Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Give us your top 3! For me, best would be: 1) WU13 - although the micronesia parts aren't great, Hawaii and Indonesia really shine. I think East Java might be my new heaven. 2) SU14 - Atmosphere changes and a wicked SR22 update from WT, wow! 3) SWS putting their Vans on sale for a dollar each - I mean, obviously! And worst: 1) Clouds - still really disappointing compared to what we originally had, and very little improvement this year (not to mention lack of turbulence) 2) SU13 - underwhelming content delivered with a map zoom bug that made every session a frustration (frustration compounded by the fact they clearly had a fix pretty earl…

Hi, After getting some advice from Zendesk asking to locate the Context.xml file in C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache there no sign of this file and I've looked in all the sub-directories and still haven't found it, any help please appreciated as currently my sim is unflyable. Thank you JM

It seems that FSLTL makes my MSFS to crash in some areas/airports. E.g. FSLTL loads just fine at KLAS (FlyTampa) but crashes at KBFI (freeware). I have CTDs at some other areas too. I have not yet recognized any systematic that could cause it. Usually, I start MSFS, load a PMDG 737 at the airport before I start FSLTL. Shortly after some ai a/c have been injected the sim crashes. I have also AIG in my community folder, and FSLTL is using AIG liveries too. Any ideas what could be the reason, or suggestions to keep FSLTL working properly?

I was fortunate to pick up a handful of great scenery/airports last month. One of them, KJFK specifically recommended de-installing the base Osobo airport during install, so I did. Most of the others don't mention de-installation of the base/original airport, so I've just installed on top with (so far) good results. It was a little easier in FSX because the airports stuck out and didn't blend in as well as MSFS. Thanks for your input!

Hi guys, ive never had these issues before but now plagued by CTDs all the time... One lot of CTDs was the latest Nvidia graphics driver which i fixed by reverting to and older version... but this keeps happening...as below... sometimes 30 mins into a flight..other times 10 mins... All of my flights have been in VR...which usually causes zero issues...

Looking for feedback from any users who have and are using the Accuseason Advanced for plants and trees etc. Any Pros or Cons, is it set and forget or is it something you have to manually change every season?

I just bought the Cessna 207 from the MarketPlace. I can only find NAV Radio 1 and not 2. Is there only one NAV radio in this panel? Example the 172 has two. Thanks

Can the G1000 panels pop out? Looking to put them on their own screens and use Pop Pout Manager to do so. I wont buy the a/c if its not an option so I thank anyone who can give me an answer.

Hello all! Was pointed to this particular forum by Bob Scott, appreciate anyone taking a moment to read. I'm a Producer with a Burbank-based production company and we're filming a piece where our hosts "take a flight" without ever leaving our studio. As such we're looking to hire a sim pilot, preferably including bringing aspects of your home computer rig, to come to our studio and fly a route on-camera while accompanied by an IRL airline pilot/retired pilot (unless you happen to also be one yourself). Would be flying MSFS on an international route to be determined, as well as hopefully engaging with sim ATC. If this initial idea sounds interesting to anyone o…

Title is self-explanatory. This has helped a ton of people. Note: do NOT try getting into your WindowsApps folder (it’s locked for a reason), you can mess up your sim or the PC. The video shows the location of the file; some commenters had trouble finding it and there are various solutions. This is not clickbait, it has worked for a ton of people. Feel free to cross-post to the official forum, I’m not a member over there.

I have noticed a rather annoying number of "land bars" (for want of a better term) at coastal waterway locations. These are strips of land that cross inlets and harbours from one side to the other (effectively creating a dam of sorts), and they look ridiculous. I assume that Asobo have been informed about this issue? Secondly, I have also noticed a handful of airports (including payware) that have misaligned runway centreline markings. This one is something that annoys me a lot, since I cannot avoid seeing them if I want to use the airport. Anyone else have some classics that they would like to share?

I have been flying with A Pilots Life for a bit over 4 months. At this point I have almost 260 flights, using both the PMDG 737 and the Fenix A 320. These flights are using real airline schedules and so far I am flying with about 8 or more different airlines. I started with one star airlines and presently I am flying with a 5 star airline, United Airlines. I like to do routes that average around 2 hours or less, which APLife allows me to select from the various schedules. All flights, everyone, has been flawless. No problems with the sim, or both of the aircraft I have been flying. I use PF3 for ATC, so zero issues with ATC, and using Avliasoft EFB, selecting Sids and St…

There are so many add-ons and mods these days. But try this for a Great Sim: - Default King Air 350i, plus the Realism Mod and NXI Mod at .to website - install a custom livery if you want but be careful it doesn't change the panel config. Im using a default livery. - Also recommend FsRealistic with annoying stuff like First Person and Cockpit ambience turned Off Very smooth and controlled taxi, nice flight model and great landings.

P3D long time user but experimenting with MSFS. Is it possible to use multiple controllers in MSFS? I’d like to use my CH yoke for most functions but at the same use my Logitech stick for rudder control. Also, my keyboard for parking brakes (CTRL+.). I’ve looked around but haven’t found an answer to whether this is possible and, if so, how. Thanks.

For a while people were talking about the engine sounds changing, as if you are in a tube or tunnel. I've had this a few times lately and for the second time noticed the torque changes with this sound. I can be sitting at 115 on the torque, one notch below red line, 850 mode on and IS open. The sound will change and torque will drop immediately to around 100, and I think it even surpassed red line for this reason once. If I readjust the power lever the issue resolves. I have no spikes in my hardware and this is the only plane that this anomaly happens in. No other Black Square or any payware has sound or engine fluctuations. What is going on here? I posted that to th…

Anyone else having a problem with Google Map Enhancement mod, it tells me all of a sudden my version is to old, I updated to latest version, same thing.

All, I seem to have an issue with mesh grid patterns bleeding through the ground scenery, both pay ware and WT airports to varying degrees. I have Zinertec's airport enhancement package installed however I only seem to have noticed this in the last few weeks, could it be anything to do with the recent SU14? Does anyone have the same problem?? Regards

I've been flying this Air Mail route for a few days now, and it's been killing me to keep my lips zipped. Now I don't have to. 😁 https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/wip-arrows-across-america-flying-the-air-mail/515303

Having a look at the msfs traffic online over the UK just now (Europe West Server) and the ratio of airliners to other types was something like 25:1 with the majority of them being ryanair 737s or Easyjet A320/321 types. Not really a surprise but it got me thinking, I wonder if that actually comes close to real world ratio of types in the air over the UK at any given time?. I suspect that actually the ratio is more like 50:1 irl but who knows?, I guess looking on FR24 would give some idea but you'd have to make a guess at the number of GA types not Squawking. Sorry I know its just Idle curiosity but never thought about the comparison before. Edit: time of d…

Lost it. Where to find ? Dave Hinson Never Mind/ Found it🥶

I decided to try out the blacksquare tbm, and my initial first impression was not good, maybe I am doing something wrong as I am not very familiar with the tbm. The main issues were that the airplane wanted to bank aggressively to the left with the controls centered and aileron trim set to neutral at high power settings and at low power settings it wanted to roll aggressively to the right. It was impossible to get the airplane in trim even with full nose down trim the airplane wanted to pitch up aggressively at cruise speeds. The P factor seems very excessive as well, but its causing the airplane to roll rather than yaw. I also could not get the autopilot to hold alt…
