I am new to MSFS and going through flight training. I am running SU12 on a new Xbox S with no special gimmicks or add-ons.

Just to confirm, which solo flight? Take Off & Landing>First Solo Flight or VFR Navigation>First Solo Navigation

The VFR Solo Flight. In the other exercises in the VFR module of training, the POIs and Objectives appear normally. It’s just in the VFR Solo Flight exercise that they don’t, and it prevents me from completing the flight properly.

Have you made sure you met all the objectives before going over the airport? Climb and maintain 75, get to and maintain 8500’, set cruise attitude, set 2300 RPM, and continue to maintain 8500’? Once all of those are green, the POI will then show up. Regards [VFR cross country]

@Habu2u2 Wow, you nailed it!!! I was more careful on my takeoff than in previous attempts (also took the advice in other posts to lean the mixture, turn off carb heater and climb slowly). I reached 8500 at 75 knots just about .5 NM from Pulliam, and the POI appeared! I flew the rest of the route …

Glad it worked out for you! Now on to the IFR training! :grinning_face::grinning_face: Regards
