Hi everyone All links are down. Does anyone have the file accessible and ready to share ? Thanks

See my settings here - enable real time weather injections - enable persistent weather load - adjust weather updates 5 minutes Thanks

What do you mean by manually assign ? Using liveries is a good work around indeed, but requires more download/storage

Hello Anyone having a guess on how to retrieve Carenado planes' titles to use the models for Vatsim model matching ? The aircraft.cfg files are all encrypted. Thanks

Hi Reed, Is there a way to stop any weather update while on approach ? Trying to land in EGLL with the CRJ + traffic + Rex WF updating = impossible ! Thanks PS : if that does not exist, it's an urgent mean, and not hard to implement (exemple: if plane has been above 20.000 feet for more than 5 mnutes -setable with a slider- than wehen plane goes down below 5.000 feet for more than 1 minute, no futher weather update) Thanks

Hi! I confirm, it does not seem to be an option anymore. Any idea for a mod ? Thanks

Hello I have downloaded the livery megapack. Many liveries come with a painted tail number (directly in the texture), I don't want/need another tail number on top of it. So I set "Show tail number" to OFF in the ATC options. However, it doesn't seem to work as I always have the "ASX320" tail number showing (for the A320). Any guess how I should proceed ? Thanks

You are right but these are not the files I want/need.

Thanks Matt I'll be cautious. I've found the big 1Gb file under the MSIXVC folder. I won't touch it. As for the virtual drive, you are right it's more a driver than a service and I can see the XVD drive in the device manager. Have a good one !

Many thanks Matt for the clear explanation. Just to make a precision : I did not get the game through Game Pass but actually paid for it full price. So, if I get your point : 1/ I should see a service called MS Game or something when I look in the services.msc ? 2/ There should be a very big file somewhere on my drive with a GUID : do you know where taht file would be most probably located ? Thanks again

Hello everyone, hope you're having a nice week-end ! I have purchased MSFS 2020 from Microsoft Store. Files have been installed in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.8.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe with Official and Community folders on another drive (D). I have tried to browse the Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.8.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe folder to see what's there is in there. To do that I had first to take ownership of the WindowsApps folder, which I did succesfully. i'm now able to browse the Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.8.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe folder. Unfortunately, I'm not able to read/execute most of the files in this folder (I was initially trying to acces/modify css files to change the appearance of the tooltips). I have noticed that Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.8.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe is not a real folder but indeed a NTFS junction, pointing to nowhere though (see the three dots) : 19/08/2020 13:20 <JUNCTION> Microsoft.DigitalOwnership_1.0.1.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe [...] 16/09/2020 20:16 <JUNCTION> Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.8.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe [...] When I right-clik on a file in the Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.8.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe folder or sub-folders, I cannot change the ownership nor edit the access control authorizations, even when the owner is the Admin group (which I'm part of, since I'm logged in as an admin). For some files, I cannot even see the owner, so even less change it. Anyone having any idea ? Many thanks Greg

Hi everyone, After a few hours on Flight Simulator, here is a wish list to I will update from time to time. If you guys from Asobo are around .... Installation 1/ it would be great that only a limited zone is donwloaded at installation, with one single plane, so that you could try flying pretty quickly after download (the rest of the packages being donwloaded in the background) Map 1/ I have not found any way to click on a facility on the map to have more details (frequencies, runways etc) 2/ Map should be capable of moving the plane quickly any where in the world 3/ Dezoom is too limited Planes 1/ why isn't possible to pick a plane on the go (without resetting a brand new flight from the main menu) - at least when you are still on the ground ? Slew mode 1/ slew mode is terrible - it should be made more precise, so that you can really move teh aircraft perfectly where you want it to be 2/ why the hell are slew mode controls under the camera section in the controls options ? Controls options 1/ Asabo, we are not coming from nowhere - most of us have 10+ years of practice on FS/P3D - why did you change all the keyboard controls ? 2/ Controls options are terrible - why are the input devices segregated ? I would have hoped for a list of all control options and the capacity to set for each an input (that could even be a combination of devices like spacebar+mouse move) 3/ installation should propose limited controls settings for thoe who know that they will use the mouse to toggle most of the functions/instruments Views 1/ in a nutshell : please make it simple !!!! this is such a nightmare currently 2/ instruments / pilot / quickviews of the cockpit section should all be under one sigle name/subsection - these are all the same things and having mutiple categories makes it hard to navigate 3/ same comment for the external views section (and how come the preset external views fall under the sshowcase section - that does not make ANY sense) 4/ in the external views, using the free move with the mouse (right button + mouse move), why is the view moving slightly on the roll axis (and getting back to perfect horinzontal after one or two seconds) ? That's making me sick 5/ showcase section should be renamed drone section 6/ why are drone movements only with keyboard by default - since drone view prevents the use of joystick to control the user's aircraft you should be able to use teh joystick - or the mous - to control the drone World 1/ thanks for the slopped runway - some are too sloppy though, being nothing less than a roller coaster - example : LIPZ) 2/ you should be able to desactivate crash detection Some bugs I have come accross 1/ LIPZ ground frequency says its Verona not Venice 2/ I have been in a situation in the A320 with full throttle, speed increasing on the PFD but the aircraft not moving on the ground 3/ LF50 runways is certainly not in concrete To close on a positive note, the graphic engine is wonderful. UI is appealing but still perfectible (not flxible enough, controls options to be adapted), aircraft physics seem OK for GA aircraft. More to come

Hi Eduard, I have teh same problem and tried your solution, without success though. May I ask about our exact version of P3D ? When you start a flight with a palne with SVS, do you have a window opening in teh background, then closing again ? Thanls

Hello everyone The title says it all. Can't get this thing to work.... So i have purchased SR22 from Carendo PLUS a separate licence for SVS. I'm running P3D v4.5 (4.5.13.32097) on Windows 10. Usual addons (Orbx, ASP3D4). I keep getting a TERR ERR message on my PFD. What I have tried so far : - uninstall/reinstall the SVS piece (with admin rights) - manual launch of the whole stuff (with start.bat) - tip suggested here - never found the log file though (https://carenado.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003010854-C172SP-SVS-TER-ERR) - fix suggested here - but it apperead that these are the exact same files that came with the SVS installer (https://carenado.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019249953-Syntethic-Vision-System-TERR-ERR-SVS) - all the tips suggested by @Eduard (thanks to him) - the deletion of files in P3D4 Files in Documents folder - removal of dual entries in dll.xml (in the two files that exist) What I see when I start a flight with my SR22 : - a black window briefly open then close (for half of a second) - an icon appears in the notification area (that disappears when I select another plane) - a websimbrowser folder is created in my temp folder - when I type http://localhost:4444/WebSimSVS/sv.htm in Firefox, it does load the sv.html page located under gauges\Carenado_WebSimConnect\data\WebSimSVS What could I try next ? Will Carenado ever care about their loyal customers who paid 35 euros for this piece of word not allowed ? Any help would be appreciated Thank you all

Hi Harry Reopening this thread as it is exactly what I had been looking for .... I did pimp up your code a bit, so now I have : In panel.cfg : Windowxx=Landing Rate Monitor and further down [Windowxx] always_visible=1 size_mm=74,46 window_size=0.076,0.04 window_pos=0.0,0.5 background_color=0,0,0 ident=14080 zorder=5 alpha_blend=0.4 type=special gauge00=Touchdown!VSpeed,0,0 And then created a VSpeed.xml file in a Touchdown folder in the Panel folder, with : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="1,0" id="VSpeed"> <Descr>AceXML Document</Descr> <SimGauge.Gauge id="Gauge"> <Update> <Frequency>6</Frequency> <Script> (A:SIM ON GROUND, bool) if{ (L:TookOff,Bool) if{ (E:ABSOLUTE TIME,Seconds) 15 + (>L:DisplayInterval,Seconds) } 0 (>L:TookOff,Bool) } els{ (L:onDisplayBool,Bool) ! if{ (A:VERTICAL SPEED, Feet per minute) (>L:VSpeed,Number) (A:GROUND VELOCITY, Knots) (>L:HSpeed,Number) } 1 (>L:TookOff,Bool) } (L:DisplayInterval,Seconds) (E:ABSOLUTE TIME,Seconds) - 0 &gt;= (>L:OnDisplayBool,Bool) (E:ABSOLUTE TIME, seconds) 2 % 1 > (>L:OnDisplayBlink,Bool) (E:ABSOLUTE TIME, seconds) 1 % 0.5 > (>L:OnDisplayQuickBlink,Bool) (L:VSpeed,Number) -200 &lt;= (L:VSpeed,Number) -400 &gt; and (>L:HardLanding,Bool) (L:VSpeed,Number) -400 &lt;= (>L:SevereLanding,Bool) (L:onDisplayBlink,bool) (L:HardLanding,Bool) and (>L:onDisplayCond1,Bool) (L:onDisplayQuickBlink,bool) (L:SevereLanding,Bool) and (>L:onDisplayCond2,Bool) </Script> </Update> <Element id="Touchdown"> <Visibility>(L:onDisplayBool,bool)</Visibility> <Element id="VSpeed"> <GaugeText id="VSpeedText" bright="true" bold="true"> <Size>44,22</Size> <FontFace>Arial</FontFace> <FontColor>black</FontColor> <BackgroundColor>azure</BackgroundColor> <FontHeight>16</FontHeight> <VerticalAlign>CENTER</VerticalAlign> <HorizontalAlign>RIGHT</HorizontalAlign> <GaugeString>%((L:VSpeed,Number))%!d! ft/mn </GaugeString> </GaugeText> </Element> <Element id="HSpeed"> <FloatPosition>46,0</FloatPosition> <GaugeText id="HSpeedText" bright="true" bold="true"> <Size>28,22</Size> <FontFace>Arial</FontFace> <FontColor>black</FontColor> <BackgroundColor>azure</BackgroundColor> <FontHeight>16</FontHeight> <VerticalAlign>CENTER</VerticalAlign> <HorizontalAlign>RIGHT</HorizontalAlign> <GaugeString>%((L:HSpeed,Number))%!d! kt </GaugeString> </GaugeText> </Element> <Element id="IndicationHL"> <Visibility>(L:onDisplayCond1,bool)</Visibility> <FloatPosition>0,24</FloatPosition> <GaugeText id="IndicationHLText" bold="true" bright="true"> <Size>74,22</Size> <FontFace>Arial</FontFace> <FontColor>red</FontColor> <BackgroundColor>azure</BackgroundColor> <FontHeight>16</FontHeight> <VerticalAlign>CENTER</VerticalAlign> <HorizontalAlign>CENTER</HorizontalAlign> <GaugeString>HARD LANDING</GaugeString> </GaugeText> </Element> <Element id="IndicationSL"> <Visibility>(L:onDisplayCond2,bool)</Visibility> <FloatPosition>0,24</FloatPosition> <GaugeText id="IndicationSLText" bold="true" bright="true"> <Size>74,22</Size> <FontFace>Arial</FontFace> <FontColor>red</FontColor> <BackgroundColor>azure</BackgroundColor> <FontHeight>16</FontHeight> <VerticalAlign>CENTER</VerticalAlign> <HorizontalAlign>CENTER</HorizontalAlign> <GaugeString>SEVERE LANDING</GaugeString> </GaugeText> </Element> </Element> </SimGauge.Gauge> </SimBase.Document> Three things I noticed (I'm running P3D v4.5) : - if I don't use "always_visible=1" the gauge is not working as it seems it MUST be visibel to get updated. "visible=1" is not sufficient - I cannot really use code for the Visibility conditions for the various Elements. It seems it can only assess a Bool variable, but not a full XML script - So I had to run the Script in the Update section of the gauge.. - VerticalAlign does not seem to work Happy to discuss....

Hello everyone I use MVAMS to preset fuel and payload before loading the 737 in P3Dv4.5. Fuel is correctly set in the sim (in line with my presets in MVAMS), but I have no luck with the payload...... It's always 0 in the sim (except for the cabin and crew stations). I have looked in the configuration files in the MVAMS folder and it's correctly set in there (var s4 s5 s6 etc are not at 0). It's like a problem with the MV_732_ACM.dll or something ? I run MVAMS and P3D as admin. Already tried a reinstall of 737. As a side problem, I have noticed that in MVAMS, you need to activate the WX option to be able to activate the Gravel Kit option (to be more precise, you can activate the Gravel Kit option in MVAMS without the WX option, but such choice is not written to aircraft.cfg). So to activate the Gravel Kit without the WX, I have to tick WX, then tick Gravel, save as default and then untick WX and save as default again... Not a big deal but weird .... Have a great night ....

Just tried and with teh DC_panel.xml mod, I have a smooth transition between GPS flighplan and ILS approach. Nothing to touch. It even engages APR mode. Did you manage the same on your side ?

Bert What are your mods for this craft ? Is that just the ini file of the opening post ? New version ? Do you mean 1.2 ? I have moded DC_panel.xml so that the PFD and GTN are in sync (GPS with FMS, VLOC with NAV). I can pass it on to you if you want to test. BTW, I would be very interested in having your mod for the Fokker 50 😉 THe way it is set up by defaukl is peculiar (FMS is desactivated). Thanks

Thanks Bert for your continuous support. I think the misunderstanding comes from how the GTN communicates with the other instruments in the plane. When the PFD is in FMS mode (clicked on FMS on the DCP, pink needle on display on the lower part of the PFD) : - GTN in GPS mode : - needle on the PFD is pink - A/P NAV mode is LNAV - A/P APR mode is available (why ???) but A/P has a particular mode (no lateral mode (blank, not even ROLL), ALT vertical mode) - GTN in VLOC mode : - needle on the PFD is pink but does NOT turn when you change course - A/P NAV mode is LNAV (but A/P real behaviour depends on what you ave on the frequency - VOR or LOC - it turns to catch ILS lateral beam for LOC or turns in round at very steep bank angle for VOR) - A/P APR mode is NOT available When the PFD is in NAV mode (clicked on NAV on the DCP, green needle on display on the lower part of the PFD) : - GTN in GPS mode : - needle on the PFD is greenand points to and unindentified direction - A/P NAV mode is VOR1 but plane is turning errand - GTN in VLOC mode : - needle on the PFD is green and it does turn when you change course - A/P NAV mode is VOR1 - A/P APR mode is available When you change the GTN CDI mode, it does NOT change the PFD mode. You have to change it manually by chosing NAV or FMS on the DCP. Additionally, to have A/P APR mode working properly, you need to change PFD mode to NAV. So, for me, the way it works is : PFD FMS = GTN GPS PFD NAV = GTN VOR1 or Universal FMS VOR2 Do you know of any way to make sure that the GTN and the PFD are always "aligned", ie set as per the above ? Thanks

Bert I was doing somehow as suggested. But if I set the PFD to VOR1 and the AP to APR mode, then, to my best understanding, the source is not the GTN anymore, butt the VOR/LOC ? Am I right ? Then we are bac to my initial question : is the GTN able to drive vertical guidance ? Thanks

Thanks Bert. Let's consider ILS approach first. I'm flying at 4000, approaching LIPZ. MCD is on FMS. LNAV and ALT mode show on screen. GTN is controlling lateral navigation. AP is on. 109.95 is selected NAV1 on the GTN. CDI is set to GPS. ILS04z is the selected procedure in the flight plan. I cross LAREN. The plane should start final descent soon after, but indeed it never goes down. Always stays at 4000 feet. What should I do? Change mode on MCD (for NAV)? Select APR mode on the autopilot? Thanks

Hello everyone I'm a bit lost here, using the GTN 750 for the very first time. My question is simple though: can you use the GTN for vertical guidance with the autopilot? For example I fly waypoint to waypoint with an ILS final approach. It seems I can't activate approach mode on the A/P if I don't select NAV on the MCD. The ILS approach is correctly entered in the GTN though. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks

FDEdev, would you accept that I send you my mdl to tell me what you think ?
