  2. Ok, I finally bought it. I was waiting for paypal support and better performance, and they arrived. I am not an airliner virtual pilot. For me it is more fun A2A planes with their maintenance system, but I made a couple of flights and this is what I miss in the beautiful plane: 1. Switches and systems stage in between flights option. So they are in the same position as you left them in the previous one. Oil, fuel quantity, etc... 2. Failure activation depending on degradation of systems we use in our flights. Not random please... just if you land too hard, "that" spring can be damaged in future flights. Or tire degradation can make them explode in future...…

    Hi. I have 2 problems since I updated after a 5 month hiatus. Some of my planes the throttle doesn't work on the joystick. But like one out of ten times I start a flight it works fine. It's always the same 2 planes. The other problem is on a different plane as I boot the flight the status bar stops moving and it completely freezes up and I have to use control all delete. I re-installed and the problem is still present.

    Anyone know what mod could be causing my Asobo F/A-18's to pump white smoke out the engines. Whether it be the bird I'm flying for AI on the ground, if it's F/A-18's I'm seeing them push white smoke out the engines. When it first occured a few updates back everyone said it was the updates but I'm seeing too many videos and carrier landings where it looks like an incompatable mod versus a sim update. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

  10. Is anyone experiencing an issue today with the FSDT Installer (Updater) not working? It says it is updating but nothing is happening. I am wondering if it is a temporary server issue. Edit: It is working now after another reboot. Mods please delete. Cheers, Pete

  11. It seems like making changes to the flight_model.cfg for me, don't take effect until I restart the sim. In FSX/P3D, we can make changes on the fly and just reload the aircraft to quickly test them. Does anyone know if and how this can be accomplished with FS2020? Thanks!

  12. So I finally pulled the trigger and bought MSFS Deluxe. I used to be into FS in a BIG way starting back with FS98. In fact, that was the very first program I ever bought for a computer. I went through all the various incarnations up to FSX. I remember the Golden age of Flight Simulators, the various scandals (who was it that tried to claim copyright to liveries back around 2000?) I hung in there a while after FS was canceled, vomited at the attempted reboot with MS Flight, then rejoiced when I heard the new version was coming out. I dipped my toes in but the community had changed it seemed. The site I used to frequent (Simviation) was a ghost town and now seems to ru…

  13. How do you get ride of the Asobo liveries on aircraft? I tried to uninstall them which worked for the most part but I'm still seeing that blue 'Flight Simulator' livery on Longitudes parked on the ramp. Thanks in advance to anyone who knows how to get ride of this abomination on aircraft...😐

    Hi everyone, In FSX/P3D, the ball of the Turn Coordinator was way too reactive and its movement was exaggerated. Now in MSFS, it has a lot of inertia. When I do* a 10-20 degrees bank turn, the ball sticks to the center without the need to action the rudders... I think the exaggeration is now the other way? * with Just Flight Piper, Carenado Mooney, Milviz C310. What do you think mates?

  15. As can be seen by the picture, the reported altitude on the PFD differs from the ones in my ACARS (read through FSUIPC) and the IVAO pilot client (read through SimConnect). This is happening on both the PMDG 737 and the Fenix A320 which are the only airliners i use, so i have no further information. This seems to be an issue with SimConnect (FSUIPC also reads data from there anyway). Anyone experiencing the same with VatSIM clients or any other tools?

    Hi everyone, Because I have ever mostly used VOR navigation and classic Autopilot, I have completely forgotten the logic for using a GPS coupled with the A/P. In this case the GPS is the TDS GTNXi and the aicraft is the JustFlight Piper Warrior 2. I have entered a flight plan in the GPS and I want the A/P to fly the aircraft so that it follows the magenta line. As I remember, there are 4 fours areas which need to be set/actioned. What should I do in each area?

  17. I would like to record my full flights and put them on youtube but do not know where to begin? Do you need any special software to do this? Also once you record your full flight, considering the file would be quite large as I fly in 4K with flights ranging between 1-2hrs. I would have to compress this down and optimize it somewhat before uploading it to youtube. Could someone please tell me what settings I need to use to get a well balanced file where the quality is still good with the file size being small?

    Their sceneries in P3D were awesome. Especially OTHH and VHHH. I hope they jump in soon. Same with FlightBeam. They've only got a handful of sceneries out for MSFS, but I'd really like to see Quito and SFO in this sim.

    I like the AddonsLinker and start every new flight with only the aircraft I want to fly plus sceneries and tools I want to use. That keeps my Community folder every time slim and reduces the amount of work in case of troubleshooting. After contacting the Fenix support - you can do this with the Fenix too. The installer will install the fnx-aircraft folder into the community folder, you can not change this install path. Like with the last patch, after installing the update, run the Fenix app and change the graphic settings for the cockpit to your like. After that is done - you can move the fnx-aircraft folder to whereever you want and configure y…

  20. Despite the update for the PMDG 737 today, I thought this deserves its own topic. In the update for the PMDG 737 today, Randazzo said: So there you have it. It was unknown if the 747 or 777 would be next for PMDG in MSFS (although many people expected the 777 to be next for PMDG after the 737, but it was never confirmed). Now it's confirmed that the 777 should be the next airliner for PMDG in MSFS, and not the 747.

    I just bought both the TDS GTNXi and the Chancellor. First impressions are very good. Im having trouble with the GTN, though. They're both there, but the screens are both black. The trainer will open in a separate window and locate the plane at the correct location, but I can't get the displays to fire up in VC. Where can I choose which GPS is on the panel, because I know there's other options and how can I get the GTN's to both display in the VC? Many thanks!

  24. With al the new releases as far as passenger jets such as, fly the maddog, PMDEG 737-700, the Fenix, BAE 146, who is holding out to buy the PMDG 737-800 ? Personally I bought the MD-80, fly the Maddog, and definitely waiting to buy the PMDG 737-800. As far as airbus eventually I will buy it, seems like that market is really getting flooded, lots of different developers. During FSX days I bought just about everything that came out from PMDG, 737-600,700,800 and 900. I also bought their 747, and 777. Everything was fantastic!! Because of ,my financial budget, I did not buy the 700 version., but will buy the 800 version.

  25. Then try reaching out your hands and placing them on your monitor screen and rebuke Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation. And give the keyboard a 3 finger salute and look in task monitor processes for Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation. And disable it. -- This will do nothing for stutters if your stutters are only visual. It may be a cure if you hear noise during the stutters. MSFS DEV mode FPS display: I noticed black lines in the Main Thread color bar every time there was a stutter. Every time. So I knew the cpu was doing something in the background. Since there was an associated noise, I looked for something to do with sound. With WADGI proc…
