Still hoping some company develops an Ercoupe 415-C -

 

Like this one? https://www.brsimdesigns.com/ercoupe-415c/

No problem, happy to help.

It's a feature! Apparently that's how the real A320neo is. It's to do with the alignment of the GPS after the ADIRS (overhead panel top left) is set to ATT. There is an option in the MCDU to set it to "fast alignment", press the MCDU Menu key then select Options and Align Time. You'll be able to select Fast, Instant or Real.

Have you pressed the "CLR" key first to clear the default numbers? I found that confusing at first.

Looks like its related to the underlying Bing data. When you view areas with the emerald green problem in MSFS it turns out that the Bing maps have the same colour cast.....

Thanks again for the pointer - i'm still having trouble finding a solution though.

Thanks, yepp that looks like the same bug certainly.

I've been trying to open a topic at the Microsoft Flight Simulator Forum to explore the problems with this emerald green overaly appearing at EGNS but keep getting the message "You are not permitted to view the requested resorce" when I try to create the topic.

 

Has anyone here got an idea about (a) the scenery problem or (b) the forum problem. Thanks for any help!

I believe "sim rate" can be varied using the "R" key along with "+" or "-".

 

It's actually "R" followed by "CTRL" with "+" or "CTRL" with "-" on the numeric keyboard. Wasn't easy to find though!

It's tough on freeware developers and payware developers alike, but with around 250 UK free-ware scenery addons that i know about (thanks guys for all the efforts!) it's hard to see how a general update won't step on some people's toes. The sad thing is it will probably make freeware developers hold off until after the January update. The main thing I hope for from Asobo / M'soft is the broad base stuff than individuals can't do - like improving the scenery mesh. I'm not sure if they plan to improve the ai place buildings too?

I read somewhere that by not loading certain scenery etcetera, during startup, startup happens much faster.

Is that true?

 

Certainly having an empty Community folder makes a big difference - I have around 100 mod folders and if they are present loading to the "press any key" screen (before the current update) took around 15 minutes but with an empty community folder, 1 minute 10 secs. I hope that Asobo can do something to make this less of a problem otheriwse the add-on community is going to feel hamstrung.

I quite like the Live Pause feature - in other games where other players are live its a pain to not be able to pop away from the keyboard for a while without dire results. However, one thing that folk need to know about this feature is; it ONLY pauses your position. Fuel consumption continues. Popped away from a flight to have breakfast and came back to unpause and found myself plummeting to earfth with nothing in the tank. Teach me to check the dip stick before taking off!

Can anyone tell me what the ATC is like now in this new Sim compared to FS2004 and FSX? Is it still mundane, or is there real holding patterns, SID and STARS and all the rest? LOL That's what I was really hoping for. Though, if it's not there now, perhaps a future update will bring the capability.

 

On first look it seems pretty much the same as FSX to me except that on my first IFR flight I lost the sound of ATC on a few messages (they were still in the text window). The flight planner has SIDs and STARs built in.

I was given a bozo name and image for my x-box profile and have yet to figure out how to get rid of it for something more appropriate for someone over ten.

 

Someone mentioned getting rid of the funeral music. Where and how?

 

 

You can ditch the music in Options - General - Sounds. There isn't as choice to turn it off ( although there are two alternatives) but at the bottom of the page you can set the volume to zero.

 

On the dumb x-box live names I was something like BlazingOrc2736 but you can go into to https://account.xbox.com/Profile and change your gamer name and profile picture.

Found one here at the ORB-X site.... https://orbxsystems.com/forum/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=118932

Has anyone found (or compiled) a list of keystrokes for controls...... ?

Well, I think they should make the new sim available on 3.5" floppies and so it will run on Windows 3.1 like the first version of FS that I had.....

You could try:
