  3. I have been getting "Bandwidth is too low for data streaming, switch to off line mode now" for a number of days now since the latest upgrade. Never had this before and I have been flying in MSFS 2020 since it first came out first using the FBW A320 and then with the PMDG 737 and the Fenix, my system was able too work very well indeed. It is rather distressing as I can only fly off line now. One good thing is I am able to concentrate on the 1000 aboard the C 172 and flying using the instrument as per pic with the occasional look outside at the dreadful off-line scenery. Better than nothing though I suppose!!! Does anybody else have this problem? I have a fairly powe…

  4. Is anyone aware of any YouTube channel that has looked at all the various ATC solutions? I can search each one and find some review videos, but I’d love it if a single reviewer has put them all to the test to get a clearer picture of pros/cons.

    Great video with lots of things I knew nothing about or had ever considered on Airbus high temperature operations. 320 Sim Pilot (a real world Airbus pilot) really is a fantastic source of learning and information for the simulation community.

    Good morning, i wonder if anyone of you managed to save a flight with the fenix and sucessfully can reload it with all systems running. I tried it with FSUIPC but no luck. With P3D i used to save flight while on final to do those landings again and again but with MSFS this seems not to be possible for the time being. Thanks for your help, Carsten

    That M.S., when starting the sim...at the bottom right of the opening still screen, calls MSFS a 'game', and not 'starting--> simulator<--'. Sort of suggests the overall mindset of MSFS? Always makes me smile...for the outright wars some have here, as to whether MSFS is after all, a flight game...or uh...a serious simulator of the physics of flight. M.S. feels it's a game, it seems lol! Ses

  11. Hi all I haven't flown the -700 in quite a while now. I did a quick flight yesterday from KLGA La Guardia to KDCA Washington Natl. I chose an RNAV approach into rwy 19. The issue is that I never saw any indication to start the glideslope. I thought this would happen just before reaching SETOC, which is the final approach point. Now - it could be that I messed up, since I haven't flown it in a while. I was at SETOC at 1500' as per the charts, so naturally I had to do a go-around. Not enough time to correct the mistake at that low altitude. On the second attempt I descended in V/S after FAP and disconnected the autopilot early. RNAV approaches should be wor…

    Hi, after years of staying grounded, I made a flight with E190. My seat was a center seat in 3rd line and I managed to see quite a lot to cockpit before the start. So, I have no knowledge of this plane and I became curious: How automatic is this plane? How does it compare to B737 or A320? If sombody would enlighten me, I'll be grateful. Petteri

  16. Some of you may know me from my airport sceneries. Now when CYOO is released, I’m considering my options for which Canadian airport to do next. I’m open to suggestions regarding what are the most demanded airports that have not been done by anyone else and are not in the development currently by anyone, or are available in poor enough quality to be largely ignored. Naturally I would like to avoid unnecessary competition with other fine scenery developers by working on the same area, but rather work towards covering more Canadian airports instead, so we all win. I was going to proceed with work on CYQB next, however a fair quality freeware was just released this …

    I purchased an Xbox X a couple of weeks ago, along with a download version of MSFS 2020. Due to a slow internet connection (6.5 Mbps) it took a week to download the 100+ gigabytes. I am trying to run the program offline. When I open MSFS and attempt to fly, I get this message: “You are currently offline and do not have the optional Offline Mode files installed, so cannot start a new flight.” It says to check connection. I checked, and it is connected. I clicked on the “EXIT AND DOWNLOAD OFFLINE CONTENT". I have done this twice and waited 24 hours for slow download. It didn’t work. ANY SUGGESTIONS? (not shouting) I am an old geezer and wanted to do the…

  19. This is for anyone who was using FRAPS to display frame rate, and experienced a sudden loss of the FRAPS screen display after a recent update of the game software. Turns out that one of these patches installs DX12 as the default graphics driver, and FRAPS isn't compatible with it. You can restore FRAPS functionality by setting the game to use DX11 instead. Doing this not only cleared up the FRAPS problem, it fixed a couple of other glitches too: specifically, with the flight planning map, which was covered with solid yellow and green color blocks at some zoom scales. I was also having trouble with frame skipping, loss of frame rate, and jitter. After downgrading the graph…

    Hi, has anyone tried something like this with the new multi-monitor support beta 10? I did not opt in so cannot test. Just came across it and it got me thinking if at least in theory, this means we can have a 3 monitor display within an ultra wide monitor without the bezels. Wouldn't it be a game changer? It would cost a fraction of buying 3 monitors yet potentially yield equivalent if not better results? Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself with this. There is a generous 30 day pro version trial they offer. If someone tries, please let me know. Thanks. https://www.displayfusion.com/

    Would much rather buy direct from developer as assumed they would benefit more? Not purchased via marketplace before and I understand Marketplace can have a delay on updates. However went to purchase Milviz 310 for $39.99 (About £32) direct from them , but then with taxes added on for UK it came to approx. £40.00. Yet if I buy from the market place its £33.49. Seems a shame but is there any other other disadvantage of buying from Marketplace ? Any install issues? Spotted some posts about purchases not going through properly ( not using steam version) Cheers
