  2. Heya! Anyone who has tried out the new Incheon scenery with regards to the AI-traffic? Does the traffic land and take off as it should? Is there any designated stands for cargo / airlines as it would be in real life? Im looking at purchase it, but I want the AI-traffic to be functional before I do. Thank you in advance!

    Dave @everyone my beautiful people of the Fenix discord, it is with great pleasure after waaaaaaaaaaay too long, I can announce the update is out, changelog should come through the app soon, I won't post it here for now as it's far too long. Now I await to see if I broke the plane worse than the microwave... Seriously though - this took longer than it should have, and we're making some big changes internally to avoid these sort of long periods of not-a-lot again. Thanks for sticking with us everyone, we'll keep trying our hardest even if it's not perfect! We'll be back soon with more information about what's coming next...

    Have failures set to none, fuel to unlimited. Try to take off and keep getting electrical failures and then mysteriously run out of fuel 3 minutes into the flight when I had more than half a tank. Maybe I should try reinstalling, anyone else have any suggestions? BTW, it doesn't seem to happen ALL the time, just most of the time. Very annoying because cannot complete a flight with it anymore with any certainty.

    It's so dark in the cockpits I can't read the gauges. Is there a way to brighten it up, or is this a bug. The screenshots it the opening boot up show all these bright cockpits. Mine is no where near that. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Roy

  6. Something strange is happening.. I wonder if you recognize it.. Carenado airplanes with the autopilot in GPS mode, appear stuck in some way, where I cannot select HDG or ALT on the autopilot, until I switch the GPS into VLOC mode, which frees it up. I first saw this in the PC12, now I see it in the V35... I believe this is new with SU10. Have you seen anything like this?

    Hello, I need your advise according, I have a 49 inches as my main monitor and 2 27 inches on each side. While I press with the mouse on either left or right monitor the main monitor is flashing instantly. The same flash while I press the mouse back on the main monitor. Each monitor by the way works individually. Any advise please?

    I know I read in this forum about someone who moved the world update folders to his addons link folder so that he only activated the ones relevent to what he was doing at the time. I really like that idea but I can't figure out where the folders for the world updates are. Can anyone help?

    I have an odd development in my stock installtion of msf2020. I'm not sure how long this has been going on, but today I started msf2020, loaded up a simple 152 and went flying. I noticed that my trim buttons on the joystick weren't working. Paused the sim and go to control assignments and where the joystick image with the control buttons numbered used to be, now there's just a black and white question mark. Stopped and started the computer up and restarted msf2020 with the same thing. So...here's the question. I just recently installed Xplane 12. The control assignments in that sim work fine. Has Xplane 12 somehow hijacked or corrupted msf2020 joystick profile/as…

  11. In my aircraft with the PMS50 750 installed (C310, PC-12) the gauge is dead. Hovering over the GTN icon at the top brings up the GTN window with the message "Power is off" The aircraft is on and fully powered. First time I've had this problem and error. Haven't changed any settings. Haven't changed anything from one flight to the next.

  13. For those that have checked out the experimental triple monitor functionality in SU10 beta, what are your thoughts? I'm keen to try it, but I'm waiting until the final SU10 release in August (had a bad experience with SU9 beta, so I'm content to wait).

    Working on enhancing the entire state of Utah + part of Southern Idaho in this new freeware package. Note: Created a new thread because the old thread got too busy and hoping the Mods will delete the old thread... The addon is available here: https://flightsim.to/file/40907/northern-utah-enhanced-early-access-alpha The current version as of 9-27-2022 has a lot of issues, but a new version is coming soon.

  15. Don't get rid of your 1.1.7 installer, The new 2.0.0 version might not be likable. I on the other hand, deleted the old installer. Now I wish I still had it.

  16. Just Flight have just the Black Square dev team are creating a series of Steam Gauge Overhauls for stock MSFS planes. https://www.justflight.com/articles/black-square-steam-gauge-overhaul-series-in-development The first two are the C208 Caravan and the King Air 350 and not only include replacing the G1000 display with steam gauges (with options for not just the Usual PMS and TDS GTN750s but also a custom and complete implementation of the KNS-80 RNAV Navigation Computer) but also "small aerodynamic improvements" ,updating the engine dynamics and overhauling the electrical systems to make all controls and CBs functional. These aren't going to be cheap, £22 for th…

  17. Simulated pilots young and old who find themselves aviating in the airspace of Northern California may be delighted to know that the next phase of NorCal airport improvements is now available. The dedicated - if arguably misguided - staff of Foozle Aerospace have lovingly crafted a facsimile of O09, Round Valley Airport. Nestled alongside Big Rock Creek within the beautiful and aptly-named Round Valley, O09 is a convenient 1.5 miles West of the bustling metropolis of Covelo in Mendocino County, California (population 1,394). This offering replaces the vast, empty expanses of concrete and asphalt previously neglected by Asobo and Blackshark AI with completely rec…

    For me the PMS has suddenly stopped working and also breaks the 530. I think Windows now considers it to be a virus. The download from the PMS site has been removed and the devs are investigating. Just a heads up for those with the issue.

    I'm on latest exp version, SU10 with latest nvidia driver (i think studio one, 517.4 or something).. Every few secs, fps drops from 30 (locked) to 22 and then back.. maybe every 10-15 secs it happens.. only happens with FBW.. used to think it was a conflict with ambitious pushback.. disabled it.. only using gsx now.. still happens.. doesn't happen on any other plane including pmdg.. Does this happen on stable/dev version? will i be losing too many features going to stable?

    Good Morning, Trying a little tweaking of my system and MSFS, I have noticed that AI traffic doesn't disappear. All the traffic options are off, in the flight conditions, I am in single player and no live traffic is on, yet I still see aircraft at large airports, 3rd party, deluxe edition and default. I am currently seeing a lot of SAS liveried aircraft at CDG, so I am thinking its something to do with the AIG traffic thing. Does anyone know how I completely turn off all traffic so nothing interferes with Vpilot? Kind regards.

    I recently got the payware scenery for KMDW by drzewiecki desgin any my frame rates took a big hit anytime im at or near KMDW. I have my graphics settings on high and it works well unless im near my add-on. Is there anyway to adjust settings so that I can increase my FPM's while at this airport and keep my high settings otherwise? I'd appreciate any advice you can offer.
