Hi again all. I dusted off my old CH Yoke, calibrated it and set it up for MSFS as per YouTube instructions, and I have to say it's working GREAT ! But I am looking for a good throttle set. I was thinking about the Honeycomb throttle set but I've read online and watched YouTube videos about the wires for the reverse thrusters breaking inside of it and for 350$ Canadian I really don't want the hassle. I'm seriously considering getting the Logitech throttle set as an alternative because they seem so simple and they're not so expensive that I'll be upset if they break. But I've also read about Logitech throttles having electronic noise and being of questionable quality. So I'm wondering how many of you have the Logitech Throttles quadrant and how you like them over the long term and if they're reliable ! Also if any of you have had the Honeycomb throttle quadrant for over a year how do you like them and have you had any problems. I'm also looking at getting the CH Rudder pedals. I had them many years ago until one of my kids stepped on them and broke them. Any thoughts on those as well ? Thank you all so much, and happy flying !

So update to original post, I am currently logged into my pc as alway and I found out how to update my email via the notification tab on top of website. However I still cannot log into flightsim.com on my Samsung galaxy 9. I have confirmed my password but for some reason I can not log in on my mobile device, either with the Samsung browser or the mobile google browser. I have never had this problem before. Any ideas ????? Thanks again all !

So I've been a member of flightsim.com since 2005. With cookies enabled I very rarely log out of the website. And I haven't changed my password since day one. From time to time I do log in on my cell phone as well but recently I can't log in on my cell phone because the website no longer recognizes my password on my cell. I'm now terrified of being logged off accidentally on my pc because I don't know how to change or update my password and I apparently don't have an email address assigned to my profile or if I do, I don't know how to find it. So how do I update my contact info and update my password if I should ever need to. Thank you all for your help...

Hi there. Is the trackir still available ?

Hello all you happy flight simmers. I live in Toronto Canada and I am wondering where I can order Natural Point's Trackir from. I see it on Amazon, but the brand that's available does not say Natural Point. It says MYXE or CASATX. and their hat pieces come in 2 pieces. https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=natural+point+trackir&s=price-asc-rank&ds=v1%3AiqYlZ%2FlwecPPyvr8YE%2FfIBcRmuL%2BwhgxpCYSxvIFRW4&crid=4ZQAS2DAWO5P&qid=1659253093&sprefix=%2Caps%2C53&ref=sr_st_price-asc-rank The above link is what I get on my Canadian Amazon site for Trackir. I could always order it from Natural point but their shipping is super expensive. I would really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks so much all, and happy flying !!!

Wow. So any responses. Thank you all so much. What a great community and forum this is. I assigned a key for afterburners and voila ! Problem solved. Thanks again all. Happy flying.

Hi everyone. Sorry for the dumb question but, how do I get to full throttle in the F18 takeoff challenge. I put my throttle stick forward all the way. But the girl says I should increase to full throttle even though my thrustmaster throttle is all the way forward. Thanks so much in advance.

Hi all. First off a belated happy new year and thanks to all for the great input on this forum. There are so many great and well know YouTubers who give us much needed info and assistance with MSFS 2020 but there are a few who I find are absolutely stellar bur are getting very little recognition even though their videos are among some of the best and most informative. So there are three in particular who I want to mention and hope you all enjoy the videos. The first is The Flying Dad. He's from Australia. His videos are really well made and he's quite humorous so I find his videos are quite colorful. His link is https://www.youtube.com/c/Theflyingdad The next youtuber also makes great videos that are quite informative and enjoyable and he's Dave McKee and his link is https://www.youtube.com/c/DaveMckee_TheCyclingNut/featured And finally there is a fellow from Canada who really gets into the nuts and bolts of the aircraft characteristics and flight dynamics and his name is Wells Sullivan and his YouTube link is https://www.youtube.com/user/WellsSullivan Hope you all enjoy and get as much out of these people as I do.

Hi again... Thanks for your responses. I don't do group flights and I don't do saved flights. I've been using MSFS since summer of 2020 and weather has always been an issue but it's seems like inability to changing the time of day and weather type mid flight is a new thing. Btw... What MSFS website gives info on weather being unavailable. Is there a link to that website. The MSFS website I go to hasn't had a post since mid December. Thanks again all.

Hi everyone and happy new year. So I'm having a few problems with MSFS and maybe you all can help me out. Not only do I have no live weather, but once the flight is loaded up I can not change the weather options or even the time of day for that matter. I checked my MS connection and it's set to automatic and connection is good. Any one else having issues with live weather or changing weather mid flight ? I also cant change the time of day mid flight. I used to be able to slide the time of day scaler and it would change the time of day. That doesn't work any more either. Thank you all in advance and happy flying in the new year !!!

Hey there MadMav24 ! When you hook the TV to your computer using the HDMI cable, how is the quality of MSFS on the tv? When I hook my tv to my computer via HDMI, the picture quality is all washed out.

Thank you for your responses. I finished downloading all the updates including those in content managed at around 3am. Restarted my computer afterwards and tan MSFS for about 5 mins. Seems pretty good. I'll do more investigating today. Next time I'll try a VPN and pretend I'm in the US. Thanks again all....

I hate to a a complainer because all in all I love MSFS but I started downloading this latest update at 8PM and it's now 12:14 am and I'm at 20 gigs downloaded so I've got another 10+ to go. Average 10-14 mb/s. Absolutely REDICULOUS. this is like dialup. Tried an ethernet cable and that didn't help. Turned off activirus and that didn't help either. Next update I guess I'll try a VPN. I'm in Canada and I suspect that has something to do with it. Even though I'm on bell fibre optic and my average download speeds around 90 MBs.

P Gatcomb is smart but way too fast for me. Kip on the Ground , 2020 fser's, and Flight Sim School are great.

I've been running Windows 11 for about 2 weeks and it's A ok. No issues at all. MSFS runs great on it.
