    This is a continuing problem that I have posted about before, but I have not received any help with. When I start the sim and start flying, in DEV MODE, the cursor is shown as an arrow as it should, and when I put it on a clickable spot it changes to the hand with one finger up, as it should, and when I put it on a rotating dial, it changes to the circle arrow, as it should. This only happens when flying in DEV MODE. It does not happen when flying in normal mode. But, if I put the cursor on any of the menu spots in the upper left of the screen like WINDOWS, OPTIONS, etc., and then put the cursor over any click spot in the panel of the plane, it somehow changes. …

    I seem to remember using a flight planner in the past which - 1) displayed a map showing nearby airports, vor's etc 2) displayed a topography 'map' between the departure airport and the destination airport showing elevations so that you can be aware of minimum altitudes on a vor flight. Can someone please remind me which flight planner does these things Thanks John

    MSFS works great but has some strange habits. Mine will not hold settings. If I go into the map to choose a flight location I get all the icons. I go to filter and set it so only airfields show. Next time I go in all icons are back...Now the other opposite is if I set the top selection autopilot and then leave the sim and later go back it still has that autopilot on. Strange.

    Hello guys - I did dozens of searches however I cannot find a way to disable my floating airport marker mileage icon on my MSFS which floats around the cabin screen. I don't mind the Icon but it often gets right in the way of my route information at times. Any idea to shut this off. Thanks Mike

  11. I've discerned much improvement in the terrain mesh in WU10 (USA). I live in West Virginia, where any inaccuracies in terrain mesh become apparent immediately. We have flat roadways chiseled into the sides of sloping mountains. We have level baseball parks situated on the tops of jagged, angled hills. We have wildly meandering rivers snaking their way through the bottoms of valley terrain, surrounded by the Appalachian mountain range. West Virginia is known as The Mountain State. It could also be called The Terrain Mesh State. So I was especially pleased by WU10. I've already noticed innumerable improvements to the default landscape, not to mention the new photogrammetry …

    after installing WU10 last night having issues, so first flight last night lots of weird ecam warnings and Gen 1/Gen2 fault lights on overhead. I put it down to not rebooting the sim after installing all the updates. It was late, went to bed. Tonight things going ok but literally all the displays on the autopilot have disappeared during setup so I can't see whether I'm in managed mode, can't see altitude nothing. The buttons respond like if I increase/decrease altitude the PFD changes. Had ZERO problems before WU10. Anyone else having issues? See below. The PFD on first officer has been turned off by me on purpose to save frames btw 🙂 And yes I have used the…

  13. I have flown in some areas but I can’t see any difference. Jorg Neumann said they used much better digital elevation data in some places, and I really wish Asobo could tell us where these areas are so that we could go there and really enjoy the update. US is so big. If we fly blindly, we might never see those enhanced terrain, and the update would be pointless. I remember they give us a map of different elevation for different part of US for last update. Please give us such a map showing all the terrain enhancement. It would make the update really enjoyable. BTW, thank you Asobo so much for all the previous world updates. I enjoy them so much. Keep the world update c…

Found here: https://flybywiresim.com/map/ I don’t however see my flight, either by using the search function or looking on the map itself. What is required to get a flight to show up on this map? Transponder is on. Is it VATSIM only?

    All my flights are on Vatsim, I have aig liveries installed, plus ivao xcl folder/files. I rarely get "red" warnings that vPilot cannot find an aircraft. I recently flew to an airport where a Honda jet was taxiing. The pilot had correctly assigned the aircraft ICAO as HDJT. I understand that I dont have a Honda jet model/livery installed, but vPilot/model matching inserted a generic Asobo twin jet airliner (787 type size) in place of the Honda jet. Is there a way of "forcing" vPilot to choose a more appropriate aircraft type if this situation happens again? How could I amend the VMR file to force it to display a "Citation" as an example if it sees HDJT agai…

    I installed WU X today and noticed that after also updating everything in the Content Manager 'WU V: Nordics' shows up as PARTIALLY INSTALLED. And to the right of it stands DOWNLOAD AVAILABLE 8,50MIB (+ 8,68MIB ON DISK). So I clicked on INSTALL and it seemed to download some stuff and install it but after that I kept on reading PARTIALLY INSTALLED... So I completely uninstalled the entire WU V: Nordics update and then installed it again brand new... still have the PARTIALLY INSTALLED message...! Er...? Anyone knows how to get it completely installed? It's only missing some 8,50 plus 8,68 Mb so it can't be much but Norway is my favorite area: 50% of my …

  20. I just got upgraded to the latest version of MSFS Premium (1.26.50) after re-installing on C:\Steam with lots of space and rolling cache on a 2 TB NVMe system drive. Are these dark clouds normal now in MSFS? Live weather is off. This is at KSFO (San Francisco). Also, after the latest upgrade shouldn't the bespoke airport KAVX look like the picture on the left below instead of what it is on the right? I have ORBX's KAVX but I don't have it installed in the Community folder. Thank you.

  21. I noticed a few days ago that there is a dark, skinny rectangular box (maybe tow inches long by 1/2 inch wide) at the top left corner of my monitor screen. Yesterday, after I installed WUX, the box had some numbers in it, which looked like perhaps the time that elapsed since I booted up MSFS. Not sure what this is or how to get rid of it. When I am flying, it will blink at time. Anyone know what this is? Cheers, Pete
