I haven't used the sinm for a couple of months. Today I loaded the world update and then SU9. Everything seemed ok until I setup a flight from my favorite little airport in Boonville, Ca 4M2. The scenery has always been remarkably realistic, but now it is totally wrong. Generic buildings, missing nearby hills,etc. I don't know if this happened with yhe world update or su9. Anyone have any ideas what might have happened. BTW ...I am not using any scenery add-ons, just the standard. Thanks

If when we are using the SDK for scenery design, I know we can use Shift and LMB for precise movements on the Translate part of the Gizmo. Is there a more precise shortcut for the Rotate part? Would be very handy. Also, anyone know of a shortcut for Duplicate?..now that would be a great time saver. Thanks in advance for any help…

I have always dreamt about of having an all-in-one package, and the Fenix A320 brings it one step closer in that regards. What I mean is that you do not have to leave the sim to do anything. Everything that you need is there and included in the plane. What I'm referring to is the EFB. Gone are the days where you need a separate app running for each and every thing. I used to have to open PFPX for my flight planning, and TOPCAT for my calculations, and so forth. Having to TAB out back to the desktop and back into the sim really kills the immersion for me. The only thing that I wish was part of the EFB or sim, would be a full-fledged and feature packed flight planner like S…

Having bought almost 200 addons in FSX/P3D and having only used or installed half of them, I resolve that I will only buy these high detail payware add-ons in MSFS2020. So help me God. 3 small and mid-sized business jets (0% done) - a Lear, a Phenom, ...? 3 tools add-on (33% done) - traffic and ...? 3 GA twin props (33% done) - something from A2A and ? 20 airports (75% done) - 5 additional airports for an around the world trip ie. airports across the oceans, Middle-East and Asia

When I try to launch msfs as I always have, I get stuck on an update screen that does not change and the sim never starts up. If I run as administrator, it seems to run fine. I would like to start as before since running as administrator effects the marketplace for some reason. Anyone see this on their systems and is there a way to fix it short of a re-install? Thanks, LouP

Just a heads up to prior Version KBUR purchase customers, this product will not automatically update in the ORBX App, you need to uninstall V1, then go to store page and choose KBUR V2 which will appear as FREE. Here I was waiting for the update to que any day thinking it was still in ORBX's storefront process waiting to post, but you have to do it manually to receive V2.

I’ve been a flyby wire A320 fan for a very long time and I still love this aircraft. I’ve purchased the PMDG 737 for some variety and what an amazing aircraft this is. I’m still getting my head around some of the differences. my flights to date have been using and ILS approach, I’m disengaging autopilot when I’m close and have good visual. My question is how or what should I be doing to reduce speed before touchdown? Do I need to disengage autothrottle or what is the process exactly

ok hmm probably a very stupid thread, sorry in advance 🙈 now that we have 'study level' aircraft (which i really enjoy and find great so this thread is not a complaint at all, just an interrogation) i was wondering about some limitation in the 'game physics' or if it's just me making up things. So last night i took my fresh new beloved pmdg 737 aircraft and did a somewhat stupid test : - went to EGLC (small runway probably not certified for 737 i guess) - put full pax / cargo - put full fuel (aircraft is now way above max take-off weight) - set flaps to 0 (yeah crazy) - put throttle to full without even using the toga switch --> result no prob, …

Hello, I'm a new user of FS2020 and I've noticed two glaring issues (no pun intended): 1) All airport runway edge lights stay on 24 hrs a day instead of turning off/on at dusk and dawn or reduced visibility conditions. 2) Runway edge lights are curiously not visible at all from side views, i.e., when flying a normal traffic pattern during downwind. It's really quite impossible to fly a normal traffic pattern when one can't see the runway at night. ;) Are these two lighting conditions something users simply must learn to accept or will a fix be available sometime in the future? Thank you.

I recently purchased LatinVFR's LEBL from the market place and noticed that the installation had placed it into "OneStore" folder rather than the Community Folder, where I would prefer it to be, so I moved it there. However, I'm guessing that there's more to this than a simple move as I then noticed a very regular, but significant momentary dip in FPS once every approx two seconds and Content Manager then showed LEBL as not installed. Moving it back to "OneStore" reverted things back to normal again. I'm thinking that perhaps I could make a copy of the installation folder, delete said installation within Content Manager, then move the copied installation folder…

I was doing flight planning in the game and getting it to match my Simbrief plan today and was looking for NAVAIDS and in the past I have been able to search for those NAVAIDS in the search box. Well now when I search in the Search box all I get is airports. Can anyone confirm or reject that this is happening to them, I have been troubleshooting for about an hour but I don't want to get too deep into the weeds if this was a SU 9 issue. Also, can you check to see if Guadalajara airport has any Arrivals or Departures or runways available? It only shows direct for me and automatic with no runway numbers. AS you can see I am seaching for SEBON but it dose not find it even t…

Interesting: I was trying to find on the FSUIPC forum if the autosave function in MSFS works. I came up to different topic and it seems that HiFi is trying to do sth with AS in MSFS it seems. Here is link to the post: https://forum.simflight.com/topic/94608-can-an-additional-custom-autosave-option-be-added/ Dave post from HiFi: Interesting, maybe HiFi would be able to somehow bring AS into MSFS (in similar way as REX?). Just posting as a curiosity, the default weather engine is very good in my opinion atm.

Hello, When I'm in flight in (MSFS) and I need to stop this flight, the 'esc' key does not work. On the other hand in the lobby of the various menus I can leave a menu 'esc' is ok. I did not find any 'item' exit in the keyboard shortcuts! I have a keyboard: Fr Azerty And I also have other racs that don't work: - Restart part = key 'origin' = it does not work and even if I put another shortcut! -Restart free flight same problem. Thanks for your help.

Initially the sim is completely smooth and stutter free, but after about an hour of flying it seems like FPS drop and things start to stutter, especially during approach and landing. If I restart the sim the process starts all over again. Is anyone else seeing this?

I don't have Simbrief/Navigraph , [probably should], but in the meantime can someone give me the STARS code for the circular approach into Osaka (RJOO), ILS 32L, when you are arriving from the North or East & need to do that long right hand curving run in? Thanks T45
