Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxfuwiN5SqD-b-CwCJhWjGmiejs5p-QfYY?si=EMb_w2xpToYVl_nx I wanted us to take some time to take a closer look at the MSFS 2024 hot air balloon demo MS/Asobo showed at last year's FSExpo during their keynote address. As some of you may know, I was thoroughly impressed by what they showed and assuming they were not saying or showing anything misleading, I think we're in for something truly special when it comes to flight physics in the new sim. Here are my takeaways: 1. Great collision detection. As Seb pointed out, the materials of the balloon do not clip into each other as it deflates. This is no small feat since the phys…

Is the remote MCDU for the Fenix only for captain’s side or is there a way to switch also to the First Officer MCDU?

I cannot stop the DHC2 Beaver Amphibian from creeping forward even at minimum throttle and prop pitch set to fully 'fine' ie lever pushed all the way forward. I use the 'tablet' to 'set' the anchor on however as soon as the engine starts the anchor automatically comes off. I have watched a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abAMi_68TD8&t=713s&ab_channel=SprocketSimulations) which shows the Beaver sitting still at the dock even with the engine idling so there must be a method but I cannot find it. Can anyone tell me how to stop the DHC2 from creeping forward? Thanks

Finally ! It’s not an oficial feature but works very nice. It’s an easy to use and powerful app, With this app you can not only interact with the MCDU in a browser but also view many other displays (PFD, ND, UPPER_ECAM, LOWER_ECAM, SIS, Quartz displays) - all in real-time. You can easily control and view your aircraft's instruments from any of your devices on your home network, simply scanning the QR code in the app. https://flightsim.to/file/53052/remote-mcdu-for-the-fenix-a320 Courtesy by KisbAlt and remember if you like to support his effort, you can use Buy me a coffe button.

See new research below - hopefully there will be no more threads like this! (Irony of this one fully accepted!) Some people ‘see more per second’ than others, scientists find New research suggests some individuals have an innate advantage over others in high-speed situations such as ball gamesFumbling a catch or mis-hitting a ball in tennis may be more likely for certain people, scientists say after discovering huge differences in the speed humans view moving images.Trinity College Dublin conducted experiments to show that the speed of visual perception varies widely, meaning some people can “see” more information every second than others. Scientists used a “f…

Comm radios (upper righthand side). Is the Active Frequency on the left or right side?

https://videocardz.com/driver/nvidia-geforce-game-ready-552-12 I've not tried it yet and don't see anything in the release notes that might be of benefit for most of us, so just a heads up to say it has been released.

From the post by Martyn from JustFlight on Reddit:

This apparently affects simconnect and aircraft like the Fenix and PMDG 737 and others. They are working on a fix for this now. https://forum.simflight.com/topic/98295-new-fsuipc-update-kills-simconnect/

For reasons unknown, payware aircraft have disappeared from the MSFS selection list. I had A2A Comanche, MV/BB C310 and the FSW C414. Checking Community folder individual aircraft folders, A2A Comanche and MV/BB C310 indicate 0 files and zero bytes. There was a Win10 update but that was about two weeks ago and this apparently happened today. The FSW C414 is the sole survivor but it is mostly locked up and mouse clicks don't work. I have since deleted Bitdefender Antivirus. It looks like I will have to reload everything. How does this happen? Any advice is much appreciated.

Hi, I can't find a solution to this but at least I know the problem now. Issue: Default 747. Can assign free axis to spoiler but it jumps around and cannot be set in one position or armed/deployed even with mouse control and all assignments deleted. Found cause. Spoilers in default 747 are HARD CODED to ONLY deploy at the same time as reversers. You can use your controller axis or keyboard (default key F2) and they WILL deploy EVENTUALLY when reversers kick in. This is a BUG (dual assignment issue) because the sim lets you assign an axis to spoiler axis but it will NEVER work as again they hard coded to reversers. Fully tested this and this applies i…

Hello, This is an automated message from Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums to let you know that your post was removed. Your post was flagged for moderator attention: the community feels something about the post requires manual intervention by a staff member. This post was flagged by the community and a staff member opted to remove it. My comment, is it that bad or is it the children can't handle the truth?????? VR is good for military type training since they wear headgear already, VR is not used in Airliner training because it is not superior to a full flight deck with wrap around screens. Hence why the airline industry doesn’t use VR…

This will be superb. As good as A2A standard if not better. I am really impressed.

Help please! A few days ago I found that I could no longer launch the sim. I bought my PC less than two years ago with MSFS installed (they sold me the discs they used and it's all in my name). A few months ago I purchased the premium version within the FS (online download) without a problem. I have never used the DVDs until now. I'll try to summarise. After trying a few times I concluded that I was going to have to reinstall the whole thing (sinking feeling). I had been reading lots of posts and uninstalled the programme. I had renamed my Communities folder and deleted the folder which had contained it - the one in users\....\Packages\Microsoftflightsimulator…

Anyone tried this yet? simMarket: REPUBLIC P47D THUNDERBOLT MSFS

What is the deal with the PMDG 737 parking brake????? It will not release. I swear pmdg guys are secret Apple people that take the most mundane ACTION and turn it into landing a man on MARS. IT WILL NOT RELEASE. and this is their ridiculous panel state? April fools joke? Yes holding rudder pedals brakes on.......Another dumb code idea.

I see alot of players in the option, "All players" in mfs multiplayer. But if i change to "Live players" its hard to find anyone. I wonder why, because in all players its just a mess of aircrafts everywhere, none is trying to follow any rules and are just spawning on the runways and flying low over airport etc.

Was flying through MSFS non-photogrammetry NY, and was kind of annoyed at the lack of different textures. I wondered if there was anything better, and found these guys. So..... Not exactly sure its better, but it seems it may be a bit less uniform than Blackshark..... Dreams. It apparently works with Bing maps, and there is a free model of New York to play with for those with the skills/knowledge (Which is not me!)

I was on the ground at KATL, planning my flight to KDFW. I had entered the STAR BEREE2 at KDFW, and attempted to delete one stray waypoint from the SID. I know some FMCs will not let you delete waypoints from SID/STARs but my understanding is that the A300's will. Anyway, I deleted the waypoint and BAAAM! The MCDU went dark like this and was unrecoverable. (The other MCDU stayed lit but was then unresponsive). Anyone else seen this in the A300? https://i.postimg.cc/7ZFjbDnj/yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.png (Direct links seem to have stopped working again?)

hi, i know this has been an issue is there for a fix for this yet ?

Hi red lights at night NW of palm spring KPSP Flying into KPSP at night last night. A punch of red lights in one section. Does anybody know if they are real and what they are or just a MSFS anomaly Thanks

Looks like Microsoft has kicked off its Spring Sale!

How come clicking on an airfield in the map only rarely brings up the details (runway length, surface etc)? I'm sure it has always seemed random though these days it seems increasingly unusual to get anything showing up.

Hello friends, please need your advise. Trying to update to SU15 Beta but i get An Error Code and not possible to update. Error Code Ox87e00196 Please Help
