  1. Although there is a lot of problems with this msfs 2020 . it is not that bad , As far as graphics and the scenery being very accurate it is quite amazing , When it 1st came out I thought I'd try it, I set up a flight in the city I now live in , in Manitoba ,Canada , I was amazed how true to real life the buildings and things were , I could recognize a lot of buildings and such , So thought I'd take a look at a couple of small villages where I grew up. (in Manitoba) I couldn't believe it, I could recognize a lot of the buildings in these 2 little villages
  2. I get some kind of error Code: 0x80070005 Anyone else get that?
  3. Yes thanks Dan I did not have the proper program to be able to use the rar files . Luckily my son is a little bit more computer savvy than me , He got it working for me
  4. There's a website likely everyone knows about called flightsim.to where you can download 100's of bush trips . Most come as a zip file . These are quite easy to add to your bushtrips . but some are downloaded as a rar file. How do you install those? Do you need some kind of special installer thing?
  5. Play nice guys . I didn't intend to start a big fight . Just was wondering like a lot of others how everyone is liking this new thing . And why we are having quite a few problems (or have had ) and as Lan says why it is taking so long to get things resolved , Actually the more time I spend trying to figure it out the more I'm understanding it (or some of it) . Been a few days now and things are going not too bad . No CTD's for me . You mention your rudder control Lan . For me it is my throttle on my Thrustmaster TWCS . When I play FSX I have no input ( the computer doesn't see the throttle axis) . It's ok with 2020 tho, Have tried re-calibrating etc but no go when I use FSX . Yes I don't think Microsoft made a wise decision in getting ASOBO developing this thing. Any thoughts on the other things I mentioned a few posts ago , About the logbook , statistic records and look of achievement rewards , etc ?
  6. Thanks everyone for your input . A couple of more things I'd like to add . I have been doing quite a few of those Bush flights and for the most part things have been going not to bad . They do seem a little boring to do. Seems to be the same thing over and over again . Yes your flying in different parts of the world but when the game gives you info about the landmarks it's really not that great , Most times you can't see what is being talked about , Might as well tell me "And there's Tim-Buc- Tu " And trying to fly the headings and time doesn't work all that well . Unless you were to fly at the same speed and make the heading changes at the exact same time as the flight maker did by the time you reach the destination airport you could be miles out. Another thing that happens to me is I get up to a certain allitude ,then trim my plane . But if I then happen to touch the joystick or throttle the trim seems to go to nearly full nose-up trim all by itself . Then if you aren't quick enough you go into a stall and spin and crash. The logbook and statistics pages don't make any sense , I have a lot of entries showing 0 take-offs and landings that are entered in the log book .If I didn't take off and land why is it entered in the logbook? Also I have made some departures and landings and the haven't been entered, In my player profile statistics it says I only landed at 33 different airports . Also says only 42 succeeded take offs It's been A LOT more than that I think . Also those achievement reward things you get are really chincey and bland . Guess I'm spoiled with the nice pretty ones you got in FSX . Anyway I guess we're stuck with 2020 for now if we want something a little new
  7. Ok Thanks . piet and plainsman . Yes it is sure different . My internet connection is very good I think but my PC isn't up to par for this msfs I guess .It will run it tho . No way I'm going to lay out 2 or 3 thousand just for msfs tho. The updates seem to create an untold # of problems . Not sure if a better machine would solve that. Haven't had too many problems lately . Dreading the next update tho . Thanks for the advice on doing a cleaning piet . Someone else mentioned that too . Going to have to do that and see if it helps .
  8. In reading and looking at all the posts in Msfs 2020 . I am wondering why so many have so many problems with so many things so many times ?. The so many things so many times causing so many problems seems just endless , Do any have any answers ?
  9. No , Only got the Thrustmaster joystick and throttle , which I've had for about 4 years . This problem seemed to pop up out of the blue about 3 weeks ago . I've got it mostly working now . with FSX . The only thing that doesn't work is the throttle slider on my TWCS throttle . I have to use the throttle slider on my joystick base . I haven't tried msfs 2020 for awhile , as I'm trying to finish something with FSX ,and don't want the problem to pop up again by using 2020. At first I thought it might be just my own computer and/or joysticks , but when Hardcub said he had the same problem . it sort of told me that ,that MSFS 2020 caused some kind of a conflict somehow
  10. Well finally got it working in FSX in a kind of a way . My son uninstalled and re-installed new drivers . Not sure how much good it done . But got some computer recognition back on my joysticks . Got all my buttons re-assigned . Seem to be working right . The only thing that doesn't work is my throttle slider on the TWCS . But I have a throttle slider on my joystick which kind of works most times . Sometimes I have to keep playing with it to control the power . Sometimes it'll go to idle or go to full power all by itself .
  11. Just tried FSX again , Joystick seems to be working again . I have control of the elevator , rudder , etc . But likely would have to re-assign all my buttons again . The only thing that doesn't seem to work is the throttle in put . It seems to be under full power . and moving the slider forward and backward seems to make no difference . I have a throttle slider on my joystick also . I can't control that either . I have went to the calibration screen . I seem to be able to see it working there , but in the game it seems I have no control over the throttle . g7rta .. Wasn't it you who said that this new MSFS 2020 was the greatest thing since sliced bread ? I think I'll have to totally disagree with you on that. And I'm sure there are a lot of others that'll agree with ME
  12. This MSFS 2020 just keeps getting better and better, So doing some flying and bush trips and notice my joystick assignments had been all changed , Spent over !/2 hour re-assigning them all . Doing a bush trip ran out of gas , But I had programmed to re -fuel (CTRL+ R ) . But noticed it didn't work anymore . Spent another 1/2 hour re-assigning that'. Finished the bush trip . Went back to the main menu . Had done a bunch of those Landing challenges . WHAT ???? Noticed they had all been re-set to ZERO . Isn't MSFS 2020 the greatest?
  13. Thanks everyone . Now I just have to talk real nice to my son. because if I tried it myself I'd be sure to louse it up
  14. Ok thanks and Inuss . Not computer savvy enough to try this myself . But will show my son your comments . He may be able to . Not sure id you read my other post about Msfs 2020 screwing up my joysticks where my computer won't recognize my joysticks in FSX anymore . I know FSX has been done to death but I really don't want to get rid of it yet .
