I've encountered 2 planes in 20 min already 🙂 Finally, I've missed it. Also, close call... does ATC really warn about traffic when it's so close? 4 miles at 400 knots are nothing.

I have done a quick search in the forum and nobody seems to have posted it before. In case I missed it, I apologize and feel free to delete this post. I found this freeware that generates missions and gives rewards and virtual money with which you can buy higher tier aircraft and progress in your career. https://www.msfsaddons.org/freeware/neofly You can depart from any airport, the software generates missions around you. It also has recorded voices and sound effects, it is actually not bad and is improving my FS experience making it more purposeful and less boring. Give it a try 🙂 Cheers

Hi there, A goodie for the weekend for our cockpit builders and hardware users: We have extended our documentation for the A32NX Flight-Deck and API with a detailed list of vars and events for most of the flight deck controls. Flight Deck A32NX API: https://docs.flybywiresim.com//pilots-corner/a32nx-briefing/a32nx_api/ And to make sure you never miss any significant updates to our documentation again we have created a dedicated announcement channel in our Discord: documentation Set a Discord Notification if you are interested in any significant documentation update. Happy flying.

Hello Gang! I haven't had any CTD's in a very long time until now after installing SU6. All my CTD's so far have happened with the Aerosoft CRJ and flying out of DD's KDCA. Same error - CTD Simconnect Failed to CallDispatch. I updated to SU6 yesterday and so far it's been a very solid update until this started to happen. Any ideas?

TBM has its own issues after the update (continuous alarm with brake applied) but now the PFD attitude display is locked if I attempt to use the WT mod. I just tried a flight with the default g3000 (yuck) but at least I can get a pitch indication.

I asked this question about six months ago and, at that time, the answer was no. But I'll ask it again now, after SU6: Can any of the default aircraft currently adhere to waypoint altitude constraints? I personally fly the Longitude almost exclusively. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but the default Longitude cannot follow the waypoint altitude constraints of the flight plan that MSFS itself generates. I understand there is a mod for the Longitude. I have not yet downloaded it. Does this mod make waypoint altitude constraints possible?

What is the consensus on the best way to reduce the overexposed sky? I've tried with filters applied via Nvidia Freestyle, playing with the parameters in the User.cfg, turning HDR on and off but I can´t find a good solution. Any advice? Especially after SU6, as maybe some settings have changed.

After a few issues with some aircraft and mods, post-SU6 flying is OK for now. However, taxiing is not. Out in a rural area of Brazil for a couple of flights with scenery/models not extensive, taxiing doesn't just stutter - it freezes. I will move for a second or 2, then it freezes, running 3-5 seconds on average. Then, she'll move again for a few seconds, then freezes again - longest freeze was over 10 sec. I've tried varying my video settings from moderate Custom to High and also changed the pre-caching settings from Low to High - a setting of Medium for pre-caching seems to be the best right now but she's still freezing every few seconds so the impact is minim…

As said. Can anyone guide me please? I am trying to disable disable the full-screen optimizations of the MSFS executable file, as recommended here: https://www.flightsimulator.blog/2021/10/19/best-graphics-settings-guide/ After SU6 I can't find the executable in the usual place ...its probably hidden perhaps?

So I would like to have a uniform navigation data ... How can I achieve this ? I use MSFS, P2A and simbrief ... So basically when I make a flight plan in simbrief I import it to P2A then later in the airplane I usually use FMC to import it from SB to the aircraft FMC... I use A320 FBW, modes 787, and salty 747 mod which also allowes you import from SB. Step1 1. Simbrief to P2A is not usually a problem. Step 2. Set up SID and STAR in P2A Step 3. Here's where the problems begin.... Importing the flight plan into FMC usually is not an issue but once I start looking for SID and STAR to match my P2A I often find your that they are not available, many …

I have found, that after the SU6 update, the A.I. routine has trouble finding the taxi route to the active, will taxi through objects, and if you have created a GPS depart/arrival, most likely now, the A.I. can't come onto final and land at the destination airport. A few planes have glitches whereby the G1000 horizon attitude does not animate, while the small back up horizon/attitude functions. Such stuff as that. Not deal breakers to wreck total overall enjoyment, but SU6 did not come away without having broken things that were running fine in SU5. I guess that it will always be this way....things get fixed, and fresh things broken...

I have had long conversations with FBW's support on Discord about this and they say to use their guides etc. But their throttle calibration guide does not provide information on my Hotas Warthog. I can set it up as a normal throttle, no problem, but it cannot take into account the necessity to lift the throttle up and put it over the bar to activate reverse thrust, like it does for all other aircraft that has reverse thrust. There must be owners of the Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog that fly the FBWA320 out there that can provide input. Can you help with this please? Thanks Martin

While we all await a real AI system to emerge I'm curious what settings people are using. What gives you the best experience? I've found the only way to have aircraft depart the gate and taxi for takeoff is to set it to "Live Players."

This has been happening my MSFS installation for several weeks now - purchased and installed 27th August this year. For a month it worked flawlessly, then after a break of some weeks I played the game and this problem occurred. I have no add-ons installed (Community is empty), and everything is up to date. I have fully reinstalled twice since this happened to double check. I have rolled back my GPU drivers to see if a recent update was the problem. This is not a CTD problem, but a FlightSimulato.exe 'Freeze'. Today, after weeks of research, I carried out this possible fix All versions - Stuck on a black loading screen Sadly it had zero effect fo…

So I’ve been out of the sim for a month, got a bit tired of short haul flights all the time. Has there been any movement on 3rd party wide body development? I see so many small prop aircraft being added. I don’t have the box 787 as I didn’t buy that package abs refused to pay 100% more now for one aircraft. 747 is an option but it’s not floating my boat. Out of interest are there add ons like FBW for this? talking of FBW I know there’s been no movement on their A380 as far as expected dates. But accepted next year if we’re lucky. QW: Nothing Mega Pack: A330 is what you’d expect for free Captain Sim is a fancy shell but tempted to go …
