    I am a newb as far as MSFS is concerned. Yesterday I started a flight and let MSFS pilot do the flying on a trip from KSBA to Chino. About half way through the flight I had to attend to other business so I paused MSFS. I was away from my PC for some time. When I returned the sim was still paused but it was dark outside. It appears that whilst the sim was paused the time of day marched on. Can anyone advise me on how to pause both the sim and time or is it a bug of MSFS?

  5. Our community took a direct hit from hurricane Ian. My boat showed a wind speed of 95-mph before the anemometer blew off the masthead. The local airport (KPGD) reported 139 mph steady one-minute wind readings before their instrument blew away. Comcast/XFINITY went offline Wednesday afternoon, September 28. Our electrical connection was down until late on Saturday October 1, and our water connection did not come back until Tuesday October 4. Our pool cage blew down, our boat was damaged, the food in the fridge and freezer spoiled, and a large commercial roof blew into our front yard from a 1/2 mile away - none of which was as annoying as not being able to fly in my…

    Hi, I would like to ask fellow simmers if they are seeing any Manathan buildings during ILS approach 22 at KLGA. I can’t see any apart one which must be a POI therefore appearing well before the others. I can see the buildings when on the ground though because I guess I entered the radius in short final maybe. I am running TLOD 100 with no photogrammetry. I would be glad if you let me know your experience at KLGA regarding this. Pierre in the radius

    MKStudios and RDPresets have both released their rendition of the Girona (Spain) airport... at the same day. Now that's a first in flight sim. Also pretty strange it happens with Girona, an small airport with max. 2 millions passengers that is almost exlusively used by Ryanair.

You can see an example ECAM here: (Please ignore the ECAM messages, the picture ist just for showcasing the two questions below) 1. The flaps indicator is always orange coloured even though the flaps are fully retracted. I couldnt find any information regarding this information. When does it turn green like or what is wrong so its orange here? 2. I am starting out of Cold & Dark state. But from the beginning on there is green data about N1 etc. available. In tutorials videos there are orange lines like there is no data availabl…

    I’m interested in the pros/cons of the Kodiak vs the Caravan EX. On one hand, it sounds like the Kodiak is a study level aircraft… but it also sounds like a real chore to trim/fly. On the other hand, the Caravan with mods is less sophisticated, but potentially less frustrating as a sight-seeing plane. I like realism, but I don’t want to be frustrated or so preoccupied with aviating that I don’t have a chance to enjoy the scenery. Thoughts on pros/cons for both of these for VFR sight-seeing duty? Note that cost is not so much a factor, but if it’s clear the Kodiak is not a good choice, I’d rather put the money into something else.

    https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_rtx_4090_founder_edition_review,21.html The real power of DLSS 3 can be seen in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Whereas DLSS 2 could not improve upon CPU-bound games in any meaningful way, the key component of the new version of DLSS 3, Frame Generation, is completely independent of any CPU bottleneck. As such, there is a massive 106% increase in average FPS and an even greater 115% improvement in minimum FPS over the DLSS 2 implementation.

    Since the latest update i get this error during loading when Thrustmasters TARGET Script is running. It runs just fine, showing Thrustmaster Combined in the compiler but then all of a sudden: Error:One of the selected USB devices (0) has been unplugged. Aborting script! This results in 2 separate Warthog controllers instead of one combined and then makes the controllers useless in MSFS. Only option is restart and hope for the best. I have been looking through the internet to find a solution because my first thought was a USB or controller hardware problem. Most of the solutions found point to the USB power management letting the device go to sleep but …

    I think I read that if an add-on scenery removes marshallers (or whatever you call those guys that guide you to a parking spot)., it removes them from all airports. Anyway I haven't seen any lately. Are they still around? I'm not sure how realistic this is for some GA planes, but I've flown into airports that do have them. Is there a way to get them back, or am I just not looking in the right place. I tried turning on taxi assistance and it took me to a parking spot but no marshaller.

    I just want to know, if each time I have to start the Fenix Airbus in cold and dark state, that I must turning on the lights on PFD and ECAM. The reason, I can't see the Self Test in all instruments (like ECAM.... etc) For example, In Toliss Airbus, I can start the simulation in Cold and Dark within the instrument light on (PFD, ECAM... etc) Is it possible to do that. Thanks for any aswer.

    American Falls, ID Freeware Available Soon with Custom Rendered Main Bldn As I was developing the Utah Enhanced addon, I realized there were a LOT of "failed AI" and blank airports in southern Idaho. I will be filling in a few of these airports which are unlikely to ever get fully developed due to them not being in popular spots. Pocatello and the larger airports are not going to be included because too big of a job, I am mostly filling in the smaller to medium sized ones. I have not yet picked the 2nd airport, as I also have to finish my Missoula payware, but American Falls will be ready by this weekend or SOONER. This will be done over time, t…

    Hello everyone! Like many of you, I have problems with the A320 fenix. For the Airbus TCA Quadran from Thustmaster The hardware and sofware quadran are not in phase. For the moment I use the default key association The only two things that are problematic : - the flap lever does not move at all -the left and right throttles. When they are in IDLE on the hardware, they are not in IDLE in the simulation. I know that there is a calibration to be done by the FMC but it only works if, before that, the hardware position = the software position. I have read many possible solutions. -Let the configuration operator of MS2020 or SPAD.NEX? …
