FLIGHT Multiflyer Forum

after decades of flight sims (every single one of them) i came to love ms flight after it came out. business concerns killed my sim flying (and everything else) for several years i'm starting to take some time for myself now and just rigged a new gaming laptop with flight. i'd love to find the alaska addon but it seems ms has abandoned flight as it did fsx. i did not have any dlc when i was flying flight the first time. any ideas if/how i can get the alaska dlc? i'd gladly pay for it. thanks

I bought all the content of microsoft flight 2012 and now I have a new computer (my old one crashed) and I read that I could download alaska from the toolkit addon manager and I don't see this option. Can anybody tell me now in 2021 how I can download the alaska and my bought aircrafts? Thank you

I have a question on flying a repainted plane in free flight mode. When flying into an area where a group of flyers are located what do they see when viewing my plane. Is it the repainted one, the original, or something else? Also, I see some planes that look like weird stealth planes resembling a paper airplane. Richard

I just got the PMDG 737 and though I haven't had the time to read the manual (and I've never used an FMS before today), I was easily able to get it to autoland on IFR approaches. My question is, would it be possible to automate the entire flight? Landing this plane is pretty automatic - the plane flares and touches down by itself and autobrakes and armed spoilers stop it without pilot intervention. So here are my specific questions: 1. Is there a way to automate takeoff? On stock FSX planes you can just set the autothrottle and engage the altitude hold and the plane will rotate and take off (without stalling if you're lucky). Is there a way to get the PMDG to…

Lately every other aerocache I snag adds to the "decache" list. There was no crash afterwards in all cases. I flew through the cache I got the points & credit for it but then the decache pups up & 1 more gets added to the total? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I am using steam & it seems a bit buggy on updates & map downloads. Thanks! Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2

Hey guys, Were hosting a flight back in Hawaii on December 23rd at 9pm EST. (about 2 weeks from this post) Check out http://msflights.net for more info.

I know I must be doing something stupid or not doing something simple but when I join a quick match, I can't see other players' planes. They show up on the map screen fine, moving around (but grey whereas my plane is white), but when I start flying there's noone there. So what am I doing or not doing wrong?

First, let's get back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar : the idea of the Iditarod's flight is not mine. Stephan aka Duesselwings had the idea of making this thanks to a post that was started on Steam. You can find the thread here. http://forums.steamp...d.php?t=2785849 Stephan decided to make this race as a flightplan, with the use of Plan-G and Gmap. I must say all this could not have been done with all the feedback, advices, tricks & tests we have been seeing around here, and I want to thanks the community of Flight's pilots whose help is really appreciated :Applause: The meeting time was friday, the 6th, departure at PANC, Anchorage. Plane : the Cub (and afte…

Coastguard action on Kodiak Island. We searched for a boat that illegally catched a whale. Some hints from local fishermen limited the search area to the fjords on the western side of Kodiak Island. In the end we found the boat and arrested the crew for illegal fishing.

Anyone with a Xbox has an account. This is advertised on Xbox.com which attracts awful children. I am speaking the opposite of "nice children" which there have been some of also and don't care because they have manners.Anyone who has ever played multiplayer games on Xbox probably already knows what I encountered yesterday because multiplayer games on Xbox are over populated with these kind of children. Children with the mouths and vocabulary of a sailor, screaming on mic, cutting people off on mic with no regard to anyone they don't know. My biggest fears came true yesterday. One MP session had kids dropping the f-bomb like crazy and generally having no real interest in …

Wondering how some of ya guys set the ingame voice to work so well.I can't get mine to work worth crap in GFWL but it works find on TS and Vent.Any tips would be great.

I downloaded this game almost two weeks ago and after a few days of enjoying it I purchased the Hawaii pack. I've been playing a lot and have enjoyed the fun multiplayer experiences I've had. Finally getting good enough now that I can perform maneuvers to get away from the people who just try to collide into me. I saw those pictures from the group flight and that looks like a lot of fun, I'd love to get in on that. I am a little bummed that there are so few aircraft and most of the ones they are adding are warfighters. I prefer more civilian type aircraft. Have we heard anything about what the Alaska DLC is going to include? Anywho, glad to see there is a community fo…

Flying from Hilo>Dillingham with a few stops in-between. Join Kaloyanic's session in MS Flight. Visit http://msflights.net/ for the flight plan and further flight details.

I have mine configured so that the simulation is paused when the PC focus is not on MS Flight. When I'm hosting a multiplayer session and I pause the game, does it pause the session for the other participants? I wouldn't want to spoil other people's enjoyment every time I click on another window on my PC.

hey guys I'm hosting a flight tonight at 9pm EDT (1am UTC) so join up if you can make it.

Hi all, I was wondering if it's possible to use headphones when flying FS multiplayer sessions to communicate. My brother and I fly in multiplayer on weekends. My computer is downstairs and he is upstairs. We now use radios to communicate with each other but we thought it would be much more realistic to use headphones with mics and being able to communicate through our headphones instead of using our radios. This way, we won't have to replace the batteries every 3 weeks or so. If this is possible, how would we go about setting up the computer to key up the mic, maybe pressing a key on the keyboard, so that one can communicate with the other? Is there software that will …

In multiplayer mode I cannot use the Player Pointer function. I am using the default keyboard mapping of "[" and "]", but nothing happens when I press either key. I may be misunderstanding a setting or perhaps even how to participate in multiplayer sessions. Here's what I do: Click on Multiplayer Click on Quick Match until I find a session with a few people in it Click on people to find a similar aircraft Check the box to target the player Press M to begin flying Press ] ...and nothing happens The simulation runs fine, with no problems with controls or cameras; only the player pointer commands don't work. I've set my Xbox settings to be wide open, and I…

So I have a question and concern about etiquette when in multiplayer on a server full of respectful players who are having fun and asking questions about Flight, and aviation in general.You can tell they are relatively young from the types of questions they ask, but they have a good attitude and are hungry for knowledge. I'm happy to help them figure out how to beat a challenge or get an achievement with encouragement and advice.Last night, this was the case, and I would learn that he was a third of my age! :Hypnotized:Now, I'm all for helping out people and fostering the new blood coming in to the community. This kid mentioned that he wants to become a pilot and was very…

Enjoy!

I had a blast flying with Kaloyanic's flight group. We flew from Lanai to Molokai to Oahu and then on to Kauai (well I actually had to tuck my kids in and I caught up with them at Bellows, Oahu). At the end of the flight we flew one more time to Barking Sands on Kauai and there a buch of Zeros performed a great airshow. I recorded the whole flight with FRAPS and took screenshots. I'll edit the video over the weekend, but in the meantime here's some snapshots. You can see the whole album here: https://picasaweb.go...FlightPictures# Lots of P-51's and Zeros. This was an odd moment, that I couldn't pass up. I was running around the whole airfield getting pho…

Amazing shot of an amazing trick. About 8 of us took turns flying through the arch at Bellows.

Just the other night (before the release of the update) we had a mock dogfight between the A6M's and the Mustangs. At one point there were probably 3-4 Zero's and 3-4 Mustangs. Obviously no guns but it was still fun. The host server had the atmosphere on Dusk. One thing I did notice. When in a high G turn with full rudder deflection the Zero stalls and falls really fast. So you see me doing that a few times. I did by the A6M Zero because it's my 7 year old son's favorite plane. It only cost me $4.99 because I already had 400 MS points to put towards it. My favorite plane so far is the Maule.

Some shots from Kalo's 3/23 flight.Caught 416 and Dragon making an illegal jellyfish sale with Wheeled. I'll be watching you 3 in the future more closely. You can't hide from me, even under darkness :)Most of us at Honolulu, Kalo ran out of fuel on he way to it but landed safely in a field. (He's the blue circle 3 miles out) :)

Hello Everyone,While Microsoft Flight is not the most realistic flight sim experience out there I find it to be quite adequate for practicing most flight maneuvers that are required to get a private pilots license. I am currently taking lessons and I try to use flight at least 2 hours a day on weekdays and 2-4 on weekends.I am curious if there are any other student pilots or MS Flight players who would be interested in reviewing and practicing maneuvers (and other essential piloting skills) together. We could take turns going over the maneuver, doing them together, and self-critiquing what we did wrong and discuss (as a group) how to improve.Anyone who is currently a stud…
