This past two days I cannot get NAV1, NAV2 etc to work. I can select the frequencies, but somehow they are not being picked up. I have tried the default planes and I use addon linker to ensure mods are not being used. It is not picking up the localiser or the approach, thus something has happened which baffles me! Has anyone had this, or knows how to rectify it. Please let me know. Thanks Martin

this post is devoted to the wonderful developers at WorkingTitle https://www.workingtitle.aero/ who keep giving us these awful, constant updates that nobody wants and nobody needs because as research has shown, MSFS is a toy and game and so on, therefore here are some short stories for the high score gamers among us: Garmin G1000 NXi Pilot's Manual 478 pages https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1392161/Garmin-G1000-Nxi.html Garmin G1000 NXI Cockpit Reference Manual 220 pages https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1873896/Garmin-G1000-Nxi.html Related Manuals for Garmin G1000 NXi https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1426111/Garmin-G1000-Nxi.html "…

This morning, I completed a short flight from KFLL to KDCA with the FBW A320 and marveled at a number of improvements this year has seen in MSFS, most of which have been freeware. Taking off from RWY 10 L, I overflew Fort Lauderdale harbour with its numerous cruise ships and felt... my eyes getting wet... fifty years ago I was officer on a cruise ship rotating out of FLL each winter during six months, obviously many things changed since then, but I could recognise where my ships berthed and the cruise terminal (thanks to MSFS satellite image), and the entrance bordered on the North side by condominiums where residents were waving flags at us when moving in or out... …

I've never had a CTD ever with MSFS2020. However, since I updated my video drivers yesterday, I can't get into a flight without a CTD. Anyone else experiencing a problem with the new drivers?

I know this is a fairly niche inquiry but is anyone aware or heard anything about plans to improve the aircraft lighting. I'm a GA flyer mostly and the aircraft lighting (strobes and beacons specifically) are erm.... underwhelming to say the least. Almost impossible to see and incredibly faint anytime that is not nighttime. I think back how to A2A's Shockwave lights addon basically transformed the look and feel of aircraft lighting in FSX and I guess just miss that level of impressiveness, relatively speaking. Don't get me wrong I think Asobo nailed the beacons on the tubeliners. Does anyone recall hearing anything in any of the dev Q&A sessions about the aircraf…

Does anyone have an FBW Simbrief profile or specs to create one? When I pick the NEO in simbrief, for example, and load a full plane, it gives more pax then what FBW can handle. So in the MCDU W/B page, I get an error until I keep reducing the number of pax. It would be helpful for CI and fuel burn as well. Any help would be great!

Hello, Since latest update I noticed that I can only change amount of fuel via the tablet inside the cockpit. When changing it in the msfs weight menu , with the slider, it keeps jumping back to previous amount. So I change it om the tablet. But in the mcdu the zfw is always shown as the empty weight of the aircraft...(aprox 42 tons, something like that. ) regardless the amount of payload I set. Someone also have this , and why / how to fix this ? Thnx.

They did it again! Exterior is 767-400ER, but interior is B777! They also disabled to comment post about release on Facebook One word: pathetic https://captainsim.net/products/m764/m764/ The 764 Captain package delivers a digital replica of the Boeing 767-400ER wearing Captain Sim House livery. The 767-400ER features a 21.1-foot (6.43 m) stretch over the 767-300, for a total length of 201.25 feet (61.3 m). The wingspan is also increased by 14.3 feet (4.36 m) through the addition of raked wingtips. The exit configuration uses six main cabin doors and two smaller exit doors behind the wings, similar to certain 767-300ERs. Other differences include …

I ran into an issue while trying a few different flights yesterday in the latest Beta but I don't think the Beta caused the issues I had. The day before I had finally set up a folder structure in my Addons folder, sorting all my Addons into different categories. Then yesterday every flight I tried with the 172 G1000 and the Baron, both usiing the NXI version of the G1000, had some weird entries in the flightplan that were over 10,000 miles from the proposed plan. I started looking into a cause this morning. When I pulled up the Addon Linker I noticed I now had a bunch of "ghost" links showing in the right window. I went back to the Addon Folder and they were not showing t…

In FSX you used to be able to hit 'Q' and mute the program.. I can't find a feature like this in MSFS. Does it exist? I'm trying to fly and watch TV during cruise on longer sectors.

EDIT: I'm getting old, and my mind fuzzy 😕 For sure it was me selecting the wrong Airbus, and I did it twice ... But will check later today ! Installed the "installer" and pushed both the stable and the dev releases, but when I try to find the Tablet, there's nothing but the support there ?

Refuel / Air station. Barstow California desert highway 395. Can't have pilot inside, can't have prop turning. I don't know about the top warning (doesn't look like the no smoking signs I've seen). But you are encouraged to do 2 things down by the wheels, one is use a chock, not sure the other.

I was wondering what thoughts are about subscribing to Beautiful Model of the World. The airports look very nice, and it appears to be a one time $30 charge. I am thinking about doing it but I am curious as to whether folks thing it is worth it. It seem very reasonable on the surface, so I am just looking for a little nudge before opening up the wallet. Cheers, Pete

Just downloaded the new public beta testing version of Microsoft Flight Simulator v1.21.17.0 where TrackIR was supposed to be fixed. Now, when I press the "Ready To Fly" button I am spawned with my view looking straight down at my seat, and re-centering TrackIR 5 with the F12 key, or hitting the "F" button or "CNTL-SPACE" to Resit Cockpit View does not change my view. I am stuck looking straight down at my seat. My TrackIR 5 is working fine in IL-2 Great Battles, IL-2 1946 BAT Pegasus, and Rise of Flight. Here is a pic of what I see that I posted on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Forum...

Wonder if some of the weather problems are arising from metars with human augmentation and others close by with no human augmentation. Just an idea I thought I would throw out there. Happy Landings, Josh
