With the modelling of geopotential height variation I believe I read somewhere in the forums that users of the VATSIM and IVAO networks were facing some problems with discrepancies of aircraft position injected on those networks, but after an initial rumour I never saw this mentioned again? Have the MFS VATSIM/IVAO clients suffered some adaptation for the new, more complexand complete, weather model being used in MFS 2020?

I started the flight from KMCO (Orlando Intl Airport) to KMIA (Miami Intl Airport).... and I requested the ATIS information so I can load the correct takeoff information into the PMDGs FMC. Once completed, I call up the tower and requested takeoff for south departure. The ATIS and the tower runway for take off was correct, however every multiplayer in the session was taking off from the opposite end of the runway! So my question is MSFS weather information is correct? I am more inclined to say yes because I use Navigraph Charts and it pulls the METAR information from a real world source. The heading from Navigraph METAR and MSFS 2020 ATIS is off by about 2 degrees, so…

Is there any documentation anywhere for the systems of the default aircrafts that come with the MSFS Premium Deluxe version of the product or is it trail-and-error ?

Hi In comparison with other addon aircraft, I find the A310 rudder action a bit too sensitive on ground. Trying to keep centreline on take-off or landing is difficult, as the action seems too sensitive and twitchy for precise control. The Fenix and the PMDG, with the same exact default sensitivity settings, are way easier and more precise to control, even in stronger crosswinds. I have been doing some testing with different sensitivity and reactivity settings, but without great success so far. Is anyone else facing the same issue? If so, can you share any sensitivity / reactivity settings for rudder pedals that you feel have helped? Cheers

I decided to buy the Honda Jet through the Marketplace. Because I have the Steam version, it redirected me to steam for the add-on purchase. I added funds to my wallet first, then applied them to buy the add-on. I got an error when it redirected me back to the sim to do the download. I went back to Steam to try again. It had no funds in my wallet, so I did it again. The second time it worked. It turns out something went wrong with MSFS Marketplace, and I got charged twice for the purchase. So I contact Steam. They tell me that they can see that both wallet amounts were used. I try to purchase another add-on in the Marketplace, but I have no wallet funds. So somehow the MS…

Trying to land at GJA (Guanaja) in the DHC-2 but somehow the aircraft gets stuck at 274ft. First I thought I was too fast so I did a go-around but then I couldn't climb higher too! Autopilot is off, tried to climb with autopilot but that didn't work either. I even cut the engine but the aircraft didn't move an inch below or above 274ft. It did stall however and started a spin, while being stuck at the same altitude. Finally I got the "overstressed" warning which ended the flight. Has anyone experienced something similar? (using the AAU beta)

I've recently started to get into the helicopter side of MSFS. Until now, I've been happy with Honeycomb Alpha, Bravo, and Thrustmaster TPR pedals for GA & commercial flying. What would the forum suggest as controller(s) to buy for helicopters - if looking for a similar quality/price point to what I already have? Grateful for any thoughts!

While in Florida I did two sailplane lessons in a Grob G103. The instructor was extremely impressed at my flying as much so that on the second flight I did the complete flight including the takeoff and landing. That is with one exception. In the tow I kept getting inside on the turns behind the tow plane and needed his help in correcting. I'm a just over 100 hour PPL but 25+ year simmer and have used the gliders in FSX/P3D and Aerofly FS where I got proficient with sailplanes but none of those platforms offer a towplane that turns. So I was extremely happy that on the rollout of sailplanes in MSFS so much attention to detail was part of the initial release. This includes …

This sim continues to amaze me. The fog depiction is absolutely perfect. Ridiculously accurate RVR depictions, volumetric lighting effects, flawless autolanding from the FENIX and PMDG. I'm just blown away, since it has been a struggle to get this sim in a state where this was possible. In comparison, X-Plane 11 used to have great low weather, HOWEVER at night you could see the lights through the fog (bug) like 20 miles out, and they refused to do anything about it. Not so in MSFS. NO weird light glitches, just pure IMC to minimums. I'm so pleased!
