Hey guys, now i have my sim pit up and running, what sound system is the preferred go to for simming now? Just using the TV at the moment and lacks some immersion to be honest... Cheers!

Hi., So it's been about 14 years away from msfs. Just got a new computer and msfs 2024. Need help on what my setting should be since msfs now has SO many more settings than before. Computer is a HP Oman with Intel Core Ultra 7 265f 2025, 16 gig ram, Nvida GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with 16 gig Vram. Need help with the Graphic setting like should I lock FPS, ect. Don't know what alot of the Graphic settings do in msfs. Thank you for any help.

Hi folks. I need help understanding how to bind aileron trim. I have a Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo. I bound a button to Aileron Trim Left and another to Aileron Trim Right. But they don't seem to be doing what I thought they would. I see in the sim that there are also aileron trim bindings that are an axis but I wasn't sure how an axis would be used since I didn't see one that was like -100 to +100 or something like that. Can someone please help me understand how the aileron trim is supposed to work and how to best bind controls for it? Thanks all.

Hello all, Been trying out FSHud not had an ATC add on before, been on VATSIM but some days can be a full 5 hour flight over Europe and the ATC centres close as Im getting near them, nice to have some traffic about somewhere. FSHud is basic but seems quite good, not quite 100%, and EHAM is too complicated for this I think, but anyway more to the point, a lot of traffic doesn't seem to have a proper callsign. Ryanair, Wizz, BA, Eurowings seems to appear, but a lot seems to be 465A or 5767 Heavy, and half of it I wonder where FSLTL is getting the feed from as I left Edinburgh there was a callsign 3747 Heavy request IFR Clearance to Ramstein...Ohhh what's that in a…

I took a very long brake flying the ATR and yesterday I took it out of the hangar. Now something very strange is happening on my PC....if I start ENG 2 (regardless if it's in the HOTEL mode or not) if I press Shift + C to exit the plane, the ENG will turn OFF! If ENG 1 is started and I exit the plane, everything works as expected. Also if I only start ENG 1 and exit the plane, nothing unusual (ENG keeps running as expected). So let's summarize: Scenario 1: Start ENG 2 in HOTEL mode -> Shift + C -> ENG turns off Scenario 2: Start ENG 2 in HOTEL mode -> Start ENG 1 -> Shift + C -> all OK (ENG2 stays in HOTEL mode - ENG 1 spinns) Scena…

Hi everyone, I’ve recently started experiencing a major performance issue in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, specifically during nighttime operations.

Hi All - As the title says, I’m curious as to whether anyone has compared these two. I have the Glideslope KPBI, and I see that the Verticalsim KPBi is on sale now at Simmarket. I’m curious as to whether anyone can recommend if it’s worth the upgrade to the Verticalsim KPBI. Cheers, Pete

Hi. At 11:30 AM CET, Vector will be presenting their 787 at FSWeekend, and answering questions about it. I think we will know a lot more about their 787 project when they take the stage at FSWeekend. The live stream link for FSWeekend is: https://www.youtube.com/live/nbQnmsnMSFU?si=y5Nn73p-9ZZKw94x But I think you'll have to wait until 11:30 AM CET until Vector takes the stage.

Wondering if the vnav autopilot works with the PMS GTN 750 in MSFS2024? Tried to do a search on it but couldn’t find any discussion about it.

Every time I d/l a new livery for a 2024 plane it never works...does not show up under liveries... what am I doing wrong?....

Just started msfs 2024 and using a Thrustmaster Hotas 1 and trying to figure out how to get my POV to scan like you can with right mouse button. Would like to look around without taking hands off controller. Thanks for any help

Alt-r displays the sim rate overlay but it does not display the current sim rate. So how do I display the current sim rate eg. .5x or 2x or 3x, and how do I quickly toggle back to normal rate (1x)?

So I tuned into the official iniBuilds TriStar showcase livestream on Microsoft's Twitch channel two days ago (with Chewwy hosting alongside the iniBuilds and msfs team), and it was awesome to see the new TriStar in action for MSFS 2024. Big news: They confirmed it's releasing this month (March 2026), so they said now's the time to brush up on your TriStar knowledge! But the real highlight for me was when Chewwy gave a surprise shoutout to my YouTube channel Joshua757 for the L-1011 prep/tutorial videos I've been putting out! What an absolute honor – huge thanks to Chewwy, the iniBuilds team, and the MSFS crew if you're reading this! 🙌 And thank you ev…

This must be the surprise we we wondering about?

This Save Situation function is an absolute amazing feature to have on the Aerosoft/Toliss A340-600 Previously I rarely use autolands at all - it would always feel like a "waste" of a flight if I let the plane land itself. With this function and the smooth user friendly way it reloads the situation, each landing can be done as many times as you like. So I guess the key question now becomes... who did it better LOL. Me: Autoland:

2026 is the year of force feedback and the overhead panel!!

iniBuilds A350 Airliner V1.2.4 Update 🚀 v1.2.4 for the iniBuilds A350 Airliner is now available. This update resolves several key flight logic and navigation issues, including incorrect descent mode behaviour, overlapping step climbs on the position report page, and inaccurate fuel burn predictions. Fixes have also been made to premature auto-rotation, incorrect DME/VOR display, and unrealistic ADS-B vertical speed readings, alongside refined roll sensitivity for improved handling. An EFB update also introduces an in-flight maintenance override, allowing users to repair items during flight. This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. __________…

Hello Gang. Has anyone had success cranking on the 404? I can get it to crank but the engines don't fire up. I've watched every video tutorial out there and followed the checklist to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello! I've been using the FBW A320 for several years now. Recently had to reinstall my FS2020 and FBW A320. Recently I've been experience erratic behavour from the autopilot. After takeoff and when approaching my set altitude (usually 5000 ft but happens at any altitude) I'm about to reach the set altittude, the display changes from CLM to ALT as it should but the plane pithces up to 40-50 degrees and stalls. I have to disconnect the AP to save the aircraft and recover. If I bring it down to 5,000 feet and then set the AP it'll hold but then it'll just do it again at the next altitude I want to reach. This doens't happen on every flight! Only 1 out of 4 …
