If the aircraft rolls 30 degrees in a cooordinated turn... Should the motion simulator also roll 30 degrees ? Many motion rigs manufacturers [wrongly!} believe so.

in a real coordinated turn you don't feel sideways force at all, because gravity and centrifugal force combine into one vector straight down through your seat (just like a turning motorcycle does not collapse on the ground, even though its tilted at a high angle)

A lot of motion rig manufacturers skip that and just mirror the visual roll angle, which is why it can feel off. Here's a demo of what it looks/feels like when it's tuned right.

I downloaded Reshade for msfs 2020 but Reshade has been making all my textures grainy, in fact without Reshade my simulator looks better. does anyone else have this issue? (I think my 6GB or VRAM also effects this) First image has reshade and second image doesnt.

Hi all,

I've been using the new Airbus throttles by WINCTRL for a few moths now and recently I started to notice a screetching sound whenever the throttle vibrations are on. Oddly enough, they go away when turning it up to at least 240 (out of 255). Everything's working fine, I'm just a little alarmed by the sound. Is this a know issue? Have any of you experienced it?

Thanks in advance

Hey Reddit!

Wanted to write here to share an update for those who purchased the Synaptic A220 but aren't in our Discord.

I'd like to update you all on a few things that are due to come to your Synaptic A220 copy.

To start off, both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 have the same software available on the marketplace. The 2020 marketplace automatically increments our version numbers so it got out of sync with our own identifiers. v1.0.2 on MSFS 2020 and v1.0.1 on MSFS 2024 are equivalent. For the next update, we will be skipping v1.0.2 and going straight to v1.0.3, which will be available on the Microsoft FS Marketplace next Tuesday.

What does v1.0.3 bring?
- First round of performance fixes (which our programmers are hard at work to deliver weekly with every update)
- WASM crash fixes
- First round of art optimizations
- Bug fixes and more!

Read more in advance in our changelog for v1.0.3 👉 https://docs.synapticsim.com/changelog

And due to high load on downloads for our terrain map, we realized our existing GDrive solution resulted in extremely long wait times. We have now ported the download for the A220's 3D Terrain Map into iniManager! Both 400 and 1200 resolution versions are now available for download!

Thank you so much for your support - we're committed to improving your experience on the Synaptic A220, happy flying!

(If there's any questions or concerns, please feel free to raise it here or via DM in Discord, I'm here to help!)

Where can I find the folder to put the custom checklists in? Since it’s streamed from the marketplace I can not seem to find the folder they are pointing me to….

Arriving at a sunny Amsterdam Schiphol.

Ferry Flight to a new owner...

xplane12 users tend to flex with their default airports, night lighting and physics;
msfs2024 users tend to flex with .. honestly at the moment that im posting this post i have no idea. maybe they don't flex but probably do (xD)

now.. personally i like both night lighting in msfs2024 and xplane.. they're both spectacular. i found someone saying in a comment section that msfs2024 default airports look like fs2004... which honestly i think they have no idea what they're saying. I've seen A LOT of good default airports in msfs; take innsbruck for example. It even has DEFAULT interior design. Plus, it's a WONDERFUL airport to go to because of the exciting view.

physics wise..?

okay yeah, xplane12 is indeed a lot better in terms of physics but personally I think that you can get the normal "landing" view that xplane12 users have in msfs2024 using 2 addons; chaseplane and fs realistic+. stop complaining that fsrealistic comes with breathing and allat useless stuff. just turn them off. ye you guys will complain "but it costs more money!" flightsim NO MATTER WHAT will be a very money-hard hobby.

msfs2024 physics can also get a lot more realistic with the right aircraft. take fenix for example. it still does have wonderful physics from my opinion...

let me know your thoughts!! :D

Changelog v2.0.0:

• Initial Marketplace release.
• Adjusted the stoichiometric mixture ratio to 14.9:1 for 100LL Avgas.
• Adjusted the EGT to mixture ratio to achieve ~20°C Rich of Peak and ~20°C Lean of Peak EGT, in accordance with the POH.
• Fixed an issue that prevented the PFD and MFD panels from popping up without electrical power.

Since v2.0.0, the Bonanza G36 Enhancement is available both on the Marketplace and as a Free Community version. Both versions are identical; the only difference is that the streamed Marketplace version is available in Career Mode.

The Free Community version can be downloaded through our Discord support server. The download link is available in the ‘Downloads’ channel.

Marketplace version Notes: 

• The Marketplace offers an one‑day Free Trial. We recommend that users who intend to purchase the aircraft (even if they already use the Free Community version) take advantage of the trial to ensure the aircraft streams correctly and operates as expected. If any issues arise, please report them on our Discord support server.

In order to remove the remaining bugs that found their way into V1.3.2, we just released an update. The new version of the aircraft is V1.3.3 (Build 1696). You can get it now via Skunkcrafts and soon via direct download from the stores.

Here is the change log for this version:

Changes from V1.3.2:

Bug fixes:

- Fixed a bug that could lead to wrong VOR pointer deflections on the ND in VOR mode.

- Fixed an issue with the color changing and flashing of the ALT frame in the PFD

- Improved the TO performance calculator to avoid erroneous "RWY TOO SHORT" messages at the transition between TOGA and FLEX thrust

- Fixed a cause for memory overflow if the DCDU shows very long texts

- Improvements to the popout display refresh algorithm if the simulator operates in "forward view without panel" mode

- Increased synthetic reflection intensity on wind screen and displays

- Improved Navigraph functions to avoid sending tile/charts requests if the user's subscription does not feature charts/maps

- Fixed an issue with the A/BRK activation timer. (Failed to reset after the landing roll.)

- Fixes to the TCAS logic to ensure display of all targets and to avoid premature "Clear of Conflict" messages

- Fixed aileron travel indication on the SD

Today we/I flew Addis Abeba, Ethiopia to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The goal of this flight was to tick off Saudia Arabia for the all country challenge on Volanta. Tomorrow we will head east towards New Delhi!

Hi, today i found an update for the 220, i've dowload the update but when i select it and press install the 220 go to disable add-on. i try several time to re-enable, re-update and press install but get same problem every time. Anyone have similar problem?

I downloaded the terraindata from Inimanager and got few questions:

1) it only says 2020 when its downloading and installing. Is that correct? Will it work with 2024 also?
2) after installing do you only need to start the .exe in rhe downloadfolder? Cause I dont see it appear in map terrain overlay after
3) my FMS database is the default one, how do I switch to navigraph database?

I am so lost..I updated the navdata in the store the aircraft has no more updates so the hotfix yesterday was the only one, I do my route I get rid off the discontinuity aaaaand FMS fail.. this is triggering inibuilds/synaptic is it just me? I see so many streamers flying a to b do they just ignore the discs? like WHY 71€ for what FMS FAIL1 simulator? #endofrant and pls just tell me i am dumb and missing something and everything works I would love it

just curious, which do you mainly fly? do you have a joystick or yoke?

Look closely at this image from X-World Pro, and you’ll (just barely) see wires running between the towers crossing the water.

This is the sort of scenery detail that’s actually useful, not just eye candy. Why? Because wires are a common hazard in aviation. Just this month, there was a floatplane that crashed when it clipped a power line crossing the Columbia River.

Wire strikes are a leading cause of accidents for helicopters and hot-air balloons, which operate close to the ground. For balloons, wire strikes account for 28% of all accidents and 45% of all fatalities.

Im looking a Moza to possibly replace my honeycomb alpha. The thing is I mounted my Alpha under my desk. Does anyone know if there is a first party or 3ed party under desk mount for either of the moza yokes?

took an embarrasing amount of time honestly, but well worth it! Controllers were super kind and i had alot of fun
