    It's getting real... There's so many new aircraft on the way now for this sim: A2A Comanche, Terrainy RV8/A, Milviz C310, Aerosoft DHC6, PMDG DC6/737, Unannounced King Air C90.... And a few others! There's something for everyone...I believe FlyInside is also doing a turbine helicopter!

  3. I have flown many bush trips without issue and use the auto rudder on the ground as I dont use pedals. A couple of weeks ago I had propblems steering on the runway and when i went to assistance noticed it was all greyed out and I cannot change any of the settings. If I back out of the bush trip and go to controls I can select and save options but when I go back to bush trip they are turned off and greyed out. I havent applied any recent updates and have only downloaded a new user created bush trip so am puzzled as to what has caused this and dont know how to fix it. I have deleted all custom bush trips in case the issue came from that but I stll havent resolved it, can a…

  4. Because we don't have enough historical aircraft comin out today with the P-38 lightining and the Elektra 10 Romantic Wings us releasing their Legendary Aircraft Pack 1 consisting of the A6M5 'Zero' fighter and A6M-N 'Rufe' seaplanes with multiple liveries as well as "the Suwanose Jima (RJX8) airfield on a volcanic island in Japan, the 'AKAGI' and 'KAGA' aircraft carriers which can be landed on, the 'Kamikawa Maru' seaplane tender, other ships such as merchant freighters and trucks and AAA guns" Surprsingly this isn't out on Simmarket, it's on Just Flight who tend to curate their store somewhat better so I'm curious to see how this pack turns out especially as it's …

    Kind of interesting. I'm using it now. Doing about 215 ktas at FL175 or 225 at FL250. Ground speeds over four miles a min! Default plane as O2 anyway, might as well use it.

  9. I had an issue with my tranponder changing numbers randomly, little research revealed that I have to turn off "AI radio communications". I did, it worked. Now I have the issue that my frequency channel is changeing randomly, what make it impossible to fly in VATSIM. a) Is there a know fix for this? b) Why is this appearing from nowwhere, does adobo update the sim without letting us know? Second Question: How can I illuminate the panel where the a/p lever and carb levers are? It's pretty dark there and impossibel to find the a/p lever to turn it on on night flights. Which makes it difficult to activate the autopilot and usally as a single pilot I don't have time to se…

    I started MSFS today and all my labels were turned on, they were definitely off last time I used the sim. I looked at the Assistance Options screen and it was set to ALL ASSIST, I always use TRUE TO LIFE (Hard).

  11. In it's Sept 30, 2021 Feedback Snapshot (Development Update Sept 30, 2021) MSFS lists "Wakes for AI Ships" as a project (Item #20) that is not scheduled for release until 2022. And yet as sold in Orbx's website, developer Seafront's "Vessels: Global Shipping" lists wakes in ships as available now. Is Seafront's implementation of ship wakes working well in MSFS? Thank you. P.S. I'm aware of the freeware version, but I'm hoping tech support with the paid version is more predictable given the current circumstances..

    At first I was pleasantly surprised to hear an English accent ( ATC and pilot ) when flying in the UK even though the British accent was rather strange. The problem I am having is that the accent can change at any time during the flight from American to British or visa versa. I recently was flying over Spain and to my surprise the English accent was heard but then reverted to American. Any idea how I can configure this to be correct ? Thanks

  18. Had a nice smooth uneventful flight from KSAN Rwy 27 in the stock C-172 (G1000). I had seven mods installed including LVFR KSAN. Ended flight with smooth landing again at KSAN Then added SD Water Fix mod to the community folder, I again take off from KSAN Rwy 27 but experience CTD at about 100' AGL / 30-seconds after pressing Ready to Fly I remove SD Water Fix from community folder and restart sim - but now EVERY flight from KSAN Rwy 27 ends with a CTD anywhere from prior to the takeoff roll to 200' AGL. I then remove everything from the Community folder and can again successfully fly off KSAN Rwy 27 with the C-172 (G1000- with NO mods in Community. …

    Hi folks. I use a monitor that supports HDR for MSFS. I set HDR on in Display Properties in Windows 10. Then I start MSFS and the colors are waaay off (purple, pink, etc.). But if I turn off HDR in Windows for that monitor and then turn it on again once MSFS is up, then everything looks correct. Can anyone explain this particular behavior? Thanks..... Rob
