  1. Hi there, We have updated the development version of the A32NX to work with Sim Update 4. Please check if you have the latest version installed. Although: Due to changes in the way flap lift is modelled, the plane may bounce when transitioning between certain flap settings (flaps 1 to flaps 2 and flaps 3 to flaps FULL). The stable version is less affected than the development version. We’re already working on a fix. On the bright side: with SU4 the weather radar is now showing precipitations instead of cloud coverage. Also SimConnect injected traffic (e.g. VATSIM, IVAO) is now implemented in the TCAS. You can update to the latest developmen…

    Yea I know that it is a hooky title but of all the sims I played since 1983, MSFS is the one that I've had the most fun in (except for "Chuck Yeagers Air Combat") Not trying to start a fight here but to express my gratitude to MS / ASOBO. Cheers and stay steady on that yoke. bs

    Hi folks, I have a problem with getting MSFS to recognize different sound devices on the same laptop. My external monitor has a jack into which I have plugged in external speakers. When this external monitor+speakers is plugged in, I hear normal sounds. But when I disconnect the external monitor (thus also removing the external speakers), there is no sound from MSFS. I am also having many CTDs that may only be occurring when the external monitor is not plugged in. How do I set MSFS to recognize the laptop's built-in sound-device? Whether or not the external monitor/external speakers combination is plugged in, MSFS Sound>Communications Selection is s…

  6. Got my new Thrustmaster airbus edition tca stick and throttles today. However, on the default profile, my left and right throttles are set up with Throttle axis N (0-100%) and I can see the white indicator below it moving according to my physical movement of the throttles. However, I want to assign it to Throttle axis 1 (not 0-100%), but whenever I scan for the movement, MSFS picks up a button press (11) instead of an axis. Then I get an error saying that Im trying to assign a function to a device that is not selected. I am on the TCA throttle 1-2 profile page so it IS the correct device. I dont know what to do, and Ive tried to google it but nobody seems to have this iss…

    I've started to have a problem with the King Air that I never noticed before, and wondering if others have seen the same. When I start from cold and dark, and fire everything up, I still get no response from the PFD, and a bunch of items still show up as warnings. Even if I go back to the checklist and go through it all double checking everything, I still see the same.

    Hi all, Could we possibly get some brain power on how to insert VHHX into the CRJ? My post was dismissed,and promptly locked by the Aerosoft forum"sheriff",quote," The included navdata are real world data and as Kai Tak doesnt exist anymore, there are simply no such data And there is no way to add them," this is patently false,as the data is included in NaviGraph,and the default MSFS 2020 FMC's. Why are they so lazy and dismissive over there? Not a good way to keep customers......

    I have my sensitivities dialed in pretty nicely, after much fiddling and testing. I would say on all the aircraft I fly this isn't an issue but the TBM (maybe since update 4) turns really sluggish on the ground when I have full rudder left or right? For instance if I am doing a back taxi I can barely turn around full circle if the runway is pretty narrow. Anyone else?

  21. Hi, I just did the latest update and while in the sim, it said my bandwidth was not enough and was switching to offline mode. I noticed my scenery changed drastically even though none of the graphics settings were changed. Is this because it went to offline mode? I checked my bandwidth and it's at 44MB per second, which should be more than enough. The scenery looks nothing like it did before. Is there a setting to switch back to online mode? I'm assuming some or all of the scenery is streamed and now it's not. I looked but couldn't find anything. Thanks for any help you can possibly give me. Best regards, Hans Groenewold

  22. Been flying around the Caribbean lately, doing stuff like touch and go's at St. Barts and generally making a pest of myself to the virtual people in virtual houses as I overfly them over and over again. Hope they didn't get a picture of my tail number. I gotta say, flying like that in this sim is hands down better than any other I've used, and I've used pretty much all of them. I still run P3d when I want to do complex airliners (sorry to the CRJ, it's great but PMDG/Leonardo are still better) but for VFR flying, there's just no equal. I'm looking forward to about 2 or 3 years from now when the sim has matured a lot. I bet it's gonna be absolutely spectacular.

    I have never had any response re. getting rid of the launch videos by inserting the Fastlaunch parameter on Steam (Have tried both capital and lower-case L's). I have been able to shave off a small amount of load time by deleting the tube liners, which I don't fly, but that's about all I've been able to accomplish to shorten load times. Is there something I'm missing about getting the Fastlaunch option to have an effect?

  25. If this is the wrong place, forgive me. I just bought MSFS2020 but when I tried to install on a separate 500GB ssd drive it failed due, allegedly, 'read only' properties of the drive. I've checked in all ways possible, and the disk is not set to read only. Is this a known problem with Steam MSFS? It is currently installing on the 500GB disk where Windows and C:/ 'lives' which is not what I want. Andrew
