Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Hello, My autopilot does not work - no problem before last patch. Now, it sometimes work following 3 to 4 waypoints maximum, sometimes, plane takes off and flies straight as if no waypoints were programmed. Reloading plane in dev mode does not help. Same problem with an empty community folder. When in autopilot, calling the map (V key) crashes FS 2020. I have tried autopilot in different places (Europe, Asia) - same problem. What about you ? is there something to reset with autopilot function ? Active pause : I followed your posts and programmed P / CTrl P to pause the Sim. Good trick, thank you ! Active mode : you can play with you…

The sim, is now merely an RTM (to date) BAIT AND SWITCH. The (word NOT allowed) Dev's have SCALPED the LOD radius again, it seems by again in this 3rd patch--->HALF AS MUCH more than what was scalped in the 2nd patch! I am so disgusted with this sim.... Since RTM visuals...I have 25 percent of the content to the screen as seen if the plane is the epicenter. Look at this shot...with both LOD's at 200...trees and forestry doesn't even form 2-5 stinking miles from my aircraft...with the world beyond five miles absolutely BARREN...except for ground textures. At RTM, this area...had forestry and farm buildings practically to the horizon! This...is simply and …

From gleaning information from others, here is a list of the missing airports. Maybe Asobo know about these but it might be useful for Avsimmers….

Took a load of random pics doing the live event flight from Nagasaki to Tokyo last night in the King Air, what a view!

I noticed that the light beam is not visible when flying through clouds with this mod, which is a thing that I liked in the non mod lighting. Do you have the same or it's just me?

Good that Asobo was listening to us, and also was intelligent enough to realize that having the community help them test before they release a patch, can lead to more stable patches with less bugs (hopefully, less "show stopper" bugs). Here is what Asobo said about the pre-release testing with help from the community for patches: https://clips.twitch.tv/AmazingFairAlmondHotPokket It will take them a little time to get it setup, but once it is setup, hopefully they can keep a pre-release testing team made up of community members for every patch.

So, I bought MFS2020 for around a month ago. The download went smoothly, but for approximately 2 weeks ago I got a message saying that I was now using offline mode. There’s nothing wrong with my WiFi connection, Have over 150Mbps so that’s not the issue. Maybe the WiFi was was down for a couple of seconds, but it’s now working fine but I’m still in offline mode. Any ideas?

Each time i set settings and close the game the graphics settings reverting back to what they were before the update.

After 3d patch the autopilot wont engage ! despite the mater switch upper right overhead is ON ! word not allowed flight simulator !

Has anyone used Flight Simulator in the Offline mode? And if so can you describe how you achieved that and what the experience was like in terms of performance and visuals.

I like to use the AI Pilot when performing testing and such and it will no longer make it to any destination that’s on a FP. It just flies an arbitrary heading until it runs out of fuel. Also, I’ve noticed the during takeoff the pilot bounces a time or two before achieving stable flight. It worked fine with the previous versions. Is anyone seeing a similar issue? Testing using the TBM 930.

So there is an option to turn on the VFR map automatically at the start of every flight: Options > Assistance > User Experience > VFR Map UI Panel Open At Start > On So you will force the VFR map to load at the start of every flight this way. Then in theory, you should be able to open up the VFR map later in the flight and it shouldn't CTD. By forcing the VFR to automatically load at the start of every flight this way, does this workaround stop the opening of the VFR map from CTDing the game for everyone?

I currently have a 3 monitor wide setup. Is there a way to use a smaller 4th monitor in the center below the middle screen to use for instruments?

I only ask because all of a sudden, in the area I fly in the UK there seems to be a lot more tall buildings where there wern't before. Even some of the small villages have sprouted 3 or 4 story tower blocks in places... This might be me, but i don't think so and it doesn't look right now, where it did before. Graham

Stage 1: Shock and Denial I thought this was the sim to end all sims. The marketing made it look like everything was perfect. This isn't happening! Stage 2: Anger I'm done with this sim! What a POS! Going back to P3D! Stage 3: Bargaining Maybe I should have bought a better PC. I'll do anything to get a few more frames!!! Stage 4: Depression It's hopeless. MSFS was made for the consoles anyway. Can't do nothing about it. Stage 5: Acceptance MSFS will improve over time. It'll be great in a year, or so.

Anyone else getting this? Post update, in the 172, if I hit the V key to toggle up the Map, instant CTD No changes to settings. T45

Since the update, the FSUIPC and the flight simulator always crashes shortly before landing. Im alone with this problem? Error message in small window: FSUIPC Error #12: FSUIPC_ERR_SENDMSG. Error sending message to FSUIPC

So I tried everything to get rid of the flickering on buildings, terminals houses, etc… I’ve tried the newest drivers, old drivers, nv cpanel settings and nothing works. I fly in 1080 (2080) so I’ve scaled up, didn’t resolve the flickering. Is anyone else having the same issue? Clip: https://streamable.com/n09qxw

I freely admit that this game has me stunned from the start. After years of absence it brought me back to flight simulation for good. Having been an unconditional supporter right from release (all while acknowledging that it still had lots of bugs and missing features – but what a start!), I now begin feeling very uncomfortable about the way things evolve. The program was work in progress at release, but that was is NOT the problem and was widely accepted. The problem was rather that MS probably forced release too hastily, not allowing for stabilizing the initial version. It is depressing to find bugs (like the wind bug) within the first hour, while thousa…

We are excited to share this with you and look forward to hearing your feedback! We want to c…

Hello fellow Simmers! I enjoy the new FS alot and it runs fine, but I seem to keep having problems with the manual cache feature. 1) I had initially set the cache size to a maximum of 60GB and can't downsize it now, although only about 14GBs are currently used up by a preloaded area. 2) Even after the recent FS-update the manual cache mask is EXTREMELY laggy and unresponsive, once an area is downloaded. It takes me about 40 minutes just to be able to enter a new location into the mask. Restarting the sim or my PC doesn't help. FS is installed on a 500 GB SSD with a 2060 GTX, an i7 - 6700 CPU and 16 GBs of RAM. Thank you for your input and …

Trying to MSFS to follow the blue line I set as dep/arr instead of the white (GPS) line. Tried all flight scenarios nothing seems to take. ???? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I went looking for information on the new Starred Airports and found very little. In the text for World Update 1 - Japan is one sentence that names the six "exquisitely hand-crafted" airports along with six HD 3D photogrammetry prominent Japanese cities. see box. The new airports are spread out rather nicely. The straight line distance between two of the island airports, RJTH, Hachijojima and RORS, Shimojishima is more than a thousand miles and the Northern most airport of Kushiro, RJCK, is a thousand miles from the Nagasaki man-made island airport. RJFU. Interesting choices, but, well worth the price - they are all free. My favorite is the small out of…

Is it me or after the patch has the cockpit scroll wheel click/view panning functionally suddenly reversed on the y axis such that it is opposite than it was pre-patch? Anyway to change this? I might be going crazy

When they did the Japan update they adjusted the water level so that reefs are shown on the southern half of the island. They didn't do the northern side yet. So here's 2 pics of Okuma Okinawa, my favorite place to dive when I was in Okinawa in the Marines. Unfortunately in the game the reefs weren't adjusted there. Other than that it looks great. First pic is real pic of Okuma.
