  1. Looking for input. I fly for a virtual airline and I am currently using the MSFS 2024 B737-800 MAX. I can't find a procedure to descend without breaking the flight level restrictions. I:E 250 knots below 10,000 feet. I am not using VNAV, I have turned off the autothrottle to try to reduce my speed. If I deploy the speed brakes the airspeed increases. I imagine that is due to the fact that the autopilot senses the nose up and applies power to prevent a stall. If I use one degree flaps I get the same results. Descent rate is 1800 fpm. Any ideas how to reduce speed without this happening. Bob G.

    Does FlowPro work with 2024 ? If yes, how to work with it ?

  5. Since the days of FSX I've been flying Boeing only. Now I'm on FS2024 and maybe it is time for me to learn Airbus so I'm considering the Fenix A320. On their blog, I can read (November 24, 2024): "This update brings initial compatibility with MSFS 2024... This is not simply the 2020 version ported, we’ve rebuilt the package with the 2024 SDK... However, a disclaimer before we continue: We consider MSFS 2024 support entirely experimental at this stage and DO NOT consider 2024 compatibility an “advertised” feature... We will not be accepting customer support tickets in the 2024 environment at this time" 1) Knowing that I'm doing normal operations (no fancy flight…

  7. I cannot install the SU3 Beta. After spending a lot of time trying to find out how to enrol in the beta, and eventually finding Asobo have changed this process, I joined SU3. When booting up the sim its stuck on "Your game needs an update" and refuses to download even a byte of data. Total update size also shows 0.0. It eventually shows an error message. Left it for ages. Restarted sim, restarted Windows. I then opened xBox Insider and left the beta. Despite not having downed anything for SU3 Beta the sim is attempting to download some update but the issue is exactly the same - downloads nothing. I have even tried a VPN from a different country in Europe and its …

  12. Slightly flummoxed. I'm a long time user of X-plane/MS Flight Sims (most of them) etc, etc.. and, like many of us, have gained a pretty good arsenal of tips and tricks to sort the odd things that MSFS2020 and 2024 throw at us from time to time. But I was at my brother-in-law's yesterday to help him install MSFS2024. But before we got to that, he raised a very recent issue he was having with MSFS2020. He is a keen user of MSFS2020, using it and his Hotas for around a year - but now he had an issue with the roll which, in both directions, slowly continued even once he had levelled the wings. I tried flying a number of aircraft on his sim and rig and had…

    Hi folks. I have been setting up controller bindings for a while now and I think I've got things really messed up (my fault). What I would like to know is how I can get everything back to original new install settings and start over. I have uninstalled the sim through Steam and reinstalled it but the controller settings don't reinitialize. I guess that's a good thing but in my case I actually want all controller settings reset. Is it just a matter of deleting all of the custom profiles I have created over time? If so, can someone please remind me how to do that? Thanks all.

    Was wondering if others get alot of what I call ghosting when using frame gen and more so at night when you are planning the plane in external view. I have the latest DLSS files and using K with MSFS2024. At night is more noticeable and it's like looking at 4 or 5 of my planes when planning around. Is there a solution to minimize this horrible effect?

  15. I've been waiting for what seems forever, for Justflight to release the Fokker 70/100 in MSFS. As an interim I'm thinking of buying the RJ series Professional. The reviews and videos seem to consider it an excellent aircraft in the Sim. I have the BAE146 version but am not overly happy with it. Do those of you who have the RJ consider it to be a worthwhile purchase for MSFS 2020/2024? Opinions would be appreciated. Thanks Steve

  16. I decided to try a departure and landing at the default EGHR Chichester Goodwood in my PMDG 737-600 (just to see how it handled it).... BIG MISTAKE Not because of the performance on that grass runway. It was the view that my unfortunate eyes had to witness when on final approach to runway 32. https://www.mediafire.com/view/5mq4mp5noz7sqnq/Goodwood1.jpg/file https://www.mediafire.com/view/q3zi5dq0wnatp58/Goodwood2.jpg/file https://www.mediafire.com/view/z8aoe8du8lj3zb6/Goodwood3.jpg/file I fear that I will never be able to unsee the zombie horde of rogue autogen houses that have infested the covered crops that are being grown in those fields. …

    So, since I built a new rig (AMD 9900X3D, blah, blah, blah), I decided to give MSFS 2024 another go now that SU2 has been released. Since I only fly airliners, I have no interest in migrating wildebeasts or photorealistic rocks. If MSFS 2024 is going to earn its stripes for me its going to have to find a way to support Fenix A321, at KLGA, with Samscene NYC, and do it at a flyable framerate - so let's start there. I installed MSFS 2024 from scratch on its own .M2 Samsung drive and loaded up the abovementioned addons just as a curiosity. Mind you, last time I loaded MSFS 24 pre SU2, it was a stuttering mess on my i7 14700k, and I've made my disappointment with Asobo …

  18. As discussed in the thread 2020 simmers fight back, the fight back is winning. Aerosoft have crumbled to community demands, and are backporting Dusseldorf to FS2020. Even Msobo have crumbled. SU16 is finally planned, And they have assigned their best Dev to it (Lionel). 2020 simmers must continue to demand FSR3 and FSR4. Plus other graphics engine optimizations. The fight can be won. Inibuilds will be the next to crumble and go back to supporting 2020 add-ons. Their plan to go with 2024 Only will backfire and cost them heaps in lost sales. Watch this space.

  21. I suppose I can guess what the answer will be (and will probably get flamed just for asking), but just in case, does anyone know how to change settings in MSFS so ai ships and planes appear at a distance, like in 2020? Currently ai ships and planes only pop into existence when you're a few hundred feet from them. I was wondering if someone knows of a setting somewhere maybe deep in the sim files that would toggle a longer distance view. I know there's more important bugs to fix, but it's just something from 2020 that I miss in 2024. Thanks - Bob

  22. Mods! Please don't kill this topic as it had zero attention in the specific forum!!! Comcast has become hugely expensive here in the US, so I'm thinking about dropping the cable completely and try 5G Home Internet from T-Mobile. MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 are my primary concerns here, so you have MSFS experience with this service , I would really appreciate your opinion. Thank you!
