Dave Garwood has released his Hawker Hunters on flightsim.to today, free obviously.
They were great in FSX, no reason why they won't be great in MSFS

So to update on the world update. I can't install it as my msfs version is not 1.26.5.0.

I need to update my game before I can install the world update. Anyone any ideas how to do this (Xbox)? The content manager says relaunch game to update. This does nothing. There are no updates available when I go to 'Manage game and add-ons' in the Xbox menus.

(Apologies for saying update a lot biggrin )

In the last week I've finally got FTTP, and my old PC died on me, so I;ve now got a 3090/i9 system....

FS2020 is now awesome! biggrin

It doesn't seem to be showing all the available updates in the update section of content manager. I did all of the available ones in update but still found updates for 2 others, Italy & Malta update in the airports section and the USA update in the featured section.

Runs out of fuel very quickly.
Also noticed the cooling fans on the PC make as much noise as the jet when really travelling! biggrin

That Darkstar mission is seriously epic with the dramatic music and flying a supposed real black project.

I loved the part where you roll it 180 degrees before the dive, so the g stays positive. Flipping all the switches in the cockpit before activating the scramjets, I felt like Han Solo or Brian Shul biggrin

I love all the new content.

Purists seem upset a bit by it. hehe

If you don’t like seeing people flying down the runway upside down in unrealistic aircraft then you can just switch off multiplayer.

Loads of people moaning about the pelican hehe


I kinda get it. There are loads of issues with the game, but I can't imagine it's the same people who develop the aircraft as the core game. Plus its free, and you don't have to download it.

Saw the same with the maverick add-on. "Ugh this is turning the sim into a game for kids. I'm done" blah blah

Didn't like the Pelican.

I am dead impressed with the sheer volume of new content and developments.

I really can't think of anything else that keeps up this pace. Constantly breaking things is sub optimal of course.

The Pelican is just a shyte helicopter.

Had an email over the weekend to announce the release of the C-17 Globemaster, Chinook, Apache, plus others... up to 70% off.

Turns out it's only for Steam members -__-

am Picking up F2020 again, I tried using it on the setup/desk I use for work and its too much off a faff switicng monitor settings, moving the yoke etc so never bothered.

So have set it up in the garage, have added 2 additional monitors, got the main display spanned across 2 * 24 monitors though this may have to change as it ended up with the runway split by them, had it on 3 before so wasnt an issue, migth get a super widescreen for it. Also got an old 19 for VFP MAP (Good plugin) and a 22 for Air Manager which I have just purchased, of and the rudder pedals that I never had before that hamerped me, so am all set but now have got the app crashing to desktop which is annoying.

Will do the usual updating video drivers later but anyone else had this ?

That seemed to do it, cheers.

What video cards are folk using with FS2020, might have an upgrade, have 2060 Super but with an Ultrawide 34 inch monitor, a 22 for instruments and a 19 for the map it can struggle.

What do I need to buy card wise to get a good bump in frame rates.

Am working my way through the training stuff, am then going to get an actual lesson and see whether I like it, whether to go for a PPL or just stick to simming.

The FS academy training packages are great (on marketplace) he makes a lot of the in game ones already and have a U.K. slant to them. Think the sale has just finished unfortunately.
