    My Question is at controlled at around 220 kts when I extend flaps to slow down the aircraft, I get a warning ribbon to the right of the Airspeed indicator. I am under the assumption that flaps should decrease the speed of plane not increase it. Does anyone have an explanation?

    Just watched the trailer video for X-Plane 12 and it sure seems to have a lot of good stuff. Asobo will have to stay on their toes.

    As reported in FSELITE and posted on the Majestic forums: "MSFS 2020: Flight Simulator 2020 has certainly made considerable strides over the last two years and the team has been feverishly working on updates making the platform more accessible for development. Q400: Folks frequently interject we used the SDK as an excuse for bringing the Q400 into MSFS and at the time of its initial release that was very much the case for us to be able to implement porting the Q400 over to MSFS. As each update is pushed by Asobo's team many things are improved thus allowing for progress. There are still a few things that we require which I am sure will be eventually addresse…

    I recently upgraded my GPU from a GTX 1070 to an RTX 3090Ti, the difference in performance as well as being able to raise my settings mostly to ultra really brought a whole new level to MSFS. However - yesterday everything changed. I purchased a Samsung LS28AG700NUXXU monitor which is 4K Gsync, the visual quality increased significantly. MSFS just looks stunning! in 4K. Having Gsync also gave me a smoother experience. Sitting on the active at Orbx Burbank V2 with a full overcast with rain (clouds set to Ultra) I am seeing a minimum of 36fps and a max of 41 in the PMDG 737-800. Just wow! Anyone who hasn't upgraded to 4K yet...just do it, trust me!

    Not sure what to do with this. I generally fly the FBW A320 but as I only enjoy the flying bit (not the flight planning bit) so I use the earlier 0.7.5 stable version. Anyway, whether I use the FBW or Asobo's A320 I get no response when I click on the f-pln button on the MCDU All other buttons work but no this one. It doesn't affect the game/flying but I wondered whether anyone else has had this.

    Here is Yenne airfield (LF7351) created by Emmanuel Richer. This small ULM platform is unknown to MSFS2020. However, this aerodrome and its owner were major players from the beginning of the ULM movement. As this aerodrome is unknown, I found it interesting to let you find it and reach it by doing small aerial navigations above very beautiful landscapes. For those in a hurry, the Yenne aerodrome is quickly reached from Belley or Lavours. Runway 11/29 in Yenne is 400 m long and 25 wide. https://www.simvol.org/en/downloads/airports/yenne

  13. I'm not sure if I just missed something, or maybe I'm a little paranoid lol! Has anyone noticed issues with live weather in MSFS? I fly GA, and often fly between 6 and 15000 feet. I've noticed that the barometer settings given by the AI ATC don't match what I'm seeing in METAR from flightaware. Is this a known issue from the last update? Regards

    I'm after help with my Saitek panels, radio, FIP, autopilot and switch panel. They all stopped working after updating to SU10. I'm looking at going down the SPAD route, can any advise how I would uninstall the Saitek driver for the panels please? Any other advice on using SPAD with MSFS would be greatly appreciated. LP

    Hi Folks, As you can see from my signature, I am lagging a bit on cutting edge hardware to say the least. However I am finding the glut of information on MSFS systems to be a little overwhelming. At my age, my friend who used to advise me has passed away I was hoping I could get your thoughts. I am not worried (too much) on cost, future proofing, max FPS, system temps, latest products, ect. So I figured I would ask my question from a different angle so to speak. I cant really build my own so I will likely go to something like https://xforcepc.com/ Question: moving up the hardware ladder from my current system, at what CPU, GPU, RAM combination point do you …

  19. Good morning, The following is mentioned in the release notes: * Added an optional settings to camera.cfg files allowing to change the distance between the external camera and the plane Does anyone know how to use this, please? What is the syntax? And in which portion of cameras.cfg to place it? This is a highly anticipated option which allows to change the distance and resume normal zoom levels when viewing the plane and world from a larger distance avoiding the distorted view with high zoom out factor. E.g. like this: Or this... Thank you, David

Recently the aircraft image has been 'Freezing" on the LNM flight plan track, & staying frozen, shortly after departure & possibly when I have been doing AP settings post departure. Anyone else experiencing this? I have the latest version of LNM. T45

    Hello, I would like to use AIG models in conjunction with MSFS genuine Live Traffic. Actually it works very well now, after SU11, however I'm still seeing "mismatches" where default AI planes are being assigned to valid flights, even though required AI model is present in the sim. With this being said, I'd like to get rid of MS/Asobo AI planes completely. I'd rather have mismatched flight disappeared from the sim completely, than seeing generic AI. Would appreciate your help

  22. I don't check in here nearly as often as I used to due to life changes, but it is interesting to occasionally catch up. What are your thoughts on why we still do not have many regional aircraft here two years into this new sim? No Dash 8, No Saab 340, no CRJ-200, no EMB 145, no Beechcraft-1900? I find myself still reverting back to X-Plane and P3D just to enjoy the regional aircraft that are missing. If the CRJ-200 were dead, one certainly wouldn't know it flying out of smaller Southeast airports.

    Last few flights I have arrived at airports not to have the terminals show. One airport, KSFO, the terminals/buildings didn't show until I got to the gate. Also, I am seeing many buildings graphics showing fully only when I am close distance to them. My settings are ultra with super fast connection and 64gb RAM so not rig issue. Any thoughts on problem?
