  1. Hello, Boeing 737 Max's latest problem is quite serious. The inner part of the engine nacelle does not withstand the temperature of the deicing system! It could lead to a catastrophic engine failure. To benefit from the old 737 certification, they 've kept the deicing manual control but the new nacelle material can be damaged when the aircraft is no longer in icing condition. To mitigate the risk there is an airworthiness directive which requires the pilot to switch off the deicing system after 5 minutes in no icing conditions. There is no sensor to detect the icing of the aircratft, it is for the pilot to asses the situation. Under pressure from a senator, Boeing has decided to halt the certification process for the Max 7 and max 10 pending a solution to this problem which affects the entire Max fleet. It could take up to one year. Not reassuring to fly on a Max! When an engineer designs a heat generating system, is wise to make sure that it can withstand the temperature at which it is supposed to work. Clearly, not for a Boeing engineer.
  2. Hello, well not really... Last week I flew in Tennessee real weather and encountered icing conditions. I had to divert while I was becoming more and more worried watching the ice accumulating all over the airframe. Pretty well rendered in FS 2020! I made it but it was a scary experience.
  3. hello, It is strange but some objects appear in pink colour such as the control tower and some aircraft too. It seems that I am the only one to experience this...
  4. Like Rocklife, I don't use DX12 so I am afraid it will not help.
  5. Hello, I fully agree. It is not a once in a blue moon bug. It is always present at some locations. It seems to be height dependant. As I am getting low, it seems that there is a fight between brownish tiles and greenish tiles, the latter winning when the height is a few hundreds feet AGL. As I was flying over the French alps (Near Alberville), the switching tiles were all over the place. I am curious to find out if everybody experiences this at the same locations. Maybe we should start a list of the affected areas and check if it is the case.
  6. Hello, Does anyone know if Asobo is aware of this annoying issue and is working to fix it? THX
  7. Exactly, it is like a duel between older and newer tiles, as if there was no priority, with no winner. It should be fixable, or I am being naive... It does not happen everywhere. Last night I flew in wyoming and the scenery was perfect. Maybe there only old tiles only at that area.
  8. Hello, I've been experiencing this issue lately. It is really annoying. I've always been impressed by the visual quality of the scenery but now there is a big problem. I hope Asobo can fix it. Another minor issue is when you have trees scatterred on top of mountains where there is no longer any vegetation. Unfortunately there is no option to reduce the tree density. Not realistic at all. I don't like complaining about MSFS because it is such a nice software, but...
  9. Hello, I've not found the answer to this question yet: Are gear and flap overspeed damage simulated? THX
  10. Hello, Sometimes it refuses to fire up either with my saitek switch panel or with the mouse. I've never been able to find out why. In addition I have experienced some CTDs. I've given up and uninstalled this aircraft. Too bad, I liked it. I think they should have added a flap overspeed damage feature. I may reinstall it when the starting process is fixed
  11. Hello, When I first flew over Auckland, the scenery was awful with melted buidings all over the place. I have a poor internet connection. PG is on. I have a 1070 video card. I tried enabling the scenery cache and the rendition was excellent. Isn'it why the scenery cache is implemented? As a side note, I am always impressed by the power of the computations that are required to display so many details, buildings, trees, lightings, shadows, terrain, clouds, cockpit view, everything in a dynamic enviroment. For someone who studied 8 bit microprocessors in the early eighties, I find it mind blowing!
  12. http://www.migman.com/article/henriques-dudley/bio.php He must know something in aviation...
  13. Hello, Nice mod but at times, it is frustrating because starting the engine is problematic. Fuel selector ON, battery ON, mixture rich, throttle 1/4, engine prime 3 to five times, ignition ON and maintained but it refuses to start even with mild outside temperature. I don't know what to do.
  14. Yes it does but only if an airline operates a line within the selected distance window. I want to fly VFR routes for GA flights so that is not what I am looking for. Having said that, it is a nice tool.
  15. It seems that you cannot enter a departure airport and a distance min and max only.
  16. Hello, Sometimes I don't know where to fly in FS2020. It's too big a world... I 've found this neat application: https://flight-route-finder.web.app/ I select a departure airport, a min and max distance and it generates 10 flights. If you click on one of the suggested flights, it draws the corresponding flight in skyvector. Simple and easy to use.
  17. Hello, I've just updated FSTL (base and injector) and now I am seeing only generic liveries. MSFS settings as instructed. Any clues? THX
  18. Well... it worked for a while and the problem came back. I had to disconnect from MS Store, shut down reconnect again. Not cool. I checked the MS site and found some crazy "fixes" (reinstall windows (are you serious?) or complicated files modifications) which seemingly don't work. By the way, maybe a stupid question about the Xbox app (see OP), is it something which is required when you don't use Xbox? THX
  19. Hello Howard, Thank you. I had this issue for a few days. Really annoying. I tried what you suggested (except the Xbox related lines, because I was not connected) and it worked
  20. Hello, I am not comfortable with the cockpit view because it is obstructed by the window frame. When I check RL cockpit pictures and videos, it seems to me that the central windows are wider than how they are represented in FS. What do you guys think?
  21. Thank you for your reply. In fact Gaming service is a coward. When I closed its page to try your fix, FS launched by itself! I had tried this before but it did not work. I guess that your fix is a threat to gaming services 😀. It is always the same thing with a piece of software, you never know why it works or why it doesn't...
  22. Hello, When I want to launch FS (PC version) , I end up in the Microsoft store/game services page and I cannot do anything. I disconnected and reconnected to no avail. How on earth everything is always complicated ? Any idea how to make this mess work? Thank you
  23. Hello, I may be wrong but it seems that you can sill extend the flaps well above VFE without consequences. I am surprised that they did not choose to simulate flaps damage.
  24. Hello, Is there setting to reduce cloud reflections over water. I find them a bit too much... THX
  25. Hello, Same problem here. I cannot get any australian point of interest. When in the store, it tells me it is "free" , next to that label, there is another one with "error" and when I click on "get it", it does nothing.
