    Hi, from time to time a get random failures with the fenix, even though I have deactivated them. Why is that and how can I clear the failure if one happened while en route?

    Hi I have started using the Maddog quite a bit recently, but have come across a strange issue. I had a great flight last night from EGPH-LIRA with no issue's setting up, and flying the route. But today i cannot for the life of me get the GPU to start when selecting it in the menu. I have checked all the settings in the app, and unless i am missing something blindingly obvious, i am at a loss. Any advice appreciated.

    Yesterday, I had an error message that appeared when starting MSFS: "This app can't open". Nothing seemed to work to get it to run. I wanted to move MSFS in any event so I thought this would be a good time to do it. I was able to uninstall it; however, it would not re-install. Nothing seemed to work from the MS Store. I found this recommendation on the tenforum.com. Once I followed the instructions to use Powershell , I was able to re-install MSFS: Reinstall and Re-register Apps in Windows 10 | Tutorials (tenforums.com) I don't know if this has been posted before. If it has, I'm sorry. I hope that it's useful to those who encounter a similar problem. …

    My displays in the fenix are still unsharp after the last sim update. I haven't been having much time for flghtsimming lately, has there been a fix out yet? What are the best settings at the moment, I am using a i9-10850k and RTX 3090. Which settings should I use for best performance and quality?

    Hi everyone, I am mostly flying airliners and I start to be out of space on my C drive, with less than 30GB free I noticed the performance started to decrease, so I was searching what to delete. The WU are the biggest files but I wonder if I delete let's say Japan, I will lose handmade airports and POIs but will I continue to have the updated mesh, satellite photos and photogrametry cities? Thanks

    Hi, are many of you getting finally good frames? WOW! I just tried it and its horrendous still. I do lock my frames at 30 and tested the PMDG, Fenix, FBW Neo and all never dropped 30..I can unlock and the frames would sit around low 40s and sometimes mid 50s at KSAN (Latin VFR KSAN). Then I try the A310 with the latest update from the marketplace and 20, then maybe 25 out side is a slideshow 15, then 20ish....come on!...Hope there is better optimization with this plane cause I defiantly want to fly it but the immersion is ruined by lower frames.

    Ive noticed in the past 3-4 days that all controls are freezing, (I have Saitek Joystick and Throttle Quadrant, GF-LGT11 and FSinsight Airbus FMCU all connected by USB, Mouse and Keyboard by Bluetooth) The controls frezze for about 20-30 seconds then are OK, but, sadly it seems to happen prior to takeoff whilst Taxiing or on approach. The SIM carries on regardless using the current settings. Using the mouse to control throttles works, but, am unable to land using mouse. Anyone any ideas what mau cause this. I am using FBW A320 Stable Version

    My favorite warbird has been the Spit by Flying Iron. And still is. But this P-40F has the best sounds in MSFS and excellent graphics. The switches, fuses, vintage radios don't all work but inibuilds tends to improve systems in their planes as time goes on. The handling is easier than any other MSFS warbird on the ground and in the air. It was easy to fly in real life too and had very strong armor all around. It could out maneuver and out turn a Mustang or just about any other Allied fighter in a dogfight until maybe the F6F came along late in the war. But nothing was as nimble as a Japanese Zero. It's only $19. A steal. Simmarket for instance.

    ...Control assignments. Namely the throttle/collective assignments. (Cyclic and rudder not a problem) Please tell me I'm not alone having trouble with that aspect of helicopters. I have the Asobo offerings and the Hype H135, H145 + the action pack. Item 1. The Cabri. I can assign a Helicopter throttle axis AND a collective axis. Perfect! (If you haven't tried it you're missing a degree of control not offered by a combined axis. i.e throttle) Item 2 The 407 won't play with that setup. It insists on throttle axis Item 3 The Hypes don't have, as far as I can discover, a separate throttle and collective axis. Just the throttle multitasking. These are very …

    Just a little note for anyone else that has this issue. I use the FBW installer for FSLTL. Today I got a FBW installer update. After the update it showed ready to install for my FSLTL base and injector packages, but the version numbers were the same. It turns out that the FBW installer update reset my install path to the default (community folder) and I had previously set a different install path to use with MSFS Addon Linker. After I went into the FBW Installer settings and reset that path to the one I had used, all was good and the FBW installer recognized my already installed FSLTL.

    I recently switched from P3Dv5 to MSFS2020. I let it use the default location. I installed FSLTL and it was working fine but I was having issues with my Prosim737 aircraft. It wouldn't let me install new liveries telling me "Your organization will not let you put files in this location". After trying for a couple of days to find a solution I uninstalled MSFS and reinstalled it on my M2 ssd which was really where I wanted it in the first place. I installed FSLTL but when I click on Start no traffic will appear. I went on their Discord forum and have tried to get help with this but when I click on Post I get an error message that says "Something went wrong, Try again.…

  22. Reading the forums, it seems more than a few are loving SU11 without issue. I can't get through a flight without a CTD using FBW's/Fenix's A320s, the modded Cessna Longitude, and any other bird for that matter if I use any portion of the default ATC system. I once thought the problem was linked to the default flight planner. Now I see it's not as the A320's I barely use the default planner. All plans are done via SimBrief. I'm just confused at this point because the winds are moving with requests to fix the A310 as if that's the only problem with SU11. As far as I can see the core sim is hosed now. Maybe there's no need to beat a dead horse in this forum as we've al…

  23. Hello all. I have installed several liveries for my Baron G58, however most of them use the WT G1000 but a few of them use the 'vanilla' G1000. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I'm thinking there might be a line of config text somewhere that links the texture to the model and it's not quite right, I'll keep diving through but any help would be appreciated. Thanks, H
