Can anyone recommend FT Copenhagen for MSFS? I have the P3d version and I like it a lot, but I have read some negative reviews for several of the port overs to MSFS. EKCH is on sale through today for $12 so if I am thinking of grabbing this one. Also, I have yet to buy anything from the Marketplace since I prefer to by outside of MSFS, but it reviews are good I may go ahead this time. I also am surprised that EKCH is not available though Orbx but YSSY is. I suppose at some point EKCH will be available on Orbx as well, but who knows. Cheers, Pete

Been away from the sim for a few weeks, and finally got a chance to fire it up last night. It immediately downloaded a mandatory update, not WU5, although it did grab that too. I booted up my trusty JF PA Turbo, and headed for the runway. Upon trundling down the runway I braced myself for the 60-knot shenanigans that normally have me careering across the runway like a clown on a unicycle, but they didn’t happen. Instead, all I got was a light twitch as the wheels departed the tarmac. I thought it was maybe a fluke, so then tried several take offs and landings, and each one played out similarly. Adobo have definitely been under the bonnet and the sim feels a …

I found Norway the only area I have seen in MSFS that I thought was disappointing. What's its like now?

... working correctly please go to this thread at Orbxsystems.com and hit the LIKE button or comment and perhaps Orbx will take the effort to fix this. I've tried my hardest to get their attention but it seems to largely fall on def ears and I won't buy one more airport from Orbx until they resolve this. https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/208405-have-you-taken-steps-to-stop-omitting-ils-freq-in-your-airports/?do=findComment&comment=1768098 If you don't care, please don't go there and dis the idea. I really appreciate not needing to look up and input ILS freq and virtually all default airports work correctly in this regard, and as mentioned FSDT and Roman …

Flightbeam Studios has released Biarritz-Pays Basque Airport (LFBZ) for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Developed by Dreamflight Studios, this airport in southern France is located in a very popular tourist destination. As usual, this a high quality product, everything is extremely realistic and detailed, from ground textures to buildings, parking lots, static planes, etc. The images really speak for themselves, but we should not be surprised, knowing that Flightbeam publishes this, and they are known to have very high quality standards in the design of decors, as we have seen with Washington Dulles and Portland. International Airports . Already buy for me... …

How long will we have to wait until we can fly this marvel in MSFS? three, four, five years, never? Ok let me order my own toy directly from Embraer... After all it's only 21 millions $... PS: Cockpit at 9.40

Does anyone know if the real airport has taxiway centerline lighting (green)? Also I'm seeing the small parallel lit with green centerline lighting....which is really weird. Real world says medium intensity edge lights on RY16L. Of course when the tower is closed RWY 16L is unlit and closed as well. Maybe a MSFS bug? https://orbxdirect.com/product/kvny-msfs?mc_cid=f101655ae4&mc_eid=d398815c2b

I cannot seem to get the GNS530 to capture the Glide Path during a GPS RNAV approach. I have tried both the original Asobo GNS530 and the PMS50 GNS mod. The approach is selected and activated in the GNS530, and does work laterally, but there is no GP response at all. I have also tried a couple of different airports. What's the 'trick' to make this work? Thx, Al

Can anyone explain to me why the co-pilot in my a32nx flybywire aircraft will not fly at the correct height. ATC keeps telling me I am 300 feet to low, co-pilot agrees but will not go any higher Makes landing by auto rather hazardous. Jus flown from EGPF to EGCC and landed short of the runway.

My home airport so UK2000 rendition was a day one purchase for me, but I've been very impressed with PP so this might have to be a double dip🙂 https://pilotplus.io/announcing-bristol-international-for-msfs/

I am happy to finally announce that we have released a BETA version of the Working Title CJ4 mod (v0.2.0). We want to emphasize BETA! You will find release notes with a changelog, as well as an overview document, included in the release on Github. Thanks to everyone for your patience. Let me say a huge thanks to everyone that has joined the Working Title team, and also to everyone that has generously contributed content that we’ve included. Our hope is for this to be THE CJ4 mod and we hope that others working on the CJ4 will help out by contributing to our Github repository. And don’t forget to check out the other projects – the G1000 is coming along really well wit…

Hmm thought I was using Flybywire A320 - just did latest update to it - noticed hey wheres the EFB want to try out that new throttle calibration tool - oh well not there Ill take a flight anyway Takes forever to get to fly button 😞 KMIA to KMCO IFR within MSFS flight plan creation tool - works great ATC was perfect - impressive - perfect landing and flight - said to myself boy the Flybywire is pretty dang good Moral of the story I was in fact flying default A320 and didnt realize it until I ended flight and checked the hanger and it wasnt the Flybywire - so not sure why the negative reviews on this stock aircraft - worked well for me

Hi, I was going throught the marketplace to look around a bit. There something called "Flightsim Credits" ,what that supposed to be? How can I pay in the marketplace? I am planning to buy the steam version (right now, I have a game pass subsciption). When I have a Steam account, can I still buy addons in the marketplace? Will the bought addons linked to my steam account or to my xbox game pass account? I think even if I buy msfs on steam, I am still requierend to use a xbox game pass log in, right?

I'm amazed at not only the excellent performance I'm getting which is in part because I've wised up to setting the sliders up optimally, but image quality just seems sterling now, mostly since the recent WU, but maybe before I'm not sure. For awhile there it seems there was more fuzziness in the but lately it's just been excellent everywhere too! I wonder if some behind the scenes adjusting happened in prep for the Xbox release....

This one was a surprise for me. Not sure if everyone knows about this and I'm just late: https://www.sportys.com/digital-i69-msfs2020.html

It's been quite awhile, but does anyone know what's the hold up with the custom flight management system? I've been waiting for this to be implemented before I fly this plane again. This is the one issue that is killing it for me. Last I heard they will be using the custom fms from WorkingTitle and incorporating it into their plane, but there has been 0 updates about it for awhile now.

I know I must be late on this but after recent updates to the Spitfire and P40 I find both these aircraft's engines die randomly in flight. Both birds I tried to do a short cross country flight from Fantasy of Flight to Lakeland and could not make it. My engine RPM setting in the Spitfire was around 75%. The oil temp just kept rising until is maxed out and the engine died. I tried lowering the power but that didn't help. Haven't quite figured out the P40's issues. Any help with these two birds is much appreciated.

Anyone got a Step by Step on how to do this? Not sure how to feed them into the PMDG Op. Center Liveries Section. T45

They are expecting to release a hotfix today or tomorrow, though it seems unclear how many updates will be released this week. Read Rob's post here: https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/pmdg-dc-6-cloudmaster-forum/133309-23jun21-pmdg-dc-6-msfs-updates-pending-please-read

In several aircraft (tested Baron and King Air, but I suspect others), some light switches don't respond to commands from the keyboard or yoke/throttle switches. They appear to respond to the "toggle" commands, but not the "on" and "off" commands. That makes them unusable with physical switches on a device that stay activated. The effect is that the affected lights can't be mapped on two-position switches on a device like the Bravo Throttle Quadrant. The "landing" light on and off commands work on both a keyboard and when programmed into a physical switch. Avionics on-off and pitot heat on-off also work, but not the beacon, strobe, nav, etc. There may be other less …

I have noticed that in MSFS the roads are very often displayed in green color as if they were grass strips. For example when I fly where I live I see the asphalt roads being green although there can be isolated patches with the correct color. I even think I see a small tint of green over buildings. But the green roads are the most glaring inaccuracy which I find very disturbing. Does anyone recognize this ? Can we expect it to be corrected ?

How Jetways work at MSFS ?, are them airport dependant ?, is there a way to call them ? Thanks

I don't know how he has managed this, but I am impressed! The full video is worth a watch. The more it went on the more impressed I got! The full
