    Is it possible to create one's own Showcase/Fixed camera views that can be opened via the toolbox' camera option and if so, how to accomplish that? I am referring to the camera views that can be opened via the Ins key by default. Any hint will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Hans

    Recently, when I wanted to start my simulator again, the data is not synchronized. I keep getting stuck at this point. I haven't installed or added anything new. I've tried as many things as I can but I can't get any further... I'm happy about every answer. Thanks for your help! [/ur

    Does anyone know the keyboard shortcut to set the trim in the PMDG 737? Also how can you tell the exact value that you're setting it to? It's hard to get the exact value when you have to go off by the trim tape that's on the wheel.

    Hi all On any jet when I look out of a pax view window during cruise I see the window frame flickering constantly, but the view out of the window is fine. I've changed the shadow resolution, and disabled the heat effect from the engines. Was just wondering if this bothers anyone else and if there are any workarounds? TIA

    Is there a way to close a runway for takeoff/landing or to change the runway selection logic? For example, at LIMC runways 17 are used only for a few days in a year but in the sim, more or less, always .. Is there a way to avoid some specific runway from the sim? Thanks Stefano

  11. It's really getting crazy with all these updates, I feel, it really stops u from playing the sim., and enjoy just flying. What is the purpose of having a beta team before the release of an update, such as #9. I never saw any game or simulator with so many updates. I have been flying since the mid 90's and never had this issue. I can understand once in a while u need an update, but this is just getting out of control, every update itseems needs a patch, then why do u have a beta team ? Sorry, folks, I am just venting out, and want to enjoy this fabulous, gorgeous sim. Shortly willl \have PMDG in town, and now we have the Maddog, the BAE 146, the Fenix coming…

    I mainly fly in Europe and suddenly wondered how most pilots note fuel: in lbs or kg? I still find it odd how nm (distance) and ft (altitude) still are the standard over here and not km but I've gotten used to it. I am going to buy the Fenix (waiting for PayPal) and after watching some video's it occured to me I didn't even know what unit I use in Simbrief... (it should be set to the same in the Fenix). I checked and noticed I am using kg. I do suppose that's the standard over here? Been entering block fuel into the MCDU for quite some time without even knowing if it was kg or lbs... But anyway, this means that even though we live in a metric society the only used me…

    I am about a year away from purchasing a new computer which will be a significant upgrade from what I now run. In the mean . time I would like to purchase MSFS . I have a 500 Gb ssd internal drive now which I am using for x plane so I really don't have the space for MSFS. For now I have been looking at the feasibility of running the app on an external drive and I have read conflicting comments about the advisability of doing this. I was thinking about an ssd or an nvme ssd. I am not a techie but I do believe that the interface does affect how well the drive will perform. If I do this I would like to purchase something that would be usable on a new computer. I have a usb p…

    Just a heads up about FS2Crew. I got the information from their newsletter, but the information is also posted on their forum here at AVSIM. I hope it’s okay that I post it here in the MSFS forum (I did a search and could not find a thread about it). Ive been using their product with the FBW, and I’m really excited about upcoming releases for the PMDG and the Fenix. FS2Crew NOTAMs for 20 May 2022 The official FS2Crew Roadmap has been updated in light of all the major new MSFS releases! When it rains, it pours! …

    Hello. I just bought the MOD of the fenix A320 and immediately a problem that I cannot find an answer to. All the controls work, air brake flaps, parking brake except the throttle which just doesn't find a match even inside the simulator: the throttle levers do not move. Can anyone help me? thank you It's no a problem about calibration, the throttle doesn't move!! With a320 FBW works.

    I started this thread in pilot2atc forum but I think it is appropriate for main forum in case someone has come up with a better workaround as this problem started with SU6 and it worse in SU7: I create flt plan with simbrief. I then export to MSFS. I then load the saved plan and everything looks great. As soon as I try to select the departure gate from either dropdown or zoom, the entire flt plan changes. I had not had this problem with earlier sim updates. I believe is it combo of Simbrief and Asobo but not sure. On another forum, this workaround was posted but apparently it does not work always. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/simbrief-fli…
