Hi Jeff,

In Fsfs's previous versions (P3D), when we choose to enter in Circuit Mode, we was told (and it was written).

In MSFS2020, I only know that i'm in circuit mode when i'm taking off...

Is there a way to improve that ? Did i missed something ?

By the way : I finaly got it ! Not perfect, but not too bad !

Hi again Oliver:

>> In Fsfs's previous versions (P3D), when we choose to enter in Circuit Mode, we was told (and it was written). In MSFS2020, I only know that i'm in circuit mode when i'm taking off... Is there a way to improve that ? Did i missed something ?

You missed nothing. We are looking to see what can be done - we want to make text captions available.

We will likely change the logic so that the instructor gives a new confirmation that circuit mode has been set at the very instant that it is set.


>> By the way : I finaly got it ! Cool Not perfect, but not too bad ! Smile

Excellent result!

Hi Jeff,

I'm sorry about the (very) long delay. Do you have any news about these points ?
A few addons shows white captions, as MFSF does.

Take care !
Oliver.
