installed fsltl traffic -- works fine at bigger airports but no general aviation acft. No static aircraft at smaller airfields.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Get a list of all the counties in the US and fly to each one in alphabetical order. I got all 3166 using fsx - some with no airports and did water landings, roads or found smooth enough terrain. Took a few years. Started again with MSFS and now up to around 500.

The flight was from TXKF to GOOY. I created flight plan using the aircraft (A320neo) computer that included all the necessary parameters, including flight speeds, cruise altitude, approach etc... It seemed to be working just fine when I saved it, but immediately went to desktop when I came back and selected the flight (Enroute Gooy) to continue.

 

Found I had no problem saving and recovering two other single engine aircraft flights that really had no flight plan other than departure and destination... Wonder if the more complex flight plan had something to do with it on the Airbus and CRJ??

This just started to happen in the past week with msfs. Saving flights had some known problems, but now when I select LOAD for a flight, it crashes immediately to desktop CTD. Happened first with a CJ2 then with A320neo.

 

Any ideas??

On some aircraft C172 C208 CJ4 for example, the button light no longer lights up to indicate AP NAV HDG, etc... They function, but no indications that they have been selected. They all USED to work and still do on some aircraft, but now not on those I just listed.

 

Anyone else seen this??? I saw an old complaint in FSX, but not applicable to MSFS.

 

Really annoying.... could have been an earlier update, since I might not have flown those above for some weeks....

 

Anyone???

Any way to turn on button indicator lights? Happens on multiple aircraft. Clicking on button used to light the indicator to show the function was activated; now button indicator remains off after being engaged. AP NAV HDG buttons all function but without anthing showing them to be activated.

Just tried a take off with LOC and FD selected; aircraft turned towards selected flight path then after about a minute, executed a tight right turn that left the aircraft at a 90 degree bank nose down.

I tried it with FD -- no dice and then with LOC, also no good will try with both selected at takeoff. I am using the A32nx mod hoping it would fix the same autopilot problem I had with the original A320.

I have teh same problem -- PLUS i can't get the 320 to engage with autopilot.

 

Tried to use the heading indication to fly to a destination, but like with the autopilot, it just starts to veer off -- usually rolls to the right eventually.

I can't get either the standard or new mod A320 (or a320nx) to remain engaged to the autopilot. with the nx version, it will fly under autopilot for a few minutes up to a half hour, but then rolls off to the right.

 

Any ideas???

Still can't find the .exe file. I can find the Windows Ap folder and several folders and files, but nothing that says it's an .exe file.... found the .cfg and many others but not an .exe Am i missing something?

I had a similar thing happen. After saving a flight midway, I came back later and turned on the AI Pilot and it immediately turned around and started flying towards the departure airport! Tried to turn it around but the AI insisted on taking me back to the departure.

Same problem here -- yesterday I did see some clouds, today everything seems to be severe clear -- even though AWOS says there are 3 layers of clouds and surface vis is only 3 mi!

Mine did it again this morning. Found that if I tried to sign in to X-Box control companion, i got a message saying I couldn't sign in at this time. Clicked on "sign in with another account" , then signed in using my Microsoft Account info and that allowed me to open the X box Control Companion. Went back to MSFS and it worked fine.

 

I think (not certain) Somehow when you get to "Press any key to continue" the program tries to confirm your identity in X-Box. If you're not signed into X-Box it assumes your not the authorized user of MSFS... Just a guess...

Ok got it working again.... I loaded X-Box and it doesn't even list flightsimulator as one of my games. I signed into Xbox and changed my profile name and now its working. What's going on??

 

I think the problem may be linked to the X-Box somehow, but curious why it was working without x-box being active..

It's happening again... Ran fine earlier today; now can't get past the "Press Any Key To Start"

VEry unhappy.....Tried Microsoft Ap reapir.... No good.

Anyone know how to get the Garmin displays to display Lat/Lon info? Necessary for over the water flights for sure.... Also helpful when flying to find your location on Sectional Charts.

Hard to say. The last thing I did was (i think) sign into X-box using my Microsoft password then again selected to "repair" the ap. I had also made sure I was running the program as administrator. Hope that helps for you but I did everything possible at some point. Good Luck

Okay -- after starting over and doing a repair. It's now working -- very frustrating!!!

Well, so I've reset my Microsoft account, opened and signed into X box, tried a repair and reset.. NOTHING. Now I tried uninstall and reinstall and result is the opening screen is a still shot of a 172 (not the expected slide show) and the words at the bottom of the screen "Press Any Key To Start". Pressing a key causes the screen to go bland and the words about pressing a key and now fading in-and-out. Pressing keys does nothing, nor does the mouse or joystick.

 

What's next?? BTW doing an uninstall doesn't really do much and re-install only takes about 5 seconds.

I've been running msfs 2020 for a couple of days, including this morning, but now I cant get past the "Press Any Key To Start" slide show. The screen just goes blank for a couple of seconds and then restarts the same slide show no matter what Key i press.

 

Any ideas ? I also tried a computer restart and a complete shutdown with no results..

No problem with external camera modes. I can see the aircraft in flight from the rear but want to see it from a side or view from slightly behind a side shot. Also with the camera slightly elevated. Cannot figure out how to do this. Any ideas?

I am using LIVE weather, but I saved a flight plan yesterday afternoon that I didn't have time to finish. Today it's saying the flight and UTC are the same. Can't find any way to get the airplane to be on REAL local time.

Aircraft local time is set to UTC. For example, UTC is set to 3PM UTC and the aircraft local time is also set to 3PM but is flying over Texas. How to I get the real aircraft (local) time to be correct during a flight

I agree that flying vfr is great, but there are still many issues:

I can'f figure out how to pause a flight, save it, and come back to it later

Can' get back to a settings page without exiting FS and re-starting it

Flying the 172 with the GARMIN panels, can't find Lat and Lon anywhere

Autopilot not functioning properly sometimes not at all

Live weagther seems to be always clear skies?? Don't believe it

That's if for the moment... It has the potential to be excellent ++ but got a way to go
