Is there a way to do multiple legs on a flight. If so how???. I am flying short flight on the TBM in Canada. Start off at A, fly to B. clear the flight plan on the ground at B. Enter a new flight plan B to C. Fly this leg. The log shows the flight from A to C with 2 T/o's @ 1 landing. Also is it possible to enter a different altitude for the second leg. or in any case do I have to go back to the flight plan screen and reenter the second leg as a new flight plan.

Hi, I desperately need help. The last update went off without a hitch, but turning the flight simulation on the following day it does not want to play. I have the 10 disc premium deluxe version. I have over four days now, completely uninstalled, including my community, reinstalled the 10 discs. Completed the full online update. MSFS starts up, I can get into the main screen, select a aircraft and flight. The Sim starts off as normal then it fails to respond and sits with the blue bar three quarters across the base of the screen. On Ctrl Alt Del, the task manager shows MSFS is not responding, I have CPU percentage but No GPU. My system is…

Have these goflight modules. Reading all the thread, do this do that, get that third party stuff. In my opinion Goflight is dead. Would be great if Asobo could get to develop the Goflight interface for MSFS2020 Take it over. I believe it would not take them ong to get it working. Great programmers they have

A Halloween special. A bit of fun but very well done. With a video by Immersive VR. The Aliens dancing to Thriller at the end is pure class! Joking aside, it shows just what can be done in the sim. The Cougar Basin addon is over at flightsim.to https://flightsim.to/file/9140/cougar-basin-pz12-idaho-playground With the Halloween addon pack here. https://flightsim.to/file/19977/cougar-basin-pz12-halloween-add-on-pack

So just took off in the FWB A320 and a minute into the flight I get a big warning that the cabin altitude is beyond some limit and we're all gonna die. However checking the cabin altitude it's at a smooth 2200' msl and holding steady. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks!

I've been in what I call "tinkering" mode with MSFS since it was released last year. Doing a little GA flying checking out the beautiful scenery, and messing around with the SDK. I was annoyed with the lack of a fully VNAV / LNAV capable airliner as well as the game like feel of it overall. I haven't bought any add-ons or even downloaded any freeware. I've got the FBW a320 and Navigraph data & charts installed. That's it. To be fair, I stopped flying in P3D as well. I just basically took a break while watching all of the commotion in this forum. When I noticed the complete change in the tone of this forum after SU6, I decided to take another look. All I can say i…

Hello, Want to thank all who have giving me help and tips in dealing with the autopilot issue for the Flybywire A32NX and hopefully I found what could have cause the issue I have been having.......with the AP disengaging........ Like I mention before I have uninstalled MSFS2020 and reinstalled it, calibrated my TCA quadrant and Stick many times and different detents. I decided to check the drivers for the TCA quadrant....notice that even though MSFS2020 recognize the TCA quadrant, Windows gave me a msg saying it did not recognize the quadrant. So what I did was obvious uninstalled the TCA drivers ect. and reinstalled it again and that seem to work thu…

Does anyone know what on earth is going on here? This just started with SU6. Going through all my preflight checklists, prepping the aircraft, etc…everything is fine. Once I’m airborne, a pilot avatar appears in the seat, and all of my gauges start flickering and going berserk, my avionics (GTN750) revert back to the default radio stack, and I get double mixture / throttle levers. Community Folder is very small, with only addons that have been verified compatible with SU6 per Flightsim.to. Hoping someone else knows the exact solution before I start aimlessly troubleshooting.

I rarely fly any of the default planes anymore, I was just wondering which ones have gotten better and are now flyable, and which ones haven't. I watched the MSFS flight lesson the other night on Twitter, and they were flying the G1000 NXi modified C-172 from Paine Field KPAE. Official MSFS: Flying Lessons C172 G1000: AP functions - Twitch Later after updating the scenery I tried the flight on my own. Made me wonder about some of the other planes I never fly...

Problem: Started MSFS2020 today and had the dreaded "Press any button to start" and could not load the sim. Searched google with plenty of content re the issue, but none helped. Solution: After some thought I considered what had changed since yesterday when it was all working "Light Bulb Moment". Last night was daylight savings here so the clocks went back 1 hour. Returned back to my Windows PC and sure enough the clock was incorrect, though I had set it to auto configure. A sync with time and MSFS 2020 is back to working again :). Hopefully this might save some of you time if you have the same problem.

Is there a way to modify the flight plan in the G1000 after its loaded. In other words, delete a way point, or enter a way point? In PROC, select approach, showing a STAR in the list. Select a STAR but can not delete a Transition. You are forced to select one of the transitions showing. Thought I could get by that by selecting a transition, then all I would have to do is delete it from the list when I select FPN. But you can't edit the flight plan in the G1000. Or is there a way to edit it?

My daughter was in the Northeast this week visiting friends. She was flying back to Atlanta on SWA, and she took off from Bradley Intl in CT and flew to KBWI on he first leg . I decided to fire up the DC6, and take off from KBDL about 10 minutes before her flight left. Weather was miserable, raining, no vis, climbed to 7000, and still in the overcast. Finally I broke out about half way to Baltimore, and around 40 miles from landing, I saw the SWA flight she was on because I use Real traffic all the time. It was her flight number 340, and it was setting up for landing on runway 10, the same runway I was landing on. The sim was about 10 minutes delayed, so when I texted her…

I should qualify that by saying do you find yourself more apt to set settings so high that you have to stop the sim to readjust in midflight, in order to enjoy the improved IQ when it's possible to do so? Or have you adjusted settings to accommodate the highest demand scenario you will ever find yourself in so as not to have to ever stop and adjust in midflight? I've just recently started the latter, I guess mostly because it's taken me this long to learn where the optimal setpoint it. And focused mostly on LOD-Terrain slider as I've kept everything else at Ultra. So far, with I9-9900K@ 4.8gHz, 3440x1440 vsync 30, all other sliders at Ultra, Texture SS 8x, AF 16…

It happens again. I get a CTD when I move the battery switch. Using the "Alt B" hotkey doesn't help either. Is there a way to avoid this w/o disabling WT G3000?

Since SU5 there is some banding (or rasterized color transitions) in the sky , clouds now often appear "artistic", as there seems to be a reduced variation in and between light and dark areas. Also the clouds tend to show pink and yellow/greenish banding/fringes. A purple pattern is discernable all over the screen but most noticeable in the sky. The cause of this is unknown to me, but according to some threads I have read it seems reasonable to assume that there have been changes to the render engine of MSFS, probably involving a reduced or compressed color palette. You think you are not affected? Try this: Check the reflection of the sun on the world map a…
