  2. Hi There, I am having an issue with the honeycomb throttle quadrant on MSFS where it is either 50% throttle or 100% throttle. If I move it to anywhere inbetween that on the throttle it will not move. It works perfectly on all other sims, so that assures me that it is a software issue somewhere.. any help would greatly be appreciated. :)

  3. Hi All, Since this most recent update to MSFS 2020 in July, I've now noticed that when flying the TBM with my Logitech yoke and throttle controls, the torque no longer exceeds the max and I'm forced the fly the plane full throttle to just cruise at 230. This did not used to be the case. I've also noticed I'm using more fuel then I used to. My controls are all calibrated properly. Is this a software issue since the update? Do I need to adjust the sensitivity? Alex

  4. Although I like the weather themes in MSFS, scattered clouds being my favorate in terms of pure graphical bliss (and bliss it is....), I would appreciate a bit more dynamics. I would love to be in the midst of highly active storms developing rather than clinically setting the conditions using buttons and sliders. And having the added possibility to enter the atmospheric conditions for such storms to dynamically develop would be a great feature as well. Although we have seen the rolling clouds in the various videos (I have not seen them in the sim so far, even with increased sim rate), I still get the impression weather is not that dynamic in MSFS. Perhaps I should po…

  5. For some odd reason on my system, the ASOBO updates (at Checking for Updates) will DL just fine at any speed my router can do. But on my system, from the Content Manager, all downloads have to run very slowly at 10Mbits/s or slower or they will hang. Don't know why there is such a difference. Not a big problem because the Content Manger files are all very small vs. the monthly MSFS updates. But something to watch out for if you have problems downloading.

    Hi i am not sure if it’s a problem with my yoke, the kind of aircraft or something with MSFS but I am finding that my aircraft all go slightly to the left. It’s more noticeable on take off where I need to move the rudder to the right, but it still happens when in level flight. this happens more with propeller aircraft so is it to do with the rotation of the propeller? My jets also go left a little so it could be my saitek yoke, even though I have calibrated it. Does anyone else experience the same?

    This is the achievement you have to fly 300 miles unassisted. Flown it a half dozen times with no success. Have the assistance option set true to life. Do i Have to use ATC? Tried VFR without success. I really find ATC to be more of an annoyance than a help in this sim. The phraseology and procedures are horrible. Never heard the phrase continue as planned in the world. FS9 and FSX weren't perfect, (Who can forget those 40 mile turns to final.) but at least there was some resemblance to real world procedures with vectors to approaches. I would have thought they could carry over some of it from previous versions. instead of producing more eye candy, I'd hope they'd spend …

    This is a major airport in South Korea and I'm surprised that no developers are creating this for MSFS. What a shame! Korea has a lot of big airports I would love to see such as Gimhae, Jeju, Daegu, and more.

  13. Hi guys, Im pretty new to Neofly and have been confused on how to actually finish an Advertising mission. So I went to to 2 waypoints twice and then go back to the airport and landed safely however there is no indication on whether it is done or not. The Neofly app on my desktop still showing a "Quit Mission" button which if I click I dont get paid. Did I do anything wrong or anything amiss? Thanks

    I have overstuffed my Community folder & don't use 'link' programs so when I want to thin my Community folder I can cut the chosen 'hold asides' & paste them onto another drive. However, if I try that with the Asobo Official/OneStore contents, the next time I start MSFS it wants to run an update & put back that which I have taken out. Is there any way to remove items, [primarily the Asobo aircraft I haven't flown & are very unlikely to], from Official/OneStore? T45

    Back when I started flying MSFS 2020 in February, 2021, I had nothing but CTDs, lockups, Screen Freezes, etc. etc....I kept thinking that this sim was never going to be like the P3D V 3.5, I had flown for years, that just flew and flew without a hiccup. I kept reading posts by people on this forum and others, saying how stable they thought MSFS 2020, and I would think that they were a small minority of users, because this sim has some serious flaws. Well a couple of weeks ago, as you know, I got my PC back from the manufacturer with a new GPU and PSU. Since then I have finished dozens of flights, and not one problem. I start up MSFS, fly all over the Northern hemis…

    I have used an XRite i1Display Calibrator to calibrate my monitor. YouTube, Netflix, Games ETC look great EXCEPT for MSFS. The greens especially look cartoonish to the point I will often prefer to use X Plane. Has anyone had this issue and solved why MSFS can look so bad in areas with lots of green? I have checked HDR is off as my monitor is not HDR. Everything else appears ok, textures are sharp, water good. I found a suggestion to turn off bloom, but that didn't change the colouring. I posted a recent thread why I find a modded X Plane to look better than MSFS because I perceive the lighting as better. However, I did some flights in areas without much gr…

  19. New Release: Bear Studios NANCHANG CJ-6A PRIMER TRAINER - Third Party Addon Discussion / Aircraft - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums Does anyone wanna go first on this one? I am not doing it this time. It appears to be a semi-study level bird according to the description, but it's strange - both P3D AND MSFS compatibility. That's a first. But every screenshot is of the P3D version, so no idea what it looks like in MSFS. Anyone? 😉

    The launch of the PMDG DC-6 really underscores how good aircraft can be in this sim, and I can see myself buying a lot of them. But I want to focus on a core group based on the different types of flying I will do. I can see myself getting a 737 and 777, plus Majestic's Q400, along with a few smaller planes. I could also see myself getting a biz jet. So my hangar might look like this... PMDG DC-6 PMDG 777 PMDG 737 PMDG MD-11 QualityWings Boeing 787 Dreamliner FBW or FlightSimLabs A320 Majestic's Q400 Flight1 Mustang Aerosoft Twin Otter A2A Cessna 172 Milviz DHC-2 Beaver No idea if some of these are ever released, but I think for me a hangar like…

    I love the satellite scenery in FS2020, however does anyone know if this will be updated. My home airport is already outdated as the second runway is now built and operational at YBBN. However in the game the scenery is taken from when the runway is still being build and alot of sand where the runway is now located. Does any one know if the scenery will get updated?
