Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

So I just read this from iniBuilds: So it looks like going forward, iniBuilds will be exclusively developing new products for MSFS only (I believe they will still support their A300 and Beluga in XP 12 though). I have to admit, iniBuilds has been a huge boon to MSFS. 3 years ago, if you told me that iniBuilds would be a huge part of why MSFS is successful, I wouldn't have guessed it. But as of 2024, they are a huge reason why MSFS is so successful. Since they started focusing on MSFS, their scenery team went from 5 scenery developers to 27 scenery developers. IniBuilds today is probably one of the most prominent scenery developers for MSFS, it's crazy how they …

Hey all, hope everyone's having a good weekend. Hey quick question on GSX And Cargo operations...so Im Flying the A300 Freighter and I noticed the first few times i loaded cargo, I got a train of 5 container cars to load. Now at Atlanta, trying to load (Max Gross) and im only getting one container despite the weight. also have boarding density set to "insane". how can I get the full train of cargo container cars? is there a setting or trick im missing to adjust the number on containers?

Hi there, I'm just now getting back into Hans' ATR, and while my throttle levers appear to be working, in the EFB's calibration both "Max Power" and "Full Reverse" are greyed out and have the word "Fixed" in the box. I can only set ramp, notch and idle. I swear this used to work fine for me. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm using Thrustmaster TCA Airbus throttles, which I've used before with the ATR before a reinstall. Thanks in advance, Pete

Hey guys, ok this will be a bit of a challenge, but can anyone identify the scenery in this screenshot?? I’m after that hangar/building scenery. It’s like trying to find a needle in a stack of needles lol

MSFS map page. If you make a starting and a destination and then use the search bar to Add 4 airport stops in between, then you have created a six airport flight. A labeled diagram line appears, starting at one airport, running through 4 more, and ending at the 6th. A very neat map. If you save the flight from this map page before flying it, you can fly it again later by importing it from the map page. And the diagram lines and labels will reappear. If your save is Acme.pln then you will create and save BOTH Acme.flt and Acme.pln files. And you later can import either one, the flight or the plan. Depending on what you want to do. But if your save was Acme.f…

I seem to recall that the last update addressed the tyre pressure problem that many of us were experiencing with the PMDG 777 - oops sorry guess I should be saying Tire pressure ! Not working for me - I still have the issue. Just downloaded a stock livery (British Airways) and get tyre pressure problems in all tyres. Followed advise on the PMDG forum, and deleted panel states that I have created, and recreated them. Also reset the startup panel. Still does not work - any further thoughts as to what I can do

Finally found the perfect combination... I was missing TrackIR when i purchased EDTracker and later used it with Opentrack to play DCS World and IL-2 Great Battles, but after having tried it sometime ago with MSFS 2020, I didn't like the result so I dropped it until... this morning 🙂 Inspired by my cat, I fired EDTracker Pro, Opentrack 2.3.10 and started playing around with the controller settings in MSFS 2020 until I found a sweetspot : This is how I set up EDTracker in MSFS 2020 https://imgur.com/a/9QJepOR for SENSITIVITY I chose: https://imgur.com/a/tMMGLjR My EdTracker settings look like: https://imgur.com/a/MSzy4De and in …

anybody else observing this?

This is the 5th and final prediction... And as promised last time, I am saving the Best for last! It's kindof a double prediction: Asobo are going to create and release an awesome 757 and 767 with FS2024! By that I mean (along with the Max) a never seen before level of quality with default aircraft. That includes deep avionics and systems from WT. It will keep payware devs on their toes!

Sometime ago, there was talk of someone developing a floaty version of the Van. I enjoy the BLSQ Caravan, and they provide a facility for this, but I've heard no news on this for a while. Anyone know if there is still any development on a floaty version of the Van ???

Is there a method of getting even simple flight plans to load into the current MSFS WT GNS 430/530? Oh I miss the days with RXP!

On the Black Square Duke last night and the iniBuilds A300, I am not seeing anything on the display. I flew right into a rain storm last night in the Duke, and never had any green?? Has something in the sim with updates changed? Thx all

I am about ready to pull the trigger on the MD-11, one of my favorite aircraft, TFDi recommends at least a Ryzen 7 3700 and 16g ram. I have a Ryzen 5 3600 and 32g ram. Would this be doable? Does anyone have this combo? Thanks in advance

I'm interested in getting back into the A320 and this was the big missing piece for me back when I was flying it originally. Does anyone know the current status of this capability on the FBW A320NX? I mean the ability for the aircraft to fly an RNAV approach to the threshold. Thanks.

Hello after I had finished my latest windows11 - update I was surprised to see the browser with a much larger scale, the same after starting the MSFS2020. Everything showed in at least double size. With settings > system > display > scale & layout I could reduce the scale from the posted 300 back to the normal 100 so that the browser looked as usual. However this had no influence at all on the Sim. Letters and images everything oversized ! In the sim I could not find any input to reduce the scale . How can I reduce the image size/scale of MSFS2020 ? Gert

It's been happening for a a long time, but I have never come across any explanation or solution for this. The multiplayer aircraft on the ground sometimes 'bounce' up and down slightly which is quite jarring and immersion breaking. Does anyone know why this happens and if there is any known or planned solution for it. Not sure if it's a VATSIM or a MSFS anomaly. EDit: **Seen the question being asked, but no clear solution or explanation

Hi all, Choosing runway to takeoff and land. Navigraph/FSHUD/ActiveSky/Website None of them seem to choose the same one. Navigraph has DEP and ARR runway in use, but I am not sure how reliable they are. Do you guys have a preference or do you just follow whatever ATC program you use decide and not bother changing.

After nearly 4 years of mostly no problems with MSFS, I'm getting CTD's on loading screen. Tonight, after a few weeks of not being able to fly, I was finally able to set some time apart. I was really excited to download the new WU 17. I did so and did a quick and awesome flight around London. No problems at all. I then decided I wanted to actually do a proper planned flight. Most times, I'll restart the sim between flights, however when I went to get started again, I got a CTD on loading. I tried restarting Windows. No dice. I usually run in administrator mode, so I tried to start it regularly, still -- no dice. I feel like I've been super lucky throughout the years…

Y see that at MSFS you can save and load *.pln and *.flt files, which is the diference between them ?

I just found out they just released another military aircraft. Based on YT and reviews, many opine this DC release is quite promising, some say it is their best release so far. Has anyone tried it? Or has anyone given them a second chance I should say.

Hello, on a recent vacation I had the chance to fly on a Loganair E145. I always like to recreate my vacation flights when I get home but of course there is no ERJ145 available and really the only one previously was the Feelthere one for FSX/P3D (which was generally quite good for its time, likely Feelthere’s best work). It does seem a bit odd that this pretty common plane doesn’t seem to be in the sights of any developer…is there anyone out there working on this that I’ve missed?
