    Hi After knowledge of more than one year in MSFS, I would like to know if we might win something in performance if we add more 32 GB of RAM. Sceneries are sometimes heavy. Thanks.

    Hi, When the parking break is on and I pause/unpause the game via ESC, the parking breaking break will remove itself. Anyone got the same issue?

    So, having sat up all night pressing F5, I got the MSFS 737 in the air nice and early. I've been streaming over at the MSFS discord, where it's entirely possible I may have been chatting to some of you, as a couple of people wanted a distraction from the sad view of the broken PMDG website. It's now 8 am, and I thought I'd let you know my thoughts before I head into work, looking a little tired and bedraggled, but happy... 🙂 Here are some things that people seemed to be interested in over on the MS site: Aesthetics - cockpits and wing views. Wing views are not a feature I've ever used, but hey - here they are. Actually looks quite nice. The…

    Buried in the C310 thread is this great recommendation by @Ohmsquare https://github.com/FS2020-USER-TESTER/KAP140-MOD-PACKAGE I was going to code up a little mod to turn off the autopilot modes when shutting down the autopilot, but this mod does it, and much more.. worth a look!

    I seem to remember the fix is fairly simple, something about the mouse binding, but not being able to use the mouse to move around to select airports is a real pain. Regards, Ray

    I usually fly from SABE (aeroparque Buenos Aires), and since some time ago, I can see trees over the runway.- It happens either with photogrametry set initially at off or on.- I can fix momentarily the issue changing that setting, consequently enabling or disabling Photogrametry according its initial state. Sadly, the fix is only transitory, as I experience the same situation each time I fly again from that airport.

  12. Yesterday I pushed the latest FBW installer, and with it not only the A32N but also the Salty 748i. After watching some videos I became aware of Ambitous Pilot's Toolbar Pushback, and also installed it. Tried the Toolbar Pushback with the Salty 748i, and t worked ( well, although during the pushback planning I tend to lose the aircraft icon and get lost and have to initiate Manual Pushback instead ) but it had no impact on performance. Strangely with the "Experimental" version of the NEO during the pushback the FPS started to decay severely, the simulator acted strangely, with everything I did taking several seconds to take place in the sim ? Do you kn…

    Anybody "still" having this issue?... Not being able to change the weather and time during save flights. And the reason I said "still" is because this has been an issue for many many people for about two years now and it has been reported to Zendesk and Asobo hundreds of times...yet Asobo has completely turned a deaf ear on this...at least so it is for me anyway as you can see below my weather icon is greyed out in my saved flight. I have been reading multiple posts about this issue...and most of these posts are from one to two years ago...you mean to tell me that in two years time Asobo has not fixed this yet?... Some people have suggested editing the…

    Anyone interested in improved sounds for their Maddog FTSIm (Patreaon costs between £2-£4 pm ) now has new Wwise sounds.And access to a number of Wwise sounds for other MSFS aircraft. There is a bit of knowledge required to get the pack installed, so if your not confident with accessing files etc, best give it a miss. Here

  18. This has happened to me the last few updates, I'm logging into the xbox update, windows is fully updated, I go to the MS store and do the small update in there for MSFS, no issues. I open MSFS, its searches for updates and then pops up with a 131 gig download. Last few times I just said yes, walked away for a few hours, then have to go and redownload all the world updates and other marketplace items. I currently do no have any aftermarket downloads in the community folder, just running a stock MSFS since it was launched. My install path is all default and I've got it pointing there. Will post a screenshot when I figure out how.

  21. I have TM Hotas Warthog controller which have two throttle levers. If a plane got more than two engines like for example the Concorde there is an issue. I don't have throttle levers for all engines. How do you resolve this issue ? In P3D I can assign a button to select a specific engine or all engines with a single throttle control. As far I can see this is not possible in MSFS. So what options do we have here ?

  22. All I'm currently running the experimental version and attempting to follow the below YouTube tutorial regarding VNAV Managed Climbs/Descents, in particular, the exact same LAM5P SID out of Gatwick. Flight plan is loaded via SimBrief with the LAM5P SID entered via the MCDU. Superficuially, my F-PLAN appears as per the video. However, unlike the video, I cannot get any speeds showing up. All of the Alt Contraints are where they should be and marked with magenta astras, but no speeds.Hence, (I believe), I have no level off arrows ahowing or TOC / TOD markers ? I'm pretty sure that everything else in the MCDU is setup as it should be, PERF, INIT, etc. However,…

  23. I usually do initial flight-planning in SimBrief, then import it into Navigraph to verify STARs, approach transitions, etc. I then import the FP saved thru Navigraph into the MSFS flight Planner after starting the sim. Once in the aircraft, no matter which nav system was being used (g1000, g3000, other, etc.) the approach and transitions I selected in Navigraph were in the FP exactly as I had chosen. Now, that's usually not the case. It appears since SU9 that the flight planner continually ignores the original Navigraph approach transition and inserts its own? Now, this hasn't caused any big issues, but its rather frustrating to have to reset the approach transit…

  24. Hi , i just bought KLAS and was wondering what FPS you have? Performance for me in the Maddog on ground is not the best. 19-26 at best. Not really any differents day or night. Is T-LOD the best way to increase performance? Vram is about 10gb 4k scaled at 70. Thanks Michael Moe
