I was hoping against hope that after this update the lights would work on my Honeycomb Bravo. Guess I'll keep hoping. 😞

I got it yesterday and took a quick VFR trip from Pease up to Bangor (ex-military bases have nice long runways). Flies quite well. Sounds great in the cockpit. Trim wheel with my Honeycomb Alpha is very sensitive. ATC told me they didn't recognize the squawk setting, so I couldn't even use flight following. Uses a lot of runway for takeoff, not so bad for landing. Taxis/turns easily in spite of its size. Later, I did some touch and goes on the Kennedy Space Center 16,000' runway, then landed successfully at Jacksonville. Just watched a Youtube vid on AN 225 autopilot use which will be a help. Great acquisition.

The AN-225 was the largest aircraft ever to take to the skies, period. For that reason alone I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this beauty. I really don't care about the politics or where the money's going. I've enjoyed the Spruce Goose, I expect the Mrija to be even better.

Thanks for the quick responses. 🙂

Is it possible to change planes in a flight without going back to the main menu? I know it was possible in older versions of FS, but I've not been able to figure out how to do it in MSFS 2020. In the older versions you could change in mid-flight (which could be tricky) but I'd prefer to change while on the ground on a leg of a flight without going all the way back to the main menu, finding the airport where I landed, and starting over. Thanks.

OK, I went in and change all my bindings to the ones shown by Kyuss. Very nice. Except......when I released the hat switch the view still went back to center. Sigh.... It has to be some single setting, I'm thinking. So I fiddled and diddled, reduced most of the scenery view from "ultra" down to "high," cleared the cache, couldn't find or think of anything else so I figured I'd take a little flight to soothe my nerves. I set up with the Citation and as I took a quick look out the side window.....the view stayed there!!! Hallelujah! Don't know quite what happened here, but I'll take it.

Sure did.

I did do some remapping as it all started when I tried to change from the quickview to the traditional view. I did up/down and left/right and haven't been able to get the view to stop self-centering.

Tried it, didn't work. Thanks anyway.

I recently swapped my CH Eclipse yoke to a new-to-me Honeycomb Alpha and I just can't get the hat switch to pan in the cockpit without it automatically centering itself when I release it. My CH didn't do this...until I reconnected it today and it was also centering automatically. I watched a youtube video that specifically addressed this situation to no avail. I know I've probably made some little change but darned if I can figure out what it is. Thanks in advance for saving my sanity. 🙂

....as long as the windows aren't square. 🙂

I didn't know to even do that, slow learning curve here I guess. Thanks for the tip.

Trainnut, your fix worked, and it took less than a minute. Much appreciated!!!

I can't even get far enough to access the app. I get the opening screen, and then it starts to go to the Sidney Austrailia screen which I guess I'm stuck with, and then it stops and tells me a mandatory update is available. I clock on the "OK" and it send me to the MS store. This is turning out to be a very finicky game, nothing like the older FS's I used.

....and that's as far as I get. Can't get into MSFS at all, the prompt just takes me to the Microsoft Store, where I can't find anything about a MSFS update. What's THIS all about? (I have Windows 11)
