Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

All I get on the FMC's are the departure and arrival airports, no wapoints in between. This happens with either Simbrief or MSFS flight planner, and yes when I use MSFS planner, I do select high altitude VORs and NDBs. Thought that this was a FBW issue but then I checked the other aircraft and it's the same issue on all of them. This happened after the last two updates. I'm at a loss. Gnacino

Intending to give this a go on the weekend and wondered if anyone else had been using and had any thoughts/comments. Is it just a case of 2 users loading in before MSFS then turning off multi player, and starting a flight in the same place, location and weather conditions? As a RW pilot, I am hoping to do a bit of instruction to help a novice fly the 152 correctly. Thanks to anyone who responds. https://flightsim.to/file/5383/yourcontrols-shared-cockpit-for-msfs

With all the discussion of the floating issue and flaps, I started thinking about how the sim handles flap deployment in single engine planes. I think in a high wing plane, the nose should lift. How pronounced should this be? I tried the 152 after modifying the flaps setting and the nose did lift. Does this happen with the 172? This is what happens in XP, but it seems extreme in XP...very pronounced. What should happen in a low wing plane? I tried the Bonanza and the Mooney. The attitude of the plane seemed to stay the same, but I did notice a loss of altitude. I feel there should be some change in the attitude when flaps are deployed, but I didn't seem to noti…

Hello! When turning photogrammetry ON in some areas MSFS applies the textures on very distorted heights - roofs are applied at the floor level, and trees are applied on elevated blocks, giving an aspect or rocks. It happens at some areas (Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale, for example), and not in others I tested (ex: Miami, Paris, London). I'm also having issues with bridges everywhere - they are usually under the water level (ex: Thames River, Seine River). I tested with different resolutions (1080p, 1440p, 4K). Turning photogrammetry OFF all becomes normal (without the textures). I tested with rolling cache on and off (same result) - having it off f…

I have just updated the trinidad to the 3.5 version and now every time i load the aircraft the pilot and co pilot are sitting on the wing ,if i go back to the 3.4 version it all ok,is there any fix for the pilots being outside. Regards jamesr

......so, I'm scratching my head and struggling whit what the best way to map those seven switches on the throttle are. I'm setting the throttle up for GA flying and I would like to have at least Fuel pump, De-ice, Pitot Heat and Cowl flaps mapped if possible. And mayby also the tailwheel lock mapped. But most of those are toggle options so I'm guessing that mapping those to switches isn't a good idea? Would very much appreciate any inputs. And if any kind soul out here would like to share a XML file with a well thought out mapping, I would be forever grateful 😁

I was wondering if there was a way pause the Sim such that the graphics card can rest and cool down while I take a break. I am running with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 and as most cards, it runs warm when the Sim is flying through the beautiful scenery that we have in MSFS 2020. This would be much nicer than a total shutdown. Thanks, SR

Hello, need some advise please. After every update since release of the Flight Simulator settings and control bindings was fine without any issues. After the latest world update also everything, settings and control bindings was untouched, was fine. Today while I run the sim came an update and all my settings and controls need to reconfigure from the begging. What’s happening, have no idea. Any advise please? thank you

I cant sign into xbox live right now making msfs unusable....anyone else?

Looks like Carenado has a Piper Arrow almost ready as well (source Facebook). In this case I think it's great because they are doing a recent variant, just looking at the cockpit. Just Flight is doing an earlier variant. Both models looks really nice.

I have many Little Nav Map flight plans and they can be easily exported to MSFS. Usually, I start a flight cold&dark at a parking position. After powering up the aircraft I want to load a pre-saved flight plan. But if I do so, MSFS puts me directly to the runway entrance. So I cannot taxi to the runway, which is too bad because taxiing experience at some airports can be pretty nice and very immersive. Is there a possibilty to prevent MSFS putting me directly to the runway when I load a pre-saved flight plan?

Could someone point me in the right direction please. I have a Navigraph subscription, but I cant quite figure out how to check that the MSFS nav data is current and using the correct and latest AIRAC cycle. Where is the MSFS Nav data located, and can it be updated manually. I really dont think Navigraph is updating it. I have simlink, but it only currently seems to find my Xplane folders. There is a discrepancy sometimes. I fly on Vatsim and am currently inbound LEMG. My Navigraph info and charts indicates ILS procedures for Runways 12/13/31, but within the sim (A32nx) I only have approaches for ILS 12. (Z or Y) The other approaches are missing from M…

Learning my ways around my new MSFS, I have problems switching views and pausing. Those keys seem to work intermittently and I am not keen to blame a brand new keyboard just yet. I have also seen that happen, much less frequently, with the INS key. I thought it might have to do with the windows focus so I make sure to click on the sim display before attempting an input. I am going to assign hardware buttons with FSUIPC but am curious to know if anybody else has that problem and, better still, an explanation. Thanks, Philippe

I know someone had made a mod back in the old days (FS2004?) to create wake effects for float planes. Now that we have some excellent amphibians to fly (like the excellent Bush League Legends Cub pictured below), I'm wondering if anyone has seen such a mod for the new sim?

Are there any cockpit views for the captain that are available out there as a mod that I can download and program to toggle views with my stick buttons? I am using default and would like to play around to see if there are any better positions. Same thing for cabin and outside views. Thanks!

I am using the current version of MSFS under W-10 on a gaming computer...lately, when I go to launch an add-on Bush Flight (or sometimes A MS Bush Flight) I get an error message directing me to the Content Manager for missing content ...when I go to the CM, there is no missing content... Anyone know what this problem is or how to fix this problem?... Any help appreciated... Thanks, John H.

Here's another example of how well MSFS runs on old hardware and limited RAM: In P3D even turning shadows/ambient light, or whatever that was called, to its lowest setting brought my system to its knee in an instant. In MSFS no performance hit whatsoever.

These days, I fly the 172 with glass panels. It seems that she cannot go faster than about 103 knots IAS at cruise. I generally fly at an altitude between 5500 to 8500 feet with the engine running at 2400 RPM and the mixture set at a little less than peak EGT. Flaps are up, of course. I am not familiar with the 172. In P3D I had the A2A 182 and the Cherokee not the 172. Is it that the modelling is wrong (underpowered) or that I do not do something right ?

How do you see and use the msfs in a year? I hope by then I have a good A320 (aerosoft) and fly on vatsim as now. I don't think much will change except the visual. I just hope that I will have to use fewer addons (flight planner, ...) than today. That many good addons are already standard.

Pilots, will try to upload a picture later but what just strived me again is that when entering a flighplan via FMS, especially selecting DEP rwy and later ARR rwy then the flightplan is not shown as green line on the pilot's left MCDU, only showing the path from at around DECEL point. However, the full plan is sometimes still shown on the right co-pilot's MCDU. So I wonder whether this is an MSFS or FBW limitation or whether I do something wrong? When I just flew KDAL-KEYW the green path was shown on right MCDU only while right now I am cruising EDDK-EGLC and the green path is shown on neither MCDU. What I usually do is starting a VFR flight (DIR to destination) fr…

Is there a current list of all the released and soon to be released payware airports for the US? Thanks

TLDR: If you have a low-end PC could you comment on how you find this title at reduced settings? FULL: I have been holding off on getting this game due to owning an old PC (in the process of saving to get a beast machine). However 6 months post-launch and I'm finding it harder and harder to resist not getting it right now. The nice YouTubes and screenshots I've seen dont help (although I know they were taken on powerful rigs running things on Ultra). Now I know that many people out there with weak machines have still got this title and are running it with reduced settings. I was wondering if I could ask a favour from users on here with similar specs to…
