  1. Learjet 35A V1.8.0 Updates - 1. New engine sounds developed from Boris Audio Works. 2. Improved the logic that plays the rpm and trim clacker sounds for MSFS2024. 3. Ambient Occlusion texture effect was updated for the Throttles. 4. The bleed air sound is now lower in volume. Bug fixes - 1. The control wheel master switch was no longer disabling the elevator trim when pressed. Fixed. This also fixed the trim sound from playing when the trim is disabled from the CWM switch or when the primary/secondary switch is in the off position. 2. The gear horn fixed from version V1.2.7. was only preventive and not disabling when electrical w…

  3. I recently bought Realworld Scenery's St. Louis Lambert International Airport (KSTL) for MSFS. Airport looks good, but performance could be better. Today I see that Feelthere has released KSTL. Would like to hear from those who have bought Feelthere's rendition about your experience. Ideally, someone has bought both products and would compare them.

    Been using this for a while. Some small known bugs, but recently in 2020 ive noticed I have lost my deck crew. Everything else working fine and I really enjoy the DC Designs Hornet mod for Carrier work. Pretty realistic as far as anything outside of DCS. Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be with my deck apes? I did delete and reinstall via marketplace and still see the same issue. TIA!

  5. Because this wasn't clear, I took a chance and purchased the Hangar 713 Scout from the 2024 marketplace. It is a 2020 aircraft, and sure enough it automatically appears as purchased in 2020. I was worried that purchases might only carry forwards, not backwards. Just a public service announcement.

  6. I went to the AUX page group but cannot access the Display Backlight selection by twisting the small knob. My display is barely readable at night. I have the latest version of MSFS 2024.

    I've been a long time user of AS and also switched over to 2024 exclusively of late. I've noticed that the AS weather depicted is not what is currently live in the real world. For example, right now it is raining in Buffalo. Though neither AS or default is producing rain in the sim (that is another issue of mine, whenever it is raining IRL, rain never shows for me in the sim), default has overcast skies and what would appear closer to the real world metar, AS has mostly sunny skies, few clouds and a rainbow. In my experience, AS always gave a more realistic view of real weather, but not when I am in 2024. Could i have a setting that is messing something up? Anything…

    Hello. I just saw the Albatross in MSFS 2020 marketplace. If I purchase for MSFS2020, will it also available for MSFS2024? My 2024 is standard edition. Thanks

    Just curious. Was randomly checking the Navigraph hub and received the notice to update to 2508 Rev 3, but cant find any update notes or information regarding it at all. Any clues?

  11. I want to have my bravo's physical idle position match idle on the Duke in the Sim (with a small dead area for good measure). I only want it to go into beta when I physically go past the bravo's detent switch. I can't seem to get that in msfs 2024s curve settings, but can get it in spad.next's curve editor. I just can't link my bravo axis to the duke. In the data monitor, it shows B:ENGINE_THROTTLE_1 as the variable that changes when you move the on screen throttle lever, but when I try to send data values to it via the bravo, it doesn't change (as viewed in the data monitor). B:ENGINE_THROTTLE_1 registers am event, but the value doesn't change. The bravo sends 0-100 val…

  12. Hi, as per title :- I have MSFS2024 since Jan'25 and have never been able to complete a flight due to a complete PC crash/lockup which results in me having to power down (physically removing power) and reboot to recover. I also have MSFS2020 and I can have that running for as long as I like without any hard/soft crashes. MSFS2024 may crash in 5 mins or 25 mins but it will crash. I have tried every version including all betas and all have shown this behaviour. I have tried running virgin setups ( no addons whatsoever ), latest video drivers, older video drivers, run MS file validation, un-installed it, re-installed it, changed drives, default bios s…

  13. Just booted up FS2024 and got this popup. Never seen this before, I've had 2024 on my PC for 7 months. I've got an i91400F, 32Gig of fast RAM, 4070Ti Super and an SSD. My system assuredly does meet minimum requirements. What the heck is going on? Edit - got an error message on start up - Error DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER_INTERNAL_ERROR and now my PC is saying I don't have a GPU. This isn't good. Any ideas here, besides the obvious that someone my barely broken in 4070 just got smoked?

    If permanently removing the co-pilot in all planes is not possible, can I at least delete the co-pilot in the default Titan Cessna 404 and the default Pilatus PC-24?

    Hi 🙂 quick question, i am currently using the traffic injection of FSTL with beyond ATC but i was wondering if i could also activate multiplayer to see other players ? i tried but it seems to do nothing, i cant see anyone. thanks

    I was never in the Beta for SU3, so getting around to some testing now, and I’m noticing my GPU utilization is consistently 20% lower than typical, resulting in an overall performance loss of around 10 fps. On average my gpu utilization is right around 65%. SU2 had GPU utilization at 80+ basically all the time. The only way I’m able to achieve pre SU3 performance, is by lowering TLOD to 100. Prior to SU3 I was running it at 200 with no issues. I’m running a 5080, 5800x3d, 64 gb ram, on a Reverb G2, using Auto FPS.

    Surprisingly 88NV shows up in the AIRINC Cycle DB and the airport shows as a destination (albeit took a couple refreshes to the FP). Unfortunately there is no airport and not even any dirt or sand trail when landing on the playa. All that appears as a 'marker' is a large wind turbine where the runway should be. Oddly when "taxiing" back to the area of the wind turbine, a tow cart dude popped up but no marshal or any other infrastructure. There were some intermittent bushes and a large water tank. Also so multi colored large spindle thing as if a programmer made a easter egg for Black Rock City. Is there any scenery or runway mod for Burning Man? Is anyone s…

    Hi guys, Does anyone know how to change the map direction of the nd display in the fenix a320 currently mines goes from top of screen to bottom and i would prefer it to go the other direction. thanks

    Is anyone using this (MSFS Global Power Lines - Orbx)? Is it different from: 1. Puffin Flight's "We Love VFR" (We Love VFR - Region 2 for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS) or 2. Mamudesign's "Powerlines and Solar Farms" (Powerlines and Solar Farms for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS)?

    So, what programming genius thought that the identification data should apply to EVERY plane in the sim... I mean HUH?? If I set the tail number of my Piper Arrow but then fly an Airbus ATC calls me Arrow 984JV for example... Utterly ridiculous 🤣

  23. I have read many threads and posts about this issue but find no solution. The SU3 sim was working perfectly and then it wasn't! Have been flying happily in 1.5.27.0 since it was released. Flew for an hour earlier today with beautiful scenery and excellent performance. During that flight the Community folder contained 10 files and 25 linked files including several detailed airports and aircraft. Shut the sim down with "Quit to Desktop" with normal end. Normal load time in SU3 has been around 120 to 140 seconds. Sim took 120 seconds to get to Loading World Data 90% the next time I started the sim. It then stalled at that point and needed another 4 minutes to …
