    I'm not even sure how to ask this question because I have limited knowledge of 'colorspace'. This question stems from the fact that, on my system and many other people's systems, clouds now have odd pinks and bluegreens and purples much more prevalent than before SU5. In trying to improve my situation I was looking at UserOpt.cfg and I noticed that the setting HDR10 was set to zero which makes sense for my system but before SU5 it was set to '1'. I tried changing it but it didnt help. My system includes an older non HDR10 monitor and I never thought the monitor would make much difference except to me and what I see. Some people seem unaware that if you can ca…

    I wouldn't be surprised if the new update broke something, and if so, I'm sure the FBW team will fix it. I just updated to 1.10.7.0 (and moved my addons from Community before updating) and have been using FBW 0.4.0, and I loaded a flight from EGLL to BIKF. From cold and dark, I turned on the batteries and ext pwr, and flipped the switches to align the IRS. The 2 issues that I noticed were: The MCDU screen was blank EICAS showed "nav tcas fault" and showed no message about the time left for IRS alignment The PFD was blinking on and off Anyone else seeing issues? Or is it just me?

    Definitely a post SU6 issue for me as I just did several flights last Sunday. Latest version of experimental or stable, same behavior. I take off, turn on AP1 start following the nav path and all of the sudden AP turns off, auto throttle gets stuck and I'm unable to do anything. One thing I haven't tried is to completely remove FBW from the community folder.

    I have been using the developers version of the 32nx for many months now but today I downloaded the latest update and when I opened FS2020 the skin was showing in the world page but when I loaded in a flight it was not there on the tarmac so I backed out of the game and went to the community folder to check and it was in there I tried deleting the folder then reloading it but still the same thing so I tried loading the stable version and got the same results I have even tried moving every file from the community folder and just loading the 32nx in case an add on was causing the issues, but still no joy. Can you please advise me what to do If I go to the h…

    I've watched a lot of videos of people using Stream Decks with MSFS and it looks amazing. My only concern is that it takes away from normal (cockpit) interaction with controls. If I set up a Stream Deck correctly, I will basically never have to move around the cockpit and handle controls again, for any aircraft I set up. That seems to be a negative in a lot of ways. Does anyone here use Stream Deck and to what degree?

    Well it's me again. I just cant seem to find anything in this sim. I have been in flight sims from 1982 and could find my way around every one of them up to FSX and P3D, but this file tree is baffling. Looking for the key stroke to open and close doors on all aircraft. In particular the Beech Model 99 I just bought from the Market Place. I have a printed copy of all the key strokes for the sim, but there is nothing for opening or closing doors there. I can't find any Operating Manual for this, or any other plane in the Official file in the sim. Surly there must be operating manuals for the different planes. Thanks

    Unfortunately I didn't save a screenshot when I was cleared behind two other planes going into KSEA 16L. This was after a go-around due to traffic and coming back into 16L ATC told me I was cleared for #3 to land at 16L. Remarkable on the first pass when ATC decided it was too close for comfort so gave my B787-10 HD the go-around which we did then came back to the same approach transition per ATC instruction to land #3. Anyway, just remarkable never had anything like that in FSX/P3D. Rain and dense clouds all the way in with limited visibility it was eerie to see the other planes and having to rely on TCA and ATC to get down safely. From KDEN towards KENMO transi…

    FS2020 SU6 1.20.6.0 Working Title G3000 version 0.7.6 Navigraph Account Linked When I enter any 4 letter airport code like KONT, KRIV, KLAX the MFD will show Navigraph charts without any issues. But if I enter a 3 letter/number airport code like F70 or L35 while those airports do have charts available in Navigraph the WT G3000 MFD will not show the charts. I just get a blank screen although the chart is selected on the PFD/MFD controller screen. Can anybody else confirm this behavior? Is it something I missed in the known bugs? Todd

  15. Just wondering am I the only one after SU6 that can't turn the AH Spitfire on the ground anymore? When I move the rudder peddles in a turn they return back to the neutral position while I'm still holding them left or right. Makes turning almost impossible.

    I have a problem with rolling cache that I believe started with SU5 and continues with SU6. I can not reduce it's size. I had it at 8 in the past and bumped it up to 16. I can not go back to 8, even if I delete the cache. The sim tells me the number is smaller. Has anyone figured a way to reduce it's size since SU5? EDIT: Stupid CRS kicking in. I was simply turning rolling cache off thinking that deleted the file then turning it back on and setting the size. Scrolling a little I saw I actually have to Delete the file. Once that was done, then turning it back on and setting it to 8 worked.

    I have not looked at SU6 myself yet but I thought this was a great compare Vid. For me the big one is at 3:33 LOD 400 looks great and the 3:33 compare really shows how much better 400 looks over 200. What are you guys useing ? 200? 300? 350? or 400? The first bit of the vid is night lighting thats huge with 400 also.

    Starting a topic so we all are informed as to what's broken after SU6 (haven't had much time to test before the servers came down): 1. Looks like the old G36 turbo mod is broken - Loading that aircraft up has you sitting in the external model versus the cockpit. 2. The WT G3000 is not playing well with the Longitude. Soon as the power is turned on there's a warning bell you can't shut off.

    Went to fly the Seminole this morning, and the GPS display would not come on. Restarted PC, got out my rabbits foot, burned some incense, restarted MSFS, and still dead as a door nail. Then I checked on Flightsim.to and I see the PMS 50 mod has been updated within the last day or two. I downloaded it and installed it, and now the 530 lights up... 😀 Guess that would affect anyone running this mod. https://github.com/pimarc/pms50-gns530#gns530-mod
