For me with a 600+ Mbs internet - the big advantage of the premium membership is NO Countdown - as soon as I click Download - it starts with no waiting. I think $5/month is cheap for the kind of service they provide

Guimbal Cabri G2 I have no problem flying around, sigh seeing, hovering, and landing in semi-controlled state with assist ON or OFF. However, occasionally, after I land I cannot get the G2 to take off. In an external view I can see the cyclic action move the blades in lateral and longitudinal and the collective/cyclic/pedals in the cockpit all move and the gauges show the appropriate numbers. But no takeoff and no motion in any direction. In the external view the camera moves up-down-left-right as if it were following the G2 based on control inputs. But, the G2 stays frozen on the ground. This happens in about 1 out of five flights. Any ideas? I've done the whole Modern/Legacy/Modern thing.

Same world map freeze was happening here for about 10-days last month. The reason it started was unknown and the reason the problem disappeared and now never occurs is also a mystery.

Now I am getting annoyed! I have my CPU and GPU carefully overclocked. I run all the 3DMark CPU and GPU benchmarks and stress tests with no problems, artifacts, or overheating. I can run GPU stress tests with TimeSpy Extreme on an endless loop with no problems. I also stress test with Kombustr4, NovaBench, Unigine Heaven BenchMark 4.0, and GeekBench 5 with no problems. But, MSFS is giving the Graphics error message before the initial splash screen (running DX11) I know how much I have to lower the GPU OC but why in the world can all those GPU stress tests run OK yet MSFS quits on me?

I was on DX12. I switched to DX11 with no other changes and have had no graphics CTD in four sessions and three hours of flight.

I just spent an hour, (late afternoon/rush hour), flying very low and slowly around central Puget Sound (Seattle area) which was my home sailing area for 45-years. I crossed the Seattle ferry routes run by Washington State Ferries about five times and always had at least two routes in sight: Seattle - Winslow (Eagle Harbor the home base of the Ferry fleet) Seattle - Bremerton Fauntleroy - Vashon-Southworth Kingston - Edmonds All of those routes have two boats (the really big ones) running about 20-hours a day. There is always at least one boat underway on each route. And, if they are not underway they are docked either at end of their route. In an hour of flying I saw one ferry on the Seattle - Bremerton run and NOT a ONE on any other route. And there were no ferries docked at any of the ferry landings. There were NO ships anchored in Elliot Bay while my experience is that there are never less than three or four waiting for a berth while anchored. I did see a couple container ships, a gasoline barge, and a break bulk ship underway south of Seattle but none between Seattle (West Point) and Admiralty Inlet. There are ALWAYS many big ocean going ships underway between the Straits of Juan de Fuca and Seattle. I've changed the traffic settings to many different levels, including those the GAIST doc recommends. I cannot make the ferries appear and the traffic in the Sound is about 1/5 of what is really there. I have V3 and North American routes in my Community Folder. What should I do to see more traffic, especially the very interesting Washington State Ferries.

I started getting this error on an ever more frequent basis just after Christmas. I installed the latest Game Ready Nvidia driver and it seemed to solve the problem. Then around New Years the problem returned and was occurring on almost every flight. I made some changes to the Graphics profile in MSFS and the problem disappeared for several days. Then it reappeared on about 20% of my flights. I reverted both the CPU (i7-9700K) and graphics card (RTX 3060 Ti) back to stock, as from the factory, settings. The problem still occurs on a somewhat regular basis. Verified the GPU temp never exceeds 63-dgrees C. Just had the problem CTD after an hour of flying. The REALLY annoying part of the problem (CTD) in leaves Steam in a state where it thinks MSFS is still running but Task Manager shows no MSFS is running. I then stop MSFS from within Steam but when I try to restart the Sim - Steam says it is still running. I then have to stop and restart Steam to get the Steam/MSFS connection back to where I can restart Steam. Occasionally, like right now!, even after restarting Steam it keeps telling me that MSFS is still running. The only I can make Steam work is to RESTART windows. A real PITA! I never had the this problem prior to late December 2022. My hardware has been unchanged for over a year. The only thing I added was a new 48" OLED display so I can run MSFS at 4K. What the heck is going on?

NO - this happens when creating a new flight. Never a problem loading a stored flight plan.

Occasionally - the Flight Planner will allow me to specify Departure and Arrival and clicking on any waypoint or other navaid results in the ADD option but the waypoint does NOT get added. This happens in VOR, GPS, IFR routes. At other times the add function does not work and I also cannot move the map. The direct route shows and zooming in/out works and the navaids show but I cannot ADD and cannot move the display. This happens with an empty Community folder and in both Full and Windowed mode. The non-moving map only occurs AFTER I specify a Departure and Arrival airport. I can always move the map if no route info is specified. Today I had the problem with at least 50 addons specified and could not ADD anything to the direct route from Departure to Arrival. I closed the sim and restarted it and everything in the planner worked as it should. OR - If I move to another airport as the departure; the ADD function may work. For Example KTIW - KORS No ADD KSAN - KORS Good ADD KFHR - KRNT No ADD any pair of airports in California - Good ADD any California airport as Departure - Good ADD any Washington (State) airport as Departure - No ADD all of the testing above was in the SAME sim session On another day - I can ADD waypoints to Washington routes but cannot ADD to any flight out of KSAN I have had this problem for at least a year (the no ADD) but the inability to move the map is very recent. Any ideas?

flying below 8,000' in the 172 G1000 I consistently see winds >25 knots from directions that are >90° off from what I specified, prior to takeoff but with the plane on the runway. In the Weather pull down I see 8 knots gusting to 12 knots at 5,000' AGL. I pull down the Wx tab and verify the settings remain the same as previously specified. I then make a very small change in the Wx tab and subsequent winds in the Sim flight are as I specified.

Long Beach, California - I see 10 or so ships in the anchorage while flying over the harbor with V3. When I get within 1/2 mile and 1000' AGL of some of the ships - they start spinning and making a circular wake but never moving from their point of rotation. At times they spin in a complete circle, at other times a half circle and then reverse. My community folder is empty except for V3 and NorthAmerican routes. Winds set at 9.5 mph.

It was my very first programming assignment ( in QuickTran) in 1968 when I took my first programming class in my senior year as a psychology major. One computer class and I dropped my desire to be a clinical psychologist and went to work for NASA as a Fortran programmer. Several years later did a graduate program in clinical psych and again decided I liked working with computers more than humans. 50+ years later I still like my Flight Sim better than humans!

DOBEE51 - you are right on! I put the GAIST ULTRA VERSION 3 in Community - did as you suggested, and I had read in the instructions, and now works perfectly.

I am a long time user of Gaist ship traffic and really do appreciate all the hard work. I have been using the V2 Beta since it came out and have had no problems with it. I would like to ask this question directly of the author on Flightsim.to but comments and questions are disabled. I have installed the Gaist Ultra folder and the NorthAmerica routes folder in my Community folder after removing all prior versions of the Gaist ship traffic addons. Now, with V3 I see NO ships of any kind, no matter how I set the traffic sliders (starting at 5 and going to 100). I have tested in San Diego where I used to see a lot of traffic and just now in Long Beach California, the busiest container harbor in North America. NO ship traffic! I deleted every entry in the Community Folder, other than the two Gaist folders just be sure there are no conflicts. Still no ship traffic. What have I done wrong here?

I have a lot of addons for the City and County of San Diego, which is where I do most of my flying. Since SU 11 I consistently experience a CTD (ALMOST every time) when flying any aircraft around the county. But, using the EXACT same set of AddOns in Los Angles county, or anywhere else, I NEVER experience a CTD. SO - I am convinced one of the AddOns for San Diego is not SU 11 compatible. I have updated as many as I can but still CTD. I am pretty sure none of these crashes are MS or ASOBO caused problems.

I just follow the checklist and it starts as normal (V 1.4)

How do I get the update? OH - never mind - I was just being inpatient but now I can download the newest version.

Had the same problem with VS - I had previously flown the BlackSquare Velocity XL without restarting the sim. Removed the XL from Community and VS control in the AP works OK.

If I set MSFS to use DX11 - VR works perfectly and I get a surprisingly good FPS using DLSS/Quality/Ultra If I tell MSFS to use DX12 - CTD as soon as I hit CTRL+Tab or use the VR option to turn on VR

Reverb G2 / 3060 Ti Driver 31.0.15.2698 (latest Game Ready 526.98) / Win 10 21H2 19044.2251 / Steam I had been using the G2 a lot prior to the latest MSFS update but today is first try with VR since SU 10. VR works fine in Assetto Corsa. VR works fine in MSFS as long as I run in VR desktop mode (I start the sim from the VR desktop) - I can do anything I want with no problems. When I start Mixed Reality then MSFS from the 2D desktop and then use the MSFS Options / VR / switch to VR I get an immediate CTD. Empty Community folder and also happens in SAFE mode. I've used both MS Mixed Reality and Steam VR with same result. Only odd thing is that when I start Steam VR and then start MSFS from the Steam Library - I get a Steam message that MSFS does not support VR. What have I overlooked / forgotten about starting VR? Two months ago it was so easy and worked perfectly!

Thanks Noel! It was Riva Tuner - I had forgotten that MSI Afterburner uses the Riva Tuner Statistics Server (RTSS) where Framerate Limit was set to 30. I had assumed that 30 FPS limit would not be enforced by Afterburner/MSFS/Win 10 because I had specified None for "toggle framerate limiter", "enable framerate limiter", and "disable framerate limiter" in the MSI Afterburner properties tab/page. I guess I was wrong!

Both monitors are set to 60 Hz - changing % of refresh rate in MSFS options makes no change to FPS RTSS ?? - are you talking about NVidia Control Panel? Global and Program specific are both set to OFF for FPS limiting Riva Tuner / MSI Afterburner - I have "none" for frame rate limiter Just to be clear - I can make the FPS drop by flying at complex airports with complex planes - but while flying at altitude over the desert with nothing in sight - the framerate never exceeds 30. I know it can because "a while ago" I would see 50 - 70 FPS while flying in locations with limited scenery demands.

i7-9700K @ 4.8MHz all processors utilizations < 60% AND > 30% with 16 of 32 MB in use RTX 3060Ti utilization <50% with all memory in use 1080 with two monitors FPS stays right at 30 with no stuttering or other anomalies DLSS or TAA with all settings at Ultra and LOD=400 FPS=29 or 30 (In Dev Mode the main thread time goes to yellow occasionally) Changing to LowEnd preset the CPU and GPU utilization drops but the frame rate does not change FPS stays right at 30 ((In Dev Mode the main thread time stays green all the time) I have looked everywhere I can think of and can find nothing that is limiting the frame rate MSFS options (Synch on or off makes no difference) GeForce experience - no rate limit NVidia Control panel - no rate limit What is limiting my frame rate?

Thanks all - the reason I did not complete my order (Kodiak, KORD, KMDW) was that I am still trying to figure out how to use MarketPlace from Steam version of MSFS. I have the overlay working but every time I order I got the Pending message then the transaction failed message. Tried all the MS and other suggestions but no luck. I thought I might have better luck this morning - but no sale!

Announcement page shows dates of Nov 11 - 15 but text says 4-days beginning Nov 11 so that means it ended Nov 14 - which was correct - the image or text?
