Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Is anyone currently making a Cherokee Six? Payware or freeware.

Flying at low altitude in GA aircraft over any photogrammetry city (ex. London, or New York) the buildings look awful. It looks like the cities got nuked and are now a wasteland of wrecked, melted, or destroyed buildings. It truly does look like wreckage. Sometimes, as I fly, when you get really close or are passing them SOME (not all) of them "crisp up" and suddenly appear correct. The vast majority remain awful. I googled this and I see alot of people in various forums talking about "Melted Buildings" for years now. However, I wasn't able to find any good solutions. Some posts blamed certain updates. Others just recommended turning off photogrammetry. Some …

I mainly fly the HondaJet, but assume this would apply to most jets. When is the proper time to reduce throttle to MCT? Right after takeoff (like at a certain altitude) or later?

You may see an update in your system to windows 11 22h2. If you do it, all your games will become a stutter fest. Something is wrong in that build that will destroy all games including MSFS. I had to roll back Windows because even the world map you select airports from was stuttering, which never happened before. Give this one some time to get sorted before you update. Edit: Here and on other game forums it looks like it is tied to Nvidia drivers. So depending on the driver version you may or may not have issues. Many reported the latest studio driver works with this version.

After updating to SU12 my sim continuously hangs just before the ready for flight moment (end of the incrementing blue bar). Have no idea what is going on. I have renamed my community folder and created an empty one that I fill peace by peace by payware airports and airplanes. However for most of these addons the sims hangs and I haver to perrform a ctrl del. to exit MSFS and restart. I also see in Flightsim.to that most of the downloaded addons are incompatible with SU12. What is going on??? Thanks for any help to solve this.

I am flying mainly airliners, having following ones: PMDG 737 all versions Fenix A320 FBW A320 Leonardo MD 80 family JustFlight BAE 146 iniBuilds A310 iniBuilds A225 Aerosoft CRJ We are having plenty aircrafts in development, but we have to wait for them. But we have some addons (payware and freeware), but the reviews are "mixed", I mean following aircrafts: Salty 747-8 HeavyDivisionMod 787 Headwind A330 Neo FSS Embraer 175 RHDSimulations 767-300ER SkySimulations MD-11 Question for you (maybe someone has experience) - which aircrafts from list above are "descent" - I mean you ca…

Still no pictures of this elusive tablet... fingers crossed the beta is smooth for the T7 and maybe we'll see some pictures of that tablet next month. https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/244464-22mar23-pmdg-737-for-microsoft-flight-simulator-su12-updates-followup-and-some-other-bits [22MAR23] PMDG 737 for Microsoft Flight Simulator: SU12 Updates followup and some other bits... Today, 15:46 Captains, A quick thanks to Chris Makris and Henning van Rensburg for jumping in to manage yesterday's update release cycle on the 737. We knew that my schedule would have me unavai…

Since I don't know, I'll put it here. I recently bought MSFS 2020 (ms store) and am trying to set up my honeycomb bravo for single engine. I have watched several videos and found the one I want to follow. But I noticed something right away. In my menus, everything is upside down. For instance: throttle 2 mixture is above throttle 1, or Mixture 2 Axis is shown above Mixture 1 axis. This probably does not make any difference, but it's a bit confusing when I'm trying to follow a video which shows them beginning with 1 and progressing to 4.. Any suggestions on how to correct this?

Hi guys , anyone else had this break on them today, if i dowload and install latest version , just get a spalsh screen with sign in box which is unclickable , it cant just be me ? weird thing there is an icon for it in the tasbar even though i uninstalled it

So I have been flying this for a couple of months and am a First Officer with a 95% Rating with 2,000 XP. but apparently there is a "Pilot Rank". What is that? According to the manual, it is a 1-5 system but does not show up on my dashboard and so I don't know where I stand. My rating is pretty good, but I am not getting selected by the better airlines so I figure I must be missing something. I sent a request for info to the developer weeks ago with no response and struggling to find information in the manual or elsewhere. Thanks, Dave

Since the SU12 update - all my flight training records have gone back to zero - anyway of getting them back?

This drives me to distraction. MSFS totally hoses the active runway - with active weather enabled, I checked the current ATIS at KBOS. Arrivals are assigned rwy 4R and 4L, with 33R approved for turnoffs. Departures use rwy 9. MSFS, using whatever algorithm it uses, has departures using 33R, a 2500 foot runway! It kind of destroys whatever immersion we are trying to achieve when we see that level of simulation. I know I can use whatever runway I want for my flight, but I have experienced, when using RL ATIS for either takeoff or landing, AI traffic using the opposite end. It would be nice to be able to designate, when setting up the flight - or during a fl…

The bottom right figure in the Cabri rudimentary Garmin is now the VS instead of the distance to the next waypoint as it was pre-Su12. I had a look in the Cabri files, I don't see how to change it back. If any of you has an idea...

Can't get the GTN 750 to load up in my new Baron, anyone else having this problem? All I've seen so far is a blank screen. Thanks and welcome any suggestions to get it going!

Hello, Has anyone notice any changes in PMDG 737-800 lights after update?? I have notice that the wingtip strobe lights are blinking slow, also when I turned on taxi light the nose light don't turn on, only the inner lights from the wings. Also, it used to have 4 switches on the panel now I only see 2 for landing lights.

Hello, Trojan wacatac.b!ml is detected on PMS50 2.1.58 download ? https://pms50.com/fs2020/gtn750/pms50-gtn750.zip Do you have the same alert ? I am runing Widows Defender Thanks Franck

It's all go for big name releases this week with the An-2, Analogue Baron and MD83/88 expansion (and across the sim divide the Toliss A320Neo) so why not add another one to the mix. This time it's Cowan's Airbus H125 Helicopter (aka the Aérospatiale/Eurocopter AS350B3e Écureuil) https://cowansim.com/product/h125-for-msfs/ Like the previous Cowan helos it's based on there built-in MSFS flight and engine model and isn't feature complete yet but hopefully now they have their three main models out they can start adding features.

When changing views and you have arrived at that new view there is a very short stutter or frame skip. Looks like something you see when taking a snapshot. Hard to describe. This is after SU12 So the new view is there and then a small movement after that. If others have this they will know what I mean.

Anyone else get this? I did. Either a ton of stuff is missing, or this is just really bad. At first, I thought maybe all the files didn't get pushed to the installer, but looking at the screenshots, I think this one is just...well...not even sure what to say about it.

Does MSFS 2020 load faster off a SSD or Hard Drive? I've got it on a hard drive and it takes like 10-15 mins to load. I've got a SSD and if it loads faster that way I'll move it over. Thanks guys!

Just saw video from Simghanger. Talking after SU12 is installed good idea is to delete rolling cache Not sure what this rolling cache does

Navigraph pushed an upgrade to their software today that went beyond a simple Airac upgrade. After installing it and updating all my add-ons I notice that the EFB Navigraph tab is not functional. You can still import the airports from Simbrief, but clicking on the tabs that should open the charts of the respective airports does nothing. Has anyone elsed noticed this as well?

After the recent update I find myself looking through the pilots glasses when flying in the Cessna 208 B Grand Caravan. How do I get rid of this?

My MSFS zombie apocalypse plane would be the amphibious Cessna 172. 1. The aircraft can take-off and land in both land and water 2. Reliable, simple to operate and can fly without radio navigation aids 3. Relatively cheap, readily available and easily re-purposed spare parts 4. It has space for small barking pet dog, a few months' supply of food and breeding rabbits 5. Enough space for tent, sleeping bags, meds, fishing gear, guns and ammo also. No. 1 is important. I'll look for an island with a fresh water supply. Also, I've never seen a zombie swim.

Must be available pretty soon now if this is on YT -
