I looked all around my sound settings, and they are all on and turned up. My PMDG 737, FBW320, Headwind A330, etc. all work fine. I do have FSRealistic that I went through and double checked everything. So, I have all three variants of the 787, including the Kuro and Horizon Simulations editions. In all three of them, I just hear the GPWS real faintly, so I was wondering if there could be a volume control inside the cockpit.? Thanks
-
Is there a way to turn up the volume of the GPWS? I can barely hear the altitude callouts on final.
Thanks

Just last night I cloned my 500 GB Samsung EVO SSD to a new 1 TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD using the Samsung Migration software. Couldn't have been any easier. Literally pressing one button. Everything cloned over, including the OS and MSFS started up no problem. Worked perfectly.
I'm wondering if they have both have to be Samsung. My 500Gb is a WD brand. My new one is the Samsung.

Thanks, Dogdish! I think that is what I'm going to do is re-install MSFS. The add-ons I have, for instance PMDG, ORBX, etc., will they need to be reinstalled as well or is it as easy as moving the community folder to another temp folder, installing MSFS, and then adding the remaining add-ons back to the community folder? Thanks

I have the Microsoft store version to answer. Sounds like it will be a long day or so downloading MSFS. The only other option I have I guess is to just clone my 500Gb drive to my 2 TB. That would still give me well over one TB of space for more MSFS add-ons.

Got W10 on my C: drive and all games/sims/MSFS on D:
Cloned D: from a 1Tb to my current 2Tb (temp F: drive) with Acronis WD Edition. Removed the D: and renamed F: to D:
Results: All Steam games worked, P3D v5 worked, other MISC items worked.
However MSFS would NOT start. I did not know how to fix it, so I just uninstaled/re-installed MSFS and works normally again. (ORBX/MSFS add-ons were installed into folder outside of MSFS) worked again.
Maybe MSFS tied to the drive serial number?
I'm still a little afraid of making the right steps. I currently have two WD 500 Gb M.2 NVMe SSDs. The C: has Windows 10 and MSFS on it. I would like to set mine up like yours where I have Windows only on the C:, and MSFS and my add-ons on my new Samsung 2 TB, i.e., D:. I'm wondering if I should go ahead and clone the C drive to the D drive, and then figure out how to get rid of the duplicate OS on D:. Or if maybe it would be easier to uninstall all of my MSFS software off of C: and just start a fresh D: with MSFS only. I hope that was clearer than mud. I'm not an advanced user. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the info. I've still got to plug it in and clone it. I'll report back.

Hi,
I've filled up my 500 GB SSD NVME. I have another identical SSD as well. FedEx is delivering me this SSD today: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/f3cRsY/samsung-980-pro-2-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-mz-v8p2t0bam.
My full SSD has Windows 10 as well MSFS on it. This is the one I'm replacing with 2 TB. My question is, where do I start? How do I transfer MSFS and add-ons to the new SSD? Should I transfer Windows 10 to my new 2 TB as well? Or should I use my other 500 Gb to store windows? I've looked in other forums with really no luck. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you

I just reverted to 517.40 and within three minutes, I encountered a graphics problem. It seems as though this just started out of the blue for me about two weeks ago. I don't think it is anything in my community folder, however, the problem started somewhere around the time I installed Fly By Wire's new traffic injector. Is anyone else using FSLTL traffic injector and having problems?
-
I have what is listed as the latest driver, 522.30 that came out 10/18. I think this is the update that started crashing my system. However, I have had a couple of successful flights now.
-
I'm having the same issue, "Microsoft Flight Simulator has encountered a graphics problem. This could be due to the video card overheating, overclocking error, or faulty driver. MSFS will now close."
I was afraid it was my system overheating, but it appears to be a driver issue. I wonder if NVIDIA knows of the error so that they can create a fix.

I've been with the franchise since '82 and it was a a bit of a grim reminder of just what "State of the Art" technology was in the early years....which were NOT that long ago. I use a signature line on some forums that goes "The older I get, the better I was." lol But I well remember sitting in a bar marveling at the miracle of tech in gaming and shoving my quarters into a square table game thing called Pong. No way on Earth did I comprehend how they were able to achieve such 'magic'.
I'm right there behind you maybe a couple of years. Those were the good old days, except for the technology, but we didn't know the difference, lol. I wonder what flight simulation will be like in another 20, 25 years? Hoping to make it at least that long. FS is all about all I have for a hobby now. Lost my medical over 20 years ago.

Here is a pretty good tutorial. At first, I misunderstood that I didn't need to download the Base package if I was not flying online with VATSIM, etc. However, I downloaded the Base package, and it has all of the models and liveries, and my airports are populating within just a few moments of starting FSLTL Traffic. I'm using all of the default settings and it definitely outperforms AIG as well as being much easier to install and update.

I have this Thrustmaster for Xbox. I think mine was pretty much plug and play. I reassigned a few buttons for the flaps and trim. Make sure the big button just below the joystick is turned on as well. I sometimes have to unplug my Thrustmaster and plug it back in for it to recognize it again.
Did you get yours to work?

I just read the other day that it has been delayed a couple of weeks too. The package dropping in November is the 40th anniversary edition. It will also introduce a couple of new aircraft. Canada is coming soon too.

I'm partial to http://www.flyvirtual.net. You can fly what, where and when you want. Lots of other pilots online 24/7

Did you resolve your issue? I use the FBW installer and the development version, and I haven't had any problems. You have to check on it almost daily as new downloads come out a few times a week usually.

Although I had the failures all turned off, on occasion it will start you off with a hydraulic failure, thus steering failure. You will need to periodically service the hydraulics whether failures are enabled or not. Next time you start-up, go to AIRCRAFT->FAILURES->ALL SYSTEMS then select MAINTAINANCE....EXEC, then CLEAR ALL....EXEC, now save that panel state. This way, every time you start a flight, it will be fully serviced.

Hi,
I've noticed on some of my liveries, I can steer just fine after starting in the APRON state. But other liveries, I can't get them to steer after firing them up. I tried to find the answer in the PMDG Forums with no luck. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks Loki! That's the info I was looking for.

Hi,
I have two NVME SSDs, 500GB each. I'm currently running Windows 10 and everything on the C:. I'm wondering if somebody can guide me to utilizing my other SSD so that I can get the most efficient storage operations out of my system? As add-ons, I currently own a few ORBX sceneries, FBW a320, PMDG 737, and a lot of downloads from flightsim.to.
Thanks

FSX is a plane crash of a program. You couldn't pay me $20/hr to fly FSX again.

I enjoy flying the FlyByWire A320 as well (https://flybywiresim.com/). I also use AIG for traffic and it is a free add-on as well (http://www.alpha-india.net/). For payware, the PMDG 737 that just released is pretty nice (https://pmdg.com/). There are lots of reviews on YouTube.
FBW A320 update, manually or automatically?

The easiest way is to use their installer. FlyByWire Simulations.
