Going fishing at Reelfoot lake in Tennessee 0M2

Hello. Currently flying the default TBM. No addons to my sim. After setting the altitude you need to select VS. After adjusting that the aircraft will fly to the selected altitude then it will select the ALT hold button one reached that altitude.

I currently do not have my pc running, but I think I remember seeing in a pull down menu the option to go to the arrival time line of a flight plan. Ive used it a time or two. Next time I get to fire up the computer again I'll post specific details.

Hello. Check out Digitalthemepark. They mainly use TS while flying and they even offer multiplayer sessions for other games as well. They are on Discord but TS is their main communication program. Hope this helps. https://digitalthemepark.com/

Hello. I had the same problem. I could not figure out the autopilot on my own after several tries. In this case, you must watch a few Youtube autopilot tutorials. They will teach you that the sim has a certain sequence to make the autopilot work. The GA aircraft pretty much have the same sequence but the jets like the 787 and the 320Neo have an added bonus of an extra step or two including throttle settings. Once you memorize that sequence then you should be good to go. The CJ4 is a pleasure to fly but it does not have speed control. Manual only. Just an FYI on that.

Yes you can! Google JoinFS Your son will need to use the FSX version of JoinFS and you need to use the MSFS version of JoinFS. You both can join a server (or create your own) and you both can fly together. Any user of the program can change any other players airplane to one they have in your own library. Hope this helps.

November 11 is the date

Hello. I have the same 16gb memory, 1Tb HDD, and the AMD Ryzen 3 processor only mine is the 2200G. I have no experience with ORBX scenery however with my new CPU upgrade, FSX was no challenge for the pc so I decided to try the Xplane demo. It basically told me that I would be much better off with a graphics card. I suspect there is a bottleneck in your system not letting it draw the ORBX scenery. I bought a RTX 580 8GB card and jumped to MSFS thinking I'll probably will have to upgrade the CPU. I hear the 8GB on a video card is the sweet spot. I can run MSFS with no problems except some slight studdering flying low near rivers and in populated areas. But I guess that is to be expected with a low end CPU. Otherwise the sim looks and flies amazing to my complete surprise. I'm guessing you may benefit from a video card in that range for ORBX scenery. That may eliminate the bottleneck.

Try to save the flight the same title every time. I do this with this sim and I've always done that with FSX. It will override what you saved before and update aircraft status and position and all the other data at that moment.

should be here : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator Community folder: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community

Hello 1)It is not online. You download the sim from Steam and run it without any disks. 2)Yes. No problems on my end at least. 3)Steam installs it in it's own steam folder. Nothing to it at all. 4)No 5)Yes. I have it on 2 computers. 6)Yes. It is the same as box FSX. I have the box version and a steam version on one pc. 7)The same as box fsx. Only thing diffrent is the path to steam fsx versus the box ediion. 8)Sign up on steam using the usual name and password then you can buy fsx and addons using that account. 9)Unsure. On my end, I'm happy knowing if my pc blows up into 100 pieces then all I have to do is download steam fsx again and I'm good to go. 10)You buy it through steam. Browse games, add to cart then buy and download it.

Yes, the navlog will give you suggested altitude to each waypoint if included in the flight plan. If you go direct with the destination being the only waypoint then you will only see the altitude of that airport. So if you had another waypoint along the way the altitude to that waypoint will most likely be 4500 depending how far out from the destination.

If ATIS is reporting calm winds, you might try lowering the surface winds height. My first try I got a sucessful wind report and the 19 runway was active as it should be. The airport elevation is close to 700 so I put the winds at 1000 feet surface level height. ( and yes the pic shows me at runway 01 but that was before I changed the winds. 01 would be the default runway in calm winds.)

The 152 does not have DME. I discovered this on a flight yesterday. I did read that you can download mods to get DME but personally I'm not going to do that at this time. I did successfully dial in 2 VOR's on my flight but in the end it was the NDB that got me to my destination. I guess I will use the V map and a flight plan to get me to a destination from now on.

Flightaware.com shows flightplans of real world flights. Just look up that flight and you will have to learn to click your way to the flightplan to view it. Hit decode to see every waypoint used in the flight.

The white dotted line is the path to the holding point. If you decide to do a missed approach, the gps will fly the white dotted line to the holding point and the airplane will circle until you decide to do something else. On the approach you have 2 choices. 1 is to land the airplane manually using the gps to keep you lined up to the runway. On my lazy flights I will use this method. Actually I use the gps to line me up a lot. 2. long before you get to the ILS, having the gps line you up, dial the ILS frequency in nav 1 and at some point in your approach, switch to NAV and activate the ILS for an ILS approach. Basically the PROC is used to line you up to the ILS.

One thing I've noticed about catching the glideslope is it has to be active when pressing the app button. If you press the app button before the glideslope is active, the airplane will not catch it. Ive done many ILS approaches in the sim and I frequently will line up using the localizer (by pressing the app button) long before the glideslope is active. Once the glide slope is active, I'll press the app button again to assure the plane will catch the glideslope. Hope this helps. Edit: I do use morse code to know the localizer is active. As soon as I hear it I know to switch from GPS to NAV then hit app to line up. Morse code can help a lot.

Yes there is a way to do that. On my pc the path is users\username\Appdate\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\Simobjects. Open each folder to view the state.txt.:pilot:

I have the same specs except for the hard drive. I have a non SSD 1 TB drive, other than that I have the same processor, video card and 16gb mem. I was afraid I would have problems but so far I have had no issues. I will add that I am using the default scenery. I am not downloading the extra online scenery. I let the sim install and I agreed to the default settings and it chose high settings. You do not indicate if you are using the online scenery or not. I'm wondering if that is a factor in the freezes.

Autopilot tutorial. I learned a lot.

I flew many flights on Sublogic ATP Airline Transport Pilot flight simulator. It had a list of major airports in the USA and 2 co-workers and I would fly then compare notes on our flights the next day at work. Looks like the sim is still for download.

FSX Secrets document. I know, it's not what you are looking for but still, I guess you could call this a FSX secret document. Simtour FSX

KMBT? Sounds a lot like KMBT. I love listening to students flying around on my scanner.

I've known this since FS4. Just cool to see where the LOC is on the instruments. Can be helpful at times.

I've noticed one glitch in the ILS on both FSX and FS9. I've flown the ILS approach from multiple distances many time and I've noticed one glitch. If I approach the ILS from 20-25 miles away (usually when the ILS ID (morse code) starts I'll engage the APPR, the aircraft will lock onto the LOC and fly to the runway. However, on FSX, FSX-SE, and FS9, if I engage the APP before the glideslope becomes active, the aircraft will not fly the glideslope. So now, on my long approaches, I will engage the APP to line up on the LOC but when the glideslope does become active I will dis-engage the APP, and will again engage the APP while below the GS and the aircraft will fly a perfect ILS. This seems to happen in every aircraft I have flown. Hope this helps. And setting the ILS course can be a huge help to visually tell you where you are in relation to the LOC. Once you get used to setting the course and seeing what it does on your instruments, you will never not set it again. Edit after more reading....set your altitude anywhere from 1800 (short approach) to 4000 (long approach) AGL depending on how far out you are and leave it there. Use the altitude the charts say if you go that route. I occasionally will use real world charts and they can be a real help. The AP will turn that off when it starts going down the GS. There is a site where you can get updated intersections to use todays charts. If you want more info on that feel free to let me know. I'll be happy to help.
