When i got vectored into Paphos yesterday I ended up about 5NM left of track. Should I have just ignored the vectoring and carried on being a child of the magenta line straight to the ILS?

It is really nice to see ACTIVITY in P3D !!!

Couldn’t agree more. @MatthiasKNU is a real gentleman and his work is second to none. I have several of his sceneries. -
I believe that if you’re cleared for the transition then technically you can fly the published arrival, as long as you respect the altitude constraints of the FAF etc. BATC had me fly a transition into Belfast in my flight yesterday and basically just left me up to my own devices after that for the ILS. I think the answer might be to not plan a transition off the STAR in the simbrief flight plan to force BATC into vectors. The issue is that some routes will end with a VOR or similar on or near to the airfield and it’s very unrealistic to fly to this waypoint and then get vectored. Every ATC add on I’ve ever used back to the FSX days struggles with this. Usually the tidiest option is a STAR that feeds onto the LOC from its last waypoint, meaning that the route is simpler to plan. However even then as with those very long downwind legs such as in Germany where almost always a shortcut will be given, BATC will have you flying the whole thing. If they can nail vectoring, this will be an amazing program.

MSFS presets, maybe. Default MSFS Live Weather, almost never.

I think I might have been, yes.

TCA Thrustmaster Button Customization

A while ago I used an app called JoyToKey, you might want to check that out. Don’t think it can be done within MSFS itself. -
I am trying to learn how to use the G1000 in the Beechcraft Bonanza and followed a Youtube tutorial. I enter my flight plan using the MSFS initial screen (World Map) entering my departure and arrival airports and also select IFR Low altitude airways and the flight plan is drawn between the two airports. I then start the flight and the MFD does not display in magenta the flight plan. I select the fight plan page in the PFD and I can see all the waypoints displayed. What do I need to do to see the (magenta) flight plan on the map? Thanks -
Always impressed how clean the streets are, and how well dressed everyone is, even those of lowly stature are smart in their workman type clothes.
-
Were you „cleared for the ILS“? This implies the descent to the altitude of the FAF.
-
I think that would be too much to expect, as there much be thousands of different local variations. There might have been other flaws during my flight, but to be honest I don’t have enough knowledge of ATC to know for sure. I was cleared for the Lambourne transition to 09L into Heathrow, but never got a descent clearance from 7000ft IIRC. Because of this I had to declare a missed approach. In hindsight I was wondering if somewhere within the ATC instructions, it was implied that I should descend to, say 3000ft.
-
I wasn´t until yesterday so what are you even talking about? Do a quick search on BATC threads here and you will have all information in a minute.
-
I've watched only the first few minutes of this flight, but already noticed a flaw. At Schiphol airport you have to switch to the departure frequency yourself when passing 2000 ft and report that to the Departure Controller. Beyond ATC Tower instructed you to switch, which is wrong. Beyond ATC did not know that (of course) and I doubt it will use the right procedure at all airports world wide...
-
Yes I have, makes no difference unfortunately. Tried now both the stock ones that comes with MSFS and the latest 3.7 versions.
-
Did you by chance ever try to update your DLSS files for both normal DLSS and frame generation DLSS?
-
Seen it numerous times in default weather.
-
As an update, issue seems to be completely related to frame generation. Without FG I am not getting these GPU spikes. Any ideas would be most welcome.

Of course. I am only trying to say that MSFS is still lightyears away from becoming this so-called 'world' simulator that can do everything. I am very impressed still with the way MSFS depicts the world. That is why I have purchased a ship to sail and a car to drive but in the end only to find out that it is still a very limited experience. Although, especiall in VR, the view and perspectve on ground or sea level can be a very convincing one from a certain distance. Immersion often brakes when coming to close. - Today

This is my hope too. They do seem to be passionate and receptive to input -- I'm hoping they'll also be able to deliver changes based on that input. I suspect controlling AI will turn out to be a big challenge. It's not easy to set up a final sequence at a busy airport so you've got a "string of pearls" on final, and I think it will be a challenge to do this algorithmically. I think realistically we'll have to live with AI aircraft that bust the minimum separation on final. If they can even inject AI and keep traffic flowing somewhat believably in this situation, I'll be satisfied.

Interesting suggestion! I've done one flight so far, from EDDF to EDDB. ATC left me insanely high on the approach -- at 20 miles out, I was still at FL 240! Part of this was probably because my Simbrief flight plan included one of the "transitions to final" that are common in Germany and include a long downwind leg (which in reality almost always receives a large shortcut): https://aip.dfs.de/BasicIFR/2024APR18/pages/9ED4D75B3EF47C44F00BD8B567960312.html Despite my pleading for a lower level, BeyondATC insisted that it couldn't clear me lower. The approach controller initially gave me a small descent to FL 210, and then finally directly down to 3000 feet from there. BeyondATC did have me fly the whole transition, and with speedbrake between FL 210 and FL 100, I was able to get back on profile. This was obviously pretty unrealistic though in that ATC should never keep you that high, and they should also usually give a shortcut. (As I was the only aircraft as far as BeyondATC is concerned, I think it would have been realistic to receive something like "after DB462, proceed direct DB452".) Simply descending at own discretion in violation of the clearance is obviously a workaround (and one that I'll start using). But a simple fix that would make this slightly more realistic is if BeyondATC always honored all requests for a lower level. Then if BeyondATC doesn't get the descent right, we would be able to nudge it in the right direction. (And again, a real-world controller who is controlling only one aircraft would always honor all requests for a lower level as long as they are not below the MRVA -- so this would actually in that sense also be more realistic than stating "unable lower level".) It may be a while before BeyondATC learns to give shortcuts, but in the meantime, it would be nice to be able to request shortcuts and have them always be honored (maybe with the restriction that the requested waypoint is in the current controller's sector). Until this is possible, I may try to work around this by not adding a "transition to final" in Simbrief (which I hope would then cause BeyondATC to vector me onto final).

You can use FSLTL in the background and you get AI separately. But without any interaction or control by the actual ATC it's a no from me until they can get that sorted (and I know theyve been totally transparent about this in EA)
-
Usually you can tell ATC you want to descent: you do not have to wait until ATC tells you to descent. You can't request alternates in any way.
-
No, not possible.
-
Few questions: Can I initialize descent or am I at the mercy of the programs vnav calculation? can I request an alternate runway or procedure even if won't follow wind direction?
