Look at your region settings: Settings -> Time & Language -> Language -> “Administrative Language Settings” Uncheck the box: Beta, use Unicode UTF… Restart PC See if that fixes it.

Yes. I had no trouble with this in the 172 before the patch. Now try this shortly after takeoff, and it pitches up, stalls and is too low for me to recover.

Uninstall MSFS

Sure. In the a World Map, set up your departure and arrival airports. Click on Atlantic City and you should be given the option to add it to your plan.

Someone on the MSFS forum had exactly this issue (at a different location). I could not reproduce it either, but multiple reports should help identify the problem.

Congrats! That means you won!

The object of this “game” is to come up with the right combination of hardware, add-ons and tweaks that make the sim look and run to our expectations. It is very hard to win.

Radio/TV towers, water tanks, power lines. Aviation hazards useful for VFR navigation.

My fans start roaring while in the options menu. No scenery, no plane—just the blurry background hangar animation.

Power plant smokestacks are also not rendered (at least in rural areas).

I liked the 2D cockpit views also. In this sim, you can select a set of instrument views that slew and focus on different clusters of instruments. I think that will be useful for IFR flying.

Are radio/TV transmission towers not in the database? I just did a short night VFR local flight over an area which should have had a tower with a flashing light. I did not find it. Towers can be significant hazards as well as landmarks for flight. These structures appear on VFR section maps. I will be a little disappointed If they are not included at some point.

You also have to click save at the bottom of the window perhaps?

Is there a way to set a view similar to the external forward view that shows the HUD but not the aircraft?

I suggest the Icon A5. Super easy to fly and you can land in the water.
