Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Anyone else seeing this? I've added red lines for emphasis. What I'm seeing is a gap in the autogen trees that "follows" my plane. It's not LOD, nor is it map-based, since trees further out are filled in, and as I fly away from the gap, the "blocks" further out will fill in right in front of my eyes (pop), while trees in the blocks that I'm flying towards disappear. It may not appear to be a "big deal" in a still shot, but in motion it's actually pretty jarring. I've tried a variety of settings, but nothing seems to change this. I'm assuming it's a bug, but I wonder if I'm the only one experiencing this? Maybe it's a graphics driver issue? I haven't updated my Nvidia…

Is it possible to check weather condition during flight if I fly with real weather? For Active Sky it's present Weather Request Menu (Ctrl+F11) with direction of wind, temperatures, clouds raport - where I'm now. Is it possible here?

For those of you who have the 10 disc version can you confirm that you can use it on more than one PC, so long as it is running only on one PC at a time? I am asking because I have purchased it from Aerosoft and waiting for it to be delivered. I intend to try it out on my current PC, and then purchase an upgraded system, and will be running the program on the new system from then on. I am assuming that you can load the program on as many PC's as you like, but can only run it on one at a time, i.e., the one with Disc #1 in the DVD drive?

I posted a set of pictures on the screen shot forum that shows medium settings on a low-end PC.

Hello All After a week or so of trouble free flying tonight I have found that when I click on the World Map window to start the flight selection I get a CTD. Having tried it a few times one thing I did notice as the sim is loading is that my Mouse Cursor suddenly becomes enlarged and "blurred" not noticed that before. The Event Viewer output is as below. Grateful for any help please?

Can someone confirm my observation? While Landing lights do illuminate clouds strobes don't. Im missing that disco effect when flying at night into IMC conditions.

Hey everyone, I got a chance to log a few hours in MSFS only recently and now I am wondering about the following: Is it possible to fly through yesterday's thunderstorm ? 😛 So is there any way to fly with historic weather conditions? If I change the slider for date/ time the lighting changes beautifully, but the weather seems locked to a rather accurate representation of live conditions. Is this a bug, am I missing something or is it simply not implemented? Then again FSX didn't come with historic weather either, I just got used to it after years of using ActiveSky. Many thanks for the help! 🙂

Cheers

In the past few days there has been a clean up of everyones video card around here in the Los Angeles area , offerup has all kinds of crazy prices .

I'm not sure why this is done but I've seen this in a few games and it imo destroys the immersion. When one zooms out the peripheral first begins to develop a fisheye lens effect. As one continues to zoom out this distortion continues to move to the center and objects take on a unnatural appearance. This is exactly what occurs in FS-2020. You can see it in some screenshots and videos. While in the sim, in doesn't take much zooming out before aircraft become overly exaggerated, wings/fuselages and distorted terrain. Even while in the cockpit, panning has a hint of the fisheye effect. I have zero'd everything associated with zoom in the options but can not get rid…

Saw this setting in FS with little description. Anyone know what affects this has on sound?

I seem to have a problem during the flare on the a320. I do have the NX mod installed, but afaik it doesnt affect this mode. What happens is that I have AT on but ap off, and as I get close to 20 ft, the left wing dips awkwardly and I have to bank almost full right to keep it from striking the ground. This makes it VERY hard to get smooth landings. Anyone else experiencing something similar on the a320? Btw, I also tried doing the landing without AT, but it happened just the same. Seems to happen regardless of wind as well. It's like the programmers coded the flare mechanic to the roll axis instead of the pitch 😄

I wanted to see first hand how dynamic the cloud building was over time.. So I created a time lapse video.. This is 90 minutes condensed down to 45 seconds. Enjoy!

MEOW!! https://www.nexusmods.com/microsoftflightsimulator/mods/109 This particular fix for airliners goes straight to the processing of the data for the individual instruments/screens, preventing the CPU cycles from being used, rather than skipping frames for rendering (which does have an impact, but would still result in wasted CPU processing of data of the skipped frames). Update September 9th 2020 - v0.1.03 - Update includes optimisations for instruments in the Airliner cockpits (lower latency on non PFD and MFD instrumentation), added instrumentation tuning for Aera, AS3X…

I've been experimenting all afternoon with cloud settings (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) and how they relate to FPS. Obviously the higher the settings, the greater hit you take on FPS. Duh. But what I discovered quite by accident is that your cloud settings greatly affect FPS even when you have completely clear skies. In my tests, I left from LAX in the Cessna 172. My pre-set weather condition was "Clear Skies" for each flight. With no clouds in the sky, I changed the cloud setting from Ultra to High to Medium to Low. Comparing Low to Ultra, there was an 8 FPS improvement in the performance of the sim even though no clouds were rendered! So if you're like me -- and you fl…

This sim is driving me crazy 🙂 its constantly freezing to pan around with mouse and screen freezes now mouse clicks are freezing screen - anyone else seeing this - its not once in a while its pretty consistent

About every 7th to 10th IFR flight with the A320 flying high altitude airways between common large airports points in the western US, I find myself taxiing as instructed to the tower's selection of take-off runway. Then about mid to near end of the taxi to hold short, suddenly the blue taxi arrows disappear and I can no longer contact tower to get take-off clearance. Clearance has disappeared. In fact I have to hold short and go through the entire IFR clearance process again. ATC tends to be a bit wonky for a bit after take off, but then smooths out without in-air incident as if the original clearance had not dropped. Then when I reach my destination, there is n…

I followed a guide to put the ms store apps on my d drive, but I cannot see any program folders being made there. I see the MSFS folder that I made in the launcher, and it has two folders inside "official" and "community". Where is the engine and the totality of the sim installed? What should I look for. I'm getting some performance issues and I'm suspecting that the sim is now divided among a couple of drives. Ps. If it wasnt clear I bought it through the MS Store.

For some reason tonight in the G36 I noticed my destination airport had an arrival loaded (I guess my flight plan loaded it for some reason). Which was never going to work as it sent me back 100+ miles. But, I couldn't load an approach without the arrival being loaded as well. And no matter what I tried, I could never get it out of the system. Anyone know why? Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about, you can see the Arrival loaded here. https://imgur.com/xrWzIbj

Hi guys! I plan to fly around the world with this but after finishing my first flight in it i have a few questions: 1) Since this doesnt have autopilot i have to constantly make aileron and rudder trim adjustments. I have to be on top of the airplane every second to avoid losing control of the airplane. Do you have any tips about this? How can i archive leveled flight without doing constant corrections? 2) How can i get the distance to the vor station? I can tune it but i cant see the distance anywhere 0.o thanks!

Hi, I flew over New York for a test flight. I’m seeing all the ground textures and objects really blurry. i74770k, GTX1080ti
