Just to dot i's and cross t's, since the problem seems to have started when you uninstalled/reinstalled your 4090, have you double checked that all your card's power connectors are secure and fully pushed in, both at the card and power supply ends? I ask because my 3080 did the same thing, and it turned out one of the power cables connecting had worked loose, not enough to pop right out of the socket on the card, but enough not to make contact. So there was enough power getting through for the card to turn on and do mundane tasks, like display web surfing, but not enough power to run a demanding game. Just a thought.

I have no problem signing into my Simmarket account on their web page or accessing my Simmarket account through the desktop app. This suggests to me that the problem is with your PC, maybe a Windows setting or perhaps with your AV or firewall, or maybe with your local server, something that's preventing the Simmarket sign in page from reading what you type. Are you able to log in to your accounts with other companies? You could try e-mailing Simmarket directly at: [email protected] ,but if the problem is a setting on your PC, I don't know if they will be able to help you much.

Thank you Georgleboui for the link to the SAS manual, and the explanation! I've just been messing with the SAS on a trial and error basis.

Yes, the H125 has the SAS system (it's at the bottom of the front panel). There's also altitude hold and heading hold buttons. I think the SAS is CS's attempt to provide a simple auto pilot for helicopters, although I've never found any documentation for it.

I don't know if this is what you need, but to get the helicopter trim assist functions to work in the R66 and 500E (I don't know about the H125, I haven't flown it in awhile), you need to turn on (push) the SAS button, usually located on the center console. You may need to push the stick to one side to see it. When off, it's plain white, when on, the button glows green. It also seems to dampen some of the CS helicopters' twitchier movements. I think most of the CS helicopters have this now. I hope that helps. PS: this is for 2024; I don't know if 2020 CS helicopters have the SAS button or not.

I have a 3080, and I'm using the FG mod from Nexus in 2024. The only way I found to limit FPS was with the frame limiter in the Nvidia Control Panel. None of the other fps limiter options worked. I haven't tried experimenting yet in SU4 (everything's working like it did in SU3, only smoother). Maybe I'll try removing the FG mod, or try other limiters, to see what happens. Sorry, I don't know if that's any help.

Try the freeware Gotfriends Legacy Weights & Balance addon: https://www.got-friends.com/collections/freeware/products/legacy-weight-balance Just add to your community folder. It puts a little weight icon in your 2024 handlebar that brings up the same weights and balance screen you see in 2020. I tried on the RV-14, and it removed the co-pilot just fine. Hope that helps

It's a very nice offering (as I would expect from Got Friends). Just one small question for those who have the plane: how do you get a co-pilot to show? According to the manual, there's suppose to be a click point on the co-pilot's seat belt buckle, but I can't find it. I've tried adding weight to the co-pilot position, but still can't find a click point. Nothing major, and hardly a deal breaker for such fine add on, but I just wonder if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks

Another possibility is that the problem is with Asobo's servers, and has nothing to do with your PC or MSFS install, especially since you're getting CTD's half way through the initial loading phase, even in safe mode (when I understand your PC is trying to connect to the Asobo servers). I note another thread has been opened with someone else having the same problem. The difficulty is, I don't know how you would test for this, apart from waiting a few hours and seeing if the problem still persists. With the new Japan update and the new local legends release, the servers may be busy. Just another thought before you start dismantling your PC...

On Flightsim.to: https://flightsim.to/file/81663/global-ai-ship-traffic-v6 (the link still shows the old version number, but the page has version 7.1. I believe that's the latest version).

Yes, I tried loading the CS R66 heli at NZNS runway 2, got to the ready to fly screen, the sound cut out, and two seconds later, CTD. This in 2020 with all available updates installed, including the one for WU XIII NZD. I tried again with the Carenado V35, runway 20R, and same thing. So I guess Asobo has some fixing to do.

Yes! Thank you pemigris! Setting the Aircraft Traffic Type to AI Offline gets the GAIST ships to show in SU2 (General -> Online -> Data Connection -> Aircraft Traffic Type). I also turned the ship density on and off the first time as you described, but thereafter, the GAIST ships showed each time I started the sim. But you're right. it does take a good 3 to 4 minutes for the ships to pop in. Setting ship density to Ultra seems to be equivalent to 20% or 30% density in 2020. Thanks again

GAIST ships was working in SU1, but not in SU2 or SU3; I guess Asobo changed pathways somewhere. Mamudesign Marinas still works in SU2 and SU3, and provides lots of small boats in marinas and around harbors, which can be seen from some distance (at least I assume all the small boats around the harbors are from Mamudesign), but it's not quite the same as having large ships sailing the oceans.

I suppose I can guess what the answer will be (and will probably get flamed just for asking), but just in case, does anyone know how to change settings in MSFS so ai ships and planes appear at a distance, like in 2020? Currently ai ships and planes only pop into existence when you're a few hundred feet from them. I was wondering if someone knows of a setting somewhere maybe deep in the sim files that would toggle a longer distance view. I know there's more important bugs to fix, but it's just something from 2020 that I miss in 2024. Thanks - Bob

Thanks for the reply, but no, the NCP limiter doesn't work either. I don't have RTSS. I guess I'll have to wait for Nvldia to catch up to the latest SU2, or for Asobo to take the next step and include an in-sim limiter that works with the FSR3 FG.

SU2 with 3080 12gb, 144 hz monitor, using the new FSR3 in-sim FG. Seems to work well, but has anyone found a way to limit FPS yet? The Nvidia app limiter doesn't seem to work. Thanks

I have a 3080. The Nexus FG mod was working in both 2020 and 2024 up until yesterday. Now, after the Nvidia app and driver updates, the frame generation button in the 2024 settings has disappeared, and the Nexus FG mod is no longer working in 2020. I had to delete the Nvidia app and roll back the driver to get the FG mod working in 2020 again (I really like what the app does for performance in 2020, despite some artifacts). Has anyone else using the Nexus FG mod experienced this? Is there a way to stop the updated Nvidia app and/or driver from disabling the mod?

Thanks!

I set my 2024 cache size to 50 gb on the recommendation of some on-line guides, just to see how it works. It seems ok, but now I find I can't reduce the cache size back to the default 16 gb to test. How do i reduce the cache size back to the default 16 gb?

Following the advice in another thread, I set the AS update interval to the minimum 10 minutes and the smoothing to 15. Although not perfect, that works well for me. But then I mostly fly prop GA's, and so move a lot more slowly through weather fronts and weather changes. If you're flying fast jets through a series of turbulent fronts, there may be no way for a metar based system to keep up and change smoothly.

I noticed that pilots aren't showing in external views for Marketplace 2020 planes now appearing in 2024, for example, the various Carenados. The pilots do appear in external views for the default planes. Not a biggie, I spend most of my flying time in the cockpit anyway, but I wonder if there's something I should be doing to make them appear. Thanks - Bob

Do you have "rudder assist" on in the Assistance options? I found turning that off solved the trim problems I was having.

The Comanche has dynamic registration (or at least the default livery I just took up does), so you can change as desired. Hopefully the repainters will keep that option (just a personal preference).

I'm really looking forward to real time shipping ai, but I'm wondering what impact this will have on fps and smoothness over a normally really busy harbor. Will it be possible to keep real time shipping ai but adjust the number of ships being shown at any one time, or will it be like MSFS real time aircraft ai, where there is no adjustment? Sorry if this question has been answered before, I haven't gone through all 85 pages of posts. Thanks again for all the hard work. I've really enjoyed this add on through all the sims, FSX, P3D, and now MSFS. -Bob

Unfortunately, it's not the weights; the plane loads with pilot and copilot weights showing. The pilot/copilot have been invisible for some time now, since SU7 if I remember correctly, but ATS has never responded or updated. . -Bob
