Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

I loaded the program, at a favorite airport in LA and I then attempt to do my usual exterior look around. My Camera icon on the menu was 'white' but the window wasn't open. I closed the program opened it again and the same issue. Flying the 172. Anyone else experienced this? Any known fixes or is it a new 'bug'?

Post latest patch and I was flying across the US from KORD to KLAX. Crusing nicely at 38000ft in the modded A320neo and boom - everything cuts out. I thought this got fixed? Admittedly I was fast running using 4x sim rate at the time - but is that to blame?

I'm pleased to announce the initial release of the G3000 mod I've been working on for the past week. You can download the release here at Github. The mod adds some new features to the in-game G3000 to bring it (a little) closer to the real-life version. It also fixes some bugs with the vanilla version. At present, the mod only works with the TBM 930. The Citation Longitude is not supported yet, but will likely be at some point in the future... Disclaimer: I'm not a pilot and have never even been within visual distance of a TBM. I use pilot reference manuals of the G3000 to guide development of the mod. There are definitely things in the mod that don't work exact…

Forgive me if this has already been asked, but does the manual cache override steaming scenery? Specifically, if I cache an area at medium detail, will this block the sim from streaming in the high detail assets that I'm flying directly over? Most photogrammetry looks decent at medium detail from a distance, so I don't see the need to download an entire city at high detail if I'm just flying over parts of it, but obviously I want the areas I'm flying over to stream in the high detail photogrammetry. Also on this topic, are the levels of photogrammetry detail differential? In other words, if I have medium detail cached, will MFS just stream in the "missing bits" to up…

Is there anyone who can fly A320N in the planned route ? Mine is holding around the departure airport, as it was during patch 1.9.3 This plane was the only airliner that I could fly during 1.8.3 but no more. ( I am not a GA guy 😞 )

Took the latest version for a spin. This version is so smooth. I am averaging 25 to 30 FPS and FOR ME this sim is working very well. Looking forward to more updates in the coming weeks and months!

It seems like right before every patch we see a bunch of negative predictions, followed by more negativity after the patch drops. Is it really going to be this way for the next year? If this sim is really ticking you off, maybe it is time to take a step back. Look, I get the frustration. I am not blaming you for being upset. But at the end of the day it is just a game. I know, sim! But still, it is a work in progress and it is going to take many months to sort this out. I believe Asobo is up to the task, but this is going to be two steps forward, one step back for a while, and sometimes it is going to feel like 0 steps forward, 3 steps back. Or you can do like I did and d…

Hi guys, Anyone knows why is the textures are blurry at some radius from the plane ? The further textures looks better then the close ones. its like some radius around the plane make the textures blurry and when i continue it will clear it up behind me. The arrows point at the blurry areas which further looks good.

Hi,.i noticed when my PC Xbox Controller is repowered up it shuts down my engines. I cant find an key bind for this button so is anyone else having this issue? Thanks Michael Moe

I read something about there being, or that there was at one time, a glitch present that prevents loading a saved flight plan when resuming a saved flight. Is (or was) this the case, and if so, has it been fixed and/or a workaround developed?

Please don't hate me but I don't fly planes in the sim. I am a spotter and I love to watch planes from gate to gate. With P3D we had super traffic board that accomplished this, but in msfs we don't have that. When the sim first came out I was able to do this with a propeller aircraft. After the second update that function didn't work and after the last patch it's the same problem. I don't know if there is a setting I need to do so I can have this function work. maybe the patches have changed something in the options. So what settings do you use if you want the total ai control. The ai "controlled" plane will take off but then fly in a straight line for miles and miles. I …

Is it working? when I should activate it? Thanks

Took of from KPHL tonight to make a flight over to Long Island. It was perfectly clear departing KPHL. I've flown this sim over 187 hours now - and it's pretty easy to tell when there has been a marked change in something. So I was flying along getting closer to the east coast and although a slow transition, it was VERY noticeable and within like 3-5 minutes the skies were full of clouds and lightning all around! It wasn't like before the patch where we would fly and see the clouds coming up on the horizon, no this just kind of "filled in" all around me. Felt like I was going back to P3D / FSX... If I want transition of weather and fade ins/outs I wi…

Hi guys, Can someone be so kind and help me by duplicating this scenario ? It should take only few minutes and i am not sure if there some bug in the specific area or some bug in my system. When i am getting to this specific city (very small city all ai) i am getting endless stutters which only closing the game can solve but then again doing same thing in the same area its coming back. 100% reproducible Steps to reproduce: Start the flight at LKZC with an SR22 or another GA plane and head south south/west along the highway at low alt ,around 1200' ft ASL. in few minutes you will get close to the airport LKMB and just before its the city. Once starting to fly ov…

Do you remember that tall building bug introduced in the last patch? Of course you do. And now the same guy who found the solution to that one has figured out what is wrong with the tree LOD. As of now there is no fix for it, because this has to be done on the developer side, but if his suspicions and findings are correct, then he saved Asobo's developers some serious time finding the cause. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/lod-problems-trees-fix-revisited/296923

Another light aircraft. Seems like this is he perfect type of plane for MSFS right now. This looks nice though!

After the latest patch the lightning is still constant with live weather. Seriously Asobo ! Fix it !

Is there a way to stop the flicker at night in cockpit?

From Jummivana, the Community Manager from Microsoft: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/forum-announcements-bugs-issues-moderation-and-feedback-snapshot/300759 Looks like they just made a typo in the October 8 snapshot. For me, it’s not a big deal since the bigger bugs like the VFR map CTD bug is fixed. Overall from what I have seen and from the comments from others that have tried this patch up to now, this patch is a step in the right direction.

MSFS 2020 is giving me a CTD during the loading bar after the press any key screen. Watching task manager there is a quick spike of the GPU up to 100% right before it crashes. Ive tried to reopen it many times and only about one out of 20 tries it made it to the flight configuration screen. And even that one time it still CTD'd after hitting fly. I have the latest version of windows and MSFS. Does anyone else have this problem? I read something saying that a potential fix could be to rollback to a previous version of windows... Has anyone who has this problem tried this? Thanks.

I'm using the FlyByWire mod. I've somehow gone and entered a point in the middle of my flight plan. So make me double back. How can I delete it? Or do I need to start again?

Thought some might find this interesting...

In my search for the right parts for my new build I just left a friends house who happens to run 3 machines with the 3970x on his sound studio here in LA the one machine that he has FS2020 has the old asus 8GB rx580 and 128GB of ram locked at 60 frames we only saw a pick down at 49 fps with the 787 flying over the Hudson River. Im locked to go with the new ryzen 5000 line up but is also good to know there’s a few other options out there .

Well, I need to do some more checking but so far it appears that the graphic detail is a bit better. I put a couple more of the settings on Ultra as well with no change in FPS or additional stuttering. Didn't see the skyscrapers around my local airport anymore either.
