PK Microsoft flight simulator 2020 wont install, anyone else with this issue? Install fails and will not continue download past a point, then fails I have a windows x64 computer , most up to date w64 ,with no virus software and no firewall and i am unable to install microsoft flight simulator from the microsoft store. It wont install . I cant get help from microsoft , they are not helpful Every time I try to download it , the program fails to install. Microsoft took my money with no problem but wont provide any assistance. My computer is straight forward and clean and has no virus scanner or roadblocks I have tried everything I can think of but the install simply fails and quits. This is just so frustrating please , anyone here with ideas or seen this before Peter

Hi Yes resolution is set as high as it goes but the textures in the vc are still blurry. particularly bad on things like a g1000 etc. The 2d cockpit elements are completely crisp and clear.. at first I thought if I played with the AA it would help but it never really makes the texture crisp. If I zoom in it gets better. I have pretty good card and a good monitor. Once thing about 4k monitors at high res I is that text becomes very very small and hard to read. I have this problem in 2020 and p3d not such a big problem in plane 11.5 but I really like p3d and 2020 and hope to determine some way to make this crisp

It is time to upgrade my monitor for my set up . I use ms 2020 , x-plane 11 and p3d . I have the same issue in all of the, . The gauges just are not clear on my vc cockpits. they are not crisp. I have a good graphics card . nvidia 1080ti. but i cant seem to get the textures clear in any of them I even have a asus - 4k monitor that does not fix this who has a solution for this It might just be my old eyes but i need a something to fix it Btw im not really up for a curved or monitor larger than 30" Peter

hey i mapped my x52 pov hat switch to look left and look right etc but no matter what i do it always give me a quick left and right an re-centers the view. I hate that. any ideas to get the x52 hat to allow fully free move,movement . i really dislike this change i just want to freely move about the interior with the pov switch

In the old fsx i could assign a "move eyepoint function " to my 2nd pov hat. im trying to assign so i can move up and down in the cockpit.. what it called in 2020 i think it is now called "translate" but how do you map the main pow hat cockpit camera they made this complicated thank you Peter

If you were upgrading your monitors 27 to 30 inches to give you the best clarity in a vc what would you use. I have a 1o80ti card. How do I get the best clarity and acuity possible without blurry textures in the vc cockpit. I typically fly Carenado mooneys and pmdg 738 I realize This post may not work .The simple answer here is that there are a thousand variables of course and my eyes are not perfect but just trying to keep this simple can I get some idea what is giving people great result. ( albeit subjective) One thing is for sure I have a 4K asus hd monitor and it did not give me great results. Thoughts. Peter

what is the easiest way to create an exportable video of a flight in p3dv4.5 Peter

Does anyone have a solution for this When I move a undocked gauge from my main monitor to a second monitor the gauge constantly flickers any ideas? I have frame rates at 50 , sync on and triple buffering on I have 2 1080ti Please assist Peter

so true, Is there any way to get the gtn 750 to reside on my iPad , while using xplane 11.4 running on a windows based sim Peter

Thats exactly what I did and the popup command is back in the menu

I used to have a pop out / undock selection for the 750 in prior versions in the plug in drop down, I can no longer "popout" or un-dock the 750 in xplane 11. .. im sure this has been discussed numerous times but i cant find a resolve ,,,any advice would be wonderful i would be even happy if i could move it to an ipad or a second screen ... anything would help Thank you Peter

I use xplane in window mode but i have/use 3 screens . Is there any way to undock the xplane 750 to move it to another screen and out of the cockpit view. Please let me know Thank you BTW im pretty new to xplane 11 Peter

Just to be clear, Even in the best situation I never saw speeds in excess of 250mb/s so that gizmo was a complete waste. I don't think that there is any hope that our cable company could deliver that service given the state of the cable infrastructure in our neighbourhood! Amazing to me that people pay for such a super speed when the cable cant deliver it . Oh well! Back to flying!!!! Regards Peter

As a courtesy to the group, I thought I would report back after a week of chasing this issue of download problems After actually getting the 747 file I continued to have troubles with getting large files at home I finally gave up and changed my router and cable modem The cable company was using a hitron coda 4582 modem, evidently the newest and a fancy white box that allowed speeds up to 1gb down After a week I asked them to give me a different modem ( CGN rocket modem ) it is capable of 250 mb download which is about all I pay for so the other was overkill I installed it a "voila" I was able to get all PMDG files without incident. The first hitron modem was giving me sync and ping errors on various servers. So there you have it. It works and hopefully, this might help someone else. Pete

Got the file . all good. it finally worked at home ( took some work but i got it ) and then also was able to get it another location.( with no effort at all ) No idea actually what that was all about BUT...... 747 loaded and fueled! Thank you all for your replies Peter

Good Morning Look firstly I like PMDG products , no issue ! . Im not some troll wanting to create a big deal about this. Im just having problems. I can tell you i tried to get the file from a different location on a lap top. ( I can also give it a shot from my office today ) I may actually now have the file it but i have to let you know that it kept stopping during the download. ( like ever 50 mbs it would stop and it said it was searching for the server ). Very strange . So that was yesterday's issue. Hopefully the file is in all in one piece and it will unzip which i will try later when im home. There is really no need for any negative conversation. Just looking for advice and if you are absolutely sure it is not at your server end then i can accept that. If on the other hand i was able to point out that i was having issues then perhaps others were as well. In that case you may wish to have that info so that you could investigate the issue or perhaps provide a solution. I take it you are confident that all is good at your end. Im happy with that answer. Thank you for the follow up and I will report back it i still do not have the file so that perhaps someone can assist me Only trying to be constructive and hoping to enjoy the sim with PMDG products Best regard . Peter

FYI i tried this on a laptop and it did not download. it keeps saying "waiting from a response from pmdg servers" . We regualaly download files of 1gb and larger so something may be wrong on the server end.

Thank you guys but it makes no sense. Firstly i have not downloaded anything from pmdg for a long time. I tried 3 different browsers on two different computers . No Luck!!! Dont think it is any antivirus. It just gets stuck I even tried to turing off defender, and my firewall I would buy the argument that it was me if i had not tried so many different scenarios Thoughts and other ideas. I won about 7 pmdg products, nver a problem. I spent allot on money today on this , it would be nice to get the product Any other ideas? Peter

Today I purchased the 747 for p3d. I paid and got a link. The download refuses to work. I never get more than 10% of the download file. I own lots of pmdg stuff. Never had a problem downloading and installing My internet has speeds up to 250 super fast. but it won't download. Ive tried different browsers and tried about 40 different things ( including browsers ) before giving up .Download runs and stops at 5%. I have disabled firewall etc etc P3d v4 x64 w10 Help, please Has anyone seen this before. Peter

excellent advice ,... ill give all of that a try peter

new problem in p3dv4.2 and pmdg737ngx I have been flying with pmdg 738ngx for a long time but now im getting two strange things and errors occuring The fms will load a ils approach but when i switch to vor or app the ils wil not show on the pilots pfd. I never see the locaalizer ( when selected ) but strangley i see it on the copilots The plane will not fly the ils, it does not show up. I dosee the ils freq on the pfd , i do not see the glideslope or cdi.,I have confirmed that it is loaded and activated. very odd. this has just started recently I am also getting a strage message in the fms saying "PIN PROBLEM " or something like that. Pops up randonly . The copilot pdf does not display this error I am sure i will not be the only one with these issues, but given ive used pmdg 737ngx products for a long time i really am running out of ideas. Help would be apprecited. Peter
