I haven't touched Leonardo MD-82 for about month. After updating it up to date I decided to give it a spin. May be it's a placebo, but graphics seems like improved! Combined with FS Realtisc light chop turbulence really make flying immersive . Has anyone else noticed?

"How well is MSFS doing, and how can you afford to be so generous with free content?" "How did you come up with the 40th anniversary content and who made it?" "Will the 40th Anniversary edition feature more than what has already been announced?" "Will you make more collaborations like those with Top Gun and Halo? How much depth goes into that content?" "Why did you update the United States a second time?" "Did Carenado make the Beechcraft Model 18?" "Have you started negotiations for the Antonov An-225?" "What future plans do you have for the simulator?" "Are you planning more improvements to carriers?" …

When doing an IFR flight using default ATC it seem to make sense until I get close to my destination airport, It seem I myself must ask for vectors for every turn needed and then it directs me on a long roundtrip around the airport. I am not told by ATC to turn to a new heading unless I ask for vectors myself. Also my destination was EHLE which has a ILS approach to runway 5 and I was using live weather. Rwy 5 would be with a headwind. But instead I am assigned to land on rwy 23. When I explicitely asked for ILS rwy 5 I was told to follow vectors to ILS rwy 5 and then circle to land on 23.

One of the new scenery additions to WU10 was photogrammetry of Charleston, our capital city. Since I live nearby, I couldn't believe my good fortune when I saw Asobo's WU10 promotional-release video showcasing Charleston, whose photogrammetry is impressive. I'm intimately familiar with the terrain and architecture of the region, and the sim now boasts a truly lifelike model of Charleston. HOWEVER, in implementing this improvement to the City of Charleston, there are now hundreds of thousands of square acres surrounding Charleston that somehow had their scenery completely stripped away by WU10. The underlying mesh is still there and accurate. But the previously lush f…

Hi, Sofar while testing my PSXseecontraffic software I have always run the stock airbus airplane in AI piloting mode, because I was not interested in flying but in my PSXT program only. Today however, I have bought the PMDG 737 and now I want to fly that bird myself! But I don't get rid of the AI pilot.... I've searched for threads about that topic on the internet, and I see some people having the same problem, but I do not see a solution other then setting everything to HARD in the Assistance options and leaving Development mode, which I both did. If I want to make a flight with the PMDG 737, the moment I click Fly, the AI pilot kicks in, and I have no o…

I was just thinking how odd it is, that we have addon plane after addon plane released, that use the extremely toy-like Asobo Garmin G3X, when there is such a beautiful G1000NXi available within the sim. Just think how many different certified aircraft there are out there that now use the NXi. Where is the addon SR22 that offers more than the default? Where is the C206 G1000? Where are the Pipers (PA46 etc) with the G1000NXi. What an opportunity for developers to be able to concentrate on the model, FDE and sounds, and not have to reinvent the wheel for a beautiful G1000. And yet all we see is ever more LSA and uncertified aircraft with that darn G3X!…

Since the last update, I note that the buttons that I have assigned on my Honeycomb yoke randomly stop working. After some time, they work again. The yoke itself still functions OK. Has anyone else noticed this?

Wondering if the PMDG and other aircraft have led to changes in memory recommendations for GPU? I see 3080’s on Newegg with both 12gb and 10gb. Either should be sufficient?

I don't know if this is just my system or if anyone else has experienced itl After I've had a CTD I always reboot in the Safe Mode. When I do this all the aircraft do not appear in sim. Within the past three days I downloaded and installed Fenix, Douglas DC-3 and Bonanza Improvement Project. If I shut down the sim and then start up again in the Regular Mode everything is there. Anyone else see this? Just what is the Safe Mode and how is it different from the regular start up? Roy

Has anyone out there had much success with making their GoFlight products work in FS2020? I've tried the GoFlight interface and it's very unstable. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

...markedly improved/improving of late? I noticed this a few weeks ago and it's holding up very well now. By choreography I'm talking about how ATC syncs my flight up with existing realtime traffic and gets everybody in and out in orderly fashionk, and is doing a remarkably good job now, even in busy terminals. Here we are at CYVR in the B78X HD with 5 planes, all were spaced nicely, all called to hold short, line up and wait, all as appropriate, very orderly. I think it gets very challenged when for example you pause the sim. A few months ago it could be total chaos with planes spinning around unsure of what to do next. I see less and less of this of late and I can…

I seem to remember that I had flight sim (xplane, fsx or earlier) that used a predictive cockpit view (not sure what the name of it was). Basically, if you started to turn right, the cockpit view would turn about 35 degrees right automatically and then straighten out when you turned straight and level. I thought it was FSRealistic but I don't see that on the new FSRealistic Pro. Does anyone know what program allowed that predictive view?

Hi, Just getting familiar with MSFS 2022, I was flying the Cessna 152 with no problems when I wanted to pause the sim. I pressed the "P" key. I forgot that the new sim uses "Pause Break" key instead of the "P" key. The sim paused completely with no sound. I pressed P again and tried different keys but nothing worked. I exited with the ESC key, and went back to the previous screen, then tried to go back to the flight. The flight resumed, but with no sound. i tried several times but could not get sound back. I had previously changed a few bindings on the yoke when I first got the sim but nothing else. I have Thrustmaster pedals and a CH Products yoke. Thanks. …

These two aircraft are relatively similar. Which do people prefer? 1) Aeroplane Heaven Electra 10A (approx $32 US) 2) Carenado (MSFS) Beechcraft 18 (approx $15 US) The Electra is twice the price of the Beech ... but is it twice as good? The visuals look good on both, but how do the systems and flight models compare?

The exterior and interior models have been completed. A significant amount of time has gone in re-engineering the interior of the aircraft so that it is compatible with Asobo's submodel and attachment system. First of all, the passengers and cargo are no longer built-into the model, but separate models of their own. The gains from this are three-fold: -The passengers/cargo now don't count against the aircraft's poly count. That me…

Hi all, So I would like to start creating more content and recording, ie. landings / take off. I saw there is a recording thing built in which is fine, but when you play back, it only plays back in the camera setting which you recorded in, If that makes sense. I would like to know if there is a programme or a way for me to record and then when I play back, to be able to change camera angles, i.e. record taking off from cockpit, but replay and view this from inside the cabin? I saw a programme called "Flight Control Replay" which does this, but does not show animation, ie. in replay mode it doesn't show the gear retracting, or the flaps retracting etc.…
