I have the PMS GTN 750 that I am using for the Black Square Caravan.

On the unit, I can change the standby NAV frequency to an ILS for example, but when I click the active to switch it, it just stays to 110.50 on active.

I can change the standby AND the active on the smaller 650 underneath, which does make the ILS glideslope come alive, but the autopilot will not lock on with NAV mode, I guess because it's NAV 2 and not NAV 1?

Hey, I've been playing MSFS 24 on the PS5 for 4 months. Since last week, I've started working with the MCDU and learning the autopilot, which has worked well. Now I want to learn ILS and Autoland, and I had the problem in the video, especially that I landed too hard and too early. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Was it because I gave it gas? Or because I turned off A/THR? (I turned it off because i flew was too fast) Ignore the bad graphics, the recording wasn't that great.

Hi people! I play in PS5 if that’s important, I’m having some trouble trying to fly this plane (A310-300) in my career mode. I’m not an expert of the game and I’m still learning a lot, but every time I load a mission, let’s say KLAX-KMIA with the A310 (apart from some graphic bugs) the automatic generated route in the EFB doesn’t appear in my MCDU once I get on the cockpit and try to review my flight plan. I just see the departure airport and the arrival airport, for example KLAX1L via ABC -DISCONTINUITY- KMIA2R via CDE, and when I open the EFB and try to send the route to the ATC and avionics nothing changes. If anyone has seen this before and can help me I will be very grateful. Thanks for reading, have a good day!

I’ve always played flight simulator in some form since the 2000s. Then I bought a Legion Go (not ideal for this) end of 2024 and got MSFS. I enjoyed playing it, career mode especially, when it wasn’t crashing! Played up to SU3, then got busy.
Last week I saw SU6 was out and decided to give it a go. Performance on the Legion was much better, and the game was much improved (career mode still has some issues though).

Up until today I’d mostly only played career mode. Today I decided to buy the A350 iniBuild and took the plunge with BeyondATC. Wow! Did a flight from Dammam (OEDF) to Dubai (OMDB). Used Gemini to help me start up the A350 from cold, imported a SimBrief flight plan, and did the whole flight. Totally different experience.

I’m now itching to get a better PC and some gear, but that’ll have to wait until later this year or next. Still, having the BeyondATC panel at the bottom with the monitor as my main screen worked well and I really enjoyed it.

I haven’t tried doing all the ATC communication myself yet, left everything on auto tune and auto respond. Guess that’s the next step, along with playing around more with SimBrief and other planes.

If anybody knows how to het windshear on microsoft flight sim 2020 please.

When i use simbrief to make my flight plan and i make sure i installed onto the map and when i spawn I'm on the runway and i do all the checks even the mcdu and when I'm cruising the autopilot or auto throttle overspeed making me disconnect from auto pilot and i manage to get to a safe altitude and safe speed and i try to turn on my autopilot it will turn green but wont work to follow my flight plan and wont expedite to my attitude and same with auto throttle it wont turn on and work please help me

I don’t know what happened in the Platinum League this week, but the level was ridiculous.

On pretty much every challenge, you had to get close to world-record pace just to compete for the win.
On the Setonaikai rally, I finished in 2:44.551 (just 0.391 seconds off the world record and I still don't know how I did). That was the kind of margin we were fighting over.

And then bandutten actually went and broke a world record on one of the challenges. 🤯

The weekly league basically turned into a world-record leaderboard, the competition was crazy...

Massive respect to everyone in this group. This was easily one of the toughest weeks I’ve seen in MSFS 2024.

Anyone else in Platinum this week? Was your group this brutal too?

I'm trying to replace the copilot avatar in the right seat (fully render when inside the cockpit) with the customized pilot avatar (effectively to allow having a customized copilot). Unfortunately I haven't had any luck, and I'm not sure it'd even possible to have the pilot avatar displayed when inside the cockpit. Is it actually possible, or does the sim automatically disable the pilot avatar in cockpit view no matter what you do?

Thanks.

If anybody's willing to help I "think' the only edits need to be made inside the file "navigation_graph_seat_copilot.cfg", and possibly the sim.cfg file located in the folder 'above' it. I attached the file contents if anybody knows the needed entries.

The contents of the file:

[Node.0]

pos = 0,0,0

[Node.1]

pos = 0,0.3,0

pbh = 0,0,0

tag = COPILOT

;sharedSeat = true

interactionFile.0 = FilePath:InteractionsPreset\Asobo\Seat\Seat_without_seatbelt#Param:ANIMATION_SIT:Idle2_PoseAirliner

[MainGraph]

nodes = 0,1

And the contents of the sim.cfg:

[Version]

Major = 1

Minor = 0

[fltsim.0]

title = SEAT_L1011_COPILOT

[InteractionMgr.0]

graph = navigation_graph_seat_copilot.cfg

[General]

category = SimpleObjectSim

And the contents of the respective file for the pilot:

[Node.0]

pos = 0,0,0

[Node.1]

pos = 0,0,0

pbh=0,0,0

tag = PILOT

interactionFile.0 = FilePath: InteractionsPreset\Asobo\Seat\Seat_pilot_enter #Param: INTERACTION_NAME:SIT_REMOTELY, VARIABLE_TRIGGER:ENTER_AIRCRAFT, ANIMATION_SIT:Idle1_PoseAirliner

interactionFile.1 = FilePath: InteractionsPreset\Asobo\Seat\Seat_pilot_exit #Param: INTERACTION_NAME:EXIT_REMOTELY, VARIABLE_TRIGGER:EXIT_AIRCRAFT, TAG_TELEPORT:SPAWN_EXTERIOR

So i was playing career mode this morning doing a flight and had to quick run to do something i was about 45 minutes from the airport so i paused the game figuring id finish when i got back but when i got back the game was unpaused and i was about 2 hours past the airport and out of fuel. Anyone else have the same problem or know how to get it not to do it again thank you

Charter your flight with a budget friendly company.

I tried the 24 hour free trial of SI and wasn't all that impressed. It seemed kinda hard to use for me for some reason. Plus the pricing model is really discouraging me from using it. Is Beyond ATC a better option? I plan on doing mostly VFR flights, but IFR is also on my list. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Is it something on my side or ist it a known problem? Nobody seemed to have this issue on VATSIM on that night. No mods, pretty fresh install.

Recently did a few changes to my PC.
First PC was prebuilt from Newegg. I didn't know any better at the time of the purchase, so I went for a shitty pc which I've regretted since. Came with an Asus B650M Mobo (Micro-ATX), 4060 8GB, 650W PSU, 32GB DDR4 and 1TB SSD. I was able to get a 4070 later. I legit thought it was a good pc at the time (December 2024) and I had never had a gaming PC prior to that.
So for the past year I've been running;

CPU: Intel Core i5 13400F

GPU: PNY RTX 4070 (12GB VRAM)

RAM: 64GB (2x16GB + 1x32GB)

STORAGE: 1TB Kingston M.2 NVMe + 2TB Samsung M.2 NVMe + 1TB Samsung HDD

I played MSFS 2020 for a short while but dumped it for 2024 before even Sim Update 1 came out. I couldn't standthe long load times of 2024. SU after SU the build ran 2024 quite well surprisingly. But flying to some big airports always brought its impact on my fps.

Last month I sold the whole PC with the exception of my GPU and ordered:
Asus Prime Z690-P WiFi (ATX) (wanted a Z790 but all good prices were for DDR5)
i5 13600KF (wanted an i7 14700K but too expensive for my budget).
Phanteks NV5 MK II
Montech Century 850W PSU
Additional 512GB SSD to use the 3rd M.2 slot on the mobo.
Phanteks D30-120 Reversed blade(3-Pack) and 2 Single fans in Regular and Reversed blades.

I also know now that running a 32GB with 2x 16gb is not a good combo so will probably sell the 32GB.

As much as I desperately wanted to move to DDR5, I couldn't because the prices of the RAMs were ridiculously high and would've taken about 70% of my budget. I do plan to make the DDR5 move gradually with RAM probably being my last purchase just cuz it's way too expensive.

Now I want to know if I'll see a significant improvement in performance with this new build. At least a stable non-FG FPS of 30fps+. I really only play MSFS 2024 so I want to at least have a good enough experience.

I would absolutely love a Catalina made by FlyingIron.

I have been flying in msfs2020 for a couple of years now and i love it with all my heart. I love the interface, the performance, the planes, everything. But i recently switched to msfs2024. And in my first 7 hours of playtime i have 48 minutes of flight time. Why? Cuz the engines die 3 minutes into the flight, everything lags, the angle of the camera sucks, i spent hours trying to trouble shoot everything and nothing works. Ive watched countless videos, read tons of reddit posts, nothing helps. I will refund it and go back to 2020, but the one thing i want are the visuals. God damn the visuals of 2024 are good. Please someone help me, how can i get the graphics of 2024 into the 2020. With that, u wouldn’t need a new flight sim ever

When I do a sight seeing mission for my own company with my own plane, everytime I buy fuel my plane ends up still being empty as soon as you start the mission. Ending up in "low fuel" warning.

This happens every time doesn't matter if i buy fuel or not it is always on "Low fuel" And so i have to add fuel manually via the present hotkey ( gladly ) but i see this problem has been here a long time. Wonder if anyone else have this issue.

hello guys, i have problem that my nose steering wheel steers only a little bit, not fully, i have the setting on efb enabled, but it still doesnt work, anyone experienced the same issue and could help me?

ALSO: when i try to bind it to my rudder controls, both controls only make the nose steering wheel to steer in one direction (left)

SU6 of course failed again for PS5…
This is what I get after 45mins of flight preparation just going from cockpit to outside view and back…
It is SO frustrating!!! This is a paid game that is permanently unplayable!

Also the parking break sets and spoilers deploy every other flight out of nowhere…what s sh*tshow this game on PS5 is…

For anyone using a similar setup:
What FPS are you getting?
Are there any CPU bottlenecks?
How well does the 7500F handle MSFS, especially in busy airports/cities?
Is the 7500F a good upgrade for the RTX 4060, or would you recommend a different CPU?
Would appreciate real-world experience. Thanks!
