    I turned in a couple of bugs on the Piper Seminole in the beginning of August. They sent me an email a few days later and said they working on fixes, and to be honest these bugs developed after SU5. Knowing they haven't such a good reputation for fixing things, I was not hoping for much. Well they released the fixes about a week ago to Asobo, and finally the updates were posted on the Marketplace, not Carenados' fault for the extra delay. Anyway, they fixed everything on the Seminole, and I have about 8 flights with it so far, and it is really a nice flying aircraft, with no problems at all. I have been flying the DC6 for the last couple of months, and frankly it is fun …

    Im going to ask in vain here, Im wonder if Asobo care to read this simple request from a casual consumer. the current A320neo looks very lacking but from my time interacting with this visual eyesore im wondering if this FS2004 FSX all over again. Im well awear of who this product is comsumed by but get out the clouds and task a dedicated Aircarft team to replicate more visally update model of this plane and her sister variants with the second engine type of what it all about(NEO but comes with one engine type are you serious).

  4. Dang it, I pretty much knew that as soon as I purchased the Bijan tree mod (which I did, two days ago) something like this would pop up.......

  5. Henrik Nielsen plans on releasing Version 2 of his AI shipping mod this Saturday! Version 1 of his mod is a legacy mod from prior versions of the MS flight sim. With Version 2, Henrik and his team have rebuilt those models from the ground up in MSFS native model and texture format. Look for around 700 MSFS native ships in his first V2 release. Below I've pasted some quick quotes from Henrik. I asked him what research vessels he's converted so far. Someone thanked him and asked who had volunteered to help. Then he explains how many ships are in the first release, and about his upcoming plans. Lastly, this initial V2 release will be release w…

    Last night's flight had some strange things happening with ATC. I heard a woman's voice for the first time. Different male voices a well. I got a couple of messages about Azure not working (again a first). Has this happened to anyone else?

  7. From The official forums :- Hi all, I’ve spent some time the past few weeks gathering some details to share on this new feature and how it works. As you know there is a new setting coming on Tuesday with World Update 6 called “Offscreen terrain pre-caching” and will be available on PC. This option defines what level of detail your offscreen terrain will stream into memory. The definition of “Off screen terrain” is anything not currently visible behind the user. First question I saw was, “If set to Ultra, all the offscreen terrain will be cached at full quality - does this include buildings and trees in addition to ground terrain?” Yes, this incl…

    I see something odd at KPVC, and wondering if others have seen the same. The main building, next to the hangar, the roof floats above the building. Is it only on my end?

  9. Not sure if this is of any interest for the majority, but when my main sims were FSX and P3D, I also used AirHauler 2. So, the area I flew with AH2 was the entire Caribbean and a few outliers. If anyone is interested, I have compiled a list of all of the airports for the area. I just started looking over the same airports in MSFS2020 and they look pretty good out of the box. Hopefully, there will be less need to buy sceneries as most all of the airports listed in the file I had payware sceneries for. There were only a few exceptions where there were freeware sceneries available. Anyway, I have linked the list of these airports if anyone is interested HERE. I haven't…

    I've checked my menu and from what I can find, there are no "tips" checked anywhere. Where is the magic switch that turns off things like "takeoff tips" and "taxiing above 20 mph limit", etc. I've been through every aspect of the Options screen and nothing seems obvious for turning these tips OFF!

    Having native access to Navigraph data I would expect a more consistent management of altimeter settings as provided by ATC. In my flights around Europe ATC acts like if we were in the USA 😕 They correctly track the type of airspace, so, after fixing whatever is causing the problems with the altitude, they could easily add consistent published transition alts and default transition levels.

    Hi guys, just a quick question where could i get charts from please? mainly fly in the uk and europe. Many thanks.

    Don't usually fly with AI on but tried a few flights. Interesting problem - whether I use Live traffic or AI Offline I see NO airborne AI unless I enable the labels. If I disable the labels, the AI becomes invisible. Tried turning it off an on during some flights and it would show and disappear every time I toggled labels. Using Little Navmap I can see the traffic on the map but not in the air. Even with 100% traffic - same thing.

    Is anyone else finding the stall speeds in the Carenado Seneca too high with this patch ? Full flaps and Gear down on final I seem to be stalling around 70-80kias rather than 60ish I would expect.

    At this point I would like to show my latest project: Saarbrücken Airport (EDDR). For those who are not familiar with this airport: EDDR is a international airport in the west of Germany near the french border. It is located on a hill near the city of Saarbrücken. From here, both domestic connections and scheduled flights to various holiday destinations are offered. With 1990 meters, the runway is long enough for wide-body jets like the A330 or the Boeing 767. But most time, you will see A320s, Boeing 737s and turboprops such as the ATR72 on the apron. EDDR is now available for download on my homepage: Freds Airports Watch the trailer on youtube …

    Hi guys, I don't know if I am missing something here. I tried to change my LOD settings in the useropt file (LODs 4 and 9l but it seems that they don't have any visible effect in game. It looks just like before (LODs 2 and 2) with scenery popping right before my eyes. I can remember seeing Screenshots with buildings and trees almost to the horizon but I can't get this to work... I tried setting the useropt to write protected but no joy either. Even a completely new file didn't work. Doe anyone got an idea what might be wrong here? Best regards

    Hey guys, so I am pulling my hair out trying to set the throttles via the efb. I am using the saitek throttle quadrant. so my idle climb flex and toga set fine except for throttle being jittery like it’s not moving smoothly when you push up or down it’s jittery. and with reverse thrust on the saitek when trying to set via efb I pull back on the stick from idle that goes into red marking on saitek throttle. There is not much play maybe an inch or 2 . For those who have the throttle at understand this. It would be the RX mode. it won’t pull back into reverse. in P3d it works fine and also deploys the speed brake. just can’t get it to work …
