Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Good evening folks, hope all are well in these crazy times. For quite some time now i am experiencing microstuttering in MSFS especially when i pan around the view. For example lets say i am looking outside my left cockpit window and after some seconds i pan around towards the panel, the FPS drop from 60 to 59 for just a blink of an eye producing an ugly microstutter. Some might say this shouldnt be a big deal but for me its like a scratch in the car. After seeing it the first time you cant ignore it. Additional to that when taxiing around and turning, it's not smooth. I have pretty much tried everything to fix this but had no luck. VSYNC on/off, ingame o…

I was asked to do an update this afternoon, 26KB. Anyone else?

Flightsim.to, Nexusmods, etc. There isn't the time in the world to appreciate all the great work that community addon developers are putting out on an almost hourly basis. If you wanted to, you could stuff your community folder like a New Orleans Terducken, and you would still have scratched only the surface. What's even more amazing is the speed and agility of this community. For example, an update breaks a feature in the CJ4, boom, within 24 hours Working Title has a fix ready. Secondly, new (for flight simming) tools like Github and Discord Channels are used to accelerate development and feedback. Thirdly, we are not just seeing fixes but compl…

Today I stumbled on this excellent mod buried in the many messages over at the official forums https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/european-atc-phraseology-mod-released/316084 After applying the mod using the built-in ATC is a lot more enjoyable. Asobo have their work cut out with this! They just need to include it in one of the next patches to satisfy many of us Tagging @ryanbatcund to get his opinion

I'm so upset that my in-game weather never is accurate to metar data I view online. Not even 50% of the time does my destination's weather depict IFR conditions as it does in the real world. Will REX give me the soup I'm missing from ActiveSky? Thanks Matt

Isn't LGAT closed (since 2001??!!??). I decided to do some sight seeing and blithely chose the closest airport to the Acropolis. I took off and everything seemed fine, but when I went in for approach, it looked all wrong. The longest runway had X's in it and the shorter one, seemed to have Buildings built across it. Surely this isn't right. So I did some research, and not only is it closed, it's been closed since FS2002 days. So why is it still selectable? I no longer fly in into it, but it seems pretty weird to see a bunch of GA parking and aircraft there. But as I understand it, the airport has been closed to ALL traffic for almost two decades. Just…

Hi apologies if this has been asked already but is there a way to quick align the adiru's on the modded version of the A320 I always seem to have to wait for the full 7 mins. thanks

Hello, I'm having a strange sound issue. Whenever I fly MSFS I will get several loud pops from my speakers. Maybe a few times a minute. This started happening just lately, and I haven't heard it while running other games / applications. At first I thought it was a bad connection, but this doesn't happen with any other applications. I'm running sound like this: PC -> DAC -> Digital Amp -> Speakers Any thoughts?

Downloaded the A330 Mod for MSFS, but there are many problems with the panel, many switches which work in the A320Nx mod which don't work in the A330, the Primary Flight display & the Navigation displays also do not work.Would appreciate if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks Rob

Drop in your Community folder We've worked really hard for this so far. If you're looking for a speedy GA with great cockpit visibility, this is it https://github.com/r9r-dev/fs2020-vl3-rotax915/releases/tag/v0.10 modpic1 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr modpic2 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr

I understand that vertical navigation is not yet implemented, or at least not fully. But some questions - Once I have a flight plan loaded, along with a chosen flight level, when going to the Flight Plan page of the FMGC, on the left are the waypoints and on the right are the altitudes at each waypoint. Can these altitudes be edited in the Fly by Wire modded aircraft? As they appear on the Flight Plan page, they are not always accurate and can even show a different cruise level to that which has been selected during initial set up. Theoretically that would mess up fuel burn calculations amongst other things. Selecting the line select key adjacent the the altitude do…

My Logitech Attack3 joystick works fine with FSX but I just can't tune the sensitivity out of it with MSFS 2020. Sensity settings, null zone, dead zone settings seem to make little, if any difference, I've even tried editing the 152 aircraft file, which has no effect whatsoever (that bit I find baffling). Downloaded lofitech drivers, but I can't assign a profile to MSFS because it's telling me that the Exe file is protected or I do not have access to it. As things stand, I've been managing with a stick which works perfectly in every other setting that only needs a couple of millimetres of movement to send and the aircraft pitch wild. Roll and throttle are …

Just asking... When is start up the sim, simply select an aircraft and departure airport and hit "FLY" i sometimes start with running engine directly on the runway all good to go and sometimes i end up on the holding point with the AI calling the tower reporting ready for departure. Does anyone know why this happens? Why is it sometime this way and the other time it is that way? AI/online traffic is off at the moment. Any ideas? Best reagrds

I just watched an Q&A on youtube with the Flybywire developers regarding their plans for their freeware A380 and the A320 NX mods. And I must admit I'm impressed by their plans, and from what they plan on doing with the A320NX, I really can't see other companies like FSlabs justify an expensive payware model of it. And now the FSlabs fans will surely claim that a freeware version never will be as detailed and system packed as what fslabs can produce. I can only urge you to watch the video to get a glimpse of the plans FlyByWire have for their model, and I think you will be positively surprised. And also their A380 will be as detailed as what the SDK will allow, s…

So today I deselected developer mode and flew a nice flight along the Pacific coast from Oakland to Burbank. Route was over San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Big Sur, Morrow Bay, then over Santa Barbara, Oxnard/Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, then direct to Burbank (California). Nice VFR flight. Nice greased landing on 08. Logbook logged 2.4 hours, but did not log the landing. Instead the log entry shows arrival as "[KCAI] Vicinity". I did a web search for KCAI and KCAI vicinity and all I come up with is the Kansas City Art Institute in Kansas City, Missouri. Anyone else getting strange log entries like this? Only modification to the flight plan was to change th…

I am finding that since the latest MSFS update, the C182T autopilot is completely unstable. Is anyone able to fly in HDG or NAV mode for any length of time? 😉

I want to be able to fly alongside my kids online. Is there a trick to making this work? For me it seems a hit and miss, with 90% miss. I have tried several times times to fly online with them. We all have the same Premium Deluxe version on Steam. We can all see each other as being online and on the map view we can see each other as a green plane icons and can click and say join. Once in the sim, all parties cannot see each other or one can see the other but the other can't see him. On the very rare occasion we can all see each other it works well enough. It is however an incredibly painful exercise to be exiting and rejoining ad- nauseum to try and have everyone visible …

Hi Guys, How do I get a cold n dark cockpit as default? Dave

NOVEMBER 12TH, 2020 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE POSTED BY: MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR TEAM Screenshot by YusufWardana We could all benefit from a few tweaks to our sensibility curve. Sorry, sensitive subject? Happy Thursday, simmers!

We have gathered enough testers at this time and will be closing sign-ups today. Thank you for participating and we look forward to working with you. –MSFS TEAM- DEVELOPMENT ROA…

I see a setting for auto rudder on takeoff... But is there one for permanent a rudder ... If you don't have pedals... Or are just lazy ? Cheers.

My Top 5 so far (in no particular preference): PAKT (simmarket) CYLW ENVA KORD TNCM (simmarket)

I am, and not sure if it was a couple of minor obscure suggestions (like assigning PhysX to my 2070 Super via NCP) or something shot into the sim from MS at update time. Also I noticed the grid-like edges on clouds look much better. Road traffic is ultra smooth now and previously had some choppiness to it. The only unexplained issue for me can be found in this thread: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/589230-stutterspauses-caused-by-the-area/?do=findComment&comment=4404707 I've submitted to zendesk twice on this and I hope they can troubleshoot it, the 'it' being scenarios when you have lots of CPU/GPU/VRAM headroom yet FPS starts tanking. There are…

Hey I run into a small issue today, Did a Quick flight with the cessna longitude and at my surprise, when I hit the proc button and try to select an approach or transition nothing happen, i click but nothing, I cant select anything since the Last update 😕 Am I the only one ?

I downloaded and installed the recent pack of liveries for the A320 and Boeing 747s and noticed that all textures for the 747 have the right side of the fuselage reversed. I am sure the repainters are aware of this. Is there a link or place where I can look up for a corrected update? If this subject has been discussed before, my apologies. Thanks.
