Is there any way to turn off the overspeed warning sounds like on commerical planes like a 747 ?

Perhaps on realism settings??

Have you contacted the person who wrote (made) the liveries for that plane?

Where did you get them?

no all live stuff is off weather, time, ect. yes it drops down to single digits and its not even from change of scenery it will do it at like when i fly to cali from ny i set it at 50,000 feet so really its smooth runs at like 110fps up there then like 3 hours in it just starts freaking out..

Not sure if this will help- https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/a-workaround-for-fps-drop-after-a-long-flight/437116

So using an airforce jet at 1200mph over new york city every option possible turned up to the max!! i am doing 59 fps is that good?

The standard (least from what I've seen on You Tube, is 30 FPS (or better). Some people are locked in at 30 FPS and have a blast flying! Others try to get every extra frame they can. From my perspective, FPS fluctuates like the stock market, it can go up and down like crazy, just depends on where exactly I am flying and what else is going on.

I've been flying in NYC and getting 50-60 FPS, but then I will fly over a crowded section of the city and have it drop to 31 FPS. I am still going very smooth and if I did not have the FPS counter going, I would not have noticed.

It honestly depends on what you are looking to get out of the sim. :)

On most aircraft that have light control knobs you need to lock on to the knobs with your left mouse button and without releasing contact slide the mouse to the right. The lights will get brighter and a percentage figure will appear as you slide your mouse.

Hmm, will attempt that as well.

That's possible, how can I fix it

Could also be caused by a mod not playing nice ??

Can anyone tell me how to make Panel Lights brighter please .

Which AC?

On the C172, there are two knobs to the lower right of the yoke. On some, pressing "L" will turn them on as well.

People are able to be more helpful, if you provide information about your setup. What storage devices are you using, and what % of capacity are they? Internet connection speed? CPU & GPU? Memory?

And what AC and if any mods are being used?

Ah I see, when you said it you spend minutes adjusting them I couldnt relate that to just turning a dimmer, which takes seconds

Slight exaggeration :) although it did take me a few minutes to find the switch's to dim the lights.

In the 172, steam gauge version there are 2 dimmers just to the left of the throttle, you may have to hide the yoke to see them depending on your set viewpoint.

Yep, been using them. Prior to the latest patch, they were always set to their lowest settings, however now, they are at their highest. Looking for a way inside one of the config files to lower the setting, thus far, nothing :(

Depending on the plane, clicking ALT + L will add some extra lighting on the panel.

The ALT + L is what is called "Flashlight" in the MSFS2020 keyboard assignments.

 

I wish every plane had a good adjustable panel light dial. Most of my flying is in bush planes in cloudy weather. without good panel lighting, it is sometimes impossible to see the instruments.

That is a good keystroke to use. My problem is though, the sim starts out TOO bright, lol, I have to spend a couple of minutes adjusting the lightning to a lower setting. For some reason, the glareshield is on FULL and the flood lights in the ceiling of the 172 are always on upon startup. I would like them both turned down and/or off upon startup. This occurs even in full daylight. At night, it is very overwhelming

Found out why I couldn't find the rolling cache file in the folder, it was turned off in the sim settings. I turned it back on and went back to the folder and found it and deleted it. Restarted with same problem, what size should the rolling cache be set to

Think it defaults to 8 gigs

Have tried on another A/C and it works but need stronger lighting

as I am 85 and eyes not too good.

Thanks

Sid

Yes I have. This affects the two AC that I fly, the C172 (stock) and the 3rd party add on, Just Flight's PA 28

Try opening your Community folder, then look at the folder path in the file explorer window and click on LocalCache there - the RollingCache file should be in that folder, note that you must have 'show hidden files' selected in the file explorer Views options.

Could that option be turned off in the sim?

No it does not work. Pressed L but it does nothing.

 

Thanks anyway

Sid

Which AC are you trying to do this on? Each AC has it own way to turn up the amount of light.

Interesting problem (which perhaps I caused, lol)

My world map is stuck on the Weather icon look. I like the satellite view. Does not really affect how I set up my flights, I just would like to get it fixed. Also, the filters are gone as well. (see attached screenshot, the grey box at the bottom is where the filters should be.

I have narrowed down the problem to this area "AppData\Local\Packages\MSFLIGHT SIM\LOCAL CACHE\PACKAGES\Official\OneStore\fs-base\worldmap". I open up the WorldmapFilters.xml and I would change two values TYPE_RNAV_FIX & TYPE_NAVAID

I would have to do this after each update. This changes the sim to have the RNAV and Navaids ALWAYS being displayed on the map. I have reset these values back to what they were, nothing changes.

I have removed the WorldmapFilters.xml file from the directory (in the hopes it would be recreated once the sim relaunches, nothing

Any suggestions are welcome

Can any one tell me how to brighten up cockpit with panel lights.

 

When I use cockpit I cannot see panels.

 

Sid

Think it depends on the AC. I was actually complaining/looking for assistance for this because they were TOO bright. You can try "L" on the keyboard, that should turn them on, though it may not always work.

Thanks Tim, that was what I was looking for. Unfortunately, it did not do anything. Found out it's another panel the glarescreen. I turned it WAY down, but I am not sure if there is an option to have it set at that setting upon startup.

This is what it looks like when I first get into the AC

Since the update I have found on several AC (C172 and Just Flight's PA-28) that the cockpit panel lights are on, and on full. Trying to turn them down is a pain :)

Is there a setting I can change to turn them off, or reduce them??
