    I have installed the latest setup S/W for the honeycomb throttle where the LED's don't come on if there is no electrical power. All good. On the TBM they don't come on until the engine is started. Shouldn't they come on when all the power switched are switched on from a cold start. Any ideas

    I have the latest version installed but I have noticed if I exit the flight to make an adjustment to control sensitivities, apply/save and then return to flight, engines shut down. It seems any stepping out of the flight to the main menu causes this. Is there a workaround anyone knows of please?

  4. Having some issues with the JF Arrow.. when i start up warm, i often find the gear is up (no double binds on my ch yoke or the quadrants, i have gear set to a switch on the one quadrant, up and down switches). Then if i take off or just power full sitting with brakes on, after 30sec it shuts off and no degree of making sure pumps are on and cranking magnetos fixes it. I removed all community folder content to rule that out. If i go back to the main menu and relaunch, its no longer warm started and wont start. I also lost the tablet and not sure how to get it to reappear. If you let the AI control the plane it tries to turn it on unsuccessfully as well…

  5. As happens sometimes, there are some liveries that cannot play nice with some performance mods. When I tried to use the new (old) livery for the TBM930 that was added in the last update, it caused some issues with the TBM930 Improvement Mod v0.5.11. Portions of the pilot's side door had pieces missing, and the g3000 went dark (the WT g3000 mod was also installed, so there may also be a conflict there). The livery appeared to be OK on the default version - I'll have to run a test on the g3000.

  7. I am sure some of you had the same problem after the latest update but I couldn't find a post talking about this, sorry if the question has already been asked. My problem is that I have black screens in the TBM when starting, even with engine running, something like this: Screenshot The same problem happened also with the Beechcraft B58 Baron, I didn't test other aircraft. I obviously removed all mods (Community folder is empty) and I cleared the rolling cache. The following workaround was given to me: turn developer mode ON and load the aircraft again through the Aircraft Selector. It works, but it skips the engine start procedure, the aircraft is read…

  8. Is it just me or has something changed? Live weather does not work even if using the "Clear Skies" workaround and the terrain and autogen looks really sparse. I have cleared out my community folder of all 3rd party sceneries and the sim still looks terrible. The rolling cache is active.

    I've read about housing estates built in the US for pilots that are built with a runway and hangars instead of garages. Are there any of these in MSFS I can explore? I always dreamed of being rich enough to afford that kind of lifestyle 🙂

  11. Last week I briefly saw long thread about people complaining on a "lift effect when applying flaps" I was confused cause thats exactly what flaps do. Then MS released a HF for this prior to update fix Now Im flying in GA plane and when lower flaps I see no noticable forces acting on the plane (speed doesnt drop, nose doesn slightly go up without pressure, Vsi slight climb if no pressure applied) all symptoms you see in real life when activating flaps. Im I mistaken? when flaps are set its normal to see the plane inflating in lift a bit... why were people complaining and demanding a fix? its true I wasnt flying much before update3 so maybe there was s…

    Today I took the FBW A320NX to KDEN (Denver CO). There were many other airplanes in the skys near the airport. I opened the VFR map and could see the other aircraft symbols on the VFR map. But they do not show up on the A320NX MFD. Is there a option I need to select to see this, or perhaps this function is not yet available? I was in the Development version of the A320NX Thanks, Jim B.

  17. Hi all, I have lived with the 10degree problem, expecting a fix from Asobo or Honey Comb, but I recently got the Just flight Arrow and with that I now also have to deal with all switches inoperable. I gather that they can be remapped, but find the sim menu for this a bit.... well lets say its less than intuitive. Does any one know of a guide for dummies to do this? never mind .. much easy. was tired

    Well, this message has devastated me, honestly . According to Sergio Costa (who is really a great guy and enthusiast !!!) from HELISIMMER.COM we rotorheads will have to wait for the arrival of the first helicopter in MSFS 2020 till 2022 !!! What a huge disappointment . Well, the only additional opinion I have - and of course it's very subjective: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020... ......rest in peace. All the best, Konrad

  19. Hi all I have had this issue from day 1,I only fly GA planes and it seems to happen with all aircraft. Usually at around 50 knots and usually before rotation the Sim freezes for up to 45 seconds them resumes as normal. Does anybody else experience this. I have also tried sitting on the runway for some time but still happens near lift off. This is a massive immersion killer for the takeoff stage Thanks Wayne

  22. Hi fellas, I seem to fail in making the correct settings in MSFS: all I want is to disable all AI generated traffic but leave the Live Online Players active. Is this possible? If I shut down AI, I also loose the online players which doesn't quite make sense....

  23. I know wind turbulence is realistic. However, I would like to turn it off (it's quite annoying). Is there a way to do it?

    Yesterday, while still trying to work out what issue I may have after the latest Asobo update I suddenly had lock-ups of the sim before I could get off the ground (not CTDs, lock-ups). The main problem area appeared to be in Flight Planning - the mouse clicks weren't detected and everything just froze, OR the Flight Planning area opens but everything runs like it has a cob stuck up its butt. The only way I was able to proceed was force-close the program thru Task Manager. This happened twice. The second time it happened I figured I'd reboot my system. As I did so, Windows interrupted and said it need to finish the update. Now, since I was not aware of any update…
