  3. Hi all, after installing AIG Manager & Traffic Controller (I followed the included manual as well as two separate highly viewed YT tutorials - just to be sure) I noticed my frames drop from e.g. 60 - 70 FPS at KLAX to around 20 - 25 FPS... Am I missing something? This is what I followed EXACTLY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbrrArabaLk&t=2052s&ab_channel=2020fs'ers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZKO9dCBSRM&list=WL&index=3&t=334s&ab_channel=2020fs'ers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuHlhSKZ38I&ab_channel=2020fs'ers and also this (just to be sure) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XM415ibRsM&t=1212s&am…

    Is anyone working on this? The city just completed the new Saint Petersburg Pier which is right beside Albert Whitted Airport. We have the Sunshine Skyway Bridge which now lights up in colors at night. There is Tampa International Airport and Saint Pete Clearwater airport as well. Howard Frankland and Gandy Bridges in Tampa Bay. Sure would be nice to see some scenery upgrades of this stuff flying around this beautiful area...

    The Italian WU seemed to introduce this issue; cities with already very good PG pre-update (eg Napels), were given an apocalyptic make-over by hyper-generation of ugly trees. They posted than an update saying it was solved, but it isn't. There are many PG cities with too many trees and the latest city update seems to have the same issues, as described in this video and highlighted in the comments: (18) Microsoft Flight Simulator - BEFORE and AFTER - City Update 1 Comparison - YouTube Oddly, not all cities seem to have the issue. When will they finally fix this extremely annoying bug?

    I tried some crosswind landing (to test the bad claims about its unrealism). But already setting the winds seems to be broken. If I set it to 4 km/h, I get 20kts announced in the ATIS of the airport, and 11kts indicated in the ND of the Fenix A320. The windsock, on the other hand, indicates something more like 8kts. The plane has a 4° crab at 170kts, which translates to 11kts indeed. But why is the setting and the ATIS broken? What's going on?

  10. I know there was an issue in a previous build with generic jet sounds appearing in the sim, a ‘hairdryer’ sound as people referred to it, but it was fixed. Well I have the latest version of the sim but I have it and it is doing my head in. It is in external and internal views, engines off or on. I cannot get rid of it. I have AIG models installed for VATSIM traffic - I don't know if that has something to do with it but the sound occurs whether I’m connected to VATSIM or not, and all other AI is turned off. Turning the other aircraft volume levels to 0 does not help. Is there anyone, please, who knows of a cfg or xml file parameter I can change or something I can do to get…

    Turned on AI traffic again after i had it turned off since SU3 or so. Took off and noticed some nav- and anti-collision lights in the distance so i headed in the direction of the traffic only to find out that there are only nav- and anti-collision lights to be seen but no aircraft. Tried a few other flights, always the same problem, lights but no aircraft.

    To find airports and other scenery in a certain given nation. click on scenery, release the mouse button, now hold down the same button and move the mouse downward If you click on More Countries the smaller nations pop up including those with 1 or 2 airports, like Montserrat. That Island is in the Caribbean, not the Iberian Mountain Montserrat where Wagner's Opera Parsival locates the Holy Grail. (Sorry, I love Wagner's Operas, he he).

My issue is, when entering Approach to RWY 28 R at KSFO, ILS Frequency for runway does not show up the "Primary Frequency" Box, which is empty. I have the latest Navigraph data base installed and running SU9. Any ideas on what is going wrong, is this a database issue? Bill Clark

  17. Bermuda, a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean, only has one airport, L.F. Wade International Airport (IATA: BDA, ICAO: TXKF), which was originally known as Bermuda International Airport. It is situated in the parish of St. George’s, 6 NM (11 km; 6.9 mi) northeast of Hamilton, the island’s capital. It features one terminal for passengers, one cargo terminal, eight stands for aircraft, and can accommodate all sizes of aircraft up to and including the Airbus A380. At the moment, eight passenger or cargo airlines run seasonal or year-round scheduled services from Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States to Bermuda Airport. FEATURE LIST: …

  21. As can be seen in my signature I have an old very mid range system. But I can still run 4 screens including pop out G530 for AirManger and control with knobster. The multi views are great, much more realistic than NVIDia Surround or similar. With side monitors angled the immersion is fantastic, much nicer than VR IMHO, it is nice to have functioning knobs and be able to run all the switches and dials on the controls. I get much better frame rate than I do with similar setup in X-planes multi screen views. FS2020 is not quite as mature as X-plane version, but this is only BETA, so a fantastic start. Here is an iPhone video showing how I use it:

  23. Hi everybody, for some time now I have been working on a new version of PMCO, specifically for the Fenix A320 add-on on the MSFS platform. PMCO is a freeware FSUIPC plugin written in a programming language called Lua, that dynamically plays the callouts of the pilot monitoring (PM), mainly during takeoff and rollout. This is more or less a port over from an older version, which was written for another popular A320 add-on on the FSX/Prepar3D platform. Before sharing it with the wider public, I would like to ask some volunteers to beta test the plugin. If you... - own Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) - own the paid version of FSUIPC 7 (sorry, the fre…

    During the FSX days, the inadequacy of the simulator's weather engine was well publicized as well as the "must have" of ActiveSky Next to address the weather engine issue. What is the general consensus of the MSFS 2020 weather engine ? Does the weather engine do the job or is an addon needed to render weather correctly for this simulator as well ? Just checking to see what the general assessment is on this most important aviation point.
