  1. With a multiple custom view setup, it is bugging that when changing (or transitioning from view to view), the camera "travels" from one view to the other instead of instantly snapping to a new view. For instance, if I am switching from a cockpit camera to a window (i.e. overwing for example) camera, it takes it through the whole plane before settling into the new view. Is someone aware of a way to instantly switch to the new view? I've played around with the camera.cfg with no luck - any advice? Thanks in advance!

    When selecting an airport on the World Map/Airport selection screen there is a dropddown history listing, which seems to be 3 airports 'long', at least in my case. It is not clear to me what controls the airports listed under "history", since an airport I frequently use is not listed, and one I never used is. There is also a dropdown list of 67 recommended airports -- can I edit this somehow to contain airports of my choice? Thx, Al

    I am almost at the point my graphics finally match so many good looking images I have seen on this forum! Even after Hotfix 2 I still had blurry textures, washed out colours and flat contrast. I have lost count how many suggestions I have tried with settings in MSFS, UserCfg.opt and Nvidia Control Panel. Today I seem to have found a combination of settings that are giving me sharp textures way off in the distance, good colours and better contrast. Maybe a bit of tweaking still required, but MSFS is great to fly with again!

    I have absolutely NO 3rd party AI ships installed. Today (never previously), every flight loads with generic (untextured) ships as AI stable aircraft parked at the gates. I can remove them by changing my airport traffic AI aircraft to "0" but that is not what I want. Has anyone else observed this and/or any ideas what may have happened? http://

  10. Had to decide whether to post this question in Hardware, Controllers -or- here in the MSFS Forum. Decided on here as this is clearly an MSFS question. I have just acquired a set of Crosswind 3 rudder pedals. When I proceeded to set them up and calibrate them in MSFS I encountered some confusion. Perhaps after SU5 the calibration for rudder pedals appears to have changed. The calibration box I used previously, which is the calibration box in use in Squirrel's video at the link below, is the more simple box you see at the left. Now, however, the MSFS sensitivities box for at least Crosswind pedals is the one below on the right. I had no issue figuring out the bra…

  12. I have been playing FSM 2020 ever since I bought the new Xbox to run it on. I take off, cruise and decent. On landing as soon as the wheels touch down my plane gets pulled by the rudder either all the way to the left or right, throwing me off the runway making it a terrible landing. Yes I have atc clearance.I will then exit out that flight and spawn myself an approach and I will land and it will be perfect. The rudder doesn’t move and the plane stays straight. I’ve even tried turning the sensitivity on the rudder off and it still pushes me way right or left. And for the second thing. My plane has done this on landing and recently on take off where the entire plane shuts d…

    We simmers can be a demanding bunch, and we're generally not hesitant to complain about things we're not happy about! So I wanted to share this example of great service; Yesterday I bought a MSFS addon for my local GA airfield; Fishburn in the UK. It's a small GA airfield, 2 minutes from the private home of a certain Mr Tony Blair (don't hold that against it!), which won UK GA airfield of the year in 2004. The product (by Taburet) was generally nice, with a good custom model of the well known "Aviator" cafe. However, there was one big problem - the custom aifrield came with no parking spots in MSFS. (This is also the case with the default Fishburn airfield i…

    I am using the tall trees fix/mod available on TO. It seems that a couple of months ago I also saw a fix for unusually tall hangars but I am not finding it now. Does one exist? I have an airport, KBMG, where most of the hangars appear perhaps 50% taller than normal and am looking for a fix.

    I don't know if something happened related to recent adjustments in the Marketplace to bring in the g1000 NXi update or there were hotfixes that ASOBO ran I wasn't aware of? Something happened to the sim (or at least how my system and options were set up). Having had no issues in the last few days I loaded up the C172 steam gauge this morning as I hadn't flown it for a while. It was basically unflyable (or wouldn't have been in very good shape for a flight). I had the following issues: Assistance Options - as I entered the cockpit, I suddenly had Assistance options and operational tips popping up everywhere. I couldn't move my mouse without getting little b…

I'm looking for some good planes to work my mid-range OnAir fleet with that are not study level.. more of a reasonable simulation that flies with delivered Flight Planning and actually manages to hold an autopilot route and actually capture an ILS in the delivered sim but not one of the ones on flightsim.to that uses the wrong cockpit and guesses at the flight dynamics. 🙂...

    This problem has been there since the release of MSFS and I'm surprised they haven't even fixed it yet. The lights look the best in 1920x1080, but when you increase the resolution, they get more soft and blurry and not as sharp. They look bad.
