Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

MSFS2024´s VFS (Virtual file system) - no more streaming from cloud. Here is tutorial video, how to access all the MSFS2024 airplanes and use necessary files to make addon for yourself, when you dont need to download certain stuff from cloud anymore. This might work also with others stuff, so make tour with the VFS. For airplanes, it works very well. Loading times with B737 max: 75 seconds without self made addon, 44sec with self made addon. Use this template to make your own addon for self use only: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zFA2ExTH6p9wJvAqEnjpWu52c0DpACul/view?usp=sharing Dont upload your addons anywhere, this instruction is only for self use. …

Hello everyone, I have an issue with missing procedures for LTFM airport from Flightsim.to. I’m in beta and have a Navigraph subscription. Until two weeks ago, all procedures were available. Yesterday, I wanted to start a flight from LTFM (Istanbul) to LSGG (Geneva) in the Airbus A321N by IniBuilds. When I tried to select a SID procedure in the FMS, only runways were available, but no procedures. The same issue occurred in the MSFS planner in the sim. I tried reinstalling the airport mod and Navigraph data, but nothing worked. I should mention that I have the latest update for LTFM, which is compatible with MSFS 2024. Two weeks ago, eve…

I am sick and tired of the utterly annoying wires of my headphone and Track Clip Pro so (after years and years of being sick and tired) I am (finally) planning to replace my headphone with a wireless Blutooth one. And then of course I also would like to have a wireless solution for my Track Clip Pro. What's considered to be the best option for this? Preferably one that's easy to purchase: I once read about some wireless option for this which you could only order if you subscribed to some Facebook page and since I don't have (and don't want) Facebook that's not really an option for me. What option would you advice (if money wasn't a problem)?

Greetings, I just "upgraded" to Win11 in light of support for 10 coming to an end not that far down the road. I now find that I can't start msfs2020. If anyone has experienced this and has a solution i would sure like to hear it. Thanks.

How do we access the log book in 2024 ?

Why does simbrief insist on giving me the Veeck5 approach to rwy 27C at KORD, It makes zero sense?

So it looks like MSFS 2024 has a new LOD feature for cabins that helps to improve the FPS. From what I understand, MSFS 2024 can show detailed cabins without sacrificing the FPS as much because it uses some new LOD feature for cabins. IniBuilds is using this LOD cabin feature in MSFS 2024 and FSElite briefly talks about it in their preview of the iniBuilds A350: Because iniBuilds is trying to ensure iniBuilds A350 runs well on MSFS 2020 as well, it looks like the cabin for their MSFS 2020 version won't be the full version of the cabin compared to the version for MSFS 2024, to preserve the performance for MSFS 2020. MSFSaddons talks about this here: I wou…

I installed the ORBX LOWI airport today and was very impressed. I started cold and dark with the BlkSq TBM 850 and went for a 30-minute sight seeing tour of the area. The airport was spectacular as I climbed out to the east. Landed uneventfully and returned to the GA parking area where I could not find a parking spot. It is not possible to taxi anywhere except in the grass areas. There were literally hundreds of combines, agricultural tractors, urban fire trucks, heavy over the road trucks, lighter pickup trucks parked everywhere. They were under the wings and belly of an A-330. They blocked every square meter of ramp space. I cannot be rid of them! The c…

Just wondering about career mode--feel like I'm hearing from people saying it's fun and interesting but also that there are so many bugs that it makes it not worth trying or able to advance. Interested to hear some takes from those who have tried it and the extent to which it has improved / stabilized since initial release. Thanks

Flying the TBM 930 at FL20 on a HDG course over the high desert in California with a FEW clouds and no other addons. Settings on HIGH with NO Frame Gen (just for simple record keeping), NO VSynch, NO frame rate limiter. External Camera slightly above and behind the plane and Cockpit Camera from Left seat wide angle. Following is a sequence of views and the dramatically changing FPS and CPU load Outside view 60 FPS 9ms main thread 59% GPU load Inside view 30 FPS 12ms main thread 69% GPU load Inside view looking out the window 15 fps 67ms main thread 80% GPU load move outside 31 FPS 31ms main thread 77% GPU load (same scenery/clouds as first …

While everyone is in an A350 coma, HW has released an update to their A330 which includes updates to flight model, sounds, RA callouts, flare updates. Anyone tried it? erich

I fly primarily on vatsim or not online at all since I never liked default or non human arc. I read somewhere that sayintentions.ai can be used when flying on vatsim when there are no online atc available. Is that true and if so, how does that work? Is it any good instead of using Unicom?

What's the consensus recommendation on this? Do they often work, ones created by 3rd parties and purchased thru the Store or their installation apps? Thanks!

On my camera in 2024 so as to make a switch from "chase" view to, for example, "left" and make it permanent until I change it?..any help apprecited... '

I've been doing all sorts of flights and it doesn't seem to change wether it be long hauls, short hual, of even doing patternd in a 172 it’s not making a difference. (I know the video is short but I typicall I stop recording as there is nothing that I tried can fix it.) When it would happen in 2020 a simple alt+ enter to go windowed and then back to full screen fixed it now only a complete game restart fixes it when I restart the flight nothing changes My PC specs: I7 10700K 4060 ti 16gb of vram 64gb ddr4 2 x 2 tb ssd

I run a triple monitor display and one monitor for discord. I’m looking to add a small iPad or screen where I can run the PFD and maybe some other instruments on. What is a good software in order to achieve this?

I’m sure this is easy and a way to do it, but I just got a Bluetooth headset and I’d like to set that up when flying but only to hear vatsim atc and use it for my voice commands. Is that possible? I can do that via usb but haven’t gotten that to work with wireless Bluetooth. Thanks

Hi, I’m facing a few issues in MSFS 2024 which I believe are somewhat self inflicted. I’d like to uninstall and reinstall, but really CBA to do the controller bindings again. If I was to uninstall via the normal Windows route, then install again, would I still keep my controller bindings? At the absolute worst case scenario, what would I possibly lose? Thanks, Mike

Hi, pro pilot here, amateur youtuber, tiny little page up and running, hoping to provide some useful real pilots' insight in this already saturated market, but what the heck, I figured I would try it .... fun doing this side project... I flew the asobo max 9 bbj on a real time flight short distance so nobody goes to sleep...... MHT LCI / 3 parts in case ya'll don't want to see too much, I know many of you are long experienced pilots on sims / IRL. too..... Be honest let me know if it sucks, kinda good or dang mind blowing great... haha, thanks, Peter James FS2024 737MAX REAL TRIP PART1 MHT LCI

I have looked for them without success...even tried to add to my Custom Content without success...any plans known to bring them back?

So which one looks more realistic to you ?

Below are two images taken at the north end of KSEE airport in El Cajon (San Diego) California The trees, rocks, ground texture are all terrible. My settings TLOD 300 and OLOD 200 with everything set to ULTRA running on a 48" 4K screen. Until I installed the RTX 4070 - I 'kinda ignored all the discussions about the sims "aggressive" (??) management of images and textures - but what I see is horrible Is there any way to make the scenery look better?

Just Flight published a really lovely update about the upcoming Professional series of the analog Baron and Bonanza... worth a read 🙂 https://www.justflight.com/articles/new-black-square-msfs-aircraft-development-update-feb-2025
