    Ever since the 3 gb update (11 beta I think) MSFS loads halfway through and crashes to desktop each time. Any suggestions? Edit: I tried renaming the community folder to take that out of the equation and it's still crashing.

    I've tried to load a flight plan using the World Menu and also loaded one using Little Nav Maps and neither one will load.Flying the Diamond DA62 with Garmin G1000Nxi. I had the same thing happen yesterday and couldn't get it to load. This morning everything was fine and I completed a couple of flights. But now it's not loading again. Tried IFR and VFR flight plans, also the Bonanza with the G1000Nxi. Anyone know why? Roy

    I decided to not be part of this beta right away after being in the U10. So I opted out and restarted computer per instructions and then when starting FS from Xbox app, it updated to the Beta 11 anyway. I flew a flight no problems at all with the new Cockspure C510. The next time I started FS it did a new install (actually went back to 10) and then nothing worked. When going to World Map it was pink and weird green yellow with no possibility to pick an aircraft or start a flight. So I quit, main menu worked OK. And I went back and opted in to U11 Beta. Install went fine and now everything is back to working well, so I will stay with beta. Did…

    I have finally switched over from FSX-SE to MSF 2021 and still trying to learn the differences. So far it has been an amazing change. I have run into some problems but from this forum many have been fixed. I just purchased FlyTampa’s Boston Logan (Simmarket) and installed. It appeared to install with no problem except in the “community” the date shown was 7/22 and not 10/14. In the Content Manager there are two Boston’s shown, one is by H2 air and one FlyTampa. Is this causing a problem? Should I delete the older? Appreciate any comments,

    I think this might be buried somewhere in the FSLTL thread so I apologize for the redundant ask. I currently use PSXT, AIG and the other thing that goes with PSXT (can't think of the name but it is for live traffic). I get very accurate AI injected to my sim. I can look at Flightradar24 and if a United plane is waiting to line up at SFO in real life, that is what I see in the sim. All of the planes seem to be at the right terminals and everything seems to be up to life. What would I gain if I started using FSLTL instead? I am confused as to what the main key differences are. Can someone explain? From what I saw of FSLTL, the planes weren't parked at the right term…

  13. Short and sweet. As I continue to learn and explore the fantastic Black Square B350, I find myself challenged managing certain aspect of VNAV, specifically descent. The Collins AP is very functional and performs exactly as expected. I do have one challenge. The AP has built in profiles for both climb and descent. In both cases the AP adjusts the speed of the aircraft to provide either maximum climb or descent performance, often exceeding 2500 FPM in ether direction. But what if I want to set a controlled decent of say 1000 FPM. As there is in most modern autopilots there is a VS function but the only way to set a VS speed of say 1000 FPM is to look down betw…

  14. You may want to try my little mod that adds active GTN flightplan data to the G3X display. Disable the WT GX mod if you have it installed and unzip this one into your Community folder. https://www.dropbox.com/s/smay665me20fnob/Garmin G3X mods v8.zip?dl=0 You will now get Waypoint, Bearing, ETE, etc information from the GTN on your PFD.

    Hi I've changed a long time ago the user but forgot how I did that. Now suddenly, after not using msfs2020 for many months anymore, it wants the old user login which I don't have anymore. I remember that it was a easy removal/change of the old login. Thanks for your help.

    Hey guys, since 2 days, I'm now the owner of MSFS. Since then, I'm also struggeling to download this game. The first 90 GB were no problem, I downloaded them while I was not home. I got launched in the game and set up my graphics settings. Then, I restarted the sim to make sure these are applied. When I was at the point of "Checking updates",the installation manager told me I had to download antoher 50GB. That was very annoying, but I tried to let him download it in the night. I woke up and yeah, the game launched once again. Since I wanted to test it, I quit the sim again and tried launching it - again, 50GB to download. It is downloading the fs-base-cgl files, I gu…

    What do you all think of these settings? I'm running an HP Omen Obelisk, 32 GB RAM, i7-8700, Nvidia RTX 2070 8GB. I'm getting around 40-50 fps with these. Just wondering if I'm overlooking anything or should tweak? Thanks!

  20. Just want to run this by anyone using ATC with SU11 Beta... I press the scroll key to actuate the ATC menu. I can use the keyboard to choose the menu options, but unable to use the mouse to choose any of the menu options. I did post this in MSFS 2020 beta forums here ATC Menu - Mouse does not interact - Sim Update 11 Beta / Aircraft & Systems - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums Can someone else give this a try and see if they have the same problem?

    Does anybody know what the device is at the post between the glareshield and lateral window in the A320 cockpit. On this device is a controllable knob and below that knob is an on/off switch. I cannot find a description of this device in the documentation and manuals on the A320. Thanks for shining some light on this matter.
