Haven't seen this mentioned so forgive if I missed it. Recently I have had performance issues, including flickering screens in both MFS2020 and MFS2024 when they were in focus. Luckily the flickering went away in VR. After removing the windows update, flickering has gone and performance is back. The culprit is update KB5074109 . https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/yet-another-windows-update-is-wreaking-havoc-on-gaming-rigs-worldwide-nvidia-recommends-uninstalling-windows-11-kb5074109-january-update-to-prevent-framerate-drops-and-artifacting

Not obvious from this thread but City Update 13 : California is also available for MFS2020

Sorry, I haven't watched the video so not sure if this is applicable but I have had similar occasional issues with MFS2020 when using third party pushback tools that I couldn't taxi after pushback. Sometime you also need to "contact" the built-in ATC ground to release the tug.

Everytime I tried DX11 and got "locked out" , changing the PreferD3D12 back to 1 in the config file always got me back in. I'm stumped why it's not working for you.

It's been like this for a while now. No fix in sight. I also have 4090 so not sure it's related or not , others will tell. Also go into your UserCfg.opt file and do the following : Change PreferD3D12 0 to PreferD3D12 1 and you should be able to get back in.

For those interested there is a set of resized FSLTL textures available on flightsim.to. https://flightsim.to/file/91493/downgrade-textures-for-fsltl-fps-booster

@Cpt_Piett Hopefully the fix will sort it out for you. I did a bunch of driver and app uninstalls and re installs before I stumbled on the fix. I should have posted but glad you got the information out to help others.

I had this error yesterday. The workaround you linked fixed it for me

You found the Aeroflot career mode ?

Thanks! Hidden in plain sight

Interested in maybe getting a license to explore the other map options but can't find any pricing even thru the license link in the tool. Slightly related, with all the world updates to mfs2020, are there any meshes still worth getting

The twist axis on this stick can go bad and get very noisy due to a cabling issue internal to the joystick. I went through 2 sticks before I gave up and bought some pedals and disabled the stick twist axis.

For those that like a continuous set of legs to fly. I posted this a while ago in a different thread. My current favorite is https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/random-flight-generator/270848 This will generate multi-leg flights in a sequence, ie A to B , B to C, C to D..... up to 10 legs with various options. I believe pretty much every airport in the world is contained in the accompanying data base file, airports.adb. This file is built from the spreadsheet file airports.csv which can be opened and viewed. What I've found is that if you delete the database file, the program will generate a new one from the spreadsheet file. You can therefore create a new airports.csv file, after backing up the original, and copy and paste only those airports you are interested in into the new file. Pretty sweet. Ed

No unfortunately. Both the latest paid and free version exhibit the same behavior. I mainly use Fs2crew pushback express as my main pushback tool. I just check in on toolbar pushback every time there's a new release because I really liked the pre-planning capability. Same with GSX pro, every time there;s a new release Ill do a re-install and check it out, but always end up back with Fs2crew.

I have the paid version, latest update, and the pre-planned pushback still not working without zig-zagging, using the stock A320. I fly exclusively in VR but as an experiment I found that the pre-planned pushback works correctly for me in 2-D mode. I haven't yet tried to see if it will still work correctly in VR if I plan the pushback in 2-D mode before entering VR.

just to close out the thread it turns out both the cable and the headset were bjorked. Picked up a used G2 headset only ( no cables or power brick ) on E-bay for $120 which has been working perfectly with the new cable ( but not the old cable ). The only issue I had was no sound from the game, but sound into the headset from other sources so I lnew the headset was fine. Turns out Windows had muted the FlightSimulator app volume. This is a tough one to diagnose unless you know that windows has a seperate app by app volume setting independent of the global setting, and that it is only accessible when the app is running.

Have to agree with @micstatic . I'm on my second TCA sidestick. I tried to repair the first one because of the twist axis issues but ended up making a dog's breakfast out of it. Bought a second one and a set of rudder pedals and disabled the twist axis on the stick. To your point, I don'y fly the PMDG that often but I have not noticed any ground steering issues post SU15

@psolk On the download page at Flyawaysimulation.com "In MSFS general options under traffic ships and ferries should be set to 5-10 % for best performance. Increasing above 10% will not add any traffic to this project."

It's a new cable. I'm leaning toward the headset being bad but would like confirmation before shelling out for a new/refurbished one.

I've owned my Reverb G2 for about 3 years and have unfortunately had to replace the cable a couple of times. Last month the headset went again so I assumed it was the cable again and purchased yet another one. However, this time the headset remained dead, with WMR portal telling me to connect a headset. The seller assures me that the cable was tested and was working on shipping. Is there any way, other than finding another headset to test, to independently figure out whether the issue is with the cable or the headset ?

Yeah. Did it twice , BEA both times. I think the 2nd time was 13pounds and the first time was 9pounds. I had another friend who did it and was in a Vanguard, I was so jealous ☹️

Viscount was the first plane I ever flew in. I saved up my pocket money for a round trip Birmingham to Heathrow to plane spot for the day with a friend. I think it was about thirteen pounds round trip 😁

@Corsten Still working good for me. I'm using the Steam and Nvidia scripts.
