  1. I installed the mod in Xtreme Prototypes' Learjet 25D running in MSFS 2024 and WIndows 10 using the payware version of PMS50 (I don't know if the mod will work on the free version). Mod source: PMS50 GTN GPS Replacements for Older Eyes - Paint Jobs for MSFS | Flightsim.to

    In MSFS2024 i cannot control my rudder its starting point is hard over left, then i can work it a little each way but it returns to hard left which is proving difficult to taxi or fly. has anyone had the same problems, its a thrust master Rudder/Brake set. The brakes work fine.

    I have recently had huge problems with my mouse, it worked in exterior mode but once in cockpit i lost it, i tried different things id asked but nothing works to the extent i now have nothing at all mapped to my mouse. Is there a reset or repair for the mouse, or even a detailed list of what the mapping default is. I now need to get the settings back to normal and try again. MSFS2024 is proving a challenge.

  5. Classic jet fans, this one's for you. Today I'm taking the iconic (and rare) Air India Lockheed L-1011-500 TriStar with registration V2-LEK out for a full flight. This aircraft has quite the story: one of only two L-1011-500s briefly wet-leased by Air India. Painted in the beautiful "Palace in the Sky" livery, it operated short-haul and European routes. Later in life, V2-LEK ended up as an artificial reef — deliberately sunk in the Red Sea off Aqaba, Jordan in 2019, where it now serves as a unique scuba diving site and coral habitat. But today, she's back in the air in stunning Air India colors — thanks to the brand new IniBuilds L-1011 TriStar fo…

    Finally the mod is updated for the new sim. Get it here.

    Is there any reason why photogrammetry should cause my rig to stutter on some days and not on others? Even getting GPU usage warnings. Flying Paris to Copenhagen. Smooth take off, stutter fest coming into Copenhagen, but fine once I turned it off. Have never had problems with it previously

    My most played aircraft has been the SWS Kodiak 100. For 2 years now. A few weeks before last XMAS holidays (2024), we were encouraged to expect the new MS2024 version in short time. I now have switched over to MS2024, while monitoring the progress, and lack thereof, of this elusive update. I have no reason to expect this to ever happen, but would relish the thought of being proved wrong. Look at the calendar. And look at all the new products being gushed about on their Discord site. I'm not a fan of internet "AI", but here's what 'they' say about my predicament regarding the Kodiak: "SimWorks Studios (SWS) may have recently paused updates to the Kodiak, potentiall…

  9. Dear flight friends, I know this has been a discussion in the past but since a couple of weeks I've given reshade another chance because the nvidia filters app kept crashing. In broad daylight the scenery looks extremely bland and dull from within my Pmdg 737. The outside view is a lot better. Tried a lot of reshade settings and plugins but with very little result. I also use Rex Atmos which helps in some situations. Compared to P3D and xp12 it looks like a bucket of bleach is spread over the surface. Is there another way to make the scenery look less dull in msfs 2020? Any suggestions would be welcome. Tnx Joze…

    Quite a number of us are having disastrous problems with the iniBuilds iniManager. We can't download, we can't installl, we can't update, nothing. The program either gets stuck in a loop, or crashes. We have tried all the suggestions given us, such re-installation of the manager, turning off AV, you name it nothing works. There are numerous posts on the iniBuilds forum about this, but no answers. iniBuilds has been very silent about this. Does anyone know what might be the problem? Lee

    Is anyone, besides me, here in the U.S. having trouble with the WNCTRL website. I keep getting a screen that says, "Bad Gateway". Is this something new, or am I late to the party?

  14. In my opinion the Dash 8 is the greatest commuter turbo flying today. I just can't understand why we don't have one. Is the big glass cockpit a necessity for everyone now? The ATR is nice, but just not up there with the Dash 8.

  15. I am fairly new to this so maybe I am doing something wrong but when I create a flightplan in Simbrief and Import it to msfs24. I then go into Flightfx citation and import from simbrief in the fmc. My route is there but No altitudes or TOD. Just the waypoints. Am I missing a step ? Thanks for any help. Also I do have subscription to Navigraph.

  16. Trying to decide where to fly next was evidently more difficult than my brain could handle, so I decided to take a dive into career add-ons. One thing I have started to figure out is, the add-on you pick is going to have a lot to do with what you want out of your career. Hopefully this post will help anyone in the same position I am in. Built-In MSFS 2024 Career I started off with the built-in career within MSFS 2024, and it was not bad. Clearly Asobo put some time and energy into this, and I think for a lot of people this might be just fine. Not being able to fly any plane I wanted, combined with the state many of the built-in planes were in, plus career bugs,…

  17. They were brighter and easier to view and worked ok for me in other sims but not in MSFS 2024. I'm told they are now not as bright but more realistic in MSFS 2024, but I'd like them to be less realistic and brighter while I practice how to properly land a plane. Is there an app or mod available for PAPI lights? Are PAPI/VASI lights adjustable in MSFS 2024? Mine seem too dim.

  18. I found a solution for this problem After searching for over a month and a half I finally concluded that installing DLSS enabler by Nexus mods https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/757 It removed the strange anomaly associated with the frame generation making your mainthread load up to the point it causes your frames to drop beyond recovery.. this issue was first observed in SU3 beta and somehow made its way to the main release and then was fixed temporarily in SU4Beta but then appeared more aggressively in main release SU4! and was fixed temporarily in the first 2 SU5 Betas and its back in SU5 beta.. it’s safe to say asobo is ignoring it and it baffles me as…

  19. Hi From a running start, I'm enjoying the E175 Experimental - for me, the VNAV is working pretty well, both for climb-to-cruise and descent. And so, I thought it would be even better if I could start from Cold and Dark. But there's a problem - and I think I hit this with the previous beta and not just the new Experimental. The problem is that the aircraft is starting pretty much empty of fuel...to the point I can't even start the engines. This is what the pretty comprehensive (but out of date) FSS Manual says: "How can I add weight & fuel? Navigate to the preflight page in the EFB. You can either import a flightplan from SimBrief which autom…

  20. Hoping for some more current insight into the differences between BATC, SI, Pilot2ATC, and FSHud with respect to using Neofly and MSFS 2020 for mainly VFR flights. A lot of the posts here and on other sites are dated, going back 2-3 years in many cases, so I was looking for some more up to date info before making the purchase decision. Since Neofly starts you off with GA aircraft for the first several hours, I want ATC software that handles flying from uncontrolled to controlled and vice-versa, as the early Neofly missions are mainly cargo flights to fields and other small airports, but can also take you to large international airports as well. Some info - I'm not us…

  21. 'ChasePlane has been updated on 2026-04-07. 2026.15.2.16 This update is required to use ChasePlane with SU5 Betas. It's important to know that MSFS 2024 Betas are released without prior notice, so it's possible that this update will break in future beta releases. Read the blog post about this release: https://parallel42.com/blogs/news/chaseplane-su5b Make sure to review the updated Known Limitations on our wiki. https://parallel42.com/blogs/wiki/chaseplane-known-limitations …

  22. Interesting I recently purchased the Aerosoft/Toliss A340 and decided to test how accurate the Zone temperatures are when sitting at Longybearn in -23C conditions. I would open the rear doors and sit quietly and see if opening individual doors would equate to realistic temperature changes when there is no APU Bleed Air supplied. If you then open one door further forward it seems amazingly accurate as to how it changes within a 30 minute period. The Fenix A320 also seems very accurate with this test even when you open the cockpit window how quickly that space cools . PMDG/Inibuilds A340 unfortunatley does not seem to have the same detail it does not seem to matter wh…

  23. Select additional services, cabin cleaning, says "cleaning in progress" for ages (with no actual cleaning happening). I can't board passengers as it won't let me without resetting GSX. Just stuck. Really frustrating. This is in the PMDG 777

  24. Internet search nothing. EDIT: I actually hear the ATC but very very faint. Thoughts please and thanks!

    I'm thinking of going the SU5 beta route. I read about some improvents and I can't wait to check it out. Is there a reason not to do it?
