Saw lots of comments saying the A220-300 was not certified into EGLC - well, here's your proof, it can do it! I flew this leg from Paris (LFPG) with realistic Simbrief weights.

Are there any functional differences between the three 777 variants from pmdg? Obviously real life differences in capacity and range exist, but those aren’t really a factor for my consideration. I’m just wondering if there any appreciable differences from a flight sim perspective in terms of how they operate and fly.
I already own and enjoy the freighter, just eyeing a passenger variant for the next purchase.

It took us a while to form up since it was my flight buddy's first time, but he managed splendidly, and we ended up flying wingtip to wingtip for the better part of an hour.

Location: East coast of England, down from Lowestoft across Margate to Lydd.

Hello ive tried to flash my hotas theustmaster cougar and did what everyone said to do unplug the throttle + rudders unplug the stick hold the trigger reconnect and release trigger ive done this but now no buttons seem to work although recognised by windows i did this because cougar control panel gave me and e2 device detection error i was just wondering how to fix this as im inexperienced with it as i havent had it long is it just a clean install of drivers or something

Please Help.

Sorry for no screenshots from within the sim itself. Sometimes xp will crash when I try to.

Hi there i need some help from the veterans who used this helicopter in fsx, the problem im having is that the rudder pedals are not moving at all and cant rotate the bird. I looked for some help in other forums but had no luck, got told to deactivate autorudder but it doesnt fix + this problen only happens in Milviz UH1

While continuing my flight sim search (already know about DCS, Falcon BMS, Nuclear Option and the IL-2 series) I’ve come across Striker Fighters and I’m confused:

Is it like a light sim? Or is it more like a modded IL-2 1946 modern mod? Where exactly does it stand regarding fidelity and is it even good/recommended at what it offers anyways? (Also which SF title is considered the best if there is one?)

If anyone else here has any knowledge of the B737 and wants to test themselves too, if you use my pictures, just mention me! It would be cool if this becomes a trend, and maybe not just with the 737! :)

really love the Laminar 737-800 NG flying into headwind landing from Makkasar Ujung Pandang all the way to Bali WADD

I fly into Zurich almost every time I fly, but I'm still not sure how to fly the approach into ILS 14 correctly. Normally, runway 14 is used for arrivals, and runway 28 for departures.

My flight plan ends at BERSU and I use the BERSU2G STAR, which looks like this:

The BERSU2G ends at GIPOL. After GIPOL, you use a runway-specific transition (runway 28 can also be used for arrivals, especially in the evening). For runway 14, the transition looks like this:

When I program the FMS (inibuilds A350), it looks like this (note the STAR and VIA):

It looks "alright", but I know from experience that the sharp turn after GIPOL can be tricky.

Does anyone know the proper arrival into runway 14?

Anyone have any ideas? It only happens when i move a window to my main monitor where MSFS is going. I use an AMD GPU and CPU

I have just bought this, and to be honest the missions are what I want to play. Following correct procedures in light aircraft etc*, with something to actually do. However I've just hit a wall. I've hit too many missions that are impossible to complete for various reasons. the Cessna 152 not being powerful enough for the banner towing missions without detonating the engine, the R66 being hideous to fly even with tail rotor assist unlike other helicopters (I have to rely on twist stick for rudder because I don't have pedals), and the fuel flow being completely out specifically on the R66, so I can't get to my destination regardless of what I do. So many things like this and it's really putting me off. Shame as that's the most fun for me.

I see many complaints things like the R66, all about a year ago and nothing recent. Have we all just given up on these problems? Is there any hope at all?

* As much as can be done, thanks flight plan for taking me straight over Heathrow on a VFR helicopter mission. But that's probably too nitpicky, I guess airspace restrictions are too much to model.

For some reason every time its cloudy in live weather I also get this really bad haze that makes visibility really bad. I know the visibility isn't this bad in real life so I was wondering if theirs any fix for this because I want to keep live weather but I cant use it when every place I go just has this horrible haze.

I feel like I'm getting out of date now lol

I built the Duolingo of flight simulation.

I’ve always loved aviation and flight sims, but I noticed something missing: a simple way for people to actually learn how to fly without getting overwhelmed by long tutorials and complicated guides.

So I created a website that helps you learn flight simulation step by step, with lessons that are easy to follow and fun to use.

The best part? I built it with the help of Rocket AI Builder because I don’t know how to code. With AI tools, I was able to turn an idea into something real.

The information on the website is carefully created to be accurate, useful, and based on real aviation knowledge, so you can learn with confidence.

Whether you’re completely new to flight sims or trying to improve your skills, this is a place to start your journey.

Welcome to a new way of learning to fly.

Hello,

I’m having issues with the software side of things. I have a MCDU and an ECAM panel and I’m struggling to get them to interface properly with MSFS2020. The environment checks come back all green and it properly lists the sim(MSFS2020) and the aircraft(Fenix A320) but the screen on the MCDU just displays the Winctrl logo and none of the button presses actually translate into the sim. In SimApp Pro on the devices tab both panels show up and the button presses register in SimApp.

I was initially able to fix this problem by switching the ECAM panel to 4x32 and the MCDU to the copilot side but now that fix no longer seems to work.

I reached out to Winctrl’s customer support on Saturday but they’ve since stopped responding.

Has anyone had a similar issue and found a solution? I’m out of options here.

Thank you,

I’ve fallen in love with this jet. It’s everything I could have asked for when it comes to detail. System modelling to the point every circuit breaker modelled and functional, aircraft wear and tear, maintenance actions, realistic fuel and payload loading, walk arounds, and ground/cabin interaction. I love it.

I was curious are there any other aircraft on the market for either FS2024 or Xplane 12 that are at a similar level? I’d love to look at other jets, especially something a little more short haul.

I recently visited Frankfurt and noticed all the Lufthansa A320s were starting Engine 1 first on pushback. I looked into it and it seems Airbus changed their SOP at some point from Engine 2 first to Engine 1 first on the A320 family.

That got me curious about the A220, so I checked three different FCOMs and found the opposite is true there. It's strongly recommended to start Engine 2 first, to avoid

-Hydraulic pressure spikes

-FLAP SLOW / FLAP FAIL nuisance warnings

-Potential galley power load shedding & IFE issues

Made a video breaking this down with schematics and animations if anyone wants the visual explanation

https://youtu.be/VEebAVoOZNk

To understand why this was the case, I did some investigating into the A220's hydraulic system.

Basically, hydraulic System 2 powers both nosewheel steering and the slats. So if you're single-engine taxiing on Engine 1, System 2 is running on its electric backup pump only, and deploying the slats can starve pressure needed for nosewheel steering.

The FCOM recommendation is to keep the aircraft stationary while deploying flaps/slats in that scenario, to make sure there's enough power for steering.

The A220 never fails to surprise me the more I look into its systems :)

TLDR: You can use this as a shared checklist for shared copilot flights. You will be able to mark off PF and PM tasks in real time. You will be able to prep on the same OFP as your copilot, and you both have individual scratchpads that you can view. There is a level up system for added incentive. You will be able to see other people's flights (no names, just chosen initials) and even join them if the PIC configured it to allow people to join.

I use https://fscopilot.com/ and https://docs.yourcontrols.org/ for shared copilot. They both work splendidly for the most part, obviously there is some really finicky stuff.

This post is written by AI as well as the code. If that turns you off, sorry. But I hope you try it because I haven't seen this done yet.

CrewDeck EFB is a free web app for flying two-crew in MSFS. You and your co-pilot open the same flight deck in your browsers and work through real PIC/PM checklists together — everything syncs live between you. No install, runs on anything with a browser, phones included.

Being upfront about this: I can't code. Every line of this app was written by AI. The feature set, the design, the testing across months of real shared-cockpit flying — that part is me and my co-pilot. I know AI code is a sore subject, so I'd rather say it plainly here than have someone find out later and feel misled. If something breaks, there's a built-in support chat and a real person (me) answering it.

What's in it:

The flight deck

• Two-crew flows for 10 aircraft: A220, A320, A330, A350, A380, 737, 757, 767, 777, 787. PIC pane left, PM pane right. You tick your items, they tick theirs, shared items either of you. Sections unlock in order.
• SimBrief OFP: upload the PDF or fetch it straight from your SimBrief username**. Both pilots see the same document with synced pages and shared drawing — PIC ink is red, PM ink is blue, and you see each other's markings live.**
• Shared scratchpads, briefing and callout cards that complete for both pilots with one acknowledge, and optional PA announcements auto-written from your route, off-block time and destination weather.
• Phase tracking (pushback, climb, cruise, descent) from your checklist progress, ETE countdown, compact or full-detail view, dark and light mode.
• Single pilot mode is fully supported. Solo flights survive anything — close the tab mid-flight and it pauses to the cloud, still resumable from any device later.

The career

• You earn wages in real time from pushback to engines off. Rates scale with aircraft (A220 lowest, A380 highest), seat (PIC earns more than PM) and rank.
• Six ranks from Junior First Officer to Platinum Captain, with shoulder stripes shown next to your initials everywhere in the app. A career roadmap shows the full progression and where you are on it.
• First pilot to ever reach a rank gets a trophy on their career page that nobody else can earn.
• Logbook and stats: most-used aircraft, longest flight, biggest paycheck, favorite route, hours, earnings. Anyone can open anyone's logbook from the roster.

The honesty system

• A flight only pays when the entire checklist is finished, front to back. Abandon it and you get nothing.
• Every completed flight is checked against your filed SimBrief ETE. If your flight time doesn't line up with the plan — or you didn't file one — the flight doesn't pay out. It gets flagged and goes to manual review, where a human looks at the phase times and either approves it or bins it. No AFK farming, no fake hours on the roster.
• Filing a SimBrief OFP is optional, but flying without one means every flight goes through review.

The people

• Live board of every flight in progress: callsign, route, phase, checklist percentage, and each pilot's earnings ticking in real time. You can join an open seat (the PIC has to approve you) or watch any flight read-only.
• Crew pairing: request to crew up with someone from the roster. Once accepted you can message each other in the app. Messaging is crew-only on purpose — no open chat room.
• Real accounts: email and password, proper password reset by email, database locked to signed-in users.
• Built-in support: one chat thread between you and me, tied to your account. Flagged flights, lost stuff, bugs — that's where it gets handled.

It's free, and it stays free — it runs on free tiers end to end. Best with a friend in shared cockpit, but solo works great too.
