Thank you Kurtvw!

Yup, it was the update that messed with my Honeycomb I think. This video was exactly what I needed. now, I'll make a few suggestions because it took 2 tries before I saw results. The first time the yoke went to the right instead of the left. The second time I calibrated, I did not unplug and re-plug as suggested and also, I calibrated with the sim open. I saw the results live and everything works fine.

Thank you so much Kurt!

Thanks Kurtvw,

It's my honeycomb Yoke out of whack. Problem with the cable i think. I don't know if the yoke can be calibrated. The aileron axis is slightly to the left. The cable has been bent and I think that is what caused the issue.

Seems to have started after the update was installed day before last. Aircraft roll left and fall out of the sky. This happens even with the AP on with heading selected.

Ant ideas?

I took an early morning (6am) hop from Toronto Island (CYTZ) over to Trenton Ont. (CYTR) in the King Air 350 today... It was an awesome short flight! Didn't hurt that I buttered the landing too :cool:

 

Real world weather & that gorgeous sunrise... Just WoW!

How does your Toronto scenery look?

loki, thank you for this post! I'm going to try all this out this evening but I do want to say one thing: REALLY?! How was this made so complicated? XP11 saw my controller, saw the buttons, asked what I wanted to do with them. Why is it that every time MS is involved, you have to jump through flaming hoops on one leg while juggling chainsaws? lol I swear it was almost easier to learn to fly in the real world than it is to set up a 'sim'.

But again, thank you!

And after having a great time in the C152 I am now trying to assign separate engines to separate CH throttles and configure thrust reversers. As usual, MSoft has made this stupid difficult (XPlane 11 was up and running perfectly in one evening). The assignments are basic and arcade like. Like in XP11, every type of aircraft should have its own 'profile' so that one can set up single engine/multi/jets etc. Unless I'm missing something, you can't do that with FS2020.

If I'm a complete idiot and this is all possible, please someone let me know. And don't go easy on me. lol

That IS an interesting thought. I wonder.

I'm actually enjoying this sim a lot but I suspect that as soon as the high quality third party aircraft start flying, the frames are going to tank. Out of the gate this is the quickest FS Micro$oft has done though.

Let's see if this worked

Thanks guys!

I spent 3 hours flying high density areas last night - NY, L.A., and with sliders between high and ultra, the sim was solid. I didn't stutter once and everything was loading smoothly.

I think it might be something totally simple, I'll keep poking around. Landing on the beach near los Angeles, I noticed all the buildings were deformed, like they had been bombed. lol I have screen caps but haven't been able to upload one. As soon as I can, I will.

Focusing on the positive - I have hundreds of real world hours in some of these planes and I can say the Cessna 152 flies amazingly well. Very accurate in most ways. To be able to hand fly a default simulator a/c often letting go of the yoke and having it stay stable, is an amazing thing.

I don't understand people who have given up on this already. It's a great product albeit still buggy. Just my opinion.

More to come.

By "terrible" I mean it looks nothing like the photos and videos of the same scenery I've seen posted online.

I'm referring to Toronto and Montreal specifically. TO is a major city and looked great in all the pre-sale videos. Montreal is bare but I suspect that is being addressed as there are many airports unfinished.

I run an I7-9700K @3.60

16GB

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070

Internet connection is 317mb download average.

Any help would be appreciated. I can't seem to attach a photo.

Can anyone tell me how to make sure the sim is loading Bing maps? My scenery looks terrible despite a high end system and all sliders to ultra. And CYUL Montreal is almost completely missing.

Thank you.
