Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

I just "released the parking brake" and did the pre-order for MSFS-2024, premium deluxe edition. According to the website: "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 — available for pre-order today on the Microsoft Store — will launch in a variety of editions on November 19, 2024, and the Standard Edition will be available day one with Game Pass. All pre-orders will receive the De Havilland Canada CL-415 firefighting aircraft to use instantly in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)...." Does anyone here know what else I might need to do to actually receive this pre-order bonus? I did the transaction yesterday, 24 hours ago, but have not yet received the aircraft. When I logg…

I'd love to have this plane in MSFS. Is anyone doing the Pilatus PC-24? What is the name of the airport in this video? FLYING THE BRAND NEW PC-24 JET in the SWISS ALPS! - YouTube

Hi all, I've tested in last SU15 fsltl. I flew a flight from. EDDF Frankfurt Lufthansa flight A320 fenix, to LIPE Bologna. 1st leg no problem. Then, the ultimate test. Return leg to EDDF, no surprise whatsoever, no AI traffic on the airport, not even parked models. The thing is, even when I force Ground Traffic with traffic settings in msfs the models spawn and disappear straight away!! How in heaven's name, is Asobo NOT CAPABLE, of solving this ever immersion destroying BUG! What in heaven's f@#€! The list extends to all major airports I tested currently: eham, eddf, egll... Next test will concern flights to minor hubs. Short legs from reg…

Milviz Shrike (a lower division of Milviz than the Blackbird) made a so so twin Comanche. This one looks better on paper. 26 liveries. https://store.flightsim.com/Piper-Twin-PA-30-Comanche-MSFS_p_5091.html manual: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u67u0VA1Ye2CW9ZribK_zxVeJwue_eQS/edit

Hello! I flew an RNAV approach into Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic today in the Fenix A320. Most destinations I fly to have ILS so I would just use that, this was one of the first times I've flown an RNAV approach in the Airbus. It all went well and I was aided by the L/DEV and V/DEV bars on the PFD in place of the usual ILS indications, with the AP/FD in APPR mode. The airframe I was using didn't have FLS (this wasn't enabled in the EFB). If I'd have turned it on or used one with FLS, what would the difference have been - what would it have been able to do that one without it couldn't on an RNAV approach? Thanks!

Which one are you planning on using for your purchase and why? Can 2024 be played outside the Steam client? Thanks!

I am getting crashed with MSFS. Always I want to pushback with GSX it crashes. Never happend before and I rarely get CTD with MSFS. What I did knew is, I updated GSX and installed PMDG via marketplace (just bought it maybe it's related to PMDG?) Here the event viewer messages: I have google it seems that Coautl64 has nothing to do with it, but I dont know how to get rid of this issue.

Hi flyers I hope this is the correct forum to post this query in. I did have a scroll through various forum headers and did a search. I bought GSX for MSFS 2020 a while ago. I installed it but have never configured it nor used it yet. I mainly fly the PMDG 737-800 and Fenix A320 and will possibly purchase the iFly 737-Max. I have briefly looked at the supplied pdf guide. Please advise me based on your GSX experience: a) After installation, what essential configuration/set up do I need to do in the GSX settings and options? b) How do I use the essential GSX services within PMDG 737-800, Fenix A320 and iFly 737-Max or e.g. do I just use t…

On a twitch stream title I have found this discount for msfs 2024 https://de.gamesplanet.com/game/microsoft-flight-simulator-2024-aviator-edition-microsoft-store-download--7245-3 Can someone explain me how that works? Is it thrustworthy?

Hi , after a new drive install i was not allowed to move all folders to the new drive. I usually had MSFS2020 installed on O:MSFS (official and community folder here) I am trying to reinstall or repair but the xbox app doesnt allow me to install outside c drive. I have tried under windows system/storage for new app installation which is set to the O drive but MSFS2020 keeps wanting to install to c/xboxgames I cant move the location within the xbox app. Keep saying only on c drive allowed Any other suggestion to look at? I want it to install in my own location. I guess having a backup of the official and community is a good thing? Thanks…

Since I focused on the mission system for much of the tech alpha I thought I would bring up some of my observations. I am fully aware these may or may not be addressed/fixed in the final build. More or less I'm just wondering aloud to see what everyone else might think about it. Likes: That you can skip taxing and jump straight to take-off. Avatar mode for walking around the aircraft. Route displays rectangles in the air for newer pilots to guide them. Dialog from the passengers during the flight adds to immersion. (Even though the dialog was cringy at times.) Paying for certifications is a one and done thing. If you fail the certification, you are able …

Whoever had their hands on the technical alpha, are the turnarounds without needing to exit to the main menu possible now? Do we have all the tools to land, setup/import new flight plan and move along?

I am happy that I haven't missed the sale this time again. When I buy the PMDG 737 via the market place will that have any disadvantages for me? Can I install regular livery via PMDG app or that I download via flightsim.to ? Is the PMDG still worth since the ifly has been released? Optically the ifly is probably better (though it never and implemented never technology and made use of the msfs engine) but the PMDG might be system-wise still very good?

First: I have raised a support ticket already.Dear Flight-Simmers!I have found an issue with severe FPS Loss from 60 FPS in VR and also 2D Dislay, down to 20 FPS and even less, when changing the ND DIsplays ranges AND only occuring when FIXES are set.In my case 2 ETOPS: HKJK and HTKJ on my route from OMDB to FMEE.HKJK 1108 (Put in FMC as HKJK and /1108)HTKJ 1113 (Put in FMC as HTKJ and /1113)Important: Fixes do not always cause FPS loss. When I used these fixes with other smaller and bigger parameters then /1108 and /1113, I did not have any issues. In my case I had them with exact these numbers and at one other flight also at KSFO arrivel with KSFO fix set and with /15, …

This Sim Includes Far Too Many Aircraft For starters, this sim costs about 3 times the Maxiumum I would usually pay for any software. I have preordered Premium Deluxe and I have no regrets about this (because it's flight sim!), and it includes 160 hand crafted airports. However it also includes 95 aircraft. This is Far too many! Now I Do Expect these aircraft to be a good standard with quality avionics thanks to Dev partners and WT etc. However there are still 95 of them. Far too many! Solution for FS2028 I think for FS2028, there should be a "custom deluxe" package also. What that means is that after install, you start the sim for the first time and en…

I pre-purchased 2024 premium deluxe from Microsoft Store. It told me to select install location. As pre-purchase I didn't see the point but since it was showing a default on C-drive XBoxGames, I selected other option which was XBoxGames on my sim drive where 2020 is installed. Of coarse it didn't actually install, it just said release date November.. So when I close Store app I see MSFS 2020 shortcut pinned to taskbar disappear. It still shows up in Start menu but clicking on it does nothing. I tried to "fix" it under properties, but that did nothing. If I go to it in start menu and select "run as admin" it will run, but that is only way. Clearly MS has screwed up my…

anyone getting this ?. updated to latest studio driver ( DDU) yesterday and getting terrible audio stutter with sim stutter as well. reverted back to previous driver and still the same. uninstalled the ASUS Sonic audio rubbish and intel as well just leaving the Realtek driver. Re installed the latest Studio driver made no difference . Funny thing is its only in flight , using the FENIX/ FSTL/ FSrealistic . on a hunch Iam suspecting FSTL . going to uninstall it and carry out the flight again . not had this issue for a very long time ?

Not sure if this is a me issue or an MSFS server issue, but is anyone else seeing blurry ground textures like this is as well? I'm pretty sure it was never this bad, it's so blurry in the Mid/Background. I don't remember such a hard transition This is over Heathrow looking north, TLOD 200, OLOD 150 Could someone do a similar test please?

2.2.0.403 A new update is now available via the Fenix Installer, this has a couple of optimisations that nets us a bit of high-priority CPU time, we hope that this may help some affected with the oscillations free up a bit of headroom and therefore alleviate the issue, let us know if it helps please! Additionally, some fixes to GPS data, and for those flying in the US - switching STARs should now be a bit easier Finally, FLX has learned how to behave itself a little better, so improvements all over the airplane really! Enjoy @everyone Avionics and Systems Optimised internal scheduling of display rendering Added cargo distribution to loadsheet Added…

Hey! I've taken a bit of time off but I'm very excited to get back, especially with 2024 coming back I was really into flying ILS with private aircraft when I took a break but I have the PMDG 737 and the FENIX Could someone give me a link to the best and newest FENIX tutorials to brush up with? I've found the Ryanair guy's 737 tutorial still scratches my itch and I have a lot more hours in the Boeing so I'm still good there. I'm not sure if i ever really learned how to actually fly the FENIX though, I was able to limp it around, but don't have a good link that I trust like I have for the 737. Thanks everyone! …

These past few days I've been able to see some comparison videos between the 2020 and 2024 versions. It seems to me that the new one appears with a much lighter color, whitish or very light gray. In MSFS 2020, the landscape appears much darker when it is cloudy or in the shadow (from a building, a mountain, for example), but in 2024 the mountains aspect are quite different in colour. Compare the Grand Canyon or the Gran Capitan in Yosemite. If memory serves me right, the images of the Grand Canyon appear much more brown in any National Geographic documentary, for example. Has anyone noticed this? Regards

Hello, So I run online software to choose a valid commercial flight to fly, in this particular case LFTH to LFPO. I set up my simbrief flight plan and all my third party software, choose a livery, print out fuel calculations, etc. Then I start MSFS2020 and all of a sudden the airport (LFTH) is not recognized, even though it is visible within the MSFS map. Built in 1966 it's bizarre it is excluded although probably it is because of an adjacent naval base. Also it happens from time to time that newer airports (most often in China) are also not recognized in MSFS2020. So the main question: is there a tool available or way to tell what airports are recognized wi…
