I think it is a programming glitch. The sim thinks that you must start at the beginning waypoint of the leg you are on of your flight plan regardless from where you are at relative to the next waypoint. I have had success in canceling and then reapplying the flight plan without having to return to the leg's starting waypoint, but that is a PITA. If you time it just right flying over a waypoint and the activating the AP it seems to do fine. Not the way it is suppose to work..but it is a work around...hope this helps

"Bottom knob of the control panel directly below the screen you are talking about. There is a knob the 3 buttons and then the knob you are wanting, top to bottom is on the bottom"

 

make sure you hit the button for MFD...place the mouse over the bottom knob and you can either click or use scroll wheel to adjust zoom

Can you describe all the controllers you use. I think some controllers may have been mapped in the updates that were not before. If you now have several devices that you had mapped, they may now be in conflict??

 

ok...here is an update...first, I would like to thank the Plainsman for his knowledge. I looked in controller area and MSFS picked up a bluetooth Logitech 710 wireless game controller that I use for other games. Couldn't find a way to delete it, so I unplugged the bluetooth dongle for it. Set up a flight from Tampa to Anchorage with unlimited fuel at 31000 feet VFR on Autopilot GPS. Figured it would CTD within an hour.... Set throttle so ETA would be about 12 hours. Landed this morning on runway 25L at PANC with a total time of 12hrs 15min. Seems Plainsman was correct again...thank you.

logitech 3d pro...same one from day one...and a mouse...no other gadgets

No, I have never gone in the developer mode. I just basically fly the TBM930 around Florida and Georgia. Tried the scenic flight, but it CTD over New Jersey....Usually just fly vfr and with gpa autopilot, landings varied between RNAV and ILS....Last ILS into St Augustine had me perfectly lined up on the taxi way...maybe a Harrison Ford simulator...lol

Well, I guess I am going to the side of disheartened. Last three updates have resulted in 6 different incomplete flights in a row resulting in crash to desktop, with the latest one only 13 minutes in a tbm930 vfr flight from tampa to atlanta during climb. I am running with no mods and nothing in the community folder. I always reboot the computer after an update. It is to bad because the sim is really nice, when you can land somewhere. Hopefully they will get their act together soon.

Oh, just for reference, I have completed over 50 similar flights before the updates...so it isn't my computer...

I purchased the Premium for a couple of reasons... One, I know that from reviewing the MSFS 2020 that it is really not just an upgrade from previous sims, but a whole new sim. Two...I like having it all. Yes, the has been some anomalies and CTD, but the reality it is an entertainment sim. I will put up with the glitches and "opps" as long as the publishers keep working on improving it and correcting the deficiencies and errors. All in all...I like it. This is my opinion, yours may differ and that is ok. After all, any landing you walk away from is a good one :)

I had similar problem and I found my solution by changing the weather from "live" to "preset." Completed a flight with no problem. Shut down MSFS and rebooted computer. Have not had the issue since. Hope this helps...

I have found on approaching a destination airport on autopilot, both in ILS and RNAV approaches, either on NAV mode or Approach mode, the aircraft does not follow the path on the MFD exactly. Once, on a approach, I just let the autopilot do it's thing and it will correct to the proper course and proper approach.

I would suggest you might give it a try....could eliminate some frustration with the sim.

Removed all files in community folder, rebooted computer, result....CTD on final.....

I'm sure the programmers test their updates before making it a mandatory update, wouldn't you think?

Two different flights after update, both CTD in flight......rebooted computer after update, and again after first CTD...flying TBM930 VFR direct GPS, one with RNAV procedure, one with ILS procedure, two different destination airports from same departing airport.

for additional information

Went through a "reset to default" in every setting in general and options..

closed the program

rebooted computer

did a "fly again" on the same flight

everything seemed normal in flight

rnav approach and glide worked fine

comms on assist, pilot requested landing clearance at 3 miles, and the plane was out 3 miles.

landed, taxied and parked as instructed by ground..

received credit for landing on logbook

Flying TBM930 from KLEE to KTPA on Rnav RWY19r approach

 

Comms on AI Assist

 

Plane is on final, on glide scope

 

about to cross threshold and pilot announces 2 miles out requesting clearance to land

 

ATC gives permission just as aircraft is wheels down

 

ATC then states did not have permission to land and to exit runway.

 

Also had no winds set in weather, but plane did not fly wings level but canted to the left at 30 degrees.

 

shut everything down, rebooted computer....no difference.

 

Have deluxe PC edition...

 

Is there a way to fix this anomaly?

this is one of many,,,

 

I have watched tutorial videos for different type of approaches on different streaming sites.

 

Almost all of them, at one point, the pilot places the approach chart for the destination airport on the screen without losing the cockpit or any of the functions.

 

I have not been able to discover the method for achieving placing a approach chart on the screen while flying.

 

If anybody could explain how to do that, I would be greatly appreciative.

 

Thank you in Advance:pilot:

RNAV approaches do not line up with runway and does not capture glide slope.

 

Have the approach loaded and activated. Approaching on Auto Pilot in "APR" mode.

 

Have tried several different airports with same results.

 

Is anyone else experiencing this or am I not doing something correctly?

scope/slope..ok..got it...

So going into the sim, it would seem none of the approach flight plans work. I tried both ILS and Rnav.

Once I load an approach, the flight path on the center screen disappears and the plane flies directly to the destination airport. No waypoint markers indicated. No activation of glide slope...

Also it would seem that the ATC thinks the aircraft is somewhere else. It cleared me for a landing at an airport that I was 20nm away from. I am flying the TBM 930. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I have tried several Rnav approaches from multiple airports and the Rnav never grabs the glide scope. This started after the update today. I have tried closing the program, rebooting the computer and it still fails.

 

Anyone else experiencing this and have you found a fix.

 

thanks
