    Hello! Cannot download a file from flightsim.to... It used to be ok, but not anymore. When I press download and confirm that I am not a robot, it gives me a message that the download started successfuly but I don't see any downloading process... Tried from different browsers. Any idea how to deal with the problem? Thanks

    Haven't flown the Fenix in a while. Took it up tonight for the first time in a month. Noted that on the EFB, when in chart mode and parked at a gate, you used to be able to zoom in all the way and get a very nice map of the airport, showing all taxiways, etc. It's no longer there. At max zoom, you just got the local terrain, nothing of the airport. I have access to all the Navigraph charts, etc but I really liked that airport map. Did I screw up one of my settings or did Fenix do away with that feature?

  5. Finally the Update Version: 1.6.10 https://simworksstudios.com/product/pc-12-legacy/ Still not native Msfs2024. It's not available in the shops, but I hope soon... McDan out

    What about the Asobo PC12 NGX - is it good? Anyone is flying with it?

  7. Have to say, I was wrong about Active Sky. But it really improves weather accuracy, especially at your departure and arrival airport, and the weather loading in between is much improved (compared to previous versions I owned). Plus, it simulates cloud turbulence, which the default Asobo weather doesn't really do. Thumbs up from me. It's now part of every flight (although the interface could use a bit of a face lift).

    I want to talk about this ATC add-on, because I think is really good and worth a look. I love how easy it is to set up, load a simbrief flight plan, the airport map & route, the flight plan route you're cleared to fly, airplane ATC customization, etc. I wish that the voices sounded a little better, such as those I've heard on BATC. I also wish that during taxi I was not asked to contact the tower to cross at every runway. Ground control usually tells you to hold short or cross the runway. What are your thoughts on this contact tower while taxing clearance? So far it's been stable even though it's still in Beta and I'm looking forward to its future developmen…

    Hello Everybody. i just started the career mode in order to obtain my ppl. In the first lesson for the take off the throttle and mixtures are working but impossible to control the elevator and ailerons. I turn my yoke and nothing happens. When I go in free flight my controls work perfectly. What is the problem? How can I follow the lessons if I cannot control the plane. thanks for your precious help.

  11. Howdy. Just posted on Horizon Simulation’s discord. Their renowned and well loved 787-9 is now available for MSFS 2024. Details below. EDIT: If you download via Orbx make sure you also download and install the accompanying Livery Package, “Hues By Horizon” Edit 2 Horizon has issued a hot fix. Details below: Hey @everyone, A Small patch, v1.2.3, of the B789 is now live on ORBX Central and the Headwind installer featuring: # HS B787-9 v1.2.3 Changelog: - Fixed the MLG Contact point, causing the MLG to not retract or the aircraft sit level. Apologies for those who have updated and now need to do it again, but I thought the sooner I update…

    As much as I like the Fenix A32x aircraft, it's good to try something new. I've got the iniBuilds A300-600 premium edition, which, although good, is an older generation Airbus with quite a few differences in terms of operating. Enter the MSFS2024 default A330-300 and -200. As with anything iniBuilds, it looks awesome - but does it operate and handle in a realistic decent way? I guess A330 driver has the answer for that, but I don't watch many of his videos. IMO, it's a fun aircraft. The ground handling seems much better than that of the Fenix (still experimental in 2024). I find it tricky to land the Fenix in 2024—not so with the A330 (and the A300). The aircr…

  14. Hello i am trying to assign my yoke buttons in MSFS 2024. When I consult video on YouTube they all refer to a button on the lower left portion entitled “ Filters-none”. Unfortunately I do not have this option. Only “ more info” instead. How come? And how can I access the missing button? Thanks in advance

  15. I have been flying MSFS 2020 for years, with no major issues (save for the occasional ones that are resolved (or started) by Sim Updates -- looking at you, SU16 and blurry ground textures...). Recently, I was doing a flight with time compression on, and noticed that my contrails were super gray and thin. Although going down to normal time compression made it better, the thin gray line was still there. I've attached screenshots to this post from a test flight today, with the subtitles showing the time compression. Clearly, it's an issue no matter what rate the sim is running at. And, screenshots at the end, from flights I did earlier in October 2025, do not show the i…

    Hello, yesterday I bought Orbx's Klamath & 36S Happy Camp add-on. It has three small strips which don't show up in the airport list called CA104, CA105, and CA106 but it does give the lat/long coordinates. Can someone tell me the precise steps to enter in lat/long so I can spawn a plane there? Thanks, Jack

    For some reason, that is a mystery to me, and I'm still waiting to hear back from A2A, my Comanche is not working properly after installing Chaseplane. Basically, I am unable to initiate a preflight walkaround. I'm concerned a similar issue may be present with the Bonanza, due to the walkaround option. I'm wondering if there is anyone here who is running the new BS Bonanza with Chaseplane with no problems, as I really want to get my hands on this bird today!

    Where in the menu is the ability to change co-pilot? I tried to click on my user name top right of screen, but the only options are world photographer, career mode, and challenge mode. The blue options down the left side offer no help.
