Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Noteable final quotes from Aamir at end (some paraphrased): "We have an objective, to build this into the best A320 simulation out there... We really wanted to give the upcoming A319 and A321 the best base possible... A year long to develop this, it's been tough, this is also an investment for the 319/321 ... as much as we are a business, we can afford to make this update free, from our perspective throughout 2023 we re-invested pretty much every penny we made in sales into this work, so not much profits out of 2023" The various areas of improvements below, including a bunch of new stuff not announced in their written intro to V2 from last year: https://fenixsim.com/bl…

The Fenix A320 has all sorts of dings for various ECAM messages but I don't hear anything when the target altitude is reached during a climb or descent. Does such an aural notification exist ? Seems like an important one.

Starting at a gate at Bmworld/Amsim KPHX (Version 1.5.0) with the PMDG 737, FS Traffic, and GSX I initially get pretty good FPS. But after about 10 minutes or so my FPS always drops into the teens. I tried lowering graphic settings and I also increased the DistanceToNotAnimate to 200000 from the default value of 2000 but neither of these helped. This severe FPS drop happens every time I start a flight at KPHX. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, have you figured out a way to fix it? Thanks.

There were some items in the ATC area that were improved in the last update, but now there are so many more things going wrong that it's almost unusable. These have been consistent faults in the last 5 flights: Loss of communication through COM1 immediately after ATIS playback - COM1 receives no audio for the remainder of the flight. Attempts to file the flight plan results in a new voice immediately repeating the ATIS announcement I've already received while blocking out the flight plan approval I now have to switch to COM2 or I hear no ATC responses (they are visible in the ATC window but no longer audible through COM1) Multiple times in a fligh…

I noticed since the beta was released it seems like things are snapping & popping better on my end. Did Asobo/Microsoft pump up data that is being pushed through the matrix or am I getting the infamous placebo effect? Happy Landings

As title says. Good news for all of Xbox users. Jean-Jacques

I seem to have trouble with the pressurization in this plane. I don't have issues in the King Air or ever in previous planes in MSFS that were modeled well. So for example, I performed a flight up to 12,000 with a takeoff field elevation of 3800. I did the test, as per checklist, and did have a negative drop. I re-engage the seal and pressurization switches with an altitude dialed into the inner ring of about 12,500. On climb out the needles don't seem to move much, then at some point the PSI climbs up to exceed differential and I have to raise the inner altitude setting to about 15,000. What could I be doing wrong?

Hello 🙂 Anyone had success using the vnav button on the tbm ? Though it should be operational by now ? when reaching my cruise altitude I set up the alt of the first point of my approach, enable vnav in gtc but nothing happen when pushing the vnav on the autopilot, i should normally see the led light up and it should start descending when reaching TOD, but it is not. any idea ? Thanks

Hi, Can anybody explain how the payload works in neofly ? Tried to do a flight with the tbm930, only have a quarter of the fuel and i can only take a mission to transport 1 pax (and luggage i guess cause it requiered 452lb ) Shouldnt i be able to transport more good or pax with more fuel ? Thanks

About time a dev has finally released a good KMIA. The LVFR one can be retired. https://store.inibuilds.com/products/bmworld-amsim-miami-kmia-msfs

Hello, I hadn't used to Fenix 320 for a while and now i have strange pink and purple rectangulars in the cockpit windows. Can't see outside the airplane. Any idea?. Many thanks.

Can you please give me a list of the hand-crafted airports in WU 16 Caribbean ? (I think there were 6 of them, but could be mistaken).

Hi, Starting the simulation involves many operations, it can become tedious, this is the case for me: - Starting PCs, - Conditional start of apps, - Various settings, ... I have fully automated all of this, I start the simulation by lowering a simple switch on the glareshield, and can follow the progress of the sequences on the screen of one of the PCs, placed in the cockpit and which I use to display Littelnavmap . But there is a problem, MSFS, whose interface does not respect Microsoft standards, and whose automation is really touchy: it involves automating the various clicks which allow you to arrive at the plane ready to fly. It is therefore necessary to reco…

Anyone checked out the Live Surface Movement Beta on FlightAware? Wonder if that data could be used for planes taxing in MSFS? I am an average computer user so I figured I would bring it up here and see what some of the Einstein's in the computer world would think of this. Happy Landings

Hello, Has anyone recently bought the IniBuilds A300R6 thru the Marketplace?? Also What are some the Pros and Cons buying it from the Marketplace?? thanx for any info... appreciated very much....

The leg in purple - Is that suppose to be the first leg or the last (landing) leg ?

How do I interpret the visibility in the METAR correctly? Let's say the METAR reports 9000 meters, I was under the assumption, that I could see 9km in either direction. I had to go around at the minimums a few times lately. Whenever the METAR is not 9999, the fog appears quite dense. I made a habit of checking the perceived visibility when it is not 9999 and came to the assumption, that MSFS interprets the visibility as the diameter instead of the radius. In other words, the visibility is halved. This screenshot was taken at GCTS this morning, the runway is 3.2km long for reference. The visibility here looks much closer to 4.5km instead of 9km to me. Does anyone…

Evening all. As I only fly VFR using tube liners there is a lot of content in the manager which really i will never use. Bush Trips, Training Aids and similar. Can someone please advise as to what can be deleted from the Content Manager without affecting the core product. Many thanks.

This question is regarding manipulating the (4) A/P controls- SPD, HDG, ALT and VS. Is it possible to assign keystrokes in MSFS so that PUSH, PULL and PRESS for each control can actuated externally, i.e., without using the mouse ?

In a flight KDTW-KJAX, the temperature on the ground at KDTW was -1o. I received ECAM msg "FUEL L INNER TK LO TEMP". I did not know how to address this message so I departed anyway. During the climb to FL360, I received similar messages for the other (3) tanks (the center tank was empty). When the messages appeared, TAT was -21o and SAT was -48o. I have seen a posting from EMI that in low fuel temperature situations to either fly faster or lower but then I cannot explain the message I received while still on the ground. Are these messages correct ? What's the corrective action on the ground or in the air or do we just ignore them ?

After I installed this latest 'movie update', FG makes my FPSs go to single digits. Uninstalling it didn't help. Reinstalling the sim didn't help. The only thing that helps is removing the two files (universal version) or deactivating the registry change in the other version, I tried both of them. Funny thing, nobody mentions this. Am I the only one!? But what went wrong? What was changed with this update? My FPSs before were around 60 with short dips to high 50s.. Now, it's around low 40s and I don't complain for I have 2060S, but still... What else can I try?

I fly a lot out of smaller GA fields with no scheduled service. For example, KSEE and KMYF in San Diego county. How to I prevent the Hertz bus and giant ARFF engines and Hoist catering trucks from appearing? I still want to see ICE, airport service vehicles, or other small trucks - just not the big ones servicing scheduled airliners.

Stuff that I have noticed in my flights to date.... Sometimes I do not get any audio for the 80 knots/v1/rotate/v2 part of a departure in my PMDG 737-600. The audio only starts with "positive rate of climb". Maintenance in the PMDG 737-600 appears to be a bit of a gimmick. I only have to click on the maintenance issues to resolve them. Seems a bit pointless, and not really based on how I am taking care of the plane. My PMDG 737-600 seems to be moved a bit too easily by a very light breeze (<2m/s). I may be incorrect here, so feel free to crucify me Sometimes I do not see a READY TO FLY button after loading a saved scenario (or the information tex…

I think this topic deserves its own thread, even though it's a part of the Twitch Q&A today. But this is huge! Working Title is improving the G3X for MSFS! You can watch more on the live stream VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2049204189?t=01h12m49s Once again, MSFS avionics is getting more and more advanced! Great job Working Title!
