Is there any major difference in flying them to the a320 ?
The flight deck layouts are largely the same, but they each have their own handling nuances. The A319 is a pocket rocket which will get you in and out of smaller fields. The A321* has the range, but you can very easily spank its backside on the tarmac.

*sharklets and A321 additional fuel tanks to come for free in a later update.

Anyone had issues with VR? I have the reverb, used to be fine, haven't played it since the update and now it just crashes as soon as I switch to VR mode.
Checked I'm in DX11 and I tried without openXR, but it still just crashes?

Super annoying!
 
I played VR a couple of days ago, Varjo Aero, it worked fine but have had small issues before, I find just start normally and switch to VR in the main menu before starting, I have had issues starting VR in game though.
 
This is only an issue with the h145, everything else in fine.
I think the issue is with WMR and trying to reinstall and kinda messed my PC up.

So fresh windows install, start again and it should hopefully be ok, like it used to be!!

I did nothing to break it lol, just didn't play it for a while.
 
You don't have to do anything to break it I find Microsoft are good at that, had it just stop or need a re-install multiple times myself. When it works it's amazing.
 
Haha, yes, it's very frustrating. It's worked for months and months. Occasional hiccup, but that was mainly to the reverb overheating, so I 3D printed (well a friend did) a new face plate and attached a fan, curtsey of someone else's design, and it's been brilliant.
But today, it's really taken a dive lol
Could have been any other aircraft, there's loads it could have chosen from....but no, mess up on the one I love and fly all the time.
 
Looking for some help with the default Cessna Caravan autopilot in MSFS 2020.

I'm currently flying the default Cessna Caravan and having issues with autopilot during landings—it won't capture the glideslope.

Here’s what I’m doing:

After takeoff, I press the CDI button to select GPS, set my altitude, and enable autopilot. I engage NAV and ALT Hold. Then I use Vertical Speed mode to manage my climb.

As I approach the airport, I tune into the ILS frequency and begin my descent using ALT Hold and Vertical Speed mode.

Once closer to the ILS, I press the CDI again to switch from GPS to ILS, ensuring NAV mode is still active. The autopilot captures the localizer fine, and I can see the glideslope indicator on my instruments.

When I press the Approach (APP) mode to capture the glideslope, the plane completely ignores it, with ALT Hold still engaged. Even when I turn off ALT Hold and leave APP on, it doesn’t capture the glideslope. In some cases, APP mode turns itself off, and ALT Hold re-engages automatically.

What am I missing here?

It’s not a huge issue, but sometimes I want to let the plane handle the landing for me.

From memory I don’t think you need to switch the CDI from Nav mode to ILS. You just stay on NAV mode until you enable APP mode. It’s been a while since I flew it though, mostly use the black square analog caravan now rather than the default one.

Try the Cessna 172 which has the same autopilot system (I think) and see if you have the same issue in that.
