Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Interesting. I found the given explanations exceptionally clear.

Get it exclusively on ORBX! https://orbxdirect.com/product/immersive-audio-maddogx-msfs More than 8 months of obsessive development and countless hours of refining went into this project to bring you one of the most comprehensive and faithful MD-80 sound experiences ever created for any flight simulation platform. You'll hear the unique howl of the air conditioning packs, the pure mechanical clack of switches, the signature whine of the avionics bay, and the iconic buzz of JT8D on every takeoff. With so many details included, the cockpit simply feels alive. Whether you're taxiing with the window open or powering through the climb with the JT8Ds scre…

In a recent rant about poor flying qualities and file encryption, I called out several developers. I swore off MSFS and was heading back to P3D. As I was poking around to see if anything could be salvaged from my foray into MSFS I discovered the Black Square stuff is NOT encrypted. So I made some adjustments and tried MSFS again. They flew very nicely as I tuned them to my hardware and my own perception (I have flown roughly half of them IRL). I even got the Analog King Air to work with help from this forum. Soooooo.... I'm back into MSFS 24, or should I say Black Square Flight Simulator 2024? Their products are very good, and with a little tuning the flying…

Have been using the aircraft since it came out with no issues. Just updated to b252. install went fine, restarted PC, loaded the aircraft, try to start the flight by hitting the "Start Flight" button and it never loads, I just get the "spinning wheel" in the bottom righthand corner. I even let it run over night incase it was just a "first load" issue, but it still never loaded. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled, but didn't help. Any suggestions?

This update looks interesting... Changelog: >> Maddog Manager - added direct link for downloading the paintkit; - fixed issue with Manager when installing liveries for both 2020 and 2024, and randomly resetting registration data; - Official Liveries are now automatically installed to the correct variant; when installing liveries from a local folder, the destination variant must be selected from the variants menu; - added separate volume controls for cockpit/warnings/autothrottle/switches/pax cabin; - added selection of theme on Maddog Manager: System/Light/Dark. >> EFB - new Apps UI; - fixed issue with EFBs not visible with certain…

Keep getting a FSLabs Data Not Loaded in the FSLabs A321neo cockpit with the FSLabs Control Center running in MSFS 2024 with Sim Update 2 and latest Sim Update 3 beta. After uninstall/reinstall multipole times, still am getting FSLabs Data Not Loaded. I am therefore unable to start the A321neo up. FSLabs Data Not Loaded What could I try?

MSFS2024 message during launch: "We've detected an issue with one or more essential servers ... Error Code:003-2000-801901f7" Never had this type of message. anybody else with this error? Edit: Found some confirming this error reports in the official MSFS forum. Starting today 02/07

Hello Gang! Any developer looking at doing KFLL, TJSJ, KDFW, or KSTS? LatinVFR has pretty much abandoned their sceneries mtce for all practical purposes and KFLL and TJSJ are a bloody mess, even with the latest TJSJ update which now made it worse. No one has done KSTS which is a great little airport north of SFO in Sonoma County. KDFW not for the faint of heart - I get it, but neglected in MSFS. Thanks Dennis

Haven't seen this mentioned so forgive if I missed it. Recently I have had performance issues, including flickering screens in both MFS2020 and MFS2024 when they were in focus. Luckily the flickering went away in VR. After removing the windows update, flickering has gone and performance is back. The culprit is update KB5074109 . https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/yet-another-windows-update-is-wreaking-havoc-on-gaming-rigs-worldwide-nvidia-recommends-uninstalling-windows-11-kb5074109-january-update-to-prevent-framerate-drops-and-artifacting

But i am finding myself flying more so in 2020 than 2024. 2024 is stable for me also But 2020 i find that i have tuned the settings and rex atmos to the point it looks too good to be going to 2024. Mike

Just installed the latest WSSS from ImagineSim which is apparently their "2026" version. But, still gate numbers are wrong and jetways don't extend out to aircraft...they stop halfway. Really disappointed.

Hopefully this link works it shows In Progress SU5 https://www.flightsimulator.com/feedback-snapshot/

Version 0.10.31 (public experimental) available ------------------------ Hi @E-Jets Customer, We have an updated public experimental version available. A lot has changed under the hood, the most important items are listed in the changelog. As of today, we’ve started working on integrating a holding feature. This will take at least four weeks. We may ship an intermediate update with other changes before then. Changelog Improved Flight Director on takeoff, Tons of fixes in MCDU for SID/STAR handling and direct to logic, Significantly improved speed profile and handling, especially on constraints, Improved flight dynamics for E170/175 in FS24, …

So the Bluebird 757 is maybe a year away and the CS767-300 was only $9.99...how bad can it be... Pretty bad, but in truth the VC is really nice and a pleasant place to be in VR, so it's worth trying to fix the worst problems. Free liveries seem to have been deliberately broken by CS, to make you buy the official ones - either a black collar behind the cockpit or the middle fuselage being black. However you CAN overwrite the House livery in the Captain sim folder (texture.CS) to get one livery at a time (two counting 4door and 6 door variants). As a VR flyer I'm not much cocerned with liveries. May also need to change the Model file and you may need to rege…

Happens with my TFDI MD11 as soon as I request boarding...

Anyone getting 3rd party liveries to work with the Jaguar? This would be the native version. Nothing I've picked up from Flightsim.to works. Thanks

For anyone who enjoys flying low and slow in VR, or leaf blowers ,I would highly recommend this new Mini-Max from Emerald scenery design. It’s way more fun than $15 has any right to be. As a footnote, and as I suspected, with that low wing loading it also makes a decent enough ridge soarer with its little 2 stroke turned off and fair breeze ! https://emeraldscenerydesign.com/news/msfs20-24-mini-max-1500r-sport/

Hi I hated the canoe on the Beaver so much I figured out how to move the MSFS 2020 Beaver over to 2024. It works fine so far! If anyone wants directions on how to do it let me know. I had to reinstall 2020 to copy the aircraft. Look Ma, no canoe.

I found this really great GSX companion. Maybe you'll like it, too

In the past it was a start/stop process of reading the PMDG docs/manuals. But with the online manuals, I’ve spent more free time reading what PMDG gave me for $75 … and frankly I’m blown away. Snippets: I didn’t even know “physiological comfort” was a thing on a 737. Had no idea … absolutely didn’t know. Again, seriously … is this actually modeled? Dang, variable delay in engagement due to pressurization. Another thing to try … No idea what a BITE test is? Anyone? Live real-time load usage for all the systems?! And I’m not even 1/2 way thru the first document of three. Impressive … lo…

Howdy. Just bought this today after years of consideration. Problem with is it keeps failing due to “corrupt zip files”. Googling those topics, GSX won’t install and corrupt zip flies brings literally thousands of topics stretching back years and years offering multiple kludgey work arounds, none of which have worked for me so far. I’ve posted this on FSDT GSX forum but no response so far, it has been less than an hour so that is forgiven but I thought I would seek advice here. Doing a search on Avsim results in hundreds of topics, far too many to sift through. Some human recommendations are sought after and would be greatly appreciated. Not impressed so far …

Last Facebook update by CloudSurf Asia Simulations was last September and there has no updates since then-what’s up them at the moment? They were working on v2 of their Singapore WSSS, in the meantime I’ve switched to TaiModels WSSS due to the lack of progress updates from CloudSurf Asia Simulations and don’t seem to be responding to any emails sent to their email address at [email protected]. Also, any other dev doing a Manila RPLL for which CloudSurf did the only payware rendition?

'A small service update to start 2026. This update is aimed at addressing several crash and stability issues, but as a small bonus includes support for BeyondATC's ATIS, and an updated user guide. Avionics and Systems Fixed some crashes and improved stability Added support for BeyondATC ATIS in the ATSU → AOC → ATIS menu Fixed IVAO ATIS showing an empty page when only one ATIS line is provided by the controller Fixed IVAO ATIS SEND button not working unless DEPARTURE or ARRIVAL is selected first EFB Updated user guide'

Anyone know if there is a way to get the mafs2024 extral walk around mode to pan smoothly like in drone mode? It's always a bit choppy in walk-around mode but yet when I change to drone mode it's nice and smooth.

Just purchased and am trying out. Like many of you, I have multiple monitors and would like to open the options menu on a second screen but I cant seem to drag off my main screen. Is it possible?
