MSFS losing all settings every day now....
vcarlo replied to Soulflight's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
From https://www.flightsimulator.blog/2023/06/01/best-graphics-settings-guide/ Download the official graphics card driver for your GeForce or Radeon graphics card. Note that the GeForce Experience app changes the MSFS graphic settings without user notice, so always clean install the NVIDIA graphics driver without the GeForce Experience. Also, do not overclock the CPU or GPU, can cause random crash-to-desktop issues with MSFS. -
MSFS2020 Map Enhancement Tool anomaly
vcarlo replied to hvw's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Used this mod for a long time, never had a problem using google maps always in Chrome (full satellite coverage). I fly in US and Caribbean have never seen a cloud artifact or odd google label. In fact I was recently over New Mex and observed strange ground patterns from FL400. Went on my other PC, pulled up the satellite images from Google and they were there exactly as seen in FS. (still don't know what the hell they were) 🤣 Hundreds of white terrain squares south of KHOB. -
Paid version of Google Map Mod.
vcarlo replied to Bobsk8's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Very good question ... I really can't tell you to purchase it for some great improvement. This quote from developer is all I've seen >>> "Some advanced features (e.g. custom map provider and future features) need a pro license." If you are happy with appearance and other features with free version, just stay with that. The advanced features I see are rarely used. My favorite option is to easily "Clear Cache" after my flight 👍. I only use the Google Maps Server (PRO) but I have not compared it with other Map Servers as I am very pleased with this one. -

+1 For the "old timers" here you may (like myself) get a few chuckles regarding the talk here of "bad voodoo stuff gonna happen". <<<<< FLASHBACK >>> Lockheed Martin buys rights to FSX and releases Prepar3D flight simulator; HOWEVER each purchaser must CLAIM he is a "student in aviation" and NEVER use P3D for entertainment purposes. This would be a EULA violation and BAD things were gonna happen. I have used the Google Map mod since early release. Because I had donated to the author I was sent a permanent "PRO" license when he released it. My experience has been the same as "The Moose" noted above. -
Sure, just use the drop down menu and select the Weights and Balance option.

Matt (from WT) has stated in discord that fuel MUST be loaded in the sim (W&B screen) and then you must match that on the touchscreen. So the Longitude fuel cannot be edited in the GTC screen, only FOB SYNC works.

Any love for the humble Beechjet 400A?
vcarlo replied to Rune-ENHD's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Just wanted to come here and acknowledge your enthusiasm and applaud your efforts. In all honesty I think the closest we will ever come to fulfilling your desires, is here today. We have two wonderful freeware Citation jets (CJ4 and C700) from ASOBO/MS with awesome mods by the Working Title team. Our best hope for future business jets like the Beechjet 400A lie in the hands of developers like Milviz, Flysimware, Carenado, Flight FX, and others just to name a few. -
I assume he is a beta tester for Navigraph. They are allowing testers to post this stuff...Hopefully this feature will be released soon !

Your HDG is set to 360 degrees. The DTK to your WP ACT is 010 degrees. Your AP is in "ROLL". You are NOT on an intersecting heading and the a/c cannot join your FP route until you activate HDG and turn right about 20 degrees, then activate NAV.
-
NAV on the AP is simply one of 3 lateral AP commands (ROLL, HDG, NAV) . NAV mode simply flies to the next Waypoint on your flight plan as long as the aircraft is on an intersecting vector (while in FMS mode). You may be confusing FMS (magenta route) and the term "NAV". BTW this currently works perfect in the C700 (post AAU1)..

Not sure exactly what you mean. Mine works by clicking the switch on the overhead panel.
