Could anyone that owns KMSY check if you have missing D and B gates? I see placements in the walls, but nothing else.

TDM Design just released a new good looking airport in Spain, by the looks of it it looks very promising! I'll be doing a giveaway in my Discord if anyone wants a copy 🙂 If anyone buys it before, let me know what you think! https://contrail.shop/collections/frontpage/products/lest-santiago-rosalia-de-castro-airport

I have a new problem, now I have access only to few airports in North America such as KJFK, KLGA, KMIA, KFLL, CYYZ and some few others.- There are no problems at my South America region as Argentina, Brazil, Chile , Uruguay, etc.- Tried for now with KIAD, KDCA, EGLL, EGKK, and France and Spain region airports,and MSFS freezes once the flight is set, whatever the aircraft I select, so it must be killed from the task manager.- I tried starting MSFS with a clean Community file, and deleting my rolling cache , with same results. I want some opinions before reinstalling MSFS, which perhaps is the solution, but I am reluctant to do it. Thanks

Hi there. I belong to the group that defends the realism of air traffic. Te sect of "realist airlines".😎 Asobo has in his hands a great simulator that, curiously, has put air traffic aside a bit. While airports are full of detail, and the clouds are incredibly similar to reality, we land on runways and fly in skies with no realistic models and airlines. Well, in skies rather: empty. There are two types of clients ... 1) "wow !!! I have a 747, I'm going to see what happens if I crash into that mountain! ". When they have already crashed 7 times, they leave the MSFS, but the money: has already been invested. 2) those …

I got an email from Zendesk stating that they received a MSFS bug report from me this morning. This is strange because I haven't submitted a bug report for about 6 months. Has anyone else received a confirmation of a bug report, that you never submitted?

With the addition of the pre-cache terrain slider, I think World Update 6 is what Sim Update 5 should have been. We are over a month late but yeah, we got there. Finally, we have great FPS, what Seb promised in his Twitch video, and people can now control the amount of culling and pop-ins with the pre-cache terrain slider. Even better, I believe people are saying if they set the pre-cache terrain slider to ultra, they are still getting better FPS than Sim update 4. I suppose one of the downsides to World Update 6 is the bug some people have with night lighting if you don't set render scaling to 100. I'm sure Asobo will have a fix for that, but it's something I …

While updating the store version of MSFS I had a message that MSFS was not connected to the internet. researching that led me to realise the XBOX app was not logged in. Much of the online advice was hardware/software blocking the connection, so I spent many hours reading guides about network adapters, registry etc. All very odd as my internet was stable and fast. Common advice was to log out of the xbox app and log back in, but i couldn't do this because it couldn't see the internet. Many hours were spent uninstalling and re-installing the xbox/xbox live/store apps - this didn't work. In desperation I purchased the Steam Version of MSFS, but that initially also requ…

Well. Since update 1.19.0 it seems a lot of lighting has broken. Landing lights throw very little light ahead, seems the taxi lights throw way more light now than the landing lights. Airport light reflecting off the ground at many airports is sometimes non existent making taxiing almost impossible. Lighting from other planes(large or small, on the ground or in the air) is totally non existent, I almost hit an airliner coming in for a landing, zero lights on it. I tried a total reinstall of MSFS thinking some of my light files had been compromised, that didn't help( I don't recommend this approach, literally took 12 hours of 30 Mbit's download speed). This has totally ruin…

I really like the new sim, but I have a strange problem: The display is much too bright. Not the cockpits, but the whole scenery and especially the clouds. The clouds don't show any details in the distance, it's only a "very white", bright mass and the scenery is "milky, washed out" and bright greenish during flight. I tried everything (Windows settings, monitor settings), but no success. My specs are: 8700k (4.8 Ghz), 32 GB, RTX2800 (3840x2160, no HDR), LG 47". Any hint or advise? Thanks a lot!

I was hoping someone could shed some light on an issue I am having with the FBW A320. This started with the download of the Experimental Version a couple of revisions ago. Today I deleted the FBW A320 out of the community folder and installed the stable version via their installer. Still having the same issue. The issue I have is that when I hit the Escape Key it goes to the screenshot below. The General Options, Control Options etc do not display. The mouse wont interact with the Text Options at the bottom of the page. It requires the corresponding key on the keyboard to be pressed. The CRJ700 works as expected. Any th…

So as it turns out, only a few of my Mooney liveries are working. I don't understand why some work and some don't because they're all created the same way. I have combed over the files but I'm at a loss of understanding why they aren't working. I tried regenerating the layout.json as well. Is there anyone here who would be able to look at and compare the files in these paints? This one works great still: https://flightsim.to/file/4799/red-black-grey-livery-for-carenado-mooney This one no longer works after Carenado's Mooney update: https://flightsim.to/file/5366/slate-red-livery-for-carenado-mooney

Like many of you, I'm anxiously awaiting PMDG's 737 for MSFS. Here's my question: Can PMDG make a fully functioning FMS -- in which you can select waypoint altitudes, speeds, and flap configurations -- or does a fully functioning FMS have to wait for Asobo's completion of the underlying code as well?

I own a few of there products for MSFS2020. In 2020 it seems most of their scenery was broken by SU5 update and still hasn't been fixed with SU6 about to release. I read their forums and I feel like every update keeps breaking their stuff to the point I'm not sure if I want to invest in anymore DD products. Is this going to be the new trend with addon's? As it stands now 4 of my DD sceneries, Washington National, Tokyo Narita, Chicago Landmarks, and Washington Landmarks are awaiting updates. LatinVFR, FSDT, Orbx and Flightbeam don't seem to have these issues and are fixed quickly or ready on release day. I'm already bummed about fixes needed for DD P3Dv5 which will most …

Has anyone come across the problem of the ATC window not opening? I have a hotkey bound and made sure that it wasn't a duplicate. When I go to the bar across the top all options are available except for ATC which is off and grayed out. Maybe something to do with a voice pack? Although I can usually assign the copilot to do ATC and it works fine. Unfortunately this means that I'm not able to get any ground services since it is integrated with the ATC menu. Any help appreciated!

i've been away from FS 2020 for a8 months or so. I have installed all the updates and hot fixes. I choose a flight, everthing goes good till the blue line starts moving along the bottom, it gets all the way to the end, like its done loading and nothing happens. I still get the tips across the bottom of the screen, Is it still loading my upgrades/updates?

Kick A**! Atmospherics' right now, the best of all my sims installed, and yeah...with all features running, and at no 'morphing, lag, or updating on the screen' with my new download speed of 945 Mbits per second....just most impressive and outstanding flight simming... I can fly over New York, at 1,200 feet, and no more half-formed nuclear looking Photo at 120 knots. I see now, that it is the user's download speed, and not the ability of the M.S. server to 'dish it up, per high speed knots, real time. It is your ISP download speed that will dictate if there is any update/lag, not fully rendered Photo seen. I had some of that at even 360 Mb's per second. Absolute…

Why is that??? If I use my normal custom settings in nvidia insp, (wich NEVER was a problem before SU5!) then the sim wont launch (CTD!) to launch MSFS (as it is for me) I have to "default" set my nvidia insp. Any ideas why?
