dschaum

BTW, I'm a real world pilot as well. I'll try to do some Touch and Go's at KCEU. Cheers!

Thanks! Ticket submitted. Although, this is no priority for MS.🙂

I just moved to Greenville, South Carolina. In MSFS 2020, from the ramp, when I taxi to runway 10 or 28 using the only taxiway D, the senerey at each end is distorted and causes the aircraft to run up invisible hills. At runway 28, it casuses your aircraft to crash. Would anyone be kind enough to perform a quick test to ensure it's the sim and not just my situation? I'll submit a support ticket to MS either way, but it would be nice to know if it's effecting others. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

This happed to me on the first flight I did after the update. (I'm on Windows 10) No aircraft sounds from my Aerosoft CRJ; but, I could hear sounds from everything else. I then shut everything down including the computer. Fired it all back up and it was fixed. I can't explain it. Sorry that doesn't help you; but, at least you know it happend to someone else. Again, all I did what shut everything down, reboot, and all has been good ever since.

This thread two years later is still saving people from insanity. Like me! Thanks for posting this!!

How do I revert back to the previous drivers? I just found it! Thanks!!!

I've never had a CTD ever with MSFS2020. However, since I updated my video drivers yesterday, I can't get into a flight without a CTD. Anyone else experiencing a problem with the new drivers?

Nice to wake up to some amusing posts this Christmas Eve! Maybe we'll see all of the missing effects by next Christmas. Dear Santa, I would like "contrails" for next Christmas.

I, as well as many I'm guessing, use Simbrief.com to create our flight plans, then download them into MSFS2020; and/or to our favorite payware aircraft FMS. I guess it would be nice to download/transfer from the Foreflight app for those of us who use it; but, we would need Foreflight to create that functionality into the app.

Water LOD was negatively changed by the latest update. Probably another attempt to sacrifice quality to improve frame rates for people who should update their hardware. You know what, that was mean of me to say. I apologize.

Find the aircraft.cfg file for the plane you want to play with... (This will not remove the pilot) Open the file, then go down and change this: [PILOT] pilot = "Pilot_Female_Casual" copilot = "Pilot_Male_Casual" instructor = "Pilot_Male_Casual" pilot_default_animation = "Idle1_PosePropeller" copilot_default_animation = "Idle2_PosePropeller" pilot_attach_node = "PILOT_0" copilot_attach_node = "PILOT_1" To This: [PILOT] //pilot = "Pilot_Female_Casual" //copilot = "Pilot_Male_Casual" //instructor = "Pilot_Male_Casual" pilot_default_animation = "Idle1_PosePropeller" //copilot_default_animation = "Idle2_PosePropeller" //pilot_attach_node = "PILOT_0" //copilot_attach_node = "PILOT_1" If you want to be even more OCD (like me), then open the flight_model_cfg and zero out the weight of your copilot. SEE the line for station_load.1 I changed the default 170 to 000. [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] max_gross_weight = 3650 ; Empty weight, (LBS) empty_weight = 2600 ; Empty weight, (LBS) reference_datum_position = 3.6, 0, 0 ; Position of reference datum relative to FS(0,0,0) (FEET), z, x, y empty_weight_CG_position = -3.5, 0, 0.2 ; Position of airplane empty weight CG relative to reference datum (FEET), z, x, y CG_forward_limit = 0.11 ; Gravity center forward limit in %MAX (divided by 100: 0.11 = 11%MAC) CG_aft_limit = 0.32 ; Gravity center aft limit in %MAX (divided by 100: 0.32 = 32%MAC) empty_weight_pitch_MOI = 3749 ; Empty pitch moment of inertia, Jxx (SLUG SQ FEET) empty_weight_roll_MOI = 2352 ; Empty roll moment of inertia, Jzz (SLUG SQ FEET) empty_weight_yaw_MOI = 5838 ; Empty yaw moment of inertia, Jyy (SLUG SQ FEET) empty_weight_coupled_MOI = 100 ; Empty transverse moment of inertia, Jyz (SLUG SQ FEET) activate_mach_limit_based_on_cg = 0 ; Activate mach limitation depending on CG position (true if > 0 /false othewise).

This is from the DA40_NG engine_wash_on_roll = 1 ; Torque effect rudder_engine_wash_on_roll = 0.2 ; Torque effect I'm not sure that I want to begin playing with figures here as some of you have noted; but, the second line: rudder_engine_wash_on_roll.....do you think that is what has the plane darting to the left on landing?

Hmmm, I just opened my ORBX Central version 4.1.23 and all is fine; however, I may not be trying to do what you are. All I can say is that my file purchased for MSFS is listed and scanned for updates worked ok.

New development. I fly from downtown Charlotte at 500 ft towards the FSDT KCLT. I'm viewing down on the aircraft from above and I see the shadow of the plane on the ground. I get to KCLT and as soon as I hit the FSDT scenery the shadow disappears??? Of course I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the fact that I have lost all my drop down menus in P3D, but I want to point it out.

I placed this in the P3D forum, then realized it should go here: I started with a perfectly running P3D V4. I purchased PTA Tweak Asst, PTAbsolute (free) and ENVTEX. Installed PTA T.A., then loaded the ENVTEX textures, then used the PTAbsoute Natural Set .ini file. Everything is looks GREAT!, Except.... I have no drop down menus, PLUS, I hit Shift Z and I don't get my frame rate information in the top left, I hit Q and the sound is off but no screen message, I hit P and the sim pauses, but I don't get Red Paused message any longer. I have checked my cfg and all messages should be showing. Here are the settings ShowInfoText=1 Maximized=2 HideMenuNormal=0 HideMenuFullscreen=1 I hit ALT key and the Academic License (which is still showing on the screen in the upper right corner funny enough) does move each time I hit ALT, but, I still don't get my drop down menus. ALT Enter is no help as well. There is one other anomaly I just discovered. FSDT Charlotte is the only addon airport I have at the moment; and, it's the only airport where my aircraft does not have a shadow on the ground......hmmmm is there a conflict between FSDT and ENVTEX? I say ENVTEX because FSDT Charlotte is the airport Matt used in his video and his aircraft clearly created shadows on the ground. ?? I have deleted both the P3D cfg and the scenery cfg files to let P3D rewrite them, but no luck. I'm out of ideas other than I can uninstall ENVTEX first and see if that works. Then if not, I could uninstall PTA. I would really hate to reload everything from scratch, so I'm hoping someone else has experienced something similar. Thanks!
