Weird! I installed ChasePlane, keeping my cameras and views accessible via the numeric keypad. When I select a camera view using the memorized numeric keypad, it displays a view that doesn't match.

Hello, As requested, here is my humble feedback. Last year I upgraded to MSFS 2024 SU4. My profile: Fly: gate-to-gate or parking-to-parking. Aircrafts: general aviation (Baron 58 Pro and Caravan Black Square, etc.) and airliners (A320 Fenix, 738 PMDG, etc.) FPS: 40 FPS via the Nvidia control panel (the goal is twofold: silence and moderate temperature in the office). MSFS settings: TLOD = 200, OLOD = 150 With my configuration (see signature) and only with airliners, I experienced stuttering on final approach (from around 400 ft AGL) and while taxiing at major airports like EGLL (IniScene) or EDFF (Aerosoft), which made the immersion disappointing, especially since it occurred after 1.5 hours of flight, precisely when I was trying my hardest to finish in style. I tested AutoFPS, and with the settings infra, I no longer encountered stuttering. For me, it's a real plus. Many thanks for your work.

Having difficulty understanding, and with the video having no sound, I'd like to rephrase. To eliminate the stutters specifics to the 777 (and perhaps the 737), is it necessary to display the "W&B page" on both EFB for the entire duration of the flight? Thank you in advance.

Thank you all for your feedback. During my next EGLL approach, I will definitely apply: "Speed brakes are your best line of defence"

From what I understand, this isn't a way to replay the entire flight or a portion of it, like Flight Control Replay. It's a function to record a specific situation (aircraft status, altitude, speed, and other components) at a precise moment during the entire flight (NB: This goes beyond simply recording the aircraft's status on the ground, as offered by PMDG). This allows you to replay the flight if you recorded the situation at takeoff, to replay a specific approach if you recorded the situation at the IAF waypoint, or to replay a failure management scenario if you recorded the situation before the failure.

Thank you for your concise explanation. I think that for those who want to do "Study Level" (myself included), this is an essential feature for making progress and more easily understanding mistakes. This is a great step forward for MSFS 2024, and I hope others will follow.

Before upgrading to MSFS 2020 and then 2024, I used X-Plane with, among other things, the ToLiss A320, which had a save/load option for flight scenarios; examples: Aircraft configured and ready for takeoff, Aircraft configured and 10 NM from the TOD, Aircraft configured and on a vector, Etc... Is this the same feature you're referring to, the one implemented on the A400-600? If so, I haven't found any tutorials that mention it, and I know pilots on forums who never switched to MSFS because this unique ToLiss feature, which allows you to replay the same scenario indefinitely, wasn't available. Thank you in advance for your clarification.

Hello, I'm writing to the "Professionals" of airliners like the A320 or 737-800. When I approach EGLL via STAR ALES1H through BIG to land either East or West, I adhere to the speed and altitude restrictions (see chart). So, from ETVAX (FL180), I need to arrive at BIG at FL070 and a speed of 220 KIAS. However, I always arrive too fast and too high at BIG unless I manage the rate of descent with a severe V/S and "stay on the speedbrakes." Do you have any advice, or better yet, a solution? Thank you in advance.

Absolutely agree. What made me abandon BATC was the constant inability to request a shortcut and the capricious vectoring. To clarify: I mainly fly in Europe where, at major airports, transitions and approaches are generally S-shaped and extremely long. In real-world conditions, this allows controllers to sequence the approach, but for simulator flights, it's often interminable.

Yes. Settings: Language options > Unit of measurement => American. On the ground, in the weather window, I set the wind speed to "5", I close the window and then reopen it; the wind speed remains at "5". I repeated this several times; the speed remains at 5. I haven't tried testing this: on the ground, set the wind speed to "5", take off, gain altitude, and check.

Everything is here :

Since I didn't get a concise answer (this isn't a criticism of the participants in this discussion), I turned to the flightsimulator.com forum. The problem stems from this setting: Topic : https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/custom-weather-2024-su4-wind-speed-increases/758871

Your comment is interesting, but it takes us away from the main topic : To understand the problem, watch the video : 1/ I set the wind speed to 7 knots and close the window, 2/ I open the window, the speed has increased to 13.61 knots, 3/ I open the window, the speed has increased to 26.45 knots, 4/ I open the window, the speed has increased to 51.45 knots, 5/ I open the window, the speed has increased to 77.17 knots.

Thanks for the video, in it we can clearly see that when you pass 1,000 FT you are at 30 knots of wind but past 1,000 FT the wind continues to increase, increase, increase.

I followed your suggestions and the problem persists: To clarify, if I don't close the weather window but minimize it, the wind speed remains at the initial value I entered.

@LRBS, For some reason I don't know, I can't display: start 1, 2 and 3. Sorry

This works if you don't change anything. If, as I intend to do, you enter a wind speed and direction (ground wind or wind altitude) and close the "custom weather" window, the wind will gradually increase. If you minimize the window (only the line is displayed), the wind won't increase. I tried disabling real-time weather in Settings > Online, but the problem persists. If anyone has some time to test this, it would be appreciated. Note: I don't have any add-ons other than Navigraph.

Please clarify. To understand the problem, watch the video: 1/ I set the wind speed to 7 knots and close the window, 2/ I open the window, the speed has increased to 13.61 knots, 3/ I open the window, the speed has increased to 26.45 knots, 4/ I open the window, the speed has increased to 51.45 knots, 5/ I open the window, the speed has increased to 77.17 knots.

Hello, With MSFS 2024-SU4, to learn how to land in crosswinds, I switched to custom weather to "create" crosswinds. If I leave the wind speed at 0, it remains at 0. However, as soon as I set a speed higher than 0 (for example, 5) and close the weather window, the wind speed increases progressively and constantly. Are you experiencing this problem? If so, do you have a solution?

Modifying the cameras.cfg settings for "instrument views" Hello, To create views or cameras accessible via keyboard shortcuts, I create my own custom views. For the PMDG 737-800 in MSFS 2020, the "instrument views" file is usually located here: …\Community\pmdg-aircraft-738\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-800\cameras.cfg. In this file, for example, I create my own FMC view by modifying the "FMC" view: [CAMERADEFINITION.6] Title = "FMC" Guid = "{0644DCF5-4E0B-4562-8D33-F5DA2E341B5B}" Description = "" Origin = "Virtual Cockpit" … InitialZoom = 0.90 … InitialXyz = 0.27, -0.076032, -0.001398 InitialPbh = -59.06966, 0.00000, -0.000000 … I want to do the same thing with the 737-800 PMDG 2024, and that's where I'm having trouble. There are several camera.cfg files for the views. …\Community\pmdg-aircraft-738\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-800\common\config …\Community\pmdg-aircraft-738\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-800\presets\pmdg\PMDG 737-800 Model name\config When I modify the settings in any of the camera.cfg files, nothing changes in the views. Does anyone have a solution? If so, could they share it? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I encountered this problem when I added an Xbox controller to my hardware setup just for drone views. Don't worry, the display will disappear after several launches, but unfortunately there are no "official" solutions (settings, etc.) to remove it.

Thank you

I've carefully read all the comments, and there are too many for me to thank you all individually, so a big thank you to everyone for your opinions and advice. I understand that you shouldn't fight the yoke; that's what I do when cruising by adjusting the power/trim, and without autopilot, I manage to keep the aircraft level. I started this thread because in the POH (Product Owner's Manual), I read: Trim Tab .................................... Set for Landing Not being a pilot, I didn't understand if, in real-life situations, the trim should be set to UP to compensate for the lack of power (power = speed), or if it should be set to DN (Direct Node), precisely so as not to have to constantly push the stick forward.

Hello, I bought the A2A Comanche 250 and I would like the advice of pilots of this type of aircraft regarding the use of the trim during landing. At takeoff, I leave the trim in neutral, but during landing, if I'm in neutral, the aircraft is difficult to maintain on a 500 ft/min slope at 85-90 knots, and despite a flare, the aircraft bounces every time. Thank you in advance for your help. NB: If anyone is wondering: why not ask on the A2A forum? Well, I tried. They sent me an email asking for written, signed, and postmarked permission from my parents... I am 72 years old, and my parents are deceased. So...

Hello, Until recently, I was using Nvidia Applications with driver version 566.36, and everything worked perfectly with both 2020 and 2024, including the filter set (for improving color accuracy and sharpness). I changed my system configuration (see my signature), including my graphics card. I installed the latest Nvidia driver and encountered two problems: I can't launch MSFS 2020 in DirectX 11 mode; when MSFS loads, it returns to the desktop without any message (this issue was resolved via the MSFS forum). While the filter set works with MSFS 2020, it's impossible to use it with MSFS 2024.
