  3. Hi! I'm using the Milviz C310 together with the TDS GTNXi 750. During the GTN 750 startup test there is the half scale HSI CDI deflection (picture 1) but unfortunately in normal operation any HSI CDI deflection is missing (picture 2). Therefore, the autopilot is not working in NAV mode since there is no CDI deviation to correct for. It works with the PMS50 but not with the TDS GTNXi. Cycling the Navigation Source in the "TDS GTNXi Flight Sim" app does not change anything (picture 3). NAV 1 / NAV 2 toggling or using the second GTN unit does not change anything. Any ideas? Thank you!

  7. Compared to these three: Aerosoft CRJ 700 Fenix A320 PMDG B737 out of the above I’m a little more familiar with the PMDG B737, but still very green. bonus question: can you use SIDS/STARS within the built in MSFS ATC?

  8. Has anyone been successful in updating Orbx Burbank KBUR to version 2 through the Marketplace? I purchased Burbank a while ago and Marketplace had an update to version 2. After downloading, everytime I go there I only get the default airport. I've deleted and reinstalled at least 2 times but it still doesn't work. I've also checked other purchased airports and they work fine. I've opened a ticket with Microsoft but was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if and how they fixed it.

  9. G'day all, I've been using MSFS Addons Linker pretty much as soon as I installed FS2020, which was only last year, and I've been using it in conjunction with ModManFX. It was all working swimmingly until the other day when flight sim updated itself. 😒 I would add and install a mod with ModManFX then create a link for it in Addons Linker. After ModManFX would no longer install any addons, for whatever reason, I have since discovered that apparently I only need to use Addons Linker, is that correct?. My main question is, how do I get it to work? Please read on... I've revisited all the tutorials on it, re-added my addons folder in the program, extracted specific a…

    In the cold and dark state, NAV, BEACON, TAXI, LANDING and STROBE lights are all ON. In the cockpit, the switches are in the OFF position. Landing light and taxi / takeoff light switches don't work in my SIM. I have tried different liveries and I continue to experience the problem. I see some youtubers are able to at least be able to use the light switches in their cockpit and I am not sure how they are able to. Is anyone else having problems with lights? More importantly, does anyone know if there is a fix to this?

    I bought the Fenix A320 about a day or two after it was released, but I have yet to install it. The reason I'm hesitant to do so is that I'm running a seven-year-old computer, and look to build a new one in the next few months. I know the Fenix comes with some form of DRM, but what happens when you have it on one computer and want to move it to a new one? I would assume you have to "unregister" it in some way on the old computer first. How easy/convoluted is it? Would it be a simple matter to switch it to a new computer, or would I be better off waiting until I have that new build done? I tried googling the question but found nothing on the subject.

  13. I want to take my IFR flying to the next level and fly on VATSIM, but I'm kind of a shy person and scared that I might upset the controllers, especially at really busy airports. Plus I don't have the best memory either. I'm afraid that I won't be able to read back what the controller tells me. Can I type in the vPilot client instead of talking and use the CPDLC on the Fenix A320 to avoid using voice altogether?

    Has any one noticed that since SU9 there is a wild and crazy turbulence that affects all aircraft as soon as they are airborne?...this is also the case with payware and also default airplanes...the GA aircraft are the most affected. Its very annoying and disturbing especially for the vfr pilots among us (me included)...the whole vfr experience is taking a huge hit with this new wild and crazy over done "turbulence" that was added with the SU9 introduction. I mean I agree that flying on rails is not totally realistic either...but common...they have clearly over exaggerated it with the new turbulence injection. Is any one else also experiencing this?...and if so.…

    Is there a way i can rebind this feature? It's driving me nuts when I'm on the overhead panel and use the middle mouse wheel to flick switches, and if my cursor isn't in the exact location it'll zoom in/out. I would like to add a CTRL to the cockpit zoom function so that I don't accidentally zoom while flicking switches, but MSFS won't allow me. Is there a way to do this?

  18. Hi all, I just bought the new Just Flight 146 Professional for MSFS (d/l from Marketplace) and am having some problems. The issue is that my primary flight controls aren't responding in the aircraft. They work just fine in all the other aircraft I have but on the 146 there is no response (either on the yoke or external surfaces) when I move the pedals/control yoke. Strangely the toe brakes work and move the rudder pedals appropriately. This is the same problem if I start Cold and Dark or Ready for TO, regardless of the model of the 146. Help!

  21. After enjoying the PMDG 737-700 (which in retrospect spoiled me with its ease of use and systems especially the autopilot), I’m now trying to learn the Leonardo Maddog and not doing that well though I can MANUALLY hand fly her quite well, and it’s a lovely plane. It’s just a different beast. Some questions... 1) My landing light switches won’t retract/go off when I click them with a mouse, it’s like they’re stuck? 2) I figured how to load a company route and the first time even got the autopilot to follow it! But now when I try to select “plan” mode on the display it says “No Plan Mode” and “VOR fail”? 3) When I flick the autopilot switch on the …

  23. Hey fellow simmers! I was loving AIG's traffic manager and traffic controller applications until the traffic controller application just completely stopped working. 1. I do have a shortcut established with the -MSFS2020 tag applied and it is set to run as an administrator. 2. I have the AIG Traffic Controller set to run as an administrator. 3. AI Traffic Manager is working just fine or appears to be working fine. When I start the shortcut, nothing happens. Not even the splash logo appears like it does in the Traffic Manager. I check on the event log does provide a .Net error. Application: AIGTech - Traffic Controller.exe Framework Version: v4.0…
