Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Hi All. Wonder if anyone could advise me on a very surprising incident that happened on me in the Daher TBM900 please? It's totally confounded me. While climbing out of FL120 a warning appeared on the screen telling me to deploy oxygen mask !! The Oxygen switch was already on and as another caution I switched the deploy oxygen mask switch to ON. The oxygen mask isn't in fact modeled from what I can tell as it did not have a click spot to activate. Shortly after this though, the aircraft stalled even though all systems, speed and profile were as expected as far as I know. The stall was unrecoverable and ended up with passengers throwing up until dead in the sea 🤢🤮…

SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2023 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE Posted by: Microsoft Flight Simulator Team This week’s Screenshot Challenge winner is Forum user JohnStarp, featuring a Boeing 787. If you’re interested in participating in our weekly Screenshot Challenges, check out the details in the Community section below! The National Championship Air Races in Reno, Nevada have begun! Some of the members of the Microsoft Flight Simulator Community Team are attending with a booth set up where you can fly the Reno Air Races yourself with hardware provided by Thrustmaster, Next Level Racing, and MSI Gaming. If you’re at the Air Races, come say hi! For the occasion we are…

They have some bundles on sale right now. One is ships only, two others include the Osprey. Not a bad deal if you know you'll be using it all more than once. Verified on their own site (just purchased today). No idea if Orbx has them marked down too. EDIT: Orbx doesn't have them bundled but prices seem to be within just a few bucks. Worth noting that if you buy directly from Miltech you have to install and use the Contrail app for these.

Yesterday, on a quick test flight with my newly installed LG Ultragear monitor, I decided to take a quick flight from Bristol down to Exeter in the UK, only 15 minutes. This was mainly to assess Gsync and the higher refresh rates that I had not previously experienced, which incidentally, makes a huge difference! Take off worked fine and the flight down to Exeter went without any problem, then I got that ridiculous 'connection lost' error message, then it was replaced with, 'connection restored.' This has peed me off big time, as I have now paid for a VPN, wrongly assuming that the issue lay at the feet of my ISP using throttling tactics on my connection, this is clearly n…

When I load the Citation CJ4 (vanilla, no mods), all of the glass panels are white. The only thing that works is the standby attitude indicator. Is anyone else getting this?

Hi, I recently bought the pmdg 737-800 and I worked without any glitch until today. The same thing happened to me with the 737-900: When I taxiing(on VATSIM) I reached a holding short point, and I stopped, but when I wanted to resume taxiing, the plane just wouldn’t start. Parking brake off, auto brake off. The only way the plane would move was if I moved the throttles to maximum, but still , the plane moved incredibly slow. As I said, the same thing happened with the pmdg 737-900, so do you have any idea how can I fix this?

I do ;ile I do frequently, click the icon to launch MSFS. ... and this morning it loads the Microsoft Store window with Gaming Services open and no apparent rhyme or reason or clue or hint of why and what next. ?

Is it only to enable/disable multiplayer traffic? I always thought it had to do w/ which cloud server the entire sim was connected to but when I looked at its fine print seems it's only about multiplayer.

Hi guys, Am thinking to jump in to a helo for some low flying for a change... Ive done some looking but nothing like getting comments form those who have them in sim.. Whats the best helo to nab at this time? Cheers

Hi Guys, There are a lot of aircraft that came with the program I know I am never going to fly... 1) If I delete them will it speed up loading times/make any difference? 2) Where do I find them and the aircraft CFG so I can also delete the liveries of those I will not use but keep the aircraft in the liveries I will fly?

I had this plane during the FSX days, and it was simply beautiful to fly. I bought it over a year ago, the sounds are simply terrible with no updates. I believe their is a third party developer where u pay $2.00 a month. I really want to fly this plane, unfortunately its in my hanger. Finally, does anybody have a link, or know of any sound packs for this wonderful plane

Hi Everybody, Are there any other PMDG 737-800 users that are having an issue with the reverse thrust taking an extended period of time to accelerate to 80%N1? You can see in the video (jump to 59:25), the throttles are being reduced to idle at 20', the upper mfd gauges show the engines to be at idle upon touchdown, I extend the speed brake and pull up the engine reversers, it then takes several seconds for the engines to spool up to 80% N1. I posted in the PMDG forum, only response so far was how the autobrake works and that AB2 wasn't aggressive enough, yet Topcat shows AB2 as fine. As well as the possibility of my landing technique as the possible cause. Is …

If I understand correctly Durville Island (top of the South Island NZ) was put back into MSFS 2020 a wee while ago. With the betas since then it has been removed again. Could someone verify that, I have removed everything from the community folder and short of removing myself from betas is it missing again or have I got a problem with my install ? Cheers

Don't know if this has been posted before, came across this the other day, i have tried it with no issues as some have said in the utube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOv1oI_Lexk

Amazing ! One of the most beautiful regions on the planet will be released on September 13, by one of the developers who are experts in that area, NZA Simulations.

I'm not a pilot so I'm sure I'm missing something. Many times during I get in a fight with ATC wanting to increase my flight level well above my flight plan altitude that I made using Low Altitude Airways in the World Map. One I almost always have issue with is flying over the ocean, mostly clear skys and low amounts of traffic between HEYDR and JEKER. My flightplan was made in the World Map using Low Altitude Airways and set for cruise of 10,000 Ft, but I'm constantly bombarded to climb and maintain 19,000 ft. Is this a airspace issue, a airway issue or just a janky MSFS issue? Here's my FP as made by the MSFS World Map. <?xml versio…

Do you people think that the old FSX missions could somehow be played on FS2020? Perhaps with some tweaking on the appropriate files or with a missions editor perhaps. I really dont know how this could work so im asking here if you think its possible I'd love to play missions like amazon trek and many more but on this new sim.

Here is a very welcome find..... https://archive.org/details/xxi-3-honda-h-51-hdjt-o-pom-r-2-3-mar-2017

Has anyone purchased the new Tenerife pack from MK Studios yet? It comes with both the North and South Tenerife airports in one bundle. I was wondering what the quality is like, especially compared to the Sim-Wings/Aerosoft Tenerife South? Rather frustratingly, you cannot buy the airports individually from MK Studios, so anyone like me who has already bought GCXO is unable to buy GCTS as an individual airport 😞

I'm still pretty new to MSFS. I discovered that the Nvidia app makes recommendations for optimal in-game graphics settings for MSFS, and lets you select them with one click. Any thoughts about the quality or utility of those recommendations? Thanks.

For more than a year I have experienced freezes of several minutes, sometimes more than once in a flight. My system is fairly recent and 'robust' in terms of disk, ram, graphics card, etc. I have tried all the possible solutions suggested on the various forums etc, to no avail. I have noticed that these freezes are always accompanied by the windows error: "Disk has been surprised removed", referring to one of the virtual disks that msfs creates for internal management. As soon as this error is generated msfs remains unusable for a few minutes, sometimes up to 7/8. Then it starts working again as if nothing had happened. Has anyone else noticed this relationship between th…
