    I am trying to find some more liveries and was wondering if there are any other places to download besides https://flightsim.to/. I am also interested in the 550 models since there seem to be way more 700 liveries out there. Thanks!

  3. I've had MSFS since early Beta days, mainly to help John test the version of FSUIPC for it. However, apart from some brief test flights specifically to do that, i've not before considered using it for my real VFR flights using my GA28R cockpit (based on the Piper Arrow III. But now that the Just Flight Arrow is out, I'm wanting to try some decent VFR flights around the UK. With P3D5 on the same PC I have a default flight which loads me into a parked cold and dark situation at Sleap (EGCV), which is where I did my flight training (though in a Cessna 150 and 150A). But I just can't find a way even to set the aircraft to start at a parking position. With the EGCV s…

    Happened twice, and today I noticed it after starting flight with the Arrow. My aileron was full right. I finally realized that the autopilot was engaged, and I had left it off when I finished the last flight. Must be a bug in the memory for this aircraft. After I took off any attempt to engage autopilot wound up in full left aileron. I had to restart flight.

    I have been unable for the past 2-3 months to consistently complete more than 2 flights in a row without CTDs with AI Offline Traffic. I tried all suggested changes in Settings, Community folders, hardware settings,...the moment AI Traffic was turned Off, everything went back to normal. Has anyone managed to get a solution for this?

  8. Why was my thread about the aggressive customer support at Aerosoft deleted? Some members where way out of line and spreading hate and xenophobia, but why not either lock the thread or deleted the posts that violated the tos? I documented my claims, so I dont see how my topic was deserving of a complete deletion.

    Hello. I'm planning to make an application to facilitate using the G1000 in FS2020, because for me it's a PITA turning and using the knobs in the virtual cockpit. The way I'm thinking of doing it is as follows. A small (USB?) monitor connected to the PC and detected by Windows as a standard monitor you can use to put windows on. This would show a C# application with a picture of the G1000 (minus the actual display, it looks like it's turned off), with clickable button regions, and clicking those regions are then transfered to FS2020. Possibly (and hopefully) it would also be possible to pop out the G1000 window in FS2020 and have it displayed in the extern…

  13. Good evening, I have a quick question and hope this is right forum because, well, there are so many on AVSIM! I'm binding keys using stream deck and, like so many things in FS2020, the keybinding menu is a hot mess of confusion. I simply want the keybinds for HDG, VS, FLC, etc but they are don't exists or are lost in a blizzard of confusing terms like "set AP heading slot index" which is, evidently, worthy of a key bind. Is there anyway to bind a meagre button like HDG to a key? thank you in advance for reading.

    When I Look at the approach charts I see information about altitudes you should at. I understand this information. What I am not sure about is the speeds that are shown at various waypoints. Do these speeds indicate the maximum speed you should be at the marked way points? Thanks, Jim

    Neither I nor my co-pilot can get the F-15 from DC Designs to successfully take off. When you get enough speed to pull up, the plane rises a very short distance, and then the nose dives into the ground, and pulling back on the stick does nothing.Same for the co=pilot. This is not a speed or stall problem. I have had planes that were hard to control once in the air, but never before had a plane that even the co=pilot couldn't get to take off. I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Is there a way to start the simulation in free flight already in the air?.

    I have been going through BobbyFuzzy's tutorials (very good). I go through them one at a time and save after each. To be used the next day. I have found that the aircraft state from the previous day was not saved. This became a more serious problem. When I started to enter the flight plan. So am I missing something. Is this a known problem with FS2020 or with the CRJ? Thank You Bill McCracken

    Hi all. After a flight, last night, I was taxiing back to a parking bay to end the session when I noticed an odd thing. The world was rolling by fairly smoothly until I applied rudder and toe brake to turn. Immediately, everything became jerky, like the frame rate had halved or something. So I spent the next 5 minutes or so trundling around the airport to see whether it was a one-off, or not. It wasn’t. It was absolutely consistent. The effect was the same both sides of the cockpit. In other words the inside, or the outside of the turn with the scenery having to slide by faster or slower, if that makes any sense. I’m using MFG Crosswind rudder pedals, and have n…

    Has anyone every had issues where the plane doesn't want to taxi, particularity on new scenery? This happens ever so often and have had it in the CRJ and the FBW A320 after installing a new scenery. I'll push back, start the engines and release the parking brake and in order to taxi, I need almost 75% N1 to get moving. Last night it happened after pushing bck from SierraSim's KSYR in the CRJ. I checked to make sure chocks were removed and the parking brake was off. It is almost like the plane is stuck in sand or something. Once it gets moving it is ok, but idle thrust makes it come to almost a stop. This happens regardless of the load. Is this a known issue or is i…

It shows the aircraft as installed, latest version, but when I try to select the PA44, it's not there. Now I can't delete the aircraft and try again. Any ideas?
