I use 'mouse-look' mode to pan freely around the cockpit much faster than with the hat switch on my yoke - simply click the mouse wheel to toggle it on or off. I think it was Leonardo Da Vinci who said "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

My next car will not be a Ford. Does anyone care?

The Men In Black from Ford will be calling on you to use the 'flashy thing' and make you forget about posting that!

FWIW, I've just posted in another thread that I think a few features in FS2020 are merely 'place-holders' and have never been properly updated or fixed - it was probably easier to start from scratch with them, hence FS2024.

Not everyone wants to "fly a camera" in 3D cockpits nor have to wear odd headgear.

I agree completely. The first computerised machine I ever worked on was a photo-typesetter which was entirely keyboard controlled because mice hadn't been invented yet. That machine was serviced every 6 months and the service engineer once told me that the keyboard was such an important part of the system that it should be inside the casing, not outside! So in flight sim the keyboard, mouse and monitor is the right way to do it for me, even more so now that I have an HDR curved monitor which removes the 'fish-eye lens' effect on flat screens in MSFS, and adds 10 FPS believe it or not!

To address the OP's points, I have to agree to some extent - when you start looking under the hood a few of the features of FS2020 are merely 'place-holders' and not many have been significantly updated or replaced so far. It was obviously easier to start from scratch with those, so let's hope that's what they've done with FS2024.

All my downloads are for FS2004, and all have been "infected" recently. 

Thanks for clarifying - so that's two separate libraries affected for definite.

Some have the Issue, some don't. Why it happens? That's the $64K question...

The MSFS library files are affected, other libraries seem to be unaffected. For those of us who contribute to the MSFS libraries, this is as embarrassing as it is frustrating.

I override the block then scan the download, it is clean;  a couple of times I have uploaded the files for an online scan ...all clean.

Not many people will go to that trouble; they'll take the warning at face value, cancel the download and get file from elsewhere if possible.

I hate to say this, but if you refuse to investigate, the conclusion is obvious: I won't download from your site anymore.

This is the conclusion which most members have already arrived at; nobody wants to download a clearly flagged virus.

At this late stage, it will be the entire sim. Everything on the disks will be obsolete by now.

... in the web browser of your choice! Prices are in estimated USD only, but all the other features are there: https://msfsmarket.place/

Good morning.

I have downloaded a Boeing 787-8 from CamSim, in this site. When I try to fly, the plane is floating about 2/3 feet from ground. How can I solve this?

Thanks in advance your kind answer.

 

 Please post your question in the FSX forum, this is the MSFS 2024 forum.

Never mind FS2024, SU15 would be nice - at this rate it'll release on the same day as City Update 06 and Local Legend 15! (Scheduled for next week, if anything goes to plan with this sim lol)

Also the sim has been launching with the update screen flashing up and then starting in windowed mode for the past week.

Yes the expansion packs are optional and can be safely removed from the content manager - along with any world updates and city updates you don't need, these are optional too.

Simbrief makes it easier to program the FMC....lol....just "plug and play". No 15-20 minutes of programming each waypoint, weights, fuel, etc.

Ah! of course - I gave up on the airliners back in FSX (after 9-10 years of flying nothing else) so I forgot about all that FMC stuff!

I've given up with Simbrief. It only works properly if you also have a Navigraph subscription, which I don't have. If you take the time to learn how to flight plan using the default World Map features, it does everything that Simbrief does anyway.

Are you in DX12 mode? Try DX11 instead. I just googled "CoherentGTCore.dll" and one result suggested a DX12 issue along with Live AI Traffic, but I'd suggest switching to DX11 mode first.

Never was an issue since I bought MSFS and my new gaming PC. (Specs in sig) Only recently has this been happening.

It could be due to a gradual build-up of memory-hogging add-ons lol! I doubt it with THAT rig though...  Maybe it's a corrupt livery on an AI traffic plane somewhere.

I am having the same issue, although not on every flight.  I changed from the development version to the FBW A 320 to the stable version to see if that was the issue but it did not make much difference.  Sometimes, but not every time, pressing the Pause  key will get it running again.

I'm surprised that a GTX1660ti can run MSFS on three monitors AND TrackIR3! I suspect there's a bottleneck there...

It could be that your Xbox Credentials were corrupted in the power outage. You can delete them and restart your computer, when they'll be regenerated automatically.

To do this, type Credential into the taskbar search window.

Click on Credential Manager.

Click on Windows Credentials.

Click on each entry beginning with XblGrts and select Remove - there are a lot of them, but it beats a full re-install!

Close Credential Manager and reboot your PC.

If Model Converter X can import the P3D model, it should be able to convert directly to MSFS format - but this is a very hit-and-miss process and you'd be better off sourcing your aircraft from Military AI Works, who have already produced an MSFS-native package: https://militaryaiworks.com/

Your legacy models, liveries and flightplans need to be FSX native to work in MSFS, older stuff just isn't compatible.

YouTube has all the answers these days, here's a tutorial on the Thrustmaster Hotas: https://youtu.be/1Z5yhHAhWOQ

Select the Dune expansion in Content Manager and then click Delete.

Restart MSFS, go back to Marketplace and install the Dune expansion pack again.

You'll need something like Axis and Ohs software: https://www.axisandohs.com/

There are others out there, but I'm no expert on cockpit building but hopefully someone who is will chime in here.

I have mine set up on my throttle quadrant, but I'm sure you can assign the command to anything - under the Power Management settings, look for DECREASE CONDITION LEVER. You might have to press and hold your button for it to work.

This sort of thing has happened before. More than likely, the cause is an upgrade to your browser, to Windows, or to some other security software you are using.

I'm only seeing the malware warning on downloads from flightsim.com, downloads from other sites are fine - this is with MS Edge browser.
