What I would like to see in MSFS is a list of all add-on airports (purchased or free) that are installed. Sometimes it's fun to just go and select one of the more detailed airports (small or big) and go for a flight -- but trying to remember all that I have installed... well lets just say I'm not getting any younger ;)

Video Card for MSFS2020
FlightDreamer replied to johnyyz's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
Performance differences between brands of RTX 2070 Super will be minimal at best. That said, if you aren't in a super rush (pun slightly intended...), I suggest waiting for the release of the RTX 3060 & 3070 models from Nvidia in October. They should have tangible performance improvements across the board and pricing is expected to be decent. Though if they are anything like the RTX 3080 & 3090 --- initial stocks will sell out FAST! -
Plane doesnt follow autopilot
FlightDreamer replied to mjmiller's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
^^^ THIS! ^^^ I was flying the King Air 350 Saturday on a short hop from Santa Barbara over to Los Angeles when I got the sudden urge to go make myself a quick coffee (sadly no flight attendant service on this trip). My plan was to manual fly the route being that it's so short n'all... But figured I'd go ahead, set my relative heading to LA, kick on the Auto pilot, and select the altitude hold @ 13000ft. (yes, lucky #13... in hindsight probably not the wisest of decisions). Anyhow... So I got the AP configured and confirmed the altitude and track were holding as expected and headed off to the kitchen for that much needed coffee. Well no sooner am I out in the kitchen poring the hot water when I hear a faint autopilot disconnect sound off in the distance... Of course at that point I was in denial thinking "that surely couldn't have been MY autopilot?" --As if there was any other autopilot operating in the vicinity of my home--:rolleyes: So I wandered back to the captain's seat with delicious coffee in hand only to find that my beautiful King Air 350 was now resting in the middle of Ventura Harbor! :( Moral of this story... DO NOT TRUST THE AUTOPILOT !!! .... And for god's sake, stop being so cheap & just hire a darn flight attendant! ;););) -
MSFS stopped loading
FlightDreamer replied to jamesbecker's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
I Had the exact same problem yesterday! Took the opportunity to not only fully reinstall FS2020 but also performed a complete fresh install of Win10 2004. Since yesterday I have reinstalled FS2020 twice (deleting game files in-between).... why? because the download isn't including the files for "Premium Deluxe" which I paid for. Marketplace shows that Premium Deluxe is owned & installed but when I check the content manager, some of the add-ons aren't showing a version number, subsequently they don't appear to be installed because my hangar is only showing the 20 Standard Edition aircraft. Needless to say it's been quite frustrating... -
FYI, Nvidia just released a video on YouTube discussing the development/design of gfx cards and in a couple of spots they briefly showed glimpses (teases) of the new design and the new 12-pin power connector that will be on the reference cards. Everything we've heard & seen in recent leaks looks to be 100% spot on! Also, VideoCardz.com has confirmed the RTX3090 will have 24GB VRAM & the RTX3080 will come with 10GB VRAM (Both having GDDR6X).

I would hold off on purchasing a video card right now as the launch of Nvidia's next gen 30XX series is imminent with AMD's new cards launching sometime afterword. You might be able to find the odd deal on a new or used 20XX card - but if it's raw performance you're after - I suggest waiting to see what the new generation cards will be bringing to the table. Nvidia should be announcing their new lineup in about a week.

FS2020 scenery issues
FlightDreamer replied to delta88's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
Quite Good overall, though I think the CN Tower could use a little cleaning up - considering it's an iconic landmark. I even managed to find my condo building in North Scarborough - though for some strange reason both it and its sister building are modeled too short, yet the apartment next to me is modeled to the correct height and pretty much has the exact correct colour & textures. -
FS2020 scenery issues
FlightDreamer replied to delta88's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
I took an early morning (6am) hop from Toronto Island (CYTZ) over to Trenton Ont. (CYTR) in the King Air 350 today... It was an awesome short flight! Didn't hurt that I buttered the landing too :cool: Real world weather & that gorgeous sunrise... Just WoW! -
Ha, don't get me started on that dang elevator trim... It's like you so much as look at the darn thing on most aircraft, next thing your hurtling towards the ground uncontrollably or flinging yourself up into the heavens at near rocket speed! To say trim requires a light touch is an understatement. But, yes, this sim sure is pretty! :cool:

FS2020--problems...
FlightDreamer replied to gforce96's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
For question #1, have you tried downloading and installing the latest Geforce (452.06) drivers from Nvidia? They contain bug fixes and performance improvements for MSFS. -
Hat switch pan?
FlightDreamer replied to data65's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
I'm so used to the main hat switch on my stick being a proper pan that this new toggle view function is driving me nuts! I'm slowly getting used to it, but it's definitely not my preferred way... BTW, there are adjustments you can make for the cameras in-game, but I'm not sure I like the configurations any better. -
Crashing
FlightDreamer replied to Matthew121's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
My PC performed a sudden & complete reboot shortly after the install which wasn't expected and I assumed was a crash, but during the reboot Win10 never indicated having recovered from an improper shutdown so I assumed it was normal? I've loaded FlightSim at least 6 separate times today since the initial install and haven't experienced any further strange behavior. -
I woke up super early this morning to get the download going - Figured it would take a while & wanted to avoid some of the later morning download traffic. Turned out to be an awesome decision because I started the download around 2:45am and was in-game before 3:30am. Less than 45 minutes total! - Of course then I realized the the Premium Deluxe pack hadn't been installed **Grrrrrr**... which added maybe an extra 5-7 minutes once i figured out how to get that going. FWIW, I'm on a gigabit connection and typically get around 950Mbps down all things being equal.
