Every monitor I seem to find has either HDMI or USB connections. Looking for a small monitor (maybe 15") with a 1.4a DisplayPort. Any suggestions where to look?

Suddenly, no AI aircraft are injected in MSFS2024. I tried with AIG Traffic Controller, FSLTL Injector, FSHud and BATC. None of these options will insert AI aircraft. I have "Aircraft Traffic Quantity" and "Parked Aircraft Quantity" set to OFF. If I change these two to "Ultra", then I get all sorts of Asobo AI - even with "Aircraft Traffic Type" set to OFF. Also, AIG Traffic Controller loads and then I cannot bring up it's window anymore. Never happened before... Has something changed, maybe with SU3? I have been away from MSFS for a while... Also, ASFS will not inject weather, I get the yellow triangle with weather control script error. Also, no ASFS ico…

I’ve been almost exclusively on XP12 for the last six months, but since the Black Square Baron/Bonanza and the A2A Aerostar releases I’ve been spending a lot more time in MSFS 2024. Overall 2024 looks great, but I’m seeing a really odd “mist/fog” effect in front of the aircraft when taxi or landing lights are on. It’s very distracting. Switching the lights on makes it look like visibility suddenly drops, instead of just illuminating the ground ahead like in XP12. Is there a setting (or known fix) to reduce or disable this effect?

This is a question I've long had and researched to no avail, so am now asking here in the hopes of an answer (or at least, the one I'm looking for). I've been flight simming for over 25 years, but always remained a relatively casual simmer. I was part of the public beta for MSFS 2020 and played it nonstop since release. I preordered MSFS 2024 as soon as it was possible to do so, but like many here, was let down by the state of its release and held off on migrating fully. Now with some time having passed since SU4 and the major performance issues ironed out, I'm more inclined to do so, but there are a couple things still holding me off, and the main one is the flig…

Hi folks. Let me start by saying my rig is in my signature. And all of my flying has been with the Beachcraft Bonanza G36. In Pimax Play, I am using 90hz, render resolution of 1.0, and half frame rate is on. In the sim I am using foveated rendering and DLSS Quality. I am not using the toolkit. I recently got a new Crystal Light. I have been watching videos and experimenting and I am finally starting to get very good VR visuals on my system. But I am observing two things that I really need guidance to figure out whether they are something I don't have proper settings to get rid of or whether other people have the same problems. 1. No matter what I do, from the ta…

I'm only using some few default a/c like c172, c208 and tbm930. So I wanted to disable all the other, but it appears that some of them are system relevant. When I left only those three a/c active, the sim start-up was messed up and did not arrive in the start menu. Off course, I had made a backup copy oft the content.xml which brought it back to normal starting behavior. Is anything known about which a/c can be safely disabled? Or must I wait until MS decides to give us the option to see only "favored" a/c in the hangar eventually?

I posted this subject some weeks ago and received suggestions ranging from it will go away after a few MSFS startups to it will disappear after the next MSFS2020 upgrade. Well both have now happened. There was an update in the last 24 hours and I must have started MSFS 50 times (I am developing some scenery) since then . Everytime I start a flight the XBox controller displays while the flight loads. I know that this is just nuisance value but it never used to happen since I purchased MSFS2020. Now I am wondering could something have been triggered by the fact that I ran MSFS2020 from the XBox app just before this started to happen. I usually start it f…

It seems like Microsoft/Adobe could develope AI to remove the ugly photogramic palm trees is southern California and other places and replace them with decent looking palm trees. Do you think this would be within the realm of possibility?

MSFS 2024 does not use a "turbulence" slider or any direct way of setting a given turbulence intensity when using preset / custom / manual weather in it's weather interface, but that doesn't mean ASOBO forgot it... Instead the developers decided to tie turbulence to realistic sources, just like IRL. Of course it isn't perfect, and the way some of those sources work out the turbulence surely needs further attention from the dev team, but there are already some interesting effects and the following is a summary, by Copilot, of how to create situations for diffent types of turbulence: Let’s turn MSFS 2024 into your own turbulence laboratory. You’ll get three advanc…

I am not using MSFS 2020 at all. I am all in on MSFS 2024. If you are in the same situation, did you delete MSFS 2020? Will I regret deleting it? Do I need this legacy simulator on my system for nostalgic revists in the future?? What did you do? How much space did you free up on your HD?

Many of you who have years of experience with coding add-on scenery for FSX and MSFS may already know this, but some of you might not - especially if you have been struggling with intermittent problems coding ILS's and VOR's. This is embarrassing to admit, because I ran FSX for at least 15 years, and now FS2020 and FS2024 since 2020: I didn't know that the frequency band for VOR and ILS radio navaids was split up into specific pairs of frequencies. In other words, if you are coding an ILS, you can't just throw in any frequency between 108.10 and 111.95 mHz - there are 40 specific frequencies available, and they aren't contiguous. If you tell the MSFS SDK to use, say, 111.…

Hi. I bought this via marketplace(steam) and it was placed in the folder C:\Users\thhpa\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Packages\Official2020\Steam. Where should I put the Wideroe livery from Fs.to? I've tried both the community and steam folders with no results. Thor H

Not had time for much simming over Christmas but flew over NY earlier with Samscene NY City Times installed and found I had tow Brooklyn Bridges. I've been using Samscene for ages and never had this before. Has something changed in MSFS? Could someone try flyig over NY let me know if they have the same issue or whether it's just me? If it's just me, I'm not sure what to do. I've not added any recent scenery and changed nothing other that adding a new controller over the holiday period. The version of Samscene I have is v1.5.1 I stopped using RK Bridgers scenery a long time ago.

Hello is there a way to disable the Microsoft Space Needle alone or would I have to disable the whole City Update. This seems to be the only conflict with Drzewiecki's Seattle scenery.

I was practicing RNAV approaches today in the C172 using TDS GTNXi and the Bendix King auto pilot. I activated the approach in the GTNXi and changed the Bendix from Nav to APR. When i activated the approach the C172 turned towards the approach waypoint, but the 3rd approach waypoint had a lower altitude and the AP in the Bendix never adjusted the altitude lower. I did that manually via the Bendix. GS armed appeared on the Bendix and as i got closer to the runway “GS” was now on the top part of the Bendix display. And then the C172 started to descend while perfectly lined up with the runway. My question is, why didn’t the altitude drop automatically when the approach…

I hate to say this again (trying to stay friendly here), but every week or two I run into login issues. Today, once more, MSFS 2024 asked me to continue with my Microsoft account. I confirmed, started the sim via the Xbox app, and was rewarded with several “file cannot be saved – error 2000” messages. When it finally decided to load, it acted as if I had just installed MSFS 2024 for the very first time on this PC. What a mess.

I'm usually a silent reader on these forums because I'm still learning complicated jets. I'm not sure how to insert images but the title says it all. Occasionally when I load the PMDG 737-800 (and 600) into the sim the nosewheel is buried into the ground and the tail is in the air. Tonight things got worse at default KFJK (Stand C12) because as time passed the front end continued to sink until the cockpit was eventually subterranean. to add to this on the rare occasion when I commence pushback the nosewheel lifts into the air and the tail strikes the ground. My weights and balances are within normal ranges. Park brakes are always on or off as required. I would love a so…
