Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

It is fantastic to see the knowledgeable folks developing all these new mods - thank you all. One of the things that I have not seen discussed yet seems like it could be done is runways and their skid markings and rubber build up. I have xplane, which does this well (could have been a mod though?) and I don't have P3D so on that one I don't know. Maybe this is too difficult and I have no idea what I am asking, however maybe others can chime in here and let me know what the issues could be. I do not know how this would (could) be done as I don't know anything about doing this type of thing, but I am genuinely curious.

Pretty happy with todays update, download and install was issue free for me, VFR maps back and working, default A320 AP, Navigation all worked well in the two flights so far, no missing ILS, or wandering off on it's own, the aircraft also seemed to flair a lot better, so maybe some tweaks have been done to the flight dynamics. Now done a flight with the A320 NX from the guys at Flybyewire and again all good. Time to start adding more addons and checking.... but so far impressed with this update....

I'm not too educated about processors these days. I've read the minimum specs but don't have any idea when they say Intel i5-4460 or better. I'm getting a laptop with a Intel Core i5-1035G1, 8 GB SDRAM, 256GB SSD+16GB Optane, integrated graphics. I'm not getting it specifically for FS but just wondering if this will meet the minimums. THX

Does anyone know which file controls the tail number? I love the default German livery - but want to change the tail to a US...and I want to paint it, not just use the in-game overlay.

So far tested Rob Young’s G36 Turbo mod and the G36 mod by FrettFS, CaptMatto, Coppersens, Uwajimaya, dciskey, Matchrocket, JuiceBox7535, jonasbeaver, Exp232, nickc95... ...and neither is working, won’t load up correctly gets stuck on the Fly screen and puts the view in the water in the Miami area, was loading it into KOPF... Anyone getting different results? Other mods not working? Please share your experience...

I don't really understand why the forum posts here are so kind to Asobo and Microsoft. We have to be patient, everything will be fine, the other sims weren't good either, etc. No, but they weren't as full of errors as FSX (years ago). Many users fall in love with the image, the scenery. What you can see if you got off the plane while flying and you sometimes (but certainly not always) see beautiful scenery below. Even a drone is possible. MSF is a game, a beautiful game, but at the same time it is not a real flight simulator, but an experience simulator. And that cannot be otherwise. It is nonsense to expect that within a few months with an Xbox of say 700 dolla…

I have the G1000 app running on an iPad and it works great, however the autopilot features are completely separate from those of the actual aircrafts. Is there a way to get the autopilot disconnect button on the Yoke to disconnect the AP on the G1000?

Hi everyone, Is it a way for the sim to randomize this kind of addons? https://flightsim.to/file/291/swissport-ground-service-uniform https://flightsim.to/file/1611/jet2-ground-service-uniform https://flightsim.to/file/1536/menzies-aviation-ground-service-uniform https://flightsim.to/file/92/ground-service-textures https://flightsim.to/file/1557/menzies-aviation-ground-service-textures https://flightsim.to/file/878/pushback-tug-skins-aer-lingus-swissport

These past 3 times when "patching", I copied off my Community folder so the sim would be default, after reading that was important. The issue is, as I add to the folder courtesy of our incredible freeware and commercial developers, it will become huge, disorganized and ungainly. Already, I have hosed my FSDT KEYW and KORD (my fault) requiring a uninstall/reinstall because of this willy-nilly moving. Is there a way to organize the folder, i,e, \Scenery, \Aircraft, \Utilities etc.? I want to patch correctly, however, I would like to preserve all my files and mods, without the aforementioned issues. Hopefully Asobo has a long-term plan, and some of our brighter user…

Hi, all, anyone encounter this problem? The GPS line travels through the whole globe to the destination😂.

I found this, an interesting addon to whom would like to try. https://unrealweather.blogspot.com/2020/09/unreal-weather-live-metar-released.html Unreal Weather is a very nice, free METAR based addon for MSFS user that would like to use another source other than Live Weather (Meteoblue) within the simulator. Details and links are in the link. I am testing it and works fine. Name of the app does not suit but, it is injecting real weather data to the sim.An alternateto check Live Weather of the sim. You can get the local QNH, as well. Happy flying.

Quite possibly the greatest flight I have ever had in a flightsim last night. We all know the issues that Asobo are working on, but I just had to put in a word that when this sim works, it works so great. KGEG to KSEA last night. Wanted to take a short hop with the flybywire A320 to see what improvements have been made as I have been away from the sim for the last month. Live weather and traffic was used and since I live in the Pacific Northwest I could look out my window to compare. The weather was absolutely spot on at KGEG with rain, thunder, etc. Everything from startup at the gate and taxiing to the active was perfect. Reaching the hold point, there was a line o…

...for those with wide view monitors...there is the turn on WideVIewAspect in P3D. Well, quess what..it is in the Flightsimulator.cfg file on line 30...with it turned off..but IT IS THERE... I just set mine to WideViewAspect=1 and saved with Note Plus + That will correct your fish eye when you go to External Camera, as well as when you pan inside the cockpit..on a wide view monitor such as a 3440x1440. Fish Eye gone...

Does everyone getting this window on game start-up ? "Syncing data" or something like this...

Am I correct in understanding the CRJ allows you to set an airspeed but there is no way of turning that function on?

Hello to my fellow FS 2020 Flight simmer pilots. I've been seeing in the last couple of days that there's a roomer that in the October 15th upgrade, the blind who needs to see via their ears will finaly be able to enjoy FS 2020 as well? Here's hoping that the reoomers will be true for we who needs to see via our ears since our eyes don't work. Here's to hopefully, finally be able to enjoy fs 2020 as much as we once did with the older fsx program. Also, Here's hoping to see a DF8X aircraft to fly within FS 2020 as well. The DF8X is the successor to the older Dassault Falcon 7X try-jet aircraft. It has a 6,500 Notical Mile range with a top seal…

Just a heads up. Not sure about these. They are selling them. Might be legit. Anyone have some insight. The website says these are made with the SDK and not imported from FSX(Um didn't realise you can 3d model in the SDK). F14 looks similar to Dino`s model. https://flightsim-squadron.itch.io/2020-season-pass

I'd have got the deluxe version but the extra cost for the 787 wasn't worth it (that's all I wanted in it). But are there any plans for addon's 787,777, A350, A330 aircraft? Keen to do a few long haul but don't like the 744 or A380 I know there's intent to do them but anything out now or soon that we know of?

I have browsed and browsed and do not see this mentioned. My Bonanza G36, both with and without any performance mods, shows zero oil pressure, the indication blinks, and RPM stays pegged at zero. I removed the Robert Young mod and the issue persists. I also have the Working Title G1000 mod v3.1 installed. Anyone else face this issue? Any known fix? I have checked the 172 and 208 and the issue is only with the Bonanza.

The visualization for the icing looks great in MSFS2020; However I didn't notice a single difference in the way the plane flies with anti-icing protection off. This isn't realistic in my opinion. I had weather at the lowest possible temperature and other conditions that should overwhelm the control surfaces within a few minutes yet no difficulty flying with ice whatsoever. Have you observed similar results?

Hello guys! I thought it'd be nice to have a thread keeping track of the development of MSFS in general. It is also aimed to raise awareness for positive things that don't get enough attention. This could also be interesting for ASOBO to get a quick overview about community concerns. I'd like to start out with the turbulence / wind issues we had in the beginning. I sometimes got shaken through like a cocktail. After ASOBO released a patch where they mentioned to have redecued "horizontal turbulence" this seems to have significantly reduced overall. Maybe it was also a problem with weather in general. So, props to ASOBO! Now a flight actually fe…

I'd like someone to check something out please. Start a new flight from the main menu, select flight conditions from the main menu, and select LIVE. Now Fly. When on the runway, select the weather menu from top and note the time. It should be the current time. Now select any other weather preset, and watch the time. Does it change away from LIVE time for you? Mine always changes from the current accurate live time to 9:22PM (UTC). Always. Doesn't matter what airport I start from. Nothing is in my community folder. Would like to know if this is an issue on the release, or perhaps I am missing a setting somewhere or made a change. Thanks!

I was doing a trip from HQM to UIL in WA State. However, upon arriving at UIL I was a bit dismayed to find there was no airport there. This despite being able to enter it in flight planning and seeing the correct information. Nearby Forks wasn't there either. I decided to try and kick off the sim then by having it start at UIL. I expected to see my plane spawn on some weird terrain but it actually showed the airport correctly. I probably should have taken a flight to see if the airport would then have just disappeared but I didn't get the chance. Is there a mechanism to report these kinds of things or is this just "what it is" and may or may not get corrected based on gen…
