Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Standard, deluxe, premium deluxe, aviator... I'm an airliner (PMDG 77, Fenix A320 etc) user of MSFS 2020, looking to upgrade. Do I need the Aviator version or should I save some pennies...?

************************************* not the problem I thought it was ************************************ The updating I am seeing, as described below, is really the sim/MarketPlace downloading the entire Base contents to my: A:/MicroSoft Flight Simulator/Packages/Official2024 folder I have no idea why this is happening or how to stop it - I repeatedly CANCEL the updates but as soon as I restart the sim - MP starts downloading to the above named folder. At this point the folder is 64GB with 6,533 folders and 60,421 files I have no interest in downloading content because I am on a very reliable 1 GB Xfinity network with no data caps. How do I s…

Steam 1.5.2.0 - flew a 30-minute flight and all was perfect. The Community folder contains 50 items including a dozen complex addon airports and several complex addon airplanes. They all work perfectly. But, in MarketPlace there is no Community line or entry to allow me to change the library. The last two lines in usercfg.opt are: } InstalledPackagesPath “A:\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Packages” I remember something about this issue from a prior Beta but cannot find a reference to the issue. I think there is supposed to be a second information line/pointer but I can't remember. What do I need to do to get My Library back on track

For me, this appeared with the latest build. If I try to select KSFO on the World Map page, it will not engage meaning the KSFO appears in the screen, but it won’t go any farther than that. No top down view just a large globe with no airports selectable. It also keeps offering to change to Panels or World Map. Neither is working for me as of right now. In contrast if I type KBAB as my departure airport, all works as expected / as it should. Anyone Else, Please and Thank You, -B

I haven't used any ai add-ons in MSFS 2024 until now. Which ones are meanwhile fully compatible without the need of any port-over actions? Which works best with MSFS 2024. Do BeyondATC or FSHUD effectively control the traffic in MSFS2024 as they do in MSFS2020?

Captains, welcome to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, known as Sea-Tac! Located 13 miles south of downtown, Sea-Tac is the Pacific Northwest’s largest airport and a key hub for Alaska and Delta.

Features: Highly detailed rendition of Seattle Airport Modeled interiors Up-to-date, high-quality ground textures Accurate airport and runway elevation data Custom jetways Custom vehicle models Custom approach, runway, taxiway lights, ILS, and other objects Custom taxiway labels AI-c…

Been flying around the desert southwest in msfs 2024, places to include KELP, KABQ, KPHX and others. Immersion is completely destroyed by large, almost lime green trees in the desert where there is almost no vegetation in real life. No improvement with Bijans seasons. Any recommendations to improve the immersion killing trees? thanks

I have been trying to use the default ATC and AI with FS 2024 SU3, and I find it overall better than the last time I had tried to use both the ATC and the AI. OFC in terms of AI it can't compare with what FSLTL and other solutions offer, but for me the default models are more than enough... When I use the default airliners in FS 2024 or the Fenix, and want to submit a flightplan created with SimBrief to the native FS 2024 ATC the only way I can make it work is by importing the FPLN file previously stored somewhere in my disk using the FS 2024 EFB, and from there export it to the ATC... But what really is annoying is that although the EFB manages to import t…

Marketplace only but, may appeal to someone?

This is pretty impressive. It appears that MSFS 2024 simulates the shadow of Mt. Rainer, which actually occurs in real life: \ This photo comparison is courtesy of this thread at Reddit. This news article here describes this shadow phenomenon of Mt. Rainer:

Hello! I just joined to Beta 3 to try to see that how it's work because SU2 was some things broken as we all know. As I started sim and I'm "sitting" into Cockpit of the Aircraft (JustFlight Turbo Arrow IV) I move my mouse pointer up to screen that I can set real weather ON but nothing happened HandleBar is missing. I went to settings but I'm founded nothing. Has somebody any idea that whats is going on and about how I get the HandleBar back? Thank You!

Not sure what it means but my 2020 Zinertek products are now marked as permanently Incompatible probably due to the new 2024 image file format. Stay Tuned dd

If average FPS is below the monitors refresh rate, and assuming no frame generation is being used, is it generally better to have Vsync on or off? For example, a typical FPS in the 45 to 55 range with a 60Hz monitor. Thanks, Al

Probably get banned here, the admin doesn't like me but here i go anyways.. hoping to help at least one more simmer, so far a majority of folks have told me this really helps, so I am excited it does!

Flying a Cessna it resets to zero. I can look down and watch the wheel move by one increment then it resets again. If I hold the pitch trim button either up or down I can see the nose of the plan go in that direction, then it levels out. If I go outside view I can watch AOA move then it resets back to zero. I don't have this problem in MSFS 2020. It used to work just fine but something changed in an update. Am I missing something really obvious?

I am looking at this graphic card for MSFS 2024. Is anybody using this card? I would appreciate feedback. Any compatibility issues? Thanks! XFX - Speedster MERC310 AMD Radeon RX 7900XT 20GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Gaming Graphics Card - Black

Yesterday the Beta (Steam 1.5.1) was working very well with the exception of the really big FPS drop crossing the threshold on landing. I was able to fly from several major add on airports with few problems. Even the FPS drop at landing only lasted a few seconds. Today with an empty Community file at small GA airports I see 60 FPS in the cockpit not moving. As soon as the plane moves an inch, or I ShiftC out to walk around, the FPS drops to 20 then 15 and then single digit. If I stop moving for a few seconds the FPS jumps back to 60. I can see the GPU at 60% Busy and full commitment of VRAM sitting in the cockpit at 60 FPS BEFORE I do anything except Ready t…

I posted a video in the tips and tricks subforum. For increased visibility, I'm making a thread here in the main forum, as I'm not sure how many people check out the T&T subforum. In this video I go through all my settings and tweaks that I've refined over the last few years. Goal: to get the best performance and image quality possible. I hope it’s helpful!

For the past month or so I've flown out of KPSP many times. This morning I launched there and the GPU hit 99% and frame rate tanked to 26. This never happened before. This was a stream-enabled asset from 2020 which I had purchased awhile back. I noticed there was a new 'upgrade' for $5.99 to make it compatible with 2024. So I bought it, and no difference. Just to make sure this wasn't a global change I launched at another airport and all was normal in terms of the GPU and frame rate. I'm checking if you have KPSP from IB and if you're seeing the same. Normally in the planes I fly out of there typically the unlocked frame rate is around 70.

It must have engine optimizations including CPU multi-threading It must have optimized airport loading (earlier) during approach It must have complete DX12 support (not experimental!) It must have support for FSR3 and FSR4 It must finally fix issue where settings get reset It must have ray traced cockpits It must must finally have the weather radar Also must have timezone fixes

I see these flickering black lines from the air and on the ground, water (everywhere). Not sure if this is a simulator issue (PG) or the graphics card is approaching its demise. Does anyone get the same thing?

Lov them or not them -10 fps hit. dd

This screen pops up when I to go to fly the plane in 2024 and if I don't login the plane doesn't start. Just tell me this: does this happen in MSFS 2020 as well? If so, how does one never see this nonsense again? I've tried to get on their super-secret Discord channel, 'Authorized' my account twice thru that ritual on their website, and yet still says "You do not have permission to post messages on this channel".

Hi folks. I wonder, i have tried to change the shadow resolution in user.opt to 4096, but in the sim, it still is 2048 (?) I went back to user.opt, and it says 4096, what am i doing wrong? Why does not the new shadowsettings take place in the sim? Have i missed something? Any tips, suggestions? Best regards Per
