Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

This looks amazing.. anyone purchased this yet? Keep to see what it looks like on various systems. I've got a RTX2060Super, AMD 3600X 16GB ram... https://orbxdirect.com/product/cityscapesydney-msfs Great value for money I think.

Can anybody point me to a YouTube video or a link on how to use Navigraph with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. I have a Navigraph subscription and dowloaded something to use it with 2020 but I don't think I have it set up right. How would I know? Thanks

I know this may be a dumb question, but I recently bought the FSDT KORD during the sale. I notice in the Content Manager that the MSFS Asobo KORD still is listed. Do I need to delete this? If not, does the FSDT version override the Asobo version? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Pete

I tried to buy and install the scenery for KATL from Marketplace page @ MSFS 2020 section. The page directs you to their "BUY/DOWNLOAD" button. Followed their directions and they charged my card for $19.99 but nothing happened. The next day I received a message: "Thank you for purchasing. Your download is ready". Again, no link to download from or any other directions. I went back to the Marketplace page and under "download" got the message: "You already own this product". No other option. I tried to contact Microsoft Support, no one responds to my e-mails. I called directly, someone in India answered and charged my card for $1.00 promising they would resolve my issue. I …

There was small 1 GB navdata update yesterday. It went fine for me. However, immediattely after the 1 GB update ca. 26 GB also started downloading. I discovered that the propable reason was my manual edit of one of the files in the ...\Packages\Official\Steam path (I use Steam version). It was a tree height fix (10-asobo_species.xml). I stopped the update, restored the Packages from my backup copy (from the morning, before the navdata update), replaced the modified 10-asobo_species.xml with the original one. The sim downloaded the 1GB navdata update and not attempted to download the 26 GB update again. Conclusion: If you change anything in the official packages,…

The FlyByWire team is making a separate autopilot system for its A320, so that future patches of MSFS won't break the FlyByWire A320: https://www.facebook.com/FlyByWireSimulations/posts/137398251465094 This is good news. Also, it's good news for other 3rd party planes that are released for MSFS, if they use their own separate autopilot system. This means if those 3rd party planes have their own autopilot systems, the autopilot won't break for those planes either when Asobo releases a new patch for MSFS. One thing I hope is that other freeware plane developers (who have made their own freeware planes open source of course) maybe contact and collaborate w…

This looks interesting... https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/unreal-weather-live-metar-mod/287470

I have installed the g3000 mod into the community folder and it works great on my TBM 930 however it doesn't work at all on my Cessna Citation Longitude. Am I missing something? Not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Rodger

Here is preview of spring season... still wokring on it though.

I am giving MSFS a rest for a while now. I have no other sim to go back to, and I won't reinstall FSX, X-Plane, or P3D as it just isn't worth the time and trouble. So this isn't one of those 'I'm going back to...' posts that I detest so much myself. 😁 If you check my previous posts, I am one of the ones advocating perseverance and patience with the sim. However, please listen and see if you understand my frustration, which it seems a lot of us share over this sim, and that hopefully will improve over the coming years. (Yes, years, at the current development pace). My issue is not so much the slow development pace actually, but more to do with the constant issu…

It looks like Aerosoft is much closer to the release of the CRJ than I thought they would be, going into beta testing this week, if I read correctly. Also interesting is the statement that the SKD is not the greatest limiting factor at this time. Aerosoft Posts New Previews of Upcoming CRJ Series for MSFS – FSElite

Near Palm Springs, KPSP. They really are packing them in these days! Any mods to scale these properly?

Hello Gang! With the latest release, I cannot get the sim to recognize 111.50 as runway's 9R ILS freq at SBGR. Can anyone confirm if this is an issue or if it's isolated in my case? I opened a Zendesk case, but curious as to whether anyone else is experiencing the same. Cheers. Dennis

There seems to be a 1GB mini patch to release 1.11.6.0 .

While parked at an airport in Culebra (TJCP)

I recall in P3D/FSX that hitting SHIFT+F4 or something similar would activate reversers in planes like PMDG, FSLabs, etc. Is there a way to map MSFS to behave exactly like P3D? With my current setup I find it hard to activate them after touchdown. I fly with a Logitech 3D Extreme and prefer using the keyboard to activate them. That way I can have my right hand on the stick controlling the plane while landing and my left hand free to activate the reversers.

Hello, I am currently having issues with radio communication in the TBM (Don't know if this applies to other aricraft too). I start up the TBM as per Checklist and when i try to call ATC for the clearance i only hear a short static noise and then nothing. I don't hear the Pilots voice nor the ATC. And sometimes after completing the flight suddenly all radio calls are played together. Anyone else having this? Best

Yes I know they are introducing annoying bugs but when the (i assume) CEO of Asobo is helping the A320 mod team fix the AP bug perhaps we should be a little more grateful References Special thanks to Sebastian from Asobo for helping to diagnose the issue and come up with this temporary solution. https://github.com/flybywiresim/a32nx/pull/2140

After all the updates why haven't they fixed the constant download loop I brought this the day it was released and still stuck with trying to get everything downloaded so that I can start the game and fly something.

Obsidian takes a quick look

I am using WT G3000 v0.3.2 in the TBM 930. After entering a flight plan, the PFD shows the correct first waypoint and distance, and the 'top' of the MFD indicates the same correct distance to the first waypoint, but the magenta course line on the MFD is not correct and does not go to the first waypoint. The flight plan listing of waypoints on the small screen below the MFD is correct. After taking off, if I engage the AP, the AP seems to be following the incorrect course line on the MFD. Any suggestions? Thanks, Al EDIT: Problem seems to be caused by a conflict with the mod aircraft-tbm930-improvement.

Is anybody else getting random CTDs after the 12/3 update? I haven't had any for a while now (other than the Carenado aircraft related ones). I tried a long flight twice earlier today and got the CTD after about 90 minutes into the flight. Just did a short flight and it worked fine. However as I was loading up the flight planner, boom! Going to do a bit of monitoring to see what's going on resource wise, but just thought I would ask around.

I just acquired MSFS a week ago. Weather options were working as they should. I could choose between several weather themes and also real world weather. Now I have no weather options. It seems to be stuck on the last one I was using which I think was broken clouds. Anyone know what may have happened? How can I get my weather menu back?
