    I've also noticed the the 787 no longer shows the ETA at the next waypoint. As you can see in Budreiser's pics, the Zulu time of arrival in the top right is blank.

    You might want to try it rather than "believe" it's not what you want.

    Just put mouse on it and click. Same to close it.

    I have the TM Airbus stick and just tried a flight with Autopilot and didn't have a problem when selecting Button 3, or button 4. Button 3 for me is "Reset Cockpit View". The A/P stayed connected. Just to confirm, when you Filter for "Assigned" and click to "Search by Input" and push your button 3, does it look something like this? There is nothing else that comes up?

    It’s a problem with the T.16000 stick. I’ve had one for quite a while and after MSFS 2020 came out it got a lot more use and became a problem. You’ll probably notice in an external view that the rudder is moving by itself occasionally. It’s not something that you can really “fix” with sensitivity adjustments. There are YouTube tutorials about how to take the stick apart and clean it. I’ve don’t that twice and it works for several months, but the problem returns. I’ve recently switched to the Airbus version so we’ll see if that holds up better.

    Yes, there is a pull down menu option to travel to some preselected portion of the flight. For example Descent as Cas141 asked about.

    So the flaps WILL retract from the cockpit lever?

    I have the Thrustmaster T16000M and am using the throttle slider on it as the prop pitch control. In order to do that you need to set your slider/lever to operate the Propeller Axis, not the Increase/Decrease Pitch selections..

    I just did a couple of laps around the harbor and I don't show as many boats as you do, but they all look good. I think I have the same ship that you have in pic #2. I don't see that mesh that you've got. I don't use any mods.

    It looks like spikes DOWN in GPU usage at a regular interval, maybe your 3 seconds? There are also spikes UP in CPU usage, though they don’t go very high. Weird.

    Where did you get the 27.99 number for the pressure? That seems awfully low since “standard” pressure is 29.92.

    Are you sure that there are storms in that area? I think WXR only shows rain/snow, not just clouds? Try looking on SkyVector for an airport with rain showers and take off from there.

    I just tried a flight in the 747 from KRSW where I found some weather. I just pushed the WXR button and adjusted the range out to 20 miles. It does look like it will only show Terrain OR WXR, not both. If you select WXR and then TERR you won't get WXR.

    I’ve been using the Reverb for a few months and really enjoy it. I think it’s important to have everything possible programmed to a button rather than relying on the keyboard that you can’t see. I’m using the Thrustmaster 16000 stick and the TWCS throttle so I’ve got lots of buttons and they are all assigned. The last thing I have to do with the keyboard is the “R” +/- for the Rate, but I don’t use that often.

    Did you also look for updates in the Marketplace and the Content Manager?
  17. Cavulife
    I just did the update on Steam and smooth as well. It does require a Steam Update, then Content Manager Updates, then Marketplace Update. Old Faithful looks nicer in VR than this pic from the Mixed Reality Portal.

    I use the 2nd monitor for the ATC, VFR map and I drag the PFD over there because it’s more visible.

    I’m not sure that there is a definitive answer to Steam vs MS Store. I purchased through Steam and have had no problems with updates. With that said, the update process is pretty unsatisfactory. Sometimes an update then requires you to go to Content Manager for additional updates and sometimes it’s the Marketplace. I routinely check both locations for updates “just in case”. They may have their reasons for this, but it’s unlike any update process I’ve ever seen. I believe some of the MS Store people have reported having problems that required signing out and back in to their MS Store account. I’m interested to see what their feelings are.

    You might want to check the parameters you’re using to climb to your altitude. If you are setting a climb as 3,000 feet per minute for example, that might only work to a certain altitude and the plane can’t maintain that rate so the nose will drop until the airspeed increases and it begins climbing again. If that is the problem, then just use the FLC mode so you can set a speed for the climb and it will adjust the rate of climb for you. Hope that helps.

    Have you installed any aftermarket avionics that maybe don't work with the latest update? I've only flown the TBM since, but the avionics are working fine for me.

    Regarding the Thrustmaster, once it's plugged in it should be recognized by the Sim in the Controls section. It will probably have some default options set for the various buttons. You can select "Search by Input" on the left and push one of the buttons to see what the defaults are. You can then change those to something else.

    There was a thread on Flightsimulator that mentioned a bug in the entered wind speed. This was from early March. It said that there is an issue with winds being feet/sec rather than knots. I’m not sure that’s true, but if you enter winds of 15 assuming that’s knots and the sim takes it as feet/sec, that would equate to the 8 knots you actually reported.

    So Randy is just an alias. Your real name is Fred isn’t it. :D

    I haven't had this problem for quite a while. I thought it was fixed in one of the last updates. When I had this problem, my workaround was to load the approach BEFORE the last waypoint in my plan.
