Lot of our small airfields dont show up in the search. I havent actually tried to fly a acars flight yet. Hopefully someone who has can jump in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JB2113 0 Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Thanks for the reply, I have FSUIPC installed and it works for another add on that I was testing out. I'm guessing you just manually file the PIREP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just chiming in I installed smartCARS and FSUIPC7 last night and was able to get MSFS2020 to work just fine. I didn't have my FPS counter up but it didn't seem any slower to me. I filed my PIREPS in the app. I did two flights. One with BlueBox and one with smartCARS. BlueBox seemed a little stuttery - something kept weirdly pausing my sim and while I can't definitely state it was bluebox, it was the only variable I had to change to solve the issue.
