  2. According the realese notes to the update it seems that Sweden didn't get any updated elevation data? I find that troubelsome if that's really the case and not just a typo. Has Asobo/MS failed with the negotiation with the www.lantmateriet.se who has really good data as I understand it? Updated elevation data for Norway, Denmark, Finland and French oversea territories (La Réunion, Mayotte, Saint-Barthelemy, Saint-Martin, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Guyane and Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon)

  3. I can select liveries from the PMDG Ops Centre, but when I load MSFS2020 sim, the selected liveries are not there. Anyone else have this issue?

    I have previously come across a setting which enable me to "disable" nose wheel steering so as to be able to travel straight along the runway on take off without the need to use my Thrustmaster rudder pedals which I still need to set the sensitivity on properly. At the moment the slightest movement on the pedals cause the aircraft to move all over the runway. Can anyone tell me how to find this again as I have forgotten where it is and I wan to make sure it is working properly. Thanks

  5. Hi friends, I'm sure you remember that in FSX there was this massive "texture cross" shape formed around the airplane in which the LOD was high. Beyond that was an abrupt change (made worse by the straight lines of the cross) in LOD which spoilt the immersion. I just noticed that this dreaded thing has shown up in my MSFS 🙄 Are any of you seeing this in your game? Is there a fix please? Thanks for any advice.

  8. With FSX and P3D you'd have the option to show basic flight parameters (speed, heading, altitude,...) in outside view. If I havent overseen it, then there's nothing simmilar in MSFS right? Do you know of a tool that can do tis? thanks!

    Tried many fixes, anyone have one that worked without re-install. Also what's the best way to reinstall as good old MS has word not allowed itself again all why I do nothing other than try to use it. Thanks in advance as I have run all the trouble shooting for security, updates ect to no avail it hangs and looks like its 95% complete on the little blue bar. Also any info on why we have to update the gaming services, I know its all interconnected but seems like more things to break. Thanks again Avsim you guys have saved me more thanonce. Shayne Nofts

  10. Hi, new to these forums but been flight simming (and lately a weekend co-pilot) since 1986. I have a Samsung G9 ultrawide and Nvidia 3080 laptop but the MSFS screen is stretched out unless I change to window mode (see pics) How do you make it run full screen without stretching? I have Windows graphics setting at 5120×1440 but the MSFS graphics settings for "full screen mode" max out at 1920x1080. I don't understand it. I have no problem running X-Plane 11 in full screen at 5120x1440. Thanks for help!

    HI, with SU4 many users, including me, had the issue of freezes which reauired several attepts to finish the update. Now with the update for WU5 I'm faceing the same issue again. Can anyone confirm this problem still exists? (at least it doesn't require the whole update to be loaded again but just the ones that haven't been updated yet but it's still annoying) Thanks

    I have the above yoke. Everything is working fine after some disabling of switches etc. But i do find that i have a habit on this plane to not be in total control on pitching. I dont know how the real plane flys, but i would like to rope her in a bit so i feel atleast i am in control. Is there a setting/settings on the pitch axis that i could adjust so i am not always overshooting in pitching? Regards Mike

    Does anyone have any insider info on if addons will work on day 1 when Sim Update V(Xbox Series X/S Release) arrives on July 27th? Will developers need to re-compile each addon and possibly make us pay to upgrade to DX12 versions like they did in Prepar3D?

    Well, release time for the HN-433/434 is occured ! The story of Menestrel HN-433/434: Henri Nicollier, a young glider pilot, planned to build an airplane at the age of 16 after having discovered Mignet's famous book: "Le Sport de l'Air". He reviewed the few possible airplanes of the time, and decided to design (and build) his own airplane; he elaborated several projects, and his choice settled on an all-wooden single-seater, with curved shapes. Above the very first drawing of what will become the Minstrel. Henri launches into the construction of his prototype with confidence. His workshop: a corner of the hangar on the ground of Besançon/Thise, bu…

    Hellow fellow simmers, Just updated to Nordic and went to Copenhagen with PG off and noticed 11GB VRAM used in FT EKCH. This is with 1920x1080 at scale 140. Anyone knows which VRAM settings is a hog? This was in FBW A32X. Oh btw , i use 0-9 on my keyboard for cockpitview change and i have a hard time preselecting them. I checked for conflicts and deleted all of them as they are tired to ATC panel. I also use a xbox controller for drone and moving around the cockpit but it goes to sleep now and then. Maybe it is conflicting keyboard? Michael Moe

  19. MS Store version ... I'm at 5.19Gb out of 5.21Gb and stuck in a loop: 82/86 ... It just keeps trying to reload from 82 onwards. I've left it for an hour now and am reluctant to pause or cancel in case I stuff up MSFS totally. Any ideas, anyone? Jeez ... Asobo really need their heads slapped for this insane update procedure.

    Not sure if this was already posted, but I just saw the A320NX in the marketplace! I had not ever gotten it before and saw it now in there so that made it easy for me since it was all handled within the game. If anyone else does not feel like messing around with external mods, it is now available and it is so cool! Wish I would have gotten it sooner!

    Since I'm a big ORBX fan and since Bella Colla and Catalina Island are now available on the Marketplace I had to scarf them up for around $30US for both. Really looking nice with the ORBX quality (Tim Harris / Ken Hall) that you would expect. These are popular stops for me so they were a no-brainer purchase. Oh and did I forget to mention that Bella Colla is located in some of the planets most awesome scenery? Hint: buy on the store and download from content manager. Have a great fathers day! bs
