Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Community, I was curious to know if MS has fixed initial issues like the following: 1. CH Yoke assignment 2. Maximize Views 3. Aircraft flight dynamics (i.e. aircraft would veer off to the left or right on takeoff) Anyone been able to revert back to FSX keyboard assignments? Tim

Did somebody succeed recording a flight with FRAPS ? work fine with FSX with MFSF it records the sound but playback a black image

Hello, I have used this page to move my camera so that I do not see the aircraft ! Steam version, camera.cfg files are in "Your path:\Official\Steam\ folder. I first did a copy of my da62 camera config file (in asobo-aircraft-da62\SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_DA62 folder) I did some tests, changed the cockpit quickview 1 preset : [CAMERADEFINITION.10] Title ="QuickView_L2" ..... My settings are : InitialXyz = -0.07, 3.32, 0.5 (y=3.32 to move camera outside) InitialPbh = -15, 0, -0 (front view, x=-15°toward ground) Do not add my (comments) I use the autopilot to move from one waypoint to another one. I use 3 cameras: showcase number…

So I’m looking at trying out vatsim finally but I’m not sure what to do about weather. I seem to remember in FSX using REX for instance I could tell REX to use vatsim weather. Obviously msfs can’t do that on its own. So how do you handle stuff like QNH being a different value or things like winds that might affect which runway should be used? edit: I mention QNH for example since I loaded into KJFK the other night to observe and listen from the ramp and the ATIS QNH for vatsim was very different than in the sim.

I've asked the mods on the official forums to merge the many bug threads on this subject in the hope that a single topic, once upvoted, will get the attention of the devs. They've now kindly done this. In my opinion, this is a big issue and I suspect part of the reason it hasn't made it into the "top bugs" list is that there were so many different threads about it. If it's something that concerns you, please do take a minute to upvote it here: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/a320-rolls-left-on-retard-and-flare/190230 Thanks, Filbert

Every aircraft I fly and I turn on autopilot and ''Nav'' it always set to VOR rather then FMS or GPS only aircraft I can find a way to change this on is the Daher turbo prop. Does anyone know if there is a button to change the ''nav'' to follow the gps or fmc I have tried N or ctrl + n but no luck! Thank you!!

Anyone here using PFPX for flight planning? For some reason when I export my flight plan from PFPX and save it to MSFS as a PLN file and then try to load it under the world map menu, it doesn't show up. I manually have to type *.* in the search field for the file to show up, that's the only way I can seem to load it. Also I noticed that my flight plan isn't showing any altitude/speed restrictions in the MCDU for each waypoint. It's been awhile since I flown the A320, not sure if VNAV is calculating the altitude correctly or if there's some problem with PFPX flight plan export feature.

Just tried a quick flight in the 747. Reached cruising altitude and not only is it still "hunting" left to right trying to follow the flight vector it is also now porpoising up and down through a range of about 1000 feet. I left it about 10 minutes to see if it might settle down and stabilise, but negatory. Anyone else found this, before I put in a Zendesk ticket?

I see very few complaints about this, but it is so obvious that Asobo have changed the water since the second major patch (which included the Japan update), it is far less reflective and looks incredibly dull, at low wind speeds. Some see an actual improvement, but I do not enjoy anymore flying over water in the sim. For those having the same complaint, please post here, thanks!

sorry if this has been asked before ..is there any app for MSFS2020 like airspaces for Xplane 11?

Guys, I have this query about A320 Approach phase activates automatically when I'm still far away from the airport, this significantly reduce my airspeed. I believe this is manually activated by the Pilot on approach, please correct me if I'm wrong I would like to know how the system should really work.

Hi all, I have released my Bonanza G36 Turbo-Normalised engine mod with custom flight model, new lighting and six custom liveries. Many thanks to Romeo_Tango, Claudius_ and Flyfaster for testing the mod. IMPORTANT!!!! After loading one of the liveries and before you fly, please move your aileron, elevator and rudder controls fully left/right, forward/back. For some reason there could be a bug in FS2020 with custom flight models that do not properly settle stick calibrations until you have moved all the control surfaces fully. This particularly happens if you reload/resync any aircraft after editing or using developer mode. Without full cycling your aileron…

I was able setup my "hat" switch to view freely around the plane externally. How do you lock the view, so that when the plane changes pitch or angle the camera stays with the plane...? As it is now the camera drifts. If I could set it to the nose, that would be great. Any idea's ?

Can anyone tell me if there is a key to make a screen shot in a jpg format in MSFS like we could do in P3D just by pressing the V key? Thanks

Does anyone happen to have a PFPX aircraft profile for Flybywire's A320? Can't seem to find one so I'm trying to create a new one from scratch for the time being. But need some help filling some of this stuff out. What do I put for tail number?

Another update getting ready to check it out will report back.

I can't see any of the options under the General settings...after I installed the latest update ?? WTH....the game works fine, but I can't see any of the options like Graphic settings...

I've been trying IFR flight plans without a runway and approach planned, and waiting for an assignment from the approach ATC. I recall this was a problem in the past, where the plane does a U-Turn after loading the approach to go back to the last waypoint to begin the approach, rather than just intersecting it at the most convenient point. I thought this was fixed in a recent patch, but obviously not. Is there some way to load an approach that won't cause this behaviour?

Hi everyone Accidently I have pushed my ATC too high, the top bar that normally allows you to close it etc has disappeared under the top of the screen. On re starting, changing screen resolution and even on swapping between window and full screen it does not allow me to push it down to reveal it's top bar. Can anybody suggest a solution please. Qas

I believe this has been mentioned before, both here and in the Official FS Forums. Regarding the boarding stairs, when you request them, they connect to the a/c for approximately 10-12 seconds, before they move away again. Has anyone found a way to correct this? Many thanks.

This is the effect of shambolic alpha/beta and no proper amount of time spent on optimization with such a large group of customers, what a shame. No overclocks, i7700 + 32 gb + RTX2070s and I'm getting black screen (loss of video output) 5 minutes of being in the air. My god, what a s**t show this is becoming. Sigh.

CJ4 and other small jets seem to have an issue with wing stabilization, whereby, the aircraft seriously sways back and forth and is extremely difficult to control. How can this be tweaked/adjusted or fixed?

Buy the download version today and get it for £93.49 (Premium Deluxe) or £50.99 (standard) on the UK site. Suddenly got worth buying Premium Deluxe for me before my Game Pass trial finishes in a couple of weeks or so.👍 Question, if I buy it this way will my progress be saved from my Game Pass trial since I'll be entering a code via Microsoft Store to activate it? And will it simply turn my trial version to paid, or will I need to re-download the whole thing?

Since the dawn of the flight simulators there has always been a discussion about which sim has more realistic flight model and physics. Is there really a possibility to have an objective comparison? What it would take to produce some comprehensive benchmarks with data and charts? I imagine it can be done by flying a standard performance aircraft equipped with some kind of FDR which would record control surfaces deflections, and engine parameters as input and later injecting these parameters into sims to record their own output (GPS position, altitude and attitude.) Envelopes of both original and simulated aircraft would than be compared with some c…

Says it all..... Trust the balance will tip in the other direction soon.
