Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Had small break from the flight sim - what is general consensus regarding the FBW A32X vs iniBuilds A32X? Which one offers more "immersive" experience right now in terms of system depth, textures, sounds, integrations - etc. - overall experience? Thank you

“Flying over, or driving by on Interstate 8, you might miss tiny Jacumba. But hundreds of soaring enthusiasts know the airport and some even know where the town is. However, few people know what Jacumba is all about. On weekends you’ll find sail planes being towed aloft to catch the thermals, with pilots who savor the solitude and challenge of powerless flight. During the week the airport is quiet, inhabited by hawks and their prey.” Source: County of San Diego Free to download for PC: https://flightsim.to/file/66976/jacumba-airport-l78 Features Terraforming to level and match elevation + relief of the area Add the Solar farm and the Powerplant …

Captains, May the Fourth be with you... https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/293866-may-the-fourth-be-with-you-2024-ah-the-cone-of-silence-but-we-are-nearly-through-it tl;dr Latest silence means they're close to the release date, working on small bugs and the new nav database for RF legs, also preparing the 777F for initial testing. Can't keep the original two months promise but they're close to choosing a release date. There will still be two weeks notice before release. The 777 release is not aiming to have "to be added later" features compared to the 737 to ease pressure…

At least one presenter on Youtube sometimes flies with a pilot image that was made to look exactly like herself (AvAngel). Is there a service somewhere that does images from photographs? Like yourself or like famous persons' online image?

I know PMDG stated that that it’s not but I seem to not trust their response anymore. Every time SU15 gets pushback so does 777 even though Robert was super confident on his Q&A about 2 weeks to 2 months release date. PMDG seems to be going downhill with their hypes.

I have just started up MSFS and it seems there could have been an automatic update which I was not prompted for. The startup forced me through all 'assists' settings etc and then I find I have also lost my camera setups/positions I had created for some of the aircraft. Is it 'normal' for this to happen? VERY annoying! If so how can I backup all those settings especially cockpit camera positions?

Hello, not sure where else to ask this favor of someone but here it is. Since building the new system I have no idea why CapFrameX frame time variance (FTV) analyses have gone into the toilet, and I have no explanation. My old 9900k/3080Ti delivered fabulous FTV, but since the new build that's gone out the window! If you have the hardware I would ask you to... You will need RTSS, and would need to NOT use frame generation for this test, and would leave all syncs and frame rate locks in sim or in NVCP off, and instead use RTSS' 'edge sync, front of back' along w/ its Passive Waiting, both of which are found on RTSS' settings tab. This we learned 18 months ago deli…

Enjoy!

Thought I'd post here as I don't seem to be able to post on the Fenix Discord server. When first loading up, and prior to selecting the READT TO FLY button the aircraft just floats with no visible landing gear. Does anyone have any idea as to why this might be? It's fine when ready to go on the gate. It's certainly not a biggy, or worth a support ticket request. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and managed to fix it.

Don 't follow the discussion here daily, so my not have the latest. When do we think 2024 is really going to be released?

Dear JustFlight, I promise to only use SU15 beta until the final version rolls out. I also swear to not raise a sink if I encounter any issues with the B60. Affectionately, Frank So, can I have access to the Dukes now? Seeing all the content providers happily flying around in the Dukes is starting to wear me out 😛

I am trying to learn how to use the G1000 in the Beechcraft Bonanza and followed a Youtube tutorial. I enter my flight plan using the MSFS initial screen (World Map) entering my departure and arrival airports and also select IFR Low altitude airways and the flight plan is drawn between the two airports. I then start the flight and the MFD does not display in magenta the flight plan. I select the fight plan page in the PFD and I can see all the waypoints displayed. What do I need to do to see the (magenta) flight plan on the map? Thanks

MSFS has Xbox, ships and boats (GAIST and Seafront), Dune, and Top Gun. So how come no trains?? Might as well integrate or expand and have fun, fun, fun!

In my OPINION, more of the same things is like looking at a kaleidoscope. Kaleidoscope Visual Meditation Music, Kaleidoscope Mind Movie, Visual Relaxation (youtube.com) Sure... they'…

The sidestick in the TCA Captain Pack Airbus Edition has a number of buttons. I know these buttons can be mapped to different functions in the MSFS Control Options. My question is regarding introducing and assigning custom functions to these buttons. For example, out-of-the-box the button that is assigned to function CAMERA | COCKPIT CAMERA | PREVIOUS PILOT POSITION is JOYSTICK POV DOWN. What I would like to happen is when I hit JOYSTICK POV DOWN for the view to change to look down instead of going to the previous pilot position. The key strokes for this are SHIFT + DOWN ARROW. Can this be done ? Some direction on how will be appreciated.

Here's a review of the early access Beyond ATC. My real world background is that I am a current air traffic controller (with tower, terminal and enroute radar credentials) and I also hold a USA private pilot license. I do not have an instrument rating but I have a lot of experience flying IFR and in IMC. Also of note I wasn't really aware of how to use SimBrief so I had to ask for help on BATC discord. (They were quick to respond!) ***Download and Install*** Download and install of BATC was simple, the purchase was simple via online with a credit card. Since I've really never used simbrief I had to re-login to that site, but since I am a Navigraph user,…

Hello! Lately I have done several flights with FSLTL + AIGround and AIFlow and I am delighted. I use the AIG libraries, and practically all flights that exist in reality arrive at the airport I am at or going to. I have a problem, only at GCTS and GCLP airport, the planes land on the taxiway parallel to the runway on which they must land. For a moment I thought it was AFCAD, but by not using AIGround and AIFlow (forcendlanding), the planes did fine. Does anyone know why this happens? I have changed a thousand parameters but there are no improvements. And it is strange, because in the rest of the regional airports, using forcedlanding in aiflow and airgro…

Although I've been flight simming since fs2000, I'm a fairly recent convert (from P3D) to MSFS2020. SU15 will be my first sim update. I purchased MSFS2020 via Steam and have some items in my community folder. What (if anything) do I need to do in advance of SU15? There's a ton of opinions out there on the web regarding this, but I'm looking for a consensus from those on avsim who purchased via Steam.

Using the WT 787-X on takeoff I find I need to add a lot of nose down trim to maintain the VNAV course (the nose keeps wanting to raise). Is this normal and realistic? All weights, CG and TO trim are correctly set (using simbrief and imported into the aircraft using the weights and fuel settings page).

Hey All I'm trying to set up MSFS2020 and assign keys. I'd like to use the touchpad/cursor to look around the cabin but cannot work out how, so I'm stuck with preset keys which just aren't as realistic. Hope someone can help! :)

Hello, I have been having a problem where most of the time the game will crash to desktop without wan error message. I can get lucky, and sometimes the game will work, but most of the time it won't. I have tried disabling all of my mods as well as doing a complete re-installation of the game with not luck. I was able to get some info from windows event viewer about the crash and will post it below. Also, I have made sure windows is up-to-date along with my video card Faulting application name: FlightSimulator.exe, version: 1.36.2.0, time stamp: 0x65a6e79d Faulting module name: d3d11.dll, version: 10.0.19041.3636, time stamp: 0x70aaae07 Exception code: 0xc0000005 …
