Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Just got this excellent addon 2 days ago. Just wonder if its possible to load a flightplan into it automaticly? Hate to manually do it, im a little bit lazy:p

Hello, I don't know how to say it or explain it, when atc tells me the squawk #### where do I put it?? Does Inbuilds A-300 have a transponder?? Because I can't find it or it doesn't have one. I have been looking for it. Also, I have been looking at tutorials. Can someone please help me on this. Thanx

Backstory: I'm starting to feel a bit of "choice overload" when deciding what to fly, and decided it's time to de-clutter the hangar (default planes included). Decided to take the Comanche out for a spin, and haven't been able to put it down. The stress it can induce as well as the attention to detail you must have makes flying feel less....well, fake. This made me realize: over the past 4 years, I've bought way too many $hitty planes out of hope, rather than sticking to my guns about fidelity...So now, there's a bunch of 'junk' in the hangar that I'd like to clear out and stick to planes that actually have realistic capabilities. Don't get me wrong, some of these 'bad' p…

I have a dual 32" monitor setup with another small 5x7 LCD that I use to pop out the EFIS and the HSI in the Fenix A320. For some reason now when I right-alt, get the "plus" sign and then left click, no windows pop out. I don't have any other desktops set up or odd configurations that I know of. The monitors are set to their native and recommended resolutions. Anyone else have this strange behavior? Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello all! So I noticed that things haven't been as sharp lately and some shimmering so I took a look at my UserCfg.opt and I found some weird resolutions...Why are they so low and not my original res?

Well, I mean, with MSFS 2024 having such a remarkably bright future, how come be MSFS 2020 is still selling so well ?

I've downloaded the Atarium BA livery pack (G-STBA, G-STBM, G-STBN) and the G-STBN livery has INOP stickers on the EFIS panel above the WXR and POS buttons. See here: https://imgur.com/EaWGjBM How can I get rid of this and why have they done this?

Captains,This weekend's roundup of news-worthy items:PMDG 777-300ER Coming to Marketplace for PC/XBOX:Later today (Thursday) Microsoft will make the 77W available in MSFS Marketplace for both PC and Xbox customers. This is the first of the 777 series to be launched in Marketplace, and we are excited to bring our flagship long-hauler to the Xbox platform, giving our Marketplace users the full range of our fleet from DC-6 to 777-300ER. As of this writing, we believe the Marketplace distribution of liveries for 77W will not be available until 15AUG24, but our contacts at Microsoft told us that they are still trying to get the liveries released with the airplane today. (Worst…

When setting-up the flight, at the bottom right of the second INIT page, there is an entry called EXTRA TIME with values, for example, 7.3/0139. I think this means 7300 lbs. of fuel and 1 hour 39 minutes of available "extra flying" given the current fuel load, GW, etc. Does this extra time include or exclude the time required to fly from the destination to the alternate ? I would appreciate feedback on the meaning/definition of this MCDU entry.

I would like to use the Elevator Trim Wheel on the Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle, but it's way too sensitive and difficult to control, at least for me. Does anyone have any idea about how to desensitize it so I can control it and not have a huge overresponse with the slightest touch? Thanks.

Hi to all, most of the time I fly with FENIX A320 and use the key command ALTRGR+mouse click to open PFD or ND. So is it possible to display a specific window (i.e. PFD or ND) on a ipad? Thanks to all in advance, Riccardo

How do you get to the dfferent window views? I can't locate any info on this. Gnacino

Hello, So now we have LSFG, Auto FPS, Framerate MOD (for RTX 20/30 series) and the native RTX 40 series frame generation. I was wondering which is the best for improvement frame rate and smoothness ?

I keep on getting this message when trying to upload the game to my PC from disks :- Error Code: -5005 : 0x80070017 Error Information: >\KernelMedia.cpp (95) >setup.cpp (840) PAPP:Microsoft Flight Simulator PVENDOR:Xbox Game Studios (https://www.xbox.com) PGUID:0EE844B4-4833-46AB-B307-75DBF52FC226 $24.0.573 @Windows 10 / Server 2016 Service Pack 0 (22631) IE Version: 9.11.22621.0 how can I fix this ?

Why is there an overlay now while in the cockpit of Heading Flaps etc? I have turned off all assistance that I can. Why in he** do they insist on being stupid with the updates. God help us on 2024!~

I've been simming for a long time, but only recently invested in rudder pedals. I got the Logitech G Flight model, and it's calibrated.i reduced sensitivity to -50% I had hoped to be getting a better experience and better landings. But actually it's the opposite. Landings are sometimes all over the place. It's awful. Anyone got any tips?? What settings do you use?

So when I purchased the PMDG 777 a few weeks ago, I updated the Navdata via the universal flight tablet, and it all worked well. Today, the new cycle of Navigraph has been released, and I have updated my Navigraph hub and Navigraph Data manager successfully. Having done that, I then spawned my PMDG 777 at a gate. Went to the Universal flight tablet and selected 'update navdata' - the process of downloading starts, and it gets to about 75% and freezes. Tried several times, rebooted, tried different airports - still the same problem. Can anyone help me through this?

Hi all, Finally decided to give it a go. Other good helicopters out there, but the consensus seems to be FlyInside Bell 206B ( most hands-on and most realistic) HPG 145 / 160 (More automated,easier to fly) HPG is more expensive.( Not really an issue) The questions are would you agree with this assessment and second is it still worth it if I am not using VR. I do use TrackIR.

Folks I have really made major mistake by accidentally pressing the” delete” key in MSFS deleting the community file. This hurts at being over 82 years old,it causes the heart to increase beating. All my add ons, which were over 200 Gigs, lost. When I decided to start up MSFS it started adding all my MSFS 3 packages I had purchased over a year with updates using steam. It completed after a hour or so. It stated I could now add downloads which I had purchased over the years or so under MSF. (which were 20 or more}. Then started up MSFS All appeared went well with the MSF downloads. but when I had over 250gs before, now noticed have only 49 gigs remaining on HD. …

I'm getting this message starting MSFS then it exits the program. Have had this issue with the last few Nvidia drivers. My 3090ti is not overclocked or overheating so those causes can be ruled out. Anyone else? Have some of you settled on an older driver that is stable?

I have an issue with my Hdr being washed out. I think? I have tried to calibrate it and everything else. Textures were super crisp but now washed out I thought it may be a driver issue or perhaps the dpi port cable? Or msfs itself Or my GPU or monitor going out? Any thoughts of how I can fix it?

So I have the standard version of MSFS2020 installed as I have gamepass ultimate. I've decided to buy the Premium deluxe upgrade for MSFS2020. It gives me an option to download Premium upgrade or Deluxe upgrade. I'm confused because the Premium upgrade is a bigger file size. What do I do?

Am trying to ascertain why fuel goes to bingo nearing destination. I am using the current and correct simbrief profile. Its not loading enough fuel. What am I missing. Thanks

It's now about noon Pacific Daylight Time. At midnight last night, msfs would not perform. DevMode showed tons of red spikes in the cpu window and stutters galore. I restarted the computer, restarted MSFS, checked task manager readouts, nothing helped. And when I shut down and rebooted the computer 3 or 4 times it didn't help. So I shut it down again we went to sleep and got up and now about noon the next day (12 hours later), MSFS runs perfectly. I made no changes. Wish I knew what the problem was 12 hours ago. Perhaps the MS servers?
