Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

One thing I hope is really changing from previous simulations to FS2020 is the behaviour of AI Aircraft and vehicles. I hope for AI Aircraft to be affected by the weather conditions in the same manner as Aircraft that we fly. It would be dissappointing if Our Aircraft behave realistic and AI still will be on "rails". I also really hope that the sluggish ground manouvering ability has been significanly improved so that AI Aircraft and vehicles will make proper turns instead of Direct turns from point to point as we are used to. Nothing would impress me more if MS/Asobo can present a realistic representation here.

Vpilot now works for mfs2020. However, FLai model matching doesn't work for mfs2020. Does anybody know any other model matching software that'll work with mfs2020?

Was having an awful time with the auto pilot in small aircraft. I don't fly tube liners. Could not figure out why when engaged, it would pitch all over the place when the mouse was panning over the yoke. Turns out by default, the mouse is used to fly the plane. Deleted the mouse inputs and auto pilot is now stable.

Hi All. Anybody have a good source to find the specifications on the planes included in the sim? It sure would be nice to know that various V speeds instead of just guessing. Doesn't seem very sim like. I can't believe that there isn't any documentation included with this thing. What the heck Asobo? 😣

I guys quick question, I have a good solid internet connection stable wired 200mb can i turn of rolling cache and what is it?, does it just store the scenery? so with a good connection do i really need it ? many thanks.

I've posted this on the MSFS forum, but I haven't been able to get any solution. I’ve never really used the Garmin 1000 as a GPS device. I used the default GPS in P3d and FSX and I enjoyed using them. Not sophisticated? Right, but I enjoyed using the GPS for a “direct to” flight. Some times a flight of about 100 miles or so doesn't require a bunch of waypoints, etc. I have a question that I hope someone helps me with on the 1000. I selected various planes in MSFS with the Garmin 1000 and I can't seem to get the device to accept "Activate" when I'm given the choice of the runway I selected. I put the Garmin in GPS mode and tried a short flight in the Cirrus fro…

Looking over all the screenshots and videos from the months of betas, and then I saw Ms release of the minimum and recommended system requirements, and I thought, un-huh right. Then Ms added what they called "Ideal requirements"... They are still on DX 11 (older than dirt), DX 12 does many things more efficiently, using less resources. Who developed Direct X for games, oh that's right, it was Ms. Recommended: OS: Windows 10 version 18362.0 or higher Architecture: x64 DirectX: Version 11 Memory: 16 GB Video Memory: 4 GB Processor: Intel i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X Graphics: NVIDIA G…

I have a digital hard drive. It is setup as a C and D drive. Can I direct the MSFS2020 download to a selected drive or does it default to a predefined drive? Thanks Tom

LOL so I'm still working (work from home) and while doing stuff on the work laptop I decided to fire up flightsim and put in a quick hop down the road from me with the 172 and let the AI control the whole flight. I wanted to see if it would actually land vs crash or whatever. Well, it did land, eventually. He did two touch and go's first before actually getting it down. then he drove through a tour bus by the hangar while parking the airplane so I'm gonna need a new wing and horizontal stabilizer 😄

Getting these 5-10 minutes into a flight. Sim just simply closes. Anyone else? Is there a manual with this sim? I have a non supported stick and throttle (X-65). thanks.

Its recognized under the controllers, but when I try to assign it to elevator trim , I moved and nothing happens, so at the end cannot make it to work.

I am quite suprised how lackluster the flight lessons are in fs2020 compared to flight simulator 9. There were 20+ lessons in fs9 that the user could take. Sure, they weren't perfect either, but at least they tought you what VORs and ILS approaches were. Newbies are really missing out here And yes, I am in fact talking about fs9 from 2003 (Just an observation, not a complaint)

I have been away from the flight sim for over a year and a half due to illness and I just found out about FS2020. Can anyone post a picture of KROC and Rochester NY for me, that is where I am originally from and where I like to fly in and out of.

Does anyone think when you are taking off its like there is no sense of speed? Its as if you are standing still going down the runway. I may have something set wrong but it is really bad. Everything looks big and slow when taking off. Any ideas to help or is this just the way it looks for now. Thank you Anthony

...in MSFS 2020. From a user perspective, there are a few things I can think of that are important w/r/t weather in the sim: 1. Proper weather effects and depiction--winds, visibility, and cloud coverage and ceilings in particular 2. Ability to set weather based on the season, date, and time of flight 3. Ability to get a forecast of the departure and arrival weather and enroute conditions for planning #1 was clearly the focus area of the MSFS developer...I haven't experimented extensively with it yet, but it looks like they spent a lot of time and energy on the actual weather physics and graphics modelling. #2 is an issue if you want to fly at a…

This may not work for anyone else, but I thought I would at least share my experiences regardless. My specs: i7 7700k @ 4.2ghz GTX 1080 8gb Strix Z270E gaming motherboard G.Skill 16gb DDR4 ram 1080p Sim installed on a Samsung 850 EVO SSD CPU running at 100% load most of the time, GPU 30% at most. Terrible FPS - barely 20, stutters constantly, no matter if the sim was set to low, high or ultra. Turning off AI and/or live traffic had no effect on FPS whatsoever Basically unplayable. What I did: * Enabled CPU hyperthreading in bios (no idea why it was turned off in the first place) * Rolled …

FS2020 appears to have corrupted my FSX install. FS2020 is not working well on my system in fact other then once it has not worked at all. I have decided to go back to FSX in the short term since its full of wonderful scenery and has just about every plane I would want to fly in it available. When launching FSX it was no longer loading properly and wanted to crash a lot. Finely when I got it loaded half the switches failed to work and had to be remapped. This fortunately a lot easier process. Also my Active Sky lost its licensing and had to be reentered. When I finely did get it running it was not a minute later that it stopped working again. Only thing I am think…

Just a simple question. No comment required. Cheers bs

This is an awesome find, was not aware that you could search by coordinates

The third party devs will have to up their game so their products don't look like word not allowed in this simulator. Not naming names, but they know who they are.

Done a small number of sightseeing flights now whilst dialing in the controls, sensitivity, setting up keyboard and yoke assignments etc. It is mighty impressive that we have good quality satellite coverage for the whole planet in the stock sim but the photogrammetry cities are on another level. My first taste was New York, tonight Disney World Orlando! My missus is a huge Disney fan so I took her for a sightseeing trip and wow is all I can say. All the hotels and buildings are exactly like real life even the roller coasters are modeled and you count the lines in the car park (parking lot) on the disney theme parks it blew my mind ha, from 500 up its stunning. Grante…

I updated to the latest mfs ready nvidia drivers for my gtx 1080, but some ppl said that the new drivers are causing slowdowns and stuttering issues and that they've seen better results rolling back to the previous drivers.
