  1. I'm looking for the answer to this too. I suspect it can only be done correctly by following the actual shut-down procedure, one of the youtube videos will show it but in the meantime I'm just selecting "cold and dark" on the EFB!
  2. Reset your Mouse profile in the MSFS settings pages to Default.
  3. There's a freeware weather preset pack here with thunderstorms: https://www.msfsaddon.com/2021/01/msfs2020-weather-presets-pack-v10.html
  4. Happy to report that it all ran smoothly for me too. The only disappointment is that the new ATR can't use World Map flightplans.
  5. Well said Randy. Like the man said: "If you're not not part of the solution, you're part of the problem."
  6. The main reason for addons being released with bugs is that in many areas the SDK is unclear or incomplete: definitions are given without an example or default value, or is defined as "not currently used in flight simulator". Some of the flight_model.cfg "not currently used" entries ARE actually used by the autopilot logic and shouldn't be set to 0 as the SDK implies. It's a work in progress and we can ALL be part of it by reporting these bugs via the Zendesk portal and be a positive, contributing member of the flight sim community.

    Features flight dynamics and ground handling improvements for more realistic performance. Simply drag and drop the "tiger's b350 mod" folder into your Community folder. Flight Dynamics: Payload now has 8 passengers instead of the default 4. Climb rate of 2000fpm with 8 pax and 85% fuel load. (Actual 350i climbs at 2700fpm). Cruise speed 312KTAS at FL240 with 75% Torq and 1450-1500 Prop rpm depending on wind speed/direction. Prop RPM gauge updated with 1700rpm redline. Improved flaps and gear drag. Improved glideslope/glidepath handling on ILS and RNAV approaches. Ground Handling: Nosewheel steering works at all speeds during taxi and takeoff/landing. Plane stands still at idle with brakes off, prop levers fully back (high pitch) and condition levers at low idle. Crosswind ground handling improved: Crosswind has no effect below 15kts taxi speed and only reaches full effect at 60kts on take-off. Miscellaneous: Prop feather animation works. ATC now identifies the plane as "Beechcraft King Air 350". King Air facts and figures now display on the flight loading screen. *Some 3rd party liveries may not work due to the inclusion of a panel folder and files in this mod. Recommended additional mods: FTSim+ KingAir_Sp (MSFS) sounds mod - https://www.patreon.com/FTSIM/posts?filters[tag]=KingAir
  8. I can't get away with anything! I was going to say that I use the ICAO websites to search for correct ATC aircraft and airline codes: Aircraft: https://www.icao.int/publications/DOC8643/Pages/Search.aspx Airlines: https://airlinecodes.info/icao I think the airline codes are for current airlines only.
  9. https://www.airline2sim.com/products/airbus-a320-cadet-training-program I would read the 211 reviews at the bottom the web page - some say it needs pdf documentation for reference, some say the last 3 videos aren't available yet.

    Features flight dynamics, ground handling and texture improvements. Yoke steering only! Rudder axis is disabled, see the Ground Handling improvements section below. Fully compatible with all third-party liveries. Fully compatible with the autopilot feature of the PMS50 GTN750 Premium version: https://pms50.com/msfs/ High gloss finish on all the default liveries removed. Simply drag and drop the "tiger's erco415 mod" folder into your Community folder. Flight Dynamics improvements: Weight and balance adjusted for smoother control. Cruise speed increased to 85-90kias, 2100rpm, 3000ft. Approach speed is 60-65kias, now needs some throttle into a headwind. Enabled Autopilot control by keyboard commands or the PMS50 GTN750 Premium version. Ground Handling improvements: Rudder axis disabled, yoke/aileron axis now controls ground steering up to 20kts crosswind. Texture improvements: High gloss metallic finish removed from all default liveries to reveal the actual paint finish. Version 1.2 update: Crosswind ground handling improved still further: Crosswind up to 20 knots will not tilt the wings on the ground causing the wingtips to scrape.
  11. Could it be a controller or control assignment conflict? If you have another controller connected it may be interfering with your yoke. Control assignments can get corrupted and duplicated without warning so your right aileron axis could also be assigned to another axis.
  12. Have you tried Pop Out Panel Manager: https://github.com/hawkeye-stan/msfs-popout-panel-manager
  13. MSFS should be listed in the Start menu as Microsoft Flight Simulator, you can launch it from there. Once it has launched, you can right-click on the MSFS Taskbar icon and pin it to the Taskbar for quick access.

    Features engine, flight dynamics, ground handling and camera improvements. Fully compatible with all third-party liveries. Fully compatible with the Got Friends 40th Anniversary Expansion: https://www.got-friends.com/collections/freeware/products/40th-anniversary-expansion Includes Wheels, Bush Wheels and Amphibian versions. Simply drag and drop the "tiger's dhc2 mod" folder into your Community folder. Engine improvements: Manifold pressure needle stops at 40" at sea level. Throttle and rpm can be set according to the settings for climb, cruise, descent and landing as stated in the included extracts from the POH. Plane no longer creeps forward at idle (see Ground Handling below). Fuel economy adjusted to achieve full range. Flight Dynamics improvements: Weight and Balance adjusted for improved autopilot control. Less twitchy pitch and roll responses. Increased lift for improved short take-off, and handling at low speeds. Cruise speed of approx. 135mph at 5,000ft, 120mph at 10,000ft (wheels version). Amphibian version cruise speed is around 10mph slower than the wheels version. Ground Handling improvements: Crosswind ground handling improved up to 10kts wind speed. Prop idle rpm improved to prevent creeping forward at idle. Brakes adjusted to prevent a forward roll while braking on rollout or taxiing. Cockpit Camera improvements: Pilot's view adjusted to include the GPS units on the right of the panel. Engine Controls view (Ctrl+5) adjusted for a clearer view of the Manifold Pressure and RPM gauges. Version 1.2 update: Crosswind ground handling improved: Crosswind has no effect below 15kts taxi speed and only reaches full effect at 60kts on take-off.
  15. True as far as FPS goes, but DX12 blurs the GPS screens too much on my system. DX11 displays them sharp and clear.
  16. Turtle Beach do a very good yoke & throttle quadrant: https://www.turtlebeach.com/pages/velocity-one-flight If all you need is a joystick, the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas One is your best bet: https://www.windowscentral.com/best-xbox-joysticks-microsoft-flight-simulator I also use a cheap & cheerful Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse which work perfectly in MSFS.
  17. Yes v1.5 works perfectly with 1.0.2.
  18. You should be able to open the settings screen in Safe Mode.
  19. I would have preferred the glass cockpit P68R model personally, but this is probably the only version we're ever going to get in MSFS. I didn't produce the mods because I think Nemeth's model is lousy, I produced the mods because I think Nemeth's model is worth the effort.
  20. There needs to be an ai.cfg as well as a sytems.cfg, you could try copying the ai.cfg from the Skyhawk if the Arrow doesn't already have one.
  21. Ha! I just got the same error with the latest driver, 531.41: I have now reverted back to version 531.29: https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/drivers/results/200226/
  22. I would revert back to the last working driver. You can download earlier drivers from the nvidia website by doing a manual search: https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/drivers/
  23. The GTX1650 4gb should be OK, but do check that the graphics settings haven't been changed by the last update.
