  1. Hello. I have been haunted by CTDs in MSFS 2024 (DXGI Error Device Hung and others) for days. To make things worse, it also occurred in MSFS 2020. Normally, this possible solution used to work but not this time. I decided to uninstall my driver using DDU and installed the 12th November's 566.14. Surprisingly, not only does it remove CTDS in both sims but also does it eliminate stutters in MSFS 2020 (I have always had occasional stutters in 2020, not in MSFS 2024). The reason why I revert to 566.14 is because the driver was officially stated as optimized for MSFS 2024. I heard nothing but good things about 566.34 too. If you are struggling with CTDS and stut…

    I noticed it has been three years since the last thread on this topic was archived, so here is your friendly reminder that the xbox platform exists and has potential new users for you :) As many other do I sit my whole workday at a desk in front of a screen, so xbox is the only way I can flight sim. My main interests with simming is exploration and maximum immersion. I want my experience to be as close as it can be to the real thing and this includes using the radio. So thats it! Hello from Sweden and hope you have a great weekend. // Martin

    The old DXGI_ERROR_HUNG message presented itself today for the first time in a long time. I only see this very occasionally and only with MSFS when running DX12. This is the first time I've seen it since the SU15 update which is the reason I bring it up now. Has anyone else seen this since SU15 and was this something SU15 was supposed to fix?

    Hi all, This week my new rig finally arrived and I have spent the last few nights doing the nightmare move over to it. Ive run into a few issues and was wondering if anyone has experienced them. The new rig is a 9800x3d, 96GB RAM, 5090 GPU all in the most ridiculously large case (Phantecs NV9) I really should have read the size of it before I got it, it’s big enough to swallow my old pc which was also a full tower! Also weighs in at about the same as a medium sized elephant. I have also now moved over to windows 11 from windows 10 so that’s also a new adventure for me. And finally, I have the MSFS 24 premium deluxe windows store version. …

Second one definately a bug, whenever I start in any plane and regardless of aircraft state the parking brake wont disengage untill I hit esc twice its surprisingly annoying does anyone else get that?

    I guess they did not, in fact, cave on being 24-only. Whatever metrics they have for going 24 only must outweigh the lost sales of dual SKUs. https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/30604-announcing-providence-kpvd-premium-for-microsoft-flight-simulator-2024/

Beta I load the mkstudios KSEA airport (with zzz Static KSEA FSLTL) and the Flysimware C414 with DLSS at High, FG on, TLOD 305 OLOD 200 and all other settings on High except Buildings and Clouds which are Ultra. I have Max Frame Rate set at 30 in the sim. I have FSLTL running along with GAIST V7 and GAIST Trees and Scenery. OR - just a whole bunch of stuff. I start Free Flight with the Project Kart off road vehicle. I can drive all over the airport, into the Cargo bays, around the Passenger terminals with a jet at almost every gate and the sim stays at a steady, rock solid 60fps. Both GPU time and GPU time are at 16 or 17 ms. VRAM usage is 11.2 out of 12 …

    Hi, I have done what I think is almost eveything trying to get rolling cache back with 2024. I have created numrious new locations and pointed the sim to that folder, but no matter what I do it tells me I most put a numneric number, but it always reverts back to "0". I checked to make sure any rolling cache files have been removed and none could be found. Any thoughts?

  18. I'm mostly flying GA. On long flights in MSFS 2024 (say over 30 minutes) using autopilot the aircraft can suddenly roll violently to the left. If I don't immediately correct it the wings end up vertical and the aircraft goes out of control. This happens with both the default Cessna 172 and the Carenado 182RG, the two aircraft I use for these trips. It is way more frequent in NAV mode but also occurs in Heading mode. It appears this is a bug that goes back to MSFS2020. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/msfs-autopilot-causes-the-aircraft-to-go-into-a-left-roll/592652/5 There are some who have reported it only happens after making adjustments, but I h…

    I am putting this here so that it doesn't get swamped in the other posts... Lots of mis-info. So first off, you do not need to download any DLL's or swap any DLL's. 1.) Download new NVidia drivers. Install them 2.) Download new NVidia app. Install it. 3.) Restart PC. 4.) go in new Nvidia app, select MSFS2024, and make sure that in DLSS override - Model presets is set to 'frame generation - Latest'. 5.) Download NVidia inspector. You need new version 2.4.0.8 https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases/download/2.4.0.8/nvidiaProfileInspector.zip 6.) Run it and change the settings as per my pict…

    For the last few weeks I've had a problem getting FS2020 to shut down completely. As a result when I try to start it up again the next time I get the Sim is Already Running message that won't go away. If I shut the sim down using the Quit to Desktop option, I get the Are you sure you want to exit Flight Simulator screen. I click on Yes and the window appears to close, but it has just "retreated" to the task bar. At that point there is noting I have found that works expect to force the sim to close using the Task Manager. Appreciate any thoughts on what might be causing this, or possible fixes. Thanks, Al

I use MSFS2020. I've tried with other aircraft and there's no problem there. I'm just wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem. Best regards, Peter

    I am trying to configure interior lighting for the default C172 G1000. There are four rheostats in the cockpit of the plane for controlling lighting. In my MSFS2024: The "Pedestal Lighting" and "Radio Lighting Brightness" knobs seem to work properly to control those lights. I can adjust those from 0 to 100 and it stays where I set it. However, the knobs for "Panel Lighting Brightness" and "Glareshield Lighting" do not work properly. When I use my mouse to attempt to adjust the setting of those knobs, I see number values jumping around but something is keeping those two knobs from adjusting. They react like there is some other control that is fighting what I am t…
