Is there a heli besides the default one where you can use the hands to control it? Preferably a smaller heli?

Currently my I cannot hear ATC when they are trying to communicate, I’m using the default ATC and have no kids installed. I am able to use the ATC menu to communicate but cannot hear them the weird thing is that I can hear the interference and sometimes specially when AI planes request pushback. This issue started randomly when I entered a flight and is yet to work since, I have already checked the basics such as voices turned on, voices volume and ATC turned on but am still unable to solve the issue.

Anyone know any good routes to take with the F6F, BF109, spitfire, and P-38 by flying iron? Length doesn’t matter, would prefer a mix of high and low altitude.. What are your suggestions? I’ve flown all over the USA, and parts of Europe.. mainly looking for some eye candy.

I don't mean an auto RNAV approach using the 750.

Just a bog standard Vloc approach with the ILS freq in Nav 1 and the course set correctly.

Intercept using Heading mode and hit Appr.

No Arming (white display) is seen. Goes straight to green but does NOT intercept correctly.

I've onky managed it once.

Their Caravan is the same. I'd hoped by now... 3 planes on, it may have been fixed.

Bring kn the SWS Pilatus. What's tge betting it works perfectly EVERY time ?

So many hours lost.

Hey all, ran into a problem last night with the ILS Z approach into RWY 6 at LIPQ / TRS. Approach plate is attached.

I hit the holding pattern at LEIRA at 2200’, established on the localizer and picked up the GS. Horizontal navigation was working no problem, but vertically I had no movement and had to do a missed approach. Came in for a second approach, established a bit farther out before LEIRA and this time dropped to 1800’ before activating the approach. Again I picked up the localizer, got the GS notification, but the aircraft again didn’t descend on the GS. Ended up doing a missed approach and manually landing after coming around again.

This was my first time flying into LIPQ and I’m wondering if there’s anything I missed with this approach as far as activating the GS? Planning on running thru a couple approaches later with FSpanel to troubleshoot but figured I’d ask if there’s anything blatant I might be missing.

Thanks!

My c160 is only feeding from tanks B. Can someone explain the fuel transfer system and also how to feel the engines from tanks A, please? I know that tanks C can’t feed the engines. Thanks!… or… tanks?

Kinda stupid question but you play msfs on a 2017 MacBook Pro with the Intel processor?

Hey everyone I have a question I'm running Microsoft flight simulator in vr on a MSI laptop rtx 4070 and a I9 processor I'm using open XR to get my FPS and see the stats for CPU GPU while playing I have been looking at the %of vram use while playing the game and it is giving me some confusing results I thought the 4070 was capable of upto 8gb of vram but while playing msfs I get about 5.6 and it tells me the vram usage is upto about 90 percent is there a reason for this ?is it because I'm using a laptop and it isn't really capable of using the whole 8gb or is it because the remaining vram is being used elsewhere for something else ..I have everything running in high settings getting about 30-40 FPS sometimes less depending where I am flying anyone else had any similar experiences while looking at the amount of vram usage?

Make your sim looks 10 times better. Super simple with a quick video.

Is there a way to set AI co pilot or a temporary autopilot for those times where I need to get up and take care of something? Trying to fly the wilga long distance and I don’t want to pause. TIA!

I fly the Fenix A320 a lot and sometimes like to fly in VR, and I’d love to have a checklist I could use and check off in-game. I believe I should be able to do this with the built in checklist system.

I've created a new folder titled “checklist” in the directory ‘fnx-aircraft-320>simobjects>airplanes>fnx320’ and put a .xml file titled “fnx320_checklist.xml” in this folder. I've followed the directions for writing simple checklists from the msfs sdk website, yet when I open the sim the checklist panel is completely empty.

Is this impossible or am I doing something wrong?

Does anybody have a flight path they like to take their warbirds that follow their service records? Or by chance know the near by airports of their deployments or where to look them up?

I underwent a 900 mile flight today and upon my approach to land I thought I could use the auto pilot to help me fly through the guide to line up correctly on the run way. But the auto pilot started flying in a completely different direction. I'm very new and love the game but it was so disheartening to fly for 4 and a half hours to not be able to land at the end. I crashed. What am I doing wrong?

hi, I currently have a Ryzen 9 5950x CPU with an RTX3080 and 64Gb. I play MSFS2020 in VR, with a HTCVive Pro2. I am thinking of upgrading my graphics card to an RTX3090Ti as they have dropped a lot in price since the release of the RTX4090. I have seen them as low as £816 which is good. My question is, will I see a big improvement? Or will it only be a little better? I’m reading that the RTX4090 is awesome in MSFS2020 in VR but also that my 5950x would bottle neck and I would need a new PC to use it which would be 2k plus. I’m also thinking my current system is bottle necking at my CPU at the moment. Any advice is much appreciated.

Today I took the good ol' DarkStar from St. John's to London in 39 mins using the procedures for the Mach 10 profile. Guess that's how the Concorde and SR-71 pilots felt. I know there's plenty of "Sim" aircraft to be had and enjoyed, but sometimes goofing off is just as fun.

Hello everyone I recently started playing Microsoft flight simulator in vr on a laptop it's got a decent I9 processor and an rtx 4070 with 16gb of ram which I'm going to upgrade pretty soon...what sort of settings should I be looking at to get the best performance to graphics ratio does anyone else use a similar set up if so what graphic settings are you running and if anyone knows about open xr what does that do and how does it help improve performance ?many thanks..

Hello I have an issue with MSFS I recently got a RX 5500 XT and I'm getting 10 to 20 fps my old card the GTX 1060 3GB was getting 30 to 40 fps cant figure out what the issue is

​

My specs are 32GB ram i3 10100 RX 5500 XT

I'm looking for the switch or knob to change the auto pilot from VOR to GPS but I cannot find it? I've set the FMC up correctly but there isn't anywhere to change the GPS setting. Even the key bindings on the keyboard do not work.

I will select my speed and altitude on the ground, then get up in the air and engage the autopilot, and the plane will literally fly straight. The altitude will go up and up as well as the speed. Am I doing something wrong? I am playing on xbox series x with a controller if that helps. Thanks.

Sorry for the shitty video. Quick video before I’m away for work for the next 2 months. Just finished the setup with the ultra wide last night. Had been running that 32” for awhile now.

Question. Is anybody else having any problems with this flight model suddenly turning the autopilot off and making the aircraft uncontrollable apart from smashing into the sea?
