I would kill for the weather and light from MSFS transferred into X-Plane and would die on the gallows a happy man. Cheers Pete

 

Yep, but xEnviro 1.15 has just been released :-)

Reporting NAV mode not engaging in my Seminole A/P :-/

I flew after the last patch and it was working great. Did you use GPS navigation?

I'll check it again and report back. Maybe I missed some step...

 I bind a  key to AP engage/disengage on my TM Warthog Stick. However, there is dedicated button under GPS that can turn autopilot ON (by using mouse). Make sure you engage it (in case you don't have AP key bind). Alo note HSI must be adjusted manually if you choose GPS navigation. Finally, I'm using GNS530 mod. I don't know if it makes any difference

I enabled UAC - Reset my MS Account and changed payment methods - email matches - Region settings match - reinstalled xbox app - tried launching MSFS from the xbox account- changed permissions - downloaded  many Gbs of non essential updates - held my tongue in various different positions and if I was a bit younger I might have tried a handstand.

I did a flight in MSFS yesterday with the standard 172 from KSFA north up the coast early morning using Weather Preset Pro -Towering clouds and the sky and light was stunning I have to admit. I would kill for the weather and light from MSFS transferred into X-Plane and would die on the gallows a happy man. Cheers Pete

 

You probably tried this, but running Flight Simulator as NOT administrator fixed it for me.

just got it and hsi/nav2 is not working, even after reinstall twice:

hsi red flag on nav, not slaved to gns530-looking thing

no glide slope

nav2 obs dial not moving (loc/gs needles seem to deflect ok)

Know issue. It was broken by last ASOBO update.

Ughhhhh...no wonder I've been having a time with RNAV approaches - even with the GNS530 mod.  Thanks for the heads up Jose!

Don't forget to download the latest release of the GNS530.

10-4 - I just downloaded it for the first time this morning.  It should be the latest and greatest.  Thanks for the reminder tho.

Starts to look like XP 🙂

I know they had XP as a reference, but heck... they could be more soft in introducing new bugs / incompatibilities with each new update 😕 - referrinfg to ASOBO, not CARENADO which has done a very nice job with this Seminole !!!

I was going to suggest that, it can definitely fix a broken Marketplace.

Anyone else have issues with the elevator trim in this?  I occasionally have what I would call "runaway trim"...and I know the default trim is quirky and I always use shorts burst to avoid the it from moving faster but this seems much worse than the default trim issue. I use a HoneyComb yoke and have trim assigned to the 2 buttons on left.

Thank you both - I hadn't tried it but unfortunately I normally logon as Admin to slow windows defender down and find that I installed MSFS as Admin and I'm not about to reinstall it again nor Win10 as they suggest just to get it working.

I have had a pleasant 3 hours in X-Plane today flying VFR in the beautiful Thandra DHC-2 Beaver exploring ORBX Nth California but I really appreciate you taking the trouble to post your suggestions.

I'm watching the mailbox for my Honeycomb Bravo Throttle which tracking tells me left Frankfurt de on the 22nd Dec so I will have a long awaited new toy to play with till someone gets back to me from support.

Thank you both again - hope you have a Safe and Happy New Year. Cheers Pete

I'm always logged in as administrator. But I have two types of shortcuts in my toolbar to flightsimulator.exe. One runs MSFS 'as administrator' and the other shortcut to flightsimulator.exe is not done as adminstrator. When I made the shortcuts it gave me the option to check a box to run the executable as administrator or not to check the box. I made one of each.
