  1. the main issue COCKPITS COCKPITS COCKPITS modelling airplanes wether the largest A380 or your favourite experimental is the same, no big deal. The feeling of a plane is more from the cockpit than outside view. I rather have a detailed realistic 707 cockpit and say the outside view is of a Cessna152., dont care, I can live with it more than if the outside looks are pretty but the cockpit is from another plane arghhh! But building cockpits and systems, specially those that are different from the stock planes, and even more specially the analogue ones that use needles, switches and buttons that must relate to a particular era, manufacturer, color, etc...that seems to be a big deal for developpers, and last specially but not least...those developpers are getting younger every day, their visual reference of some great cockpits is not supported by life experience, hence even if they attempt developping classic airplanes, they will fall short. Their only chance is to copy cockpits made for earlier simms and adapt them to ms2020, a copy of the copy, tough
  2. Though now you can launch the game Marketplace is disabled User Profile is blank, where says Servers...in automatic loop searching anyone using the sim agrees?
  3. Yes, Whats keeping most folks in Xplane and P3Dv4 or 5 or even die hard FSX is the possibility of having a variety of good planes WITH REALISTIC cockpits specially of those planes that prevailed the skies in the near past. Come on...the past is the main reason we sit in front of a computer to sim. If you are 18yo or 20 and planning to take licence and a career you will enjoy simming modern cockpits to an extent. Soon you will get so much involved with real flying that simming will have no point. Many will argue that stock planes are found in many airports. While this is true, it doesnt describe reality. Taking the whole world not just US, a large percentage of small and medium planes are still analog So for a vast majority, we sit in a computer to sim remembering times gone by. Wether its six months ago because you did a particular flight, or 40 years ago, or perhaps 50 years when you were a kid flying as a passenger in great planes. Or even not about you, but remembering your Dad who was a pilot and flew 70 years ago!! Simming is remembering, emulating, "doing as you saw in real" , all these relate to past tense. MS2020 has better graphics, better scenery, better airports...whats missing? Its missing the planes that made people love aviation
  4. just how few people here in flightsim are really actively flying, it seems few are complaining... servers still down this just show why is so important if you buy a game to be able to start if offline with no outside interference whatsoever. Thats what cached bing maps are for... MS initially said you would be able to sim offline but that is not strictly true, you have a limit of times you can do this and right now we should be able to start the sim offline but its unable, its hooked to the servers and loops to that error Shame!!
  5. anyone been thru this? i sign out to both my microsoft account and xbox (same) restarted, emptied Community folder... funny first thru web xbox website wouldnt sign in, as if it had problems, then i managed to sign in but the sim wouldnt pass the validation check
  6. Yep, i see guess will keep waiting thanks for the Bleriot link, but I pass, will wait for those jets forgot a few, 757, BAE series, old Gulfstream Falcon, 767-200, or lets put it this way: jets that sound like jets and not the current vaccuum cleaners haha
  7. Hi, I have been out of the sim hobby due to travel and work i sat down for a relax and launch MS2020, waited for the long update of several countries Japan, UK USA etc Glad MS is monthly coming with improvs and upgrades But what is it with the SDK ? seems still people struggling Only 2 aircraft addons (I mean "aircraft" not experimental never-heard-about planes) have been launched, both by carenado (ovation and PA44) Hate those who release airplanes with a default different cockpit, like some are doing with Airbuses, although its true an Airbus "saw one, saw them all" (except for the great A300/310) The rest? nothing Some large addon companies havent even mentioned they are building MS2020 versions (Captainsim, PMDG still nothing), and specially the golden age planes of jets alone (I name them cause know them by heart: Comet, Caravelle, 707, 747-200, 727, 737-200, DC10, L1011, DC8, DC9, Fokker, Trident, VC10, BAC111) are so long down the road since they would probably be freeware github developpers once sdk is really open must be the DRM stuff..tss anyway, never has the flightsim community found itself in the latest sim version with such a dull fleet of cockpit planes
  8. did you operate as Mike (floundy) suggested? to all people that find huge vertical speed discrepancies... Autopilot applies feet per minute (fpm) depending on the plane SPEED if speed is programmed in the fmc (managed) it will use that speed if managed is chosen but no speed is input in fmc > problem! autopilot will first think speed is unlimited skyrocketing fps, but since its not as soon as speed below 250 it reduces fpm to 200ft, and repeats this bouncing glitch Either set your speed parameters on fmc or use "selected speed" in mouse option autopilot Hey, i have been away from Sim since October, before 3 updates and problems with operating Airbus autopilot had endless threads both here and msfs forum and its still going on!! And it will go on because people come into the sim or first try this realistic Airbus every single day and the fact is no one bothers to learn how autopilot works in a real airbus. In a real Airbus IF you take off without every single speed and waypoint programmed in fmc not only the plane will go crazy up and down not knowing what fpm to apply, you would also be sacked and go to jail, even if there is no accident because your colleague pilot manages to control the plane. There's is no point crying and saying autopilot doesn't work You can watch YouTube video tutorials by Real Airbus Sim a320 pilot its all about proper programming fmc in climb waypoints with target altitudes and speed, keeping throttles in CLIMB position, or if you don't want to follow fmc exactly, keep altitude and airspeed in selected mode and choose a desired vertical speed be sure> you must learn how to fly Airbus autopilot, and if you think you know and you are having problems...you dont
  9. You can also try drop down menu from within the.sim click far right on settings and reset all
  10. An airfield high above sea level needs lean mixture air in order to take off
  11. The previous link for support fix was closed due to repetition This is the link to upvote https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/the-dolphin-dance-is-back-in-1-9-3-0-pitch-oscillations/288096 And as moderators in MSFS have said, Asobo team is aware and a fix should come out i. Next patch.
  12. Oh dear! And he carries on and on... Learpilot, i learned a lesson with you “Never buy Throttletek” First its overpriced, second it has poor config that is unable to easily work with msfs I understand your frustration, but you should aim it at Throttletek Msfs has more complex features working in realistic autopilot and garmin than any other sim on launch
  13. Thanks Tim This badly needs to be posted across the MSFS forum, Discord, Reddit and Xbox to enlighten the "AP doesnt work" gang
  14. Are you using the Mod? If true Its likely you renamed the dir or didnt copy the proper dir to community, or have an old mod installed
  15. Exactly You can find tons of discrepancies with real life I miss the tyres short squeech sound when landing one of many examples As overexposed as it is its better than not being overexposed like other sims. Im glad overexposed is a feature that differentiates it from other sims, i dont want a clear outside view cause in real life when your eyes are focused inside the cockpit or the cabin ALL outside view is overexposed For the view to get normal you need to press your face in the window so the eyesight lightning balances and clears the view, which in the sim equal to external camera
  16. I reccomend watching the latest Mod review by a real airbus 320 pilot
  17. How are you typing here? You type first, then you dial up a provider with an analogue modem and when you hear the connection noise...the message is sent? Is that so? Or are you using broadband? Or there is cable internet in you area now? You dont want FSX, you want MSFS but dont have the PC or internet to run it. Put it straight, say the truth Humanity moves forward and standards improve. NO, you dont need to download US scenery 452gig, you just start Msfs and take off and the scenery is there (effortless online download as you fly) On the second time you fly a route the scenery is already on cache and don even need internet Will MS update Fsx for old computers? No. Nobody cares about old computers, even Windows 7 and XP is out of support already by MS You see, if we dont move forward...we dont move forward. The energy spent by an employee touching fsx or win xp could be more useful for society working for the new standards. Msfs IS fsx, only updated to the present. Take your time and see when you can get yourself a normal pc rig and internet and you are all set Or stick to fsx as it is
  18. This is a good video example, it does two thungs: a) shows other sim users there is nothing compared to msfs (except real life) b) real life is overexposed
  19. Go to far right in drop down menu where Settings is and click "Reset all panels" something like that, might work if the problem is with the menu display
  20. I agree, the bright washed out view is more real than any other sim out there. THANKS msfs for improving this feeling. In exterior camera the view is clearer, equals puting you eyes /face at a window with no interior allowing for light adjustment of the eye
  21. Some basics must be remebered when installing Mods a) low caps dir, best dont rename dir b) the actuall valid dir is inside sometimes 2 envelope dirs, make sure only the last dir goes into community d) make sure previous mods are deleted from community
  22. In an airplane, wether cockpit window or passenger be it clear or cloudy, the brightness is so strong you need raybans. You try not to look straight at the window cause its painful. If you do want to look outside, you put your face close to the window and let your eyesight adjust from interior to exterior
