Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

And another good one! CYWG Winnipeg International Airport MSFS by FSimStudios | Contrail Shop

I know it has been out for awhile. But I just recently got it while awaiting other things in the world.. What is your thoughts on it? Ive flown it a few times and its almost captain sim material for me.. Things dont work, glitchy, etc. Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing, but I dont have any issuses with PMDG, Fenix, A2A.. Am I just expecting too much? The "nav" frequently screws up.. It seems the power settings are not realistic.. Theres just a lot of issues. I have had horrible experience in the past with other aerosoft aircraft.. This one is better, but not by much.

If interested, you can find it at https://pmdg.com/documentation/ If you look closely at the PMDG forum site, you can find a subsection dedicated to the tablet https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/pmdg-tablet Good news.

Hi, I have just installed FSTLTL via the FBW installer and upon loading into the sim and starting the injector, no aircraft are being injected. I have all AI traffic off in MSFS settings and so I cannot see any traffic at all. I have checked the log file but no obvious errors and it does actually show what I assume is traffic loading, but the injector doesn't show anything loading. Here is all I'm seeing in the injector: 15:38:04 FSLTL Traffic Injector v1.6.3 15:38:04 Before contacting support ---> 15:38:04 Read the user guide: https://www.fslivetrafficliveries.com/user-guide/ 15:38:04 Read the FAQ: https://www.fslivetrafficliveries.com/support-…

No connection now.. anyone else?

Hello, during the loading time of a flight there are messages displayed on the bottom of the screen with info about the chosen aircraft. Is there a way to change the text of these messages ? Where can I find these files ? Regards. Eddy.

Last but certainly not least, we are very excited to announce that Famous Flyer 07: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries MU-2 will be launching next week! We can’t wait to get this highly-anticipated plane from developer iniBuilds into your hands! For a sneak peak, check out a screenshot of this beautiful aircraft flying near Mount Fuji below.

If I pause while flying the TBM930 by pushing the ESC key, when I return the engine shuts down. Is this just me? Is there another way to pause? I'm not running any TBM mods. Any suggestions?

Introducing the Super King Air B200 "Blackhawk Super XP52" Edition... I had this plane for FSX back in the day with the G1000 and thought it was the cat's meow. Anyone aware of anything like this coming out for MSFS? Avionics in the MSFS King Air 350 well cough meh

https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/266647-07oct23-calm-before-the-storm-perhaps Captains, Happy Saturday, Everyone! The Old Timers™ around the PMDG forum have likely taken note of the fact that we have gone quiet of late- and that usually portends good news. Our silence in September was a mix of being head-down, but also of catching the last few days of summer for a few key members of the team- but everyone is now back at in the work cycle and things are beginning to get exciting. We have been exceedingly busy of late- and all of it speaks toward an increasingly busy update and release cycle. I have been …

I just got a new Bravo Throttle Quad because my previous one had a throttle slippage problem that was maddening. I plugged in a brand new Bravo that I bought and they aren't cheap. I went to my fav airplane at the moment, Black Square King Air. The left start switch, using the mouse, will not go up into the start position. It will move from the middle position down to off, but not up to start. What a strange glitch, what could cause this? Any suggestions?

I thought the EFB was supposed to be enabled in the 787 with SU13? Mine looks just as unpowered as ever. No updates showing in Content Manager, default livery, no 787 mods installed, etc. The Simbrief option is there now in the MCDU, but the EFB panels just have no power and the buttons that seem like they are enabled have no effect either.

I am currently using the standard version of msfs - steam version. The upgrade is available on steam but my question is: Do I have to uninstall my current version and then install the new version OR will the new version just load over and add to the current standard version?

Hi ! I want to configure the right rotary button of my honeycomb Bravo to select altitude (altitude selector) in the A320 fenix. It works perfectly with the 737 PMDG and the ATR, but I didn't find how to do that in the fenix. An idea ? Thanks for your help

I’m curious for thoughts on whether it’s a reasonable expectation that the issue of extremely high VRAM usage can be fixed in a flight sim like MSFS? I’ve experienced the stuttering causes by running out of VRAM at a lot of payware airports with a high detail airliner. This is with a 4080 w/16gb of VRAM. Out of curiosity I’ve started watching VRAM usage in other games and nothing else so far comes remotely close to exhausting my VRAM. I remember when P3Dv5 went DX12 a lot of us started running out of VRAM. At least MSFS just gets stuttery instead of crashing! I’m not sure if X-Plane has similar VRAM usage issues. It all leads me to wonder: given fli…

Finally, the beautiful amphibian Pilatus DOES STEER ON WATER! Thanks to a brilliant mod by the great FD modder MGouge: https://it.flightsim.to/file/61628/microsoft-pilatus-pc-6-realism-mod BTW, MGouge has made mods for almost all default aircraft and all of them are accurate and effectively improve their handling. And of course all of them are FREE ;)

Hi, I had to rebuild my PC after the Xbox app lost its mind and would no longer launch games, this seems to have locked me out of my fenix a320 as signing into the app never completes. How do I get hold of Fenix to get it reset? I don’t use discord? Thanks in advance for any help!

In short: It's fine. On my ancient PC (8700K, 1080TI) with Render Display on Intel Graphics 630 and Display Quality to Performance I made just a quick comparison. Nothing scientific, just for a first assessment. To avoid discussions about what framerate is acceptable I give just percentages with the FBW being 100. FBW A320: 100% FNX A320: 115% AS CRJ: 120% Default C172: 130% And let me add that - other than the FBW - the Fenix is perfectly smooth, no stutters.

The latest iteration of the superb WTcj4 has a currently inactive HUD installation. Does anyone know if this will be activated, and if so, when? Thanks

I thought I had heard release was close or imminent a couple of months ago but looking around I didn't see any updates...wonder if anyone else has heard news on this project?

Well it could be a mindset towards sales but it is actually not . What can we expect here ? Its still my first choice in MSFS/P3D but it do take a hit on performance. Still on a i7-4770K at 4K High settings at 25HZ/FPS Vsync. Its still the best airliner in my opinion and deserves alot more credit here. What do you think ? Michael Moe

What does the Horizon B787 do (better) than the newest updated B787 from Asobo? I expect that being a payware aircraft the Horizon B787 must have some "extra" features that the Asobo model doesn't have? Please enlighten me.

Hi, has anybody noticed with DirectX 12 weird shadows that happen when panning around and moving around in the sim? It's like the shadows from the mountains or anything dark basically gets a bit larger with movement. Kind of hard to explain.

Dear All, The recent announcement by Horizon Simulations in MSAddons.co concerning their upcoming 747-8F mod for Microsoft Flight Simulator seems to have slipped under the radar. As someone who flies for virtual cargo airlines, this is great news and I hope that it will come soon. Best regards, Peter
