        X-Plane 12.0.9 Stutters Every 60 Seconds

        The problem only occurs with some XP users. As I read, someone this helps someone else that. It may be a little different for everyone. You don't want or don't have time to assemble the entire computer according to the correct template. Maybe try this solution: - https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-is-msmpeng-exe-why-is-it-of-high-cpu-disk-usage/ - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/msmpengexe-has-become-a-seriously-problem-for-my/e8c9d972-c2da-4af0-8062-55605ac62395 Either way - Good luck

        So I'm lost, this seems to be working right for me. To start, after I loaded your configuration I noticed that overlay mode was NOT set for unit 0. As soon as I set that then keys 4,12,20, and 28 will get replaced with the definitions on the shift state but all the other non-shifted keys still show. Here is a video: What am I missing?

        Yes true on both accounts, I don't remember the sim metar giving me any visibility warnings but it was a few days ago now and was a busy event so concentrated more on following ATC instructions. Do you know where the sim pulls its metar from? I wonder if I can check what was reported at the time. I'm not using any plugins that should be messing with the weather or scenery, the only one that comes anywhere close is XPRealistic, but I don't think this should have been messing with it. I probably should have re-flown the approach offline after i realised it was weather.  Problem with trying to figure if it was my setup is that have to get that same weather back.  But as i said i had just updated NVIDIA drivers so that could also have played a part and its not necessarily certain to occur again even if i get the same weather. So I will just have to wait until i experience it again. Thanks for the input.

        I use the keyboard "t" to toggle the data display on and off as needed when I fly. Cheers.

        Jar Design A340-500 not holding Altitude?

        By gemster18 · Posted

        I'm having a situation with my Airbus a340-500 from jar design.  I use simbrief to set up my flight I imported into the MCU I put all the information in regarding weights and balances and fuel I have set up many MCUs. I am very familiar with the Airbus and I know how to set up the computer, I also have the Tollis a321. And it works perfectly. The issue I'm having with the jar design is whatever altitude I set for example 12,000 ft, when the aircraft climbs up to 12,000, it blows past the altitude and continues to climb? It's not stopping. At the designated altitude. I tried disconnecting the auto throttle and reconnecting it I tried disconnecting the autopilot, I even tried manually using the VS and trying to descend, but the plane just continues to climb?  I have uninstalled whole aircraft and reinstalled it same issue? And this only happens in the jar design aircraft, not any of my other airbus?  Thank you in advance. Joey.

        Landing: Since Johan fixed this aircraft for VR flying (so that there is a functioning Garmin 530 in the cockpit), I haven't been able to bring myself to fly anything else!. I have been practising my landings and (for anyone still having difficulties in this regard!) can I confirm that the surest way is to do a 3-point landing, or almost 3-point. That's to say, as you get close to the runway (autopilot off of course), gradually start pulling back on the yoke, until, by the time you cross the threshold, you reach about 10 degs nose up. All the while, slowly reduce the throttles to control the descent rate, maintaining about -300ft/min. You quite quickly get the hang of using the two in tandem to arrive dead on the centre line - and stay there! No swerving right or left at all. I try to get the landing gear to touch down seconds before the tailwheel (a full 3-point landing, all wheels hitting the runway together, is apparently bad for the airframe, real-world!), at which point you pull back on the yoke, flaps up and reduce throttles to idle (or close). Then manual braking in small rapid inputs. This has lead to my every landing at last being perfectly controlled. Try it if you are having issues with the aircraft wanting to leave the runway as the tailwheel touches down... It's addictive.. no doubt I'll go back to my a321s etc soon, but not yet!

        Unless you got it from the sim itself that doesn't mean it's what was actually being used. And there are all sorts of 3rd party addons that mess around with weather & art controls that can cause very different results.
