Bagram Air Base

Posted by Monty Roberts on 09/20/2025

 

The government appears to be in negotiations with the Taliban to reacquire Bagram Air Base.  I am looking forward to Navigraph putting OAIX back in the airport database.

Department of War

Posted by Monty Roberts on 09/06/2025

In case you didn’t see it on the news today, the Department of Defense has been changed back to the Department of War.  All future references to the DoD on AMCv will now be DoW.

MSFS 2024 News

Posted by Monty Roberts on 08/28/2025

For those of you who have MSFS 2024, I noticed something new this morning.  They finally got the weather radar working, at least in my PMDG 777F.  I haven't tried anyother aircraft to confirm this.  The other thing I have noticed is that since the latest MSFS 2024 update, the clouds have really improved.

MSFS 2024 Brakes Not Working

Posted by Monty Roberts on 08/13/2025

From time to time, MSFS 2024 has a serious brake issue.  For me, it has been intermittent.  The brakes will slow you down to about 70 knots.  After that, the aircraft just keeps going.  Basically, you have to run into something to stop the aircraft.  I have tried remapping brakes to the keyboard.  I reinstalled MSFS 2024.  Nothing I tried worked.  It has been very frustrating. 

 

What I finally did out of frustration was turn off the engines.  Well, that works!  Right after touchdown, just turn the engines off. 

 

Hopefully, they will get this fixed sometime soon.  I’ll keep you posted.

smartCARS Aircraft Solution

Posted by Monty Roberts on 08/05/2025

 

Here is TFDI Design’s solution to the smartCARS aircraft selection issue: 

·       Select a scheduled flight. 

·       Delete the aircraft name in the aircraft box in the scheduled flight.  A list of our fleet aircraft will appear in the aircraft box. 

·       Choose a new aircraft from the list.
