God bless you. I've gone through a very similar situation. When you're in a situation like you describe, it's very hard to keep your life intact. Give yourself the grace to do what you need. I had to pretty much put all my passions on hold. Not by choice. It just happened. Nothing lasts forever, including bad stuff. Take care

I didn't watch, but I'm of a mind that technology, or because of technology, is a massive filter blocking truly advanced civilizations. I mean, just look at where we are at this time. Hot enough for ya?!

Yeah. I think, while Chaseplane is running the default flashlight is disabled to avoid conflicts.

I learned to do this as well. Still no dice.

@Farlis Yeah, I've read the manual. Anyway, I've found a solution for the units issue. The aircraft uses the main MSFS units configuration setting. I had mine set to Hybrid, for some reason. Changing it to U.S. setting fixed the units thing. However, the Vspeeds still blank out and even setting them the alternate way, they still blank out. I've watched a couple of videos and both folks had the same issue, although they didn't talk about it; both V-1 and Emanual. So I'll wait on the update to fix the Vspeeds thing.

I'm trying to figure out my problem(s) and have failed. The CDU and other unit displays (fuel) has a mixture of Kg and Lbs units. I think this is causing the 'VSPEEDS DESELECTED' message every time I set (Send) the Vspeeds. I realize I can 'just fly it' but this is seriously bugging me. Does anyone have guidance on how I can solve this? In other words, get everything to use one set of units or the other. Background: as I progress through the checklist and program the CDU, I initially have the Vspeeds displayed on the speed tape. But, without any messages, the speeds disappear at some point. Maybe when I set the OAT to get the thrust limitation on the Performance page. Or, when I set the flaps to Take off (15 degrees). When trying to send them again, the speeds are removed and the CDU message 'VSPEEDS DESELECTED' is displayed.

Knowing this thread should be dead, I'd like to apply a final nail... I give up for now. I like what they have going; lots of stuff is great. But, the performance is not good. Also, the performance varies from flight to flight. Last night's flight was a quitter (just give up and exit the flight.) This was with the 1.07a version. With the latest MSFS update (V6) and enabling DLSS 4.5, I'm getting 90fps in PMDG B737s and close to the same with the Citation X V2. Why suffer with 24fps that chugs along like unpatched FSX? I love the aircraft and systems, but it needs a lot of re-coding/optimization before I'm ready to try again. /end threadkiller

Ground school time! When learning these systems I would 'sit' in the aircraft and practice. Systems powered up, parking brakes on and flight plan in 'hand' and just go through the steps outlined in the many videos about 'programming' the MCDU/FMS. Once you get the hang of it, it's quite eazy.

seasley, you've got it. Thanks very much

Yeah. Judging by only 1 (your) reply this not something common. I'm experimenting with Atmos Core and GTX. I doubt these have any affect, but you never know.

I have this problem with Live Weather enabled and changing the local time. My scenario is: loading into my flight and noticing it is dark and I want to fly in daylight, I alter the time using the Flow Essentials time widget. This is most often done by moving the time back to before sunset. The problem I'm seeing since Update 6 is the temperature is high at upper altitudes. Really high. For example, TAT of +37C at FL300. Obviously, the aircraft doesn't perform correctly and climbing is impossible. I 'solved' this issue by selecting a weather preset. Has anyone else seen this? Am I misunderstanding how this works? I assumed the sim would continue to use Live Weather regardless of the time. Or, maybe the sim used to do this, but no longer?

Yeah. TMTC is what I used to say. using old man voice: "I remember the old days...in P3D times, we had 2-3 good aircraft and we liked it like that!!"

Try searching for PBI There's 'reasons' involved...

Will no one think of the children?!

I went from Medium to High on Texture Resolution. Small increase in GPU memory usage. Seemingly a moderate increase in system RAM usage. And, a small decrease in average FPS. All and all, not a big difference; High resolution it is then.
