Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

I mainly fly VFR flight in US. SayIntentions.ai (previously announced as Smartsky.ai) seems to be promising. https://sayintentions.ai/ Their discord is here: https://discord.gg/sy5yRxCs On reddit, they said "We're getting ready to launch -- and we've changed the name from SmartSky to SayIntentions. (https://sayintentions.ai) in an effort to avoid a naming conflict with an aviation company." As usual, the FAQ is useful to read: https://sayintentions.ai/faq/ For example, "Is the ATC "traffic aware" ?" (yes, only for flightfollowing) or does SayIntentions.ai injects its own trafic (no)

Just wondering, given the current group of ATC programs out there, which one is best for VFR? Thanks.

The Depth of Field feature use to work. But it suddenly seems non-functional. Anyone got an idea on how to recover the feature? Thanks in advance! It has no effect when selecting via the camera menu: ... and ineffective as well when using an Xbox controller:

iFly Max update to the latest version released today. Just open iFly Manager.

Hello. I'm here because I purchased the Beyond ATC license a couple of hours ago, but I'm requesting a refund. I've been encountering terrible nonstop errors: plans disappearing when landing, plans taking off in taxi lines, plans that drop and then ascend again upon takeoff. In just two hours of use, my 30 euro investment is completely wasted because even the voices have no connection to reality. The ATC in Spanish instead says "time," which is literally read. The ATC ignores me and doesn't invite me to descend when I'm approaching the TOD, etc., etc. In short, it's one thing to find an error, and another to be unable to do anything at all. I've also chec…

The Biggest Ice festival city in the world - Harbin - One of the most Northern cities of China (population around 2.4 million) - will show seasonal festivities Dec to Feb -- I am not affiliated with Samscene3d, but this developer consistently brings great scenery the flight Sim platform I for one am pleased this airport and city will be given the makeover as MSFS 2020/ 2024 just shows generic layout and generic buildings. and was completely unrealistic - the terminals were not Reflective of the airport and its layout at all. Visited this place in July 2023 and loved it - The Architecture is a mix of Japanese , Russian , German and Chinese style (which refl…

Is it just me or is FT dead silent in regard of compatibility of their sceneries with MSFS2024 and potentially needed updates/fixes? Has anyone successfully installed any FT airport into MSFS2024? If yes, how you did that?

I verified these modeling issue more times in FS20, the Ifly B738max has the windscreeen/fuselage transition too steep, it seems that it has a sort of "eyebrows". The PMDG 737 doesn't have this modeling issue.

After almost a year with the experimental version, this is the sad state of the software on my machine (Experimental edition): Near mid-air collisions, endless waits just to cross runways. Customer support is also bad -one staff member actually tried to troll me on their Discord. I’ve reported countless bugs and submitted .log files when asked (or not) yet nothing has changed. I can only hope any of the devs actually bothered to read them, but I fear that since nothing has changed on my machine - nobody really took the time to read most or any of them (I reported , among other things, about these issues at that specific airport). One user even told me to just "acce…

Hi All I’m really impressed with the AI cabin crew from SI. The problem is it’s just good announcements that aren’t really linked to a passenger sim. Has anyone got this working well as a setup with either SLC/PacX etc? I’d appreciate any suggestions! Thanks Matt

MSFS 2020 Has anyone else noticed that there are images of two airliners on the main taxiways at this airport? I have sent the developer an email regarding this, but I have not had a response so far. https://www.mediafire.com/view/6sxerob01s3ioth/Alicante1.jpg/file https://www.mediafire.com/view/a5yu48bqzc14l0u/Alicante2.jpg/file

When MS2024 had just been released people complained about 2020 losing performance and becoming a stutter fest and suggested MS had moved hardware to support 2024 performance. At that time my 2020 was ok. Now, since over a week my 2020 has horrible performance and indeed is a stutter fest. No matter the day, no matter the aircraft. Only turning off online flying makes performance normal again. Anybody else in Europe seeing the same?

So taking a stab in the dark here. Mobiflight latest release now will now allow the display to work on the Wingwing 737 FMC. Before, the profiles available on fs.to would only be able to allow the buttons to work. Has anyone tried it with the iFly MAX yet to see if the display of the Wingwing 737 FMC is now working?

I am trying to manage my FS 2024 (Steam) folder and file locations but am really confused. Steam Settings shows the 9 GB 2024 Steam Library is on my drive A which is a 2TB NVMe drive in the priority slot on my motherboard. The Packages folder is 7.8 GB of the 9 GB. That is as I planned. My confusion comes when I find a 16 GB Folder titled MicroSoftFlightSimulator 2024 on my Drive C (Windows Boot Drive). The Packages folder is 12.3 GB of the 16 GB. In Packages I find Community at 5.6 GB, Official2020 at 4.3 GB and SteamedPackages at 2.4 GB. My problem is that Drive C is an older SSD with only 250 GB storage. I want the MicroSoftFlightSimulator 2024 fold…

Another Florida Airport Enhancement (and Fix this time!). This is a nice little airport that makes a great destination in the picturesque Space Coast area. https://flightsim.to/file/90300/kcoi-merritt-island-airport-enhancement Merritt Island Airport (KCOI) is a General Aviation airport located on Merritt Island, on the east coast of Florida, northwest of Patrick Space Force Base and close to Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center. Merrit Island needed terraforming and fixing, as the runway was unusable because of uneven terrain and glitches. (My plane did a full flip on the raised glitch when I tried to land there the first time! Like hitting a massiv…

Finally found some time to "fly" it and so far I've been positively impressed by various aspects of the simulation. Did a couple flights, LPMA-LPPT and LEMD-LPPT, under the really nasty weather conditions IRL over the Iberian Peninsula, and from the performance which is basically smooth as silk at 30 fps, no stutters, to the details of the complex OIS and other systems which are still making me read and study the "new" cockpit, and even an autoland under gusting winds and turbulence, I really think it's a very nice model of an A350. Graphically it's more than I actually needed it to be. I would gladly reduce the texture resolution a bit, to 1K, but I guess that'…

I was looking for an Atlas Air livery for the salty sim 747 but there was only ones for 2020. Does anybody know if some of these liveries will ever be updated?

Hi, don't know how to explain, but when i'm e.g. taxiing on ground in msfs 2024, the ground textures are changing nearby. TLOD and OLOD are both on 200. Which setting is responsible for this ? I'm also using autofps.

Chiriaco Summit Airport is mostly use for recreational VFR and alternatively for emergency services. Several west coast aero clubs, (among my Plus One Flyers club) use this field and the nearby restaurant as a destination site for annual weekend competitions. Don’t forget to enjoy the Spot Landing challenge in progress runway 6! And during the approach and departure, enjoy the desert views which are unbelievable with the high mountains that rise to 11,000’. Enjoy for free: https://flightsim.to/file/54957/chiriaco-summit-airport-l77 Don’t be surprised by the people, cones and flags half in the middle of the runway. There’s an Spot Landing Challenge in progre…

This has been bugging the hell out of me since msfs2024 launched. If it bugs you as much as it bugs me, here's the fix: https://flightsim.to/file/90236/weston-super-mare-skyscraper-fix Big thanks to megadytpes for doing this one.

Didn't want to install until it's "perfect and ready" for 2024 but getting impatient. Is it worth it or are there some peculiarities that ruin the immersion? I was amazed at the improvement to the FM in the C414 by porting over to 2024... It was something tangible that could be felt on landing... The plane felt less rail-like and more like it was "flying with intertia". It was a very positive experience. Guessing the Commanche FM won't benefit much (if at all) since it's already pretty good in FS2020 but wondering about that aspect as well...

I'm LOVING this purchase, but while at cruise I'm suddenly getting a "You've crashed, back on track" event - this at like 11,000 feet, straight and level flight, anti-ice on, no horns/warnings beforehand. I suspect maybe an overspeed situation of some kind, but the last flight I tried to really cool it in terms of thrust at cruise and still "crashed". Any help is appreciated....thanks!

After their excellent LPMA, now there's a new LKGO by Atelic. https://inibuilds.com/products/atelic-kos-lgko-msfs https://secure.simmarket.com/atelic-kos-airport-lgko-msfs2420-(de_19914).phtml https://contrail.shop/collections/msfs-international-airports/products/atelic-lgko-kos-airport-msfs https://www.aerosoft.com/us/shop/flight/microsoft-flight-simulator/msfs-2020/msfs-sceneries/msfs-europe/4522/atelic-lgko-kos-airport-msfs Been using the old Gaya LGKO in MSFS 2020-but Atelic's Kos is great in both 2020 and 2024. Any thoughts on this new Atelic airport?

Look. I'm REALLY trying to like FS 2024. I REALLY am. Yesterday I was able to do some testing in FS 2024 and I saw a lot of promising things. But in the last 30 minutes I've tried to load the default A321LR and the default KMCO and gave up on that after 15 minutes. Now, I am trying to load the same aircraft at KLAX and the same spinning wheel. I've got 64GB of RAM, a high-end system, and dual 1GB AT&T links. So half an hour of my time wasted staring at a spinning wheel? I've tried the East Coast server and now the West Coast server, but same garbage. Meanwhile, my GPU fan is whirring away on the teaser screen as I float over the airport fully loaded but never get…
