Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Cannot seem to find an aircraft that is flyable in IFR conditions If the AP will not turn on, it misses the FLC anyway. Been using C90 but King 350i is half baked EFB never once did it get the full FP into the aircraft regardless of source Such a pretty terrain simulator. But a messy quality control, a mess nothing less Were they all getting drunk at happy hour and leaving everything UNFINISHED?

Available through the Headwind installer e.g.

Issue: Load a default aircraft. Bind a key to SAVE VFR VIEW for example ctrl-V Change cockpit view, press ctrl-V to save the new view. Load any OTHER aircraft, default view is broken. This has happened to me on a number of occasions now. Today, I wanted to try a few default aircraft. I did the above, and all of a sudden the default view for all aircraft was broken. E.g.: Draco: Fenix A321: According to a post on the official forum, VFR PILOT VIEW SAVE can only be used once per MSFS session. If it happens, the solution is to restart the sim (without doing anything else with the cockpit view). This should res…

In fsx there was a key rate function that allowed one to change the key rate on the joystick. It was in the control settings when selecting a command with a key press. Is this even available in the ms2020. I want to speed up the key press rate. Thank you. Let me know. Peter

Can someone confirm for 2024, what sim settings should be used to ensure Active Sky is depicting live weather and that there are no conflicts? Just wanted to be sure. Thanks!

Starting on the runway results in one engine rotating but not actually running and I can't get the dead engine to start. I haven't tried at a gate or parking spot but I assume the same inoperable engine happens at a gate. If someone has time, I'd appreciate it if they could load the Short SC.7 Skyvan and confirm or deny it is broken in FS2024 due to this engine won't run issue? Its only currently available in the Aviator Edition btw. Thanks.

I guess with all the focus on the 777F and 2024 compatibility, the bit about the 747 got lost in the last PMDG update thread... https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/337094-23nov24-your-weekend-update-part-2-pmdg-777f-pmdg-737-and-pmdg-747-updates PMDG 747: Development work on the 747 continues to roll forward. Code-side preparation for the 747-400 is in an advanced stage of readiness and the code is running within MSFS2020. We are beginning to work through a strategic process to start mapping in changes that are necessary based on the documentation for the MSFS2024 platform, and it should make for a truly magnificent…

Now that the sim is relatively stable in that I can launch it whenever I want without sitting in a queue and the initial immense career mode framerate drop is, while not completely gone, much better, I've been messing with it quite a bit more. It has serious potential if the devs would just correct some mystifying design decisions: - Fuel. I haven't found a way to order an appropriate amount of fuel without "cheating." I get that they're trying to make you manage the mixture/etc properly and so they give you just barely enough fuel to reach the destination in many cases, but that's unrealistic. Where is my alternate +45 fuel? They should let us play a role in plannin…

Hopefully we can see one in the horison before MSFS 2024 is released. On the FSX days, it was one of my absolute favorites, second after SSW ⭐fighter

I think I read similar comments in the forum, but I noticed that MSFS is looking amazing from low/high altitude. It looks very realistic. I conducted a flight from Barcelona to Gibraltar and the terrain looked fantastic. It is no longer flurry. So I wonder if there an update recently? Anyone experienced the same?

Hello everyone, For those who might have missed it, the Just Flight Piper Warrior II has finally received a long awaited update to v0.3.9 released today! This used to be one of my favourite GA aircraft in the sim (biased as I fly them regularly in real life at a club which has a large fleet of them), but I stopped using it because a sim update completely broke the flight dynamics and to be frank it flew like a sack of poop. A new update came out today and I have to say it's much better, actually flies a lot closer to the real thing now and you can stall it properly and perform quite nice floaty landings which you certainly couldn't before! So happy days. …

As the title says, does anyone have the GTN units working in stock 24 aircraft like the Beaver? If so, how did you make it work? Thanks.

Do someone now how to fix that issue? https://youtu.be/BnmsHfqsod0 Pc specs. RTX 4070 Super 32GB 3200mhz on XMP I7 10700k Settings in the sim are mix of medium, high and only some on ultra. I use TAA with native Frame generation. LOD set to 130 I have locked fps to 162(165Hz monitor) and forced gsync in NCP

I have a radio stack question for the Fenix (applies to all 3 models). Per the image in the link, I want to be able to transmit and receive only on frequency 132.375 in VHF2 so I setup the buttons pointed by the red arrow as shown. This works fine. Concurrently, I want to have the in-range frequency 130.000 ready on VHF1 but do NOT want to receive/hear transmissions until ready so I setup the buttons pointed by the yellow arrow as shown. However, I can still hear chatter on this frequency. How do I limit both send and receive to 132.375, and have a valid, in-range frequency on the other side ? https://imgur.com/FwX9Q51

All of a sudden in MSFS2020 I am getting GSX is under remote control and then the window closes. I have no options at all for GSX Pro. I've never seen this before.

Today and yesterday I've had these connectivity issues. All of a sudden connection is lost - then briefly after connection has been resumed. I haven't really seen it much since the first week or so after release. Anyone else got this? I feel it might ignite the thread unnecessarily quoting this blog post by Mr. Neumann - but I'm going to do it anyway: I've been trying with/without VPN, but honestly, I don't know if it makes much of a difference. I'm also wondering whether connectivity issues could be related to drops in performance... Not sure at this stage.

I have the V1 of PDX and its pretty solid minus some of the newest features available. It was announced last June that a V2 with all the bells and whistles plus a massive terminal update featuring the real "PDXNext" project was in the works. At the time it looked pretty cool and I plan to update to V2 when released. I sort of forgot about it but today decided to see if it was available. I thought I read an article that it was released like 2 days later so like late June but can't seem to find it that story now. The story mentioned it can be purchased and downloaded from the Contrail App. However all that is For Sale is V1. So I thinking its not actually out yet! …

It seems worse in FS24, but I was getting a lot of random ENG 1 shutdowns. I was thinking it was the sim, or INI, but it turns out to be BATC. From their patch notes: Fix - Bug that could cause the players number one engine to shutdown. If this bug caused you some unexpected emergency training, we're sorry and you're welcome 🙂

Since today I am unable to start the Fenix 320. Battery switch nothing happens. External power nothing Everything stays dark Normally I see a short login when starting the sim and choose Fenix 320. I don't see this also. Anyone having this issue ?

Can someone explain to me what the auto FPS is supposed to do and how it works? I wasn't able to see much out there other than people saying it's a "game changer" but i am having a hard time understanding what it does. Would it be accurate in saying that it automatically reduces your sim settings automatically on the fly to keep the desired FPS you picked? So for example if you are flying into NYC and you have it set to something like 60 FPS in the Fenix, does this app dial down your settings from Ultra to Low to attempt to hit 60 FPS? Wouldn't that make your sim look bad? Or am i missing the benefits / not understanding what this does? Thanks!

For MSFS 2020. Not sure they will also release for 2024. Here's a teaser from their Facebook page and FSElite

Hi all, by doing some tests with AIG and FSLTL AI Traffic, AutoFPS and BATC I stumbled over something puzzling, I wonder if it is an issue on my end or a general issue: when I hit "ESC" in the sim, Frame Generation seems to get disabled. If I then use the "free look camera" to fly around the scenery and airport, FG remains off. As soon as I click on "resume", FG gets reactivated again. What the heck? My question: is there any other possibility to get into the "drone" camera without hitting the escape button? I will then check if this also results in disabling FG. Maybe it is just linked with the "ESC" button action. No need for FG in the menues, so it is not entirel…

Hello Gang! Has anyone noticed that the DA40 NG in 2024 can hardly brake? Did a couple of circuits today around MPTO trying out some things and it took almost the whole length of the runway to stop. What in the world?
