    If I enter an airfield in any of the GPS units i.e. WT G3000 or PMS50 GTN750 for departure and destination there are always two of the same airfield appear in the display, this has only occurred recently. I thought this may be to do with Navigraph Navdata duplicating the airfields within MSFS, but I've removed the Navigraph Data via Navigraph Navdata Centre and still get the same problem. Can anyone think of a cause for this problem

  2. Hi all, I've just completed a review of a pre-release copy of Origami Studios' Gatwick. I've also incorporated a comparison with MKVY's freeware Gatwick to help you decide whether or not it's worth coughing up for the payware version. Hope it's useful. All the best, Filbert

  3. I thought planes rocking and rolling around a bit before settling into your AP commands was how MSFS worked. But just now (finally) got a Logitech/Saitec multipanel (current $100 at sold by shipped by Amazon, USA). Now the Asobo planes planes glide around effortlessly in response to my AP button pushing). Wow does simconnect work great or what?! (I'm using Spad/Next instead of the Logitec drivers by the way).

    Good day all, im looking at picking up one of carenado’s twin engine craft to feed the “twin” appetite. I don’t mind the default baron however I’m really not a fan of the high tech instruments, I’m more old school and like round instrument gauges. for those who have both, if you could only use one, would you keep the Seminole or the Seneca? Are they of the same quality?

  6. I have turned down the engine sounds in options, so I can hear the clicks, creaks, and sounds of the plane. Now, if i bank hard, there is some kind of sound, like a whoosh I guess. It seems wrong to me, Does a RL plane make these noises? It's apparent in the Bonanza for example and in the 172. Is it the ailerons moving? I'm not trying to be silly, I seriously don't understand that sound and don't know what it's supposed to be. Can it be removed?

    Hi all, Just wanted to ask if this is a bug or due to poor flying skills, when carrying out some of the flying school scenarios, I can't seem to get the altitude checkbox ticked and completed despite being at the asking altitude. The altitude seems to change even when the plane isn't in that steep of a decent/climb. I have read around about this ATC Altitude bug but as I don't use ATC I am unaware if this is the bug that I am current experiencing or not. Cheers

    "18 August 2020" was really exciting day for me and probably for most simmers, as the new Flight Simulator 2020 released. We are all happy to have this new and great experience, with all of its goods, bads, improvements,updates, etc... Already took us to the adventure of flight and hoping that this experience will get into a higher level of excitement. Thanks to all the team members; MS/Asobo, 3rd party developers, free content and mod creators and all the simmers that raise up this huge family. ***Happy Birthday***Happy Flying*** What do you all think ?

  16. The MSFS forum has thread, some (not all) users report fps will decrease over time on every single flight. Some posters there say it is a memory leak in MSFS program, and not an issue with a GPU being throttled back. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/fps-reduction-over-time/436601/36 It happens with me, every single flight, always. Rolling cache or turn it off: no difference. I fly on auto pilot for 20 minutes, 45 minutes, 90 minutes, results below displayed with ALT R as time goes by (the Nvidia Experience popup window). This window pops up in upper right while you are in a flight. If I exit flight and start same flight again, fps stays low and kee…

  19. Long-time MSFS user here. With fixed-wing GA aircraft, Pipers and Cessna’s, I am OK and getting better. But I am a total noob when it comes to flying helicopters. I bought this add-on a couple of days ago and it's potential is enormous. My problem is: how do I learn to fly it properly? I am using a fairly standard joystick, the Thrustmaster T.16000M, and I've read the Bell 47G manual from FlyInside. I have it on it's easiest setting. I can sometimes get it to hover, but often not even that far. And once it’s up, I can never land, so far, without crashing. Is there a video series or webpage that goes into step by step detail on how to fly this bi…
