Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

I'm sure this is probably something I'm doing wrong, so maybe someone can help me. I'm importing a flight plan from P2ATC that contains the desired parking spot. In setting the flight up in MSFS 2020 I import the flight plan that contains the parking spot but when running the sim the aircraft is set at the end of the runway. So I tried setting the aircraft in the parking spot in MSFS 2020 first then import the flight plan and it still shows up at the end of the runway. Can some please explain to me the proper way to set an IFR flight up while importing the flight plan please. Thanks Rodger

My MSFS Packages/Community has the mods and payware airports as expected. My Packages/Official folder is where it should be but all its content is gone. Earlier this morning I had deleted one asobo airport to accommodate a payware version, but it appears that in doing so I must have somehow caused the entire folder content to subsequently disappear. So, here is my question for the forum: Has anyone encountered this result and could they share their conclusions with me? By the way, I have the Steam deluxe/premium versions and have already tried the validation of local files. I'm reluctant to uninstall/reinstall the entire program, but would do so if there are no ready a…

First things first, I have to say that I love this sim. To be this good coming out of the gate is mind blowing. And I am pretty sure that this title will toll the death knoll for much of the competition. Although I don’t think that, in itself, is much cause for celebration. But the gulf between the vanilla versions is now huge. With that out of the way, I have to say that my biggest area of concern is the crazily sensitive control inputs. I have dulled mine down in the options, and put curves on pretty much everything. But I have a Warthog Hotas, and the stick has a 75mm extension, so should already be less twitchy. I have watched several YouTube videos, posted by…

I noticed on a flight today into KPWM (A320 mod) there were some elevation changes on the runway after a landed. I was slowing down on the centerline and I can only describe it as little cliffs and plateaus along the runway. For those P3d users, this would happen (to a much worse degree) when you used Orbx and installed a new airport and didn't run something within Orbx to fix the elevation changes. Has anyone else experienced this in MSFS? I am not sure if this is new with the new release or just something that hasn't been fixed but I figured i'd check. Also, it seemed to me (i could be wrong) that after the new release, the ground looks a lot blurrier when at high…

I am sitting at the holding point of the departing runway, waiting for an inbound a/c to land. Said a/c lands, rolls down the runway and stops in the middle of the runway. Controller keeps saying " 'Aircraft whatever' please exit runway when you can". But said a/c just stays motionless on runway, so of course I never get take-off clearance. Waited over 5 minutes, but the a/c never moved. Exited out of game in frustration! Anyone else experience this?

I am loving the new improvements to the A320 with this mod. However, I have done 2 flights so far and found that in a managed descent, the AP does not follow the restrictions as it should nor do I have a T/D hockey stick on the ND. I am on the COMIX2 into KSAN and should hit LNTRN at or below 9000. In theory, I should be able to punch in 9000 at any point to start my descent and the AP should be able to hit that calculated point. Twice during my arrival, the plane increased speed and started to climb at 3000 fpm even though 9000 was selected for managed. I had to revert to selected mode in order to descend. Is anyone else having this problem? I am not sure if it is…

So I guess the consensus is that patch 1.9.5 was a step in the right direction? It didn't really introduce any game breaking bugs and instead, it fixed some very annoying bugs, including the VFR map CTD bug, plus other bugs. I noticed that Asobo focused mainly on a few key fixes this time, rather than a wide number of fixes. This was probably a smart strategy for this particular patch, seeing that things were getting unstable and worse with the last several patches. Having said that, if we want MSFS to make progress, Asobo needs to find a way to bring back the large number of fixes and large number of feature additions in future patches. Otherwise, the progre…

How can be swapped the stbby / active ADF frequencies of the TBM930 ? I may swap the NAV frequencies clicking on the upper button for some seconds ptimib

A Microsoft tech (Xbox gamer?) solved my "insert disc" problem that I've had ever since installing Patch #2. I tried 8 or 10 different suggestions, to no avail. Here's what worked: 1. Check for windows updates (in my case, none needed) 2. Reset Xbox and MS Store apps (Settings > apps > reset Xbox and MS Store apps > restart computer 3. Fix Xbox Networking (Settings > gaming > Xbox networking > click "fix it" > restart computer After 3 days of no flight sim and little hope of finding a fix, this is what worked for me.

Hi anyone looking for help.. I deleted my M20 Mooney from MSFS2020 trying to fault find my CTD's I have now realised that the fault is known issue with MS and I am trying to reinstall the Mooney. It displays in the contents manager but it is not in my hanger. You can click on it in the Contents manager and select it but can do nothing with it. I have hit enter when its selected, validated it nothing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions for me. No biggie as at least my sim is still running.. Thanks

Yes!! I had takeout Chinese last night and it really sucked 😞 On the other hand, I felt much better after completing a mission in OnAir using MSFS from my base in Ushuaia. 😀 The scenery was incredible, the winds spot on (always from the west) and the turbulence over the mountains, combined with icing, made the trip immersive and memorable. Thank you Asobo/Microsoft for reinventing the franchise!

As beta's are typically deemed 'feature complete', unless floatplanes appear in the upcoming alpha 5 they are looking more and more likely to arrive post-release. Thoughts?

After the last 2 patches I'm seeing the airplanes sligtly trembling while turning, it's very annoying.

I am about to pull trigger and download the game but trying to decide if the upgrades are worth it. I want more planes and airports and disappointed that I can't seem to find them via freeware downloads. Here are my questions........ If I choose standard is there an option to upgrade or purchase more later? I am new to this sight and new to forms so do yall have suggestions before purchasing?? Have you found download sights? Thoughts???

MSFS live weather, while good when it works, often failed to inject live weather. So, in spite of the criticism posted here, I bought Rex Weather Force. The first flight with Rex Weather Force seemed okay. The next flight was way off. A series of flights after that gave me weather 'last updated' on 1 January 0001. Installed the patch and since then I almost always get no more than bland horizon-to-horizon overcast. My nearest (as in just over the hill) METAR station does not often report on sky conditions (but provides pressure, temperature, wind etc), and Rex somehow interprets the METAR as overcast. Strange then, that other METAR-based weather plugins don't? I…

Prior to the latest update for 2 months I had a perfectly working sim . After several unsuccessful attempts at the latest update, (Download stuck on packages Install loop) I reinstalled a backup copy of my 😄 drive (windows) from 14-9-2020, uninstalled MSFS, on reinstall it locked up at exactly the same file. Grrr. After much searching I found the following link: https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016844080-Download-stuck-on-packages-Install-loop Which actually worked. As my 22mb internet speed takes 10hrs+ to download 97Gb I went to bed expecting an overnight download and a working simulator this morning. No No No, of course it w…

Just wondering if anyone is aware of any addons for crew member announcements or the ability to add our own sound files? Its a pretty quiet flight other than hearing default ATC. I love the Plane Zibo engine sounds and crew member announcements etc.

During take off and after take off, my A320N isalways turning left and holding around the departure airport. (With original aircraft and also the moded one) Not following the flight plan (in game flight plan and outsourced flight plan same) I removed all the files in community folder (with and without these files same) I deleted the original A320N and redownload it (the resultis same) I did everything that I can. Any other advice would be very appreciated??? (I am not able to fly the A320N anyway, at the moment) Thanks for your supports .

Is there a way to enter a speed restriction on a Star in the MCDU? I am used to the FSlabs (and real way i think) to click on the right buttons on the MCDU at the waypoint and enter what you need. For example on the TRTLL 5 into KORD i need to cross TRTLL at 11000. Normally i'd go to the flight plan page in the MCDU, scroll to TRTLL, enter /110 and enter that next to the waypoint and it should calculate and change to meet that. In 2020, it took me to a different page when I clicked the button but couldn't find where to enter it. I have had to do this on many flights because majority of the stars i have flown have incorrect speed and alt.

I am not sure I am reading my situation correctly, but it seems the wind sock is 'backwards". Help me confirm. I just landed and parked beside the wind sock (plane is not moving) My surface wind is 030 at 6 with some gusts. (as per my weather window with a live METAR (Unreal weather)) So the wind direction is 30 degrees and the vector is pointing to 210. I read that as the wind is out of the 030 and blowing towards 210. My Garmin wind indicator is showing the wind bouncing around between 29 and 31 degrees and from 4 to 6.5 knots (expected with some gust). The Garmin Wind vector is roughly pointing to 210 which matches the the wind settings window. (coming fro…

I've been having issues with LatinVFR since the release of KMIA. Come to find out with all the troubleshooting and trying out various things with FS2020 totally unrelated to LatinVFR I forgot my 'Terrain Level of Detail' setting was set to 'MAX' (200). No other sceneries seemed to have an issue but I noticed the roll rate using glass cockpits wasn't the same as first release (got sick of the slowness but didn't equated the problem to a settings issue) which prompted me to investigate. When others posted they weren't having the issues I was having I had to think about what I changed. Finally settled on a hunch. After I lowered the 'Terrain Level of Detail' setting to '…

I want to play without using data for updating but there seems that you have to update before playing?

Never seen this until just now. I double checked my content manager to see if any of the Japan add-ons are out of date and they're all updated.
