At 4:54 there is a chopper, i assume it's an Airbus Helicopters one. Question is: is it a teaser? Or it's the Hype model which just randomly ended up in an official video?

After the update, my system seems to be running just fine with one exception. Using the C172, and after getting taxiing instructions from "Ground" and stopping short of the active RW, I asked for takeoff clearance from "Tower," The verbal reply is very weird. Tower starts to give me clearance using the normal expected verbiage, but about 1/2 way through the response it it adds some strange words and numbers (including the word microsoft) that don't seem to make any sense, but after that it does clear me for takeoff. When I hit (1) to acknowledge the clearance, the response says the correct clearance without repeating those weird words and numbers. Has anyon…

First off I'm really enjoying the air race mod by Asobo. At first didn't like how the P51's were done (canopy doesn't open, switches not functioning correctly, etc) but after seeing all their individual quarks and pluses they are actually quite nice. So far that's the only pack I bought. That being said how did the forest at Reno Stead get past beta? Reno Stead's course is cactus laden desert not trees, the perfect site for an air race. I could have sworn in previews there wasn't a forest there. Asobo needs to get ride of the excess trees where the course is located.

Hello all, I think the default setting for the right click on the mouse is the ability to pan the view (around the cockpit or around the airplane when external). However, I couldn't find that setting listed, and I want to assign it to my yoke HAT switch. Does anyone know the wording (pan view) for that?

Since SU7 my rtx 3090 spools up when en route over the desert at FL360. Fan Speed of GPU is around 1700rpm. Before the update it was quite en route. Mostly 800-900rpm. Is this a known issue? It's annoying and seem unnessary.

So after I went through the setup process ~1week ago, updating to the latest version 1.1.0.57 constantly gave me the message that I should move the OCI directory to another location (due to subfolder or path caracter length or somethig simmilar). So I tried to do that by the function "Move Directory" within AIG Manager, which failed and gave me 4 steps to do: 1. Backup OCI Folder I could not find any option to back up the folders / ACFT / FPLN so I simply ZIPped the folder in the Community and moved it away --> is this the Backup or do I indeed miss an option???? 2. Remove OCI folder by checking if it is in MSFS Content Manager --> it was …

Hi all, in the previous SU version I allways had set "Sharpen = 0" in PostProcess section in UserCfg.opt, because with default setting "Sharpen = 1" the sharpenning effect is absolutely overshooted. But now, with every MSFS start, UserCfg.opt is owerwritten to default value "Sharpen = 1". Is there any way to set it to "Sharpen = 0"? I tried set attributes of UserCfg.opt file to "read-only", but unfortunately without effect. It looks, if file attributes are set to "read-only", MSFS ignore this file and use default internal parameters (with "Sharpen = 1" of course). So do anyone some tips to fix it? Thank you!

HI all, SO, after a lot of VFR flying in MSFS, I wanted to do a " long haul". Took my FBW a320 from Nigeria to AMS during a workday. Take off, all smooth, some bumpy air above the Sahara, I continued working. Checked back, airborne time was around 3 hours..and it stopped responding. It stopped. Any tips on how to troubleshoot this? Cheers Victor

While I have no inside knowledge about the release date of the PMDG 737, I'm wondering whether the release was delayed until feedback could be gathered about MSFS' handling of DX12. Is it possible that the PMDG 737 might available itself of DX12 options? If this is the case, then I'm not optimistic about a 2021 release for the 737.

I wonder if a lot of simmers using the so called "google map replacement for mfs2020". I have seen a thousands of simmers have downloaded the MOD from flightsim.to but no body has mentioned about this weather it's good, bad or have put a screenshot on any forum. Is this legal to use the MOD because I have been trying to find out how to use the MOD or how to configure an ini or proxy file. If this is not illegal then some users of this MOD can share their experience with others With Regards

With the new version of AI Manager v1.1.0.54 it's constantly nagging me to relocate my folder when launching the app. Since I am using MSFS Addons Linker. Can someone please walk me through the exact steps on what to do? I have all my addons installed in D:\Community Addons\ and I have made a folder called Traffic inside there that I would like to place aig-aitraffic-oci-beta folder. I know someone told me how to do this with the older version of AI Manager, but since this is a newer version, I just want to be sure I'm doing this step correctly. I would hate to start all over again and redownload all the flight plans. Do I just manually move my aig-aitraffic-oci…

Hi, I have a basic question that has me scratching my head since MSFS came out. With all airplanes in the sim, when you push the trim switch that you have assigned on your hardware up or down, the airplane nose moves up or down accordingly and right away. However, with the B-787 & the A-320, when you press the switch, nothing seems to happen even though you can see the value change on the instrument panel. The only way to change the pitch is to push the Yoke or Side Stick to the desired pitch angle. At this point, when you let go of the Yoke, the plane will stay at that pitch angle''.......it's as if the Yoke is acting as the switch to trim the plane! Every othe…

I thought I saw somewhere that there would be a separate tree range slider in this patch, but I cannot find it. I guess it hasn't been implemented?

We are heading into summer in the southern hemisphere but with FS2020 live weather we still have snow at Milford Sound in New Zealand and ice floes in the sound itself - been like that for months whenever I go there in the sim. With REX weather enabled it is much more realistic - low cloud and heavy rain like it is most of the time in that part of the world. Bruce

A few hours playing Reno, and I got, again, very disappointed with the default flight dynamics in MFS. The Pits, the T-6 and the P51D variants are... well... All but the L-39, I found the racers so so so arcadish that I really would rather not have spent the $29 on that "soft" Reno package. The Pitts, the P51D and the Texan, well, remind me that even War Thunder can feel way better and more realistic than MFS when it comes to flight dynamics. Thanksfully there's the PMDG DC-6, which I did enjoy although I have to admit haven't loaded for quite a while but has that sophisticated taste that PMDG has long accustomed their users to enjoy, and miraculously even some …
