  3. Dear FlightSimmers! At the moment I am really enjoying MSFS, even incl. the SU10 BETA. MSFS is rock solid at my end and performance is great. I have installed windows 11 completely from scratch 8 weeks ago and try to keep the installion as clean as possible. I do not really like (but also do not 100% exclude) products wich install their folders all over the place (Local, Roaming, Programms, ProgrammFiles, Programmfiles (x86), etc, etc.. I prefer (really just prefer) products installing in community folder, clean and simple. As a former P3D Heavy user (and current P3D Beta Tester) I know GSX and have had a lot of fun with this addon. In P3D I had almost no issues…

I'm using Gsx but both with LFPG included or excluded I am having the same jetways. Someone having an idea of what's going on there and how to get regular glassy Jetbridges ?

    I’m nearly in tears, my Track IR finally gave up after 10 years or so of service. Is anyone using this new Tobii system that potentially used TIR before? Thoughts? Need to pull the trigger asap on either one, as there’s no flying without it.

    Today was the second such annoying occurence, after a twelve-hour flight from KORD (FSDT scenery), I landed at Narita RJAA (DD scenery) which was not there... the runway and taxiways had lousy blurry textures and the whole airport was flattened and totally invisible. Two days ago, it was after a three-hour flight from LPPT to EDDF where I landed with exactly the same phenomenon! I never ever had such a case before in close to two years. Has anyone else experienced this? The only recent change made to my computer - exclusively used for MSFS - was installing GSX, nothing else. It looks as if the airport addon was not loaded by MSFS. Evidently both sceneries are co…

    Howdy: The pending SU10 is going to be my first update with MSFS. I know the update will be pushed through automatically but I was wondering if there's any additional steps that need to be taken. Coming from P3D, I know it was suggested to remove/re-build your config and shaders file/folder. What about the community folder? Should I empty that and put them back in after the update? Will the update delete them? Anything else I should be aware of? Thanks!

    I am trying to figure out how to use the drone cam as a spotter camera. So far I managed only that it follows the aircraft correctly when I lock it to the center of the aircraft but don't use a close up view. How can I setup the camera that it centeres on the gears or the forward fuselage section and keeps following the aircraft from that point? Often I configure it that way that the camera is set to the cockpit while rotating the camera is not keeping up with the speed of the aircraft and no following the configured point anymore. Any tips? I hope you get what I mean, it's rather difficult to explain. I have seen that this is possible, but don't know how.

    i am using the default Cessna Caravan and found that I was struggling with speed. After checking online, it says the real aircraft has a cruising speed of 344kmh, which translates to 214mph. In the game I am struggling to maintain anything above 150 at full power (with flaps fully away) unless I am descending. I also see a red line against the speed indicator if I go over approx 210? Is this speed shown in knots, if so, 214mph converts to 185 kts, which I am still unable to achieve? Am I doing something wrong (or stupid) or is there an issue with this aircraft?

    I'm not sure what to think about the Market Place ratings. I use to think only a relatively small percentage of buyers actually provide input to the ratings. Yet there are planes that are not particularly inexpensive with low ratings, below 2.0, with hundreds of votes. If in fact (don't really know) only a small percentage of buyers vote, then hundreds of votes means that there were many more hundreds of buyers, and so it would seem the rating did not play a significant role in the purchase decision for many. Although it likely varies quite a bit do to different factors (cost, type of plane, developer, buyer's age, etc) it would be interesting to know about what app…

  21. I'm curious what planes people fly and why. Right now I seem to be flying the V-tail most of the time, partly because I want to play with steam gauges and partly because it's compatible with both my PC and living room Xbox. Though, once I start doing more serious flying I may switch over to one of the PC mod only Warbirds or steam gauge overhall planes. What are your primary planes, and why?

    It is not clear to me how the Toggle Pause binding is suppose to work. I have assigned a key to Toggle Pause and when pressed it pauses the sim and takes me to the window where I can select between Activities, Assistance Options, General Options or Controls Options. That's fine, but then pressing the key for Toggle Pause again, does nothing. Since it is a toggle function I would expect it to unPause the sim when pressed again. Instead I have to click on Resume (or use the key assigned to Pause Off) to return to the main flight window. So Toggle Pause does not "toggle" anything it seems. Is this a bug on my system? Thanks, Al

    I have had this sim from the first time it came out. Recently it would not open so I uninstalled it and went to reinstall like I have done several times in the past. It would not let me reinstall. Both the Xbox app and Windows store app returned an error. I researched the error and spent a week trying all the fixes listed on various help sites, none worked. I have been in contact with MSFS support and Microsoft support and they keep passing the buck, saying it is not their problem and sending back to the other useless support. You may say I have not tried it all, yes there maybe something I missed but I have reinstalled windows 10 and the Windows store app and t…

    My old FSX installation was on a compressed drive. It seemed to have little (if any) effect on performance but saved a shedload of space. Is anyone running msfs from a compressed drive? Would appreciate any comments on whether there is any impact on performance and and give me a rough estimate of how much space could be saved. My 1 TB is 90% full with only an msfs and a lot of addons and I was wondering if I could extend it's life a little as my mobo will only alliw me to run a single m.2 from it meaning I will need a new mobo as well as a bigger m.2 or will have to cull some of my addons.
