "OK?" is blinking in the lower corner of the message. When I put my curser on the OK?, it turns into a hand and I click on it but nothing changes. …
