    In general I'm very pleased with Seasons BUT. I frquently use Orbx Stapleford EGSG and Orbx have made a pretty good rendition. Part of the airport in real life there is a row of half a dozen cypress trees. In fact they are something of a feature that you spot from the air. Orbx did their best by putting fir trees there. At least they were tall ans 'thinish' Bijan saw fit to remove them and replace them with these.. My beef is, how do you get to replace other people's work? Pity.

  3. The FV Trim wheel pro is set up as an axis (-16383 to 16383 range) with a small knob to adjust the trim sensitivity. For hand flying, this works really well- however I have noticed that after disconnecting the autopilot, even a slight touch to the trim wheel causes an unusual attitude pitched up or down... I thought that setting the axis in MSFS 2020 to X+ as trim up, and X- as trim down would work (basically axis as a button)... But it causes runaway trim in the direction I turn it. I do have Axes and Ohs as well as FSUIPC- and I'm sure there's a way to turn an axis into a buton press/event send...just trying to figure out how.

    Wondering if anyone has any experience with IniScene Airports? I see that they have released KSAT in San Antonio Texas (my home). Screen shots look exceptional on their website. Would love to purchase it, and it seems very reasonably priced. Details include interior modeling. I am concerned about how their sceneries affect performance. Thoughts? Thanks!

  5. I got it right the 1st time, but not subsequently. Setting up a STARS ILS flight via the FMC, I then set a Top of Climb Altitude in the AP that matches the FMC ALT, & check the FMC Legs for discontinuity & so on, & that the Waypoint altitudes are reasonable. Save the flight & Execute Flight Plan ok in the FMC. Take off & go on to the AP, running VNAV, LNAV. The 600 climbs to TOC ok, but further into the flight, when it is passing waypoints where it should be losing altitude as part of the descent process, it holds TOC altitude. I am trying to figure out if I have missed a step in the FMC as regards triggering the descent from TOC? …

    Here is Plan-de-Dieu airport created by Claude Roure. In MSFS type: F8451 (name: Plan De Dieu - town: Travaillan). Unpaved runway 17/35 of 650/30m, 10 km north-east of the BA115 Orange-Caritat. Activity: light aviation. Nearby, paved runway 16/34 of 2000/30m (ICAO code: LFPR; but in MSFS: LF51) for military use in addition to the Orange-Caritat BA115, therefore prohibited to the CAP; to be used only under ATC clearance or in an emergency. https://www.simvol.org/en/downloads/airports/plan-de-dieu

  10. Hello All, A couple days ago, after finishing a flight, I tried to load another flight but the loading screen hung at around 75%. No matter what I did, I could not load a flight. I eventually went to the options page and switched to offline and I was able to load flights, but I am missing the features of on-line flights. Does anyone have any advice? I can surf the internet fine on the computer, so I know I am connected. I tried turning off different online features but still could only load a flight if I switched the Data mode to offline. Any help would be appreciated! -Jody Pombrio

    I’m in the mood to try something new and would like to try to fly the 737-600 into the old kai tak airport. Can anyone recommend a Kai tak scenery, as I’m extremely unfamiliar with this area of the world, can someone also recommend where I should depart from (looking for something within an hour ish. Shorter if possible) Cheers!

  15. Using the Bravo TQ. No matter what slot the #1 throttle and mixture are in, they jump back to cutoff (not together). Even on a 2 engine jet with the #1 throttle in the second slot (speed brake in slot#1) same thing happens. The prop levers never do that nor do the #2 throttle and mixture. In the controls option page the white bars are solid and steady. In other words the slots in the tq seem to be ok - just the #1 throttle and #1 mixture selection. I'm in the beta mode now but due to not much flying prior to beta I can't be sure if the problem existed or not but I don't think so. Any ideas? Thanks. Jim

  16. Sorry to bother you with another performance thread.... Since my new computer (2020), on which MSFS is now also running, I have not been able to get proper performance for the flight simulators P3D, X-Plane and MSFS. INTEL CORE I7-11700KF (Updated from Ryzen5, no improvement) 32GB DDR4 NVIDIA RTX2070 SUPER (tested with RTX2060, no improvement) 1920x1080 60Hz monitor (various monitors from 24" to 28" tested, no improvement) 1.) If I allow more than 30FPS, my monitor (freesync-capable, no G-sync) does not sync. So regardless of whether it is fixed at 60FPS or open, when panning, the parts of the image warp vertically. 2.) It o…

    I like to start by saying that I really do apprciate the dedication from Asobo and MS to constantly develope this Simulator. However, after saying that I am getting more and more frustrated at the size and the method of theses updates. This is my quick story... For various reasons I had not touched my Sim for about a long while. It started with a few week gap but then I knew I would have to download a large update and it would be impossible to use without a considerable delay... so I left it. Then I realised 3 months had passed so the other day I bit the bullet and fired it up. I was expecting a 20-30GB update perhaps? Nope, it was 115Gb (one …

    Just had an email even though the update is dated July 19 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changelog of RV-14/14A v1.3.0 || July 19, 2022 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Added GNS530 cockpit variant. Model fixes. Reduced blue lights in front of screens.

  19. Hi all Along with the release of the -600 yesterday, Mr. Randazzo also mentioned features included in the update to the -700. As this update seems to have gone unnoticed here at AVSIM, I'll list some of the main points here and a link to the PMDG announcement. Forgive me if there's already a thread on this. The biggest and most notable change is that we have folded in new PMDG Lateral Flight Path simulation, updating the very core of how the flight management system computes, plans and and draws the "magenta line" that ultimately gets followed by the airplane. The new LFP simulation conforms to ICAO standards for computation of paths and the arcs flown to conne…

    Hi, After updating my Nvidia drivers noticied that when panning fast, inside or outside view, MSFS hangs, the image is freezed, rest of the system is responding fine. When looking at event viewer, Win10 says that: "The nvlddmkm display driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered." I tried to revert to the old version, I did a clean driver uninstall from DDU driver uninstaller, I did a stress test to my GTX 1080 without failures. It seems related to a driver issue, but I can't revert back to the normal behavior. Now my nvidia driver is at 512.59. Any thoughts?
