    I have RTX 5090 and I9 14900K. Should I turn on or off resizable bar for MSFS 2020. I do not think i see any difference to be honest but I am not sure.

    Hi everyone, I need some help with an issue after the latest Fenix update. I’ve been having trouble using the Fenix A320 since the recent update. Here’s what’s going on: 1. MSFS and Fenix are installed on Drive D – Everything worked perfectly before the update, but now the aircraft won’t load properly or work at all. 2. The "Restart" or "Reset" button in the Fenix app doesn’t respond – Clicking it does nothing. 3. I’d prefer not to reinstall everything to Drive C – Has anyone managed to run Fenix successfully from Drive D after the update? 4. I’ve tried logging in and out of the Fenix app, but it didn’t help. Is anyone else experiencing simil…

    So, how you guys finding the flare behavior after the BFU ? Personally i find the pitch very sensitive during the flare. I need to make a very tiny input and even than i sometime float quite a bit. What's your take ?

  11. After not playing MSFS2024 for a while I came back to it (SU3 beta) and noticed something odd with the shadows in the VJ cockpit. It's as if some shadows aren't there anymore. I am currently doing a flight underneath the clouds and I am missing a lot of contrast. Just look at the gear lever and the various knobs beside the CGI's. Is there something I am missing here or...?

    Does anyone use AIG Traffic along side BeyondATC and FS2024? As an example in P3D: I've downloaded many airlines packages via AI Manager by AIG and use these models without problem in P3D with FSHud. FSHud inject traffic in P3D using AIG models and works perfectly. I'd like to do the same in FS2024: using AIG models with BeyondATC, so In BeyondATC I set AIG as first choiche in "traffic option" but I get always the prompt to install FSTLT base models (I have to download about 7.3 GB of AI traffic models). Why I have to use another model package if I can use AIG one? In BeyondATC there no choice to chose the folder where AI packages are installed, but ony the opti…

    For the second time this week I cannot use REX Atmos, because it cannot connect to the server to validate the program. Same for Accuseasons. Very annoying. Anyone else with this problem? My internet connection is fast and reliable.

    Hi. I just switched over from SU2 to SU3. I am still very new to all of this but having a good time with it. Here are my questions: 1. I am trying to create a flight plan in the G36 Bonanza using the EFB. I build the plan but when I try to send it I get a message saying that part of the plan is VFR so I cannot sync with the avionics. Is that true? I can't create a VFR flight plan and load it into the plane's avionics for the autopilot to follow? 2. I just learned about Dynamic LOD and I just learned about the Dynamic Settings option in the sim. Is one better than the other? Does it make any sense to run both?

    Has anyone tried it? If so, does it work in 2024? And what are your impressions? There are only a couple of comments in Simmarket but none since v2 release. Thanks.

  16. From someone's post and a reply by the MSFS Team: Hello, This is exactly how MSFS (2020) and MSFS 2024 already work currently. There are multiple builds for different devices (PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S). The PC build gives players full control over their graphical settings and options. The two Xbox builds have locked-in settings that are pre-set and optimized for the specific capabilities of each console. The notion that the PC build has been “dumbed down” or in any way diminished because the sim is also available on Xbox has never been true. The minimum PC hardware requirements are for a lower-spec machine than an Xbox Series S console. …

  17. Hello to all, first of all I want to apologise for my English, I am using a translator, as I can't find forums in Spanish that can help me. For the last fifteen days the MFS20 has been locking up on the loading screen, I have tried the following things: - Updating microsoft windows. - Uninstall and install MFS20. - Delete folder in %appdata%. I have the game on Steam and I have played with it more than 300 hours, so it is not a hardware problem, since I run it with a RTX 4070, I5 11400F and 32Gb of RAM. The game generates the following code: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sl_WFCQv4yrdbP8jy3KqmGjjLJvBytac/view?usp=sharing Thank you …

    I love my Microsoft FF2 joystick for all my sims. I have been using this joystick (I have purchased quite a few of them) with P3d utilizing Russell Dirks' FS Force software, and it works great. I have been using the FF2 joystick for many, many years. I also used it in MSFS 2020 before MSFS 2024 came out. I used it with XP Force software, and it was very acceptable in producing force feedback. I recently purchased XP Force for MS2024 and I use it every day. It's supposed to work for both 2020 and 2024. When I initialize it, it opens 2024, and I am pleased with how it works. However, I would also like to initialize it and direct it to MSFS 2020, since I fly b…

    I have been able to start the engines once. But next time things are crazy. After turning on battery and alternators I hear noises and the voltmeter shows zero volt. Indicators and avionics start flickering inspite of avionics off. Engines not possible to start even from the EFB. Yes there are fuel and the fuel selectors are on main tanksand magnetos are on. I see no circuitbreakers poped out.

    How can you set the sim so you can start in "turnaround mode" instead of cold and dark? I can't seem to find anything in the EFB settings. Is there a way to turn down the cabin lights for night flights? Are you supposed to arm the speedbrakes prior to take-off? I don't see anything referenced in the checklists I've downloaded from the internweb. Or do they automatically deploy if you RTO? Same for landing, I assume you would have to, but I don't see that step listed in any of the checklists out there.

  23. All right, Cosne-sur-Loire (ICAO:LFGH) is a very tiny field in the center of France. But I’ve added a lot a detail (I mean a lot) to create immersion and make it as real as possible for a small General Aviation field. Located on La Loire river and the famous french castles, it has all the basic of small GA field in France: one runway, few hangars, the famous Loire Aviation repair shop for Robin, a single Unicom freq, no tower but Avgas is available and even a helipad for emergency services ! Enjoy this classic in MSFS to visit La Loire and the great surroundings landscape. Why this update? As many field in France, there’s a big construction project ongoing adding a b…
