Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Forgive me is this has already been addressed. Does the new turbulence setting from inside the simulator have any effect on FS Realistic or vice versa? Does FS Realistic simply react to whatever turbulence the sim send to it? I thought FS Realistic had it's own version of turbulence or was that a more accurate response to the sim. Mike

FSRealistic has a slider to effect the turbulence. Is this slider still relevant with the new slider in SU12? Should I deactivate it? Is it even useful?

I've looked at some reviews for Zinertek Enhanced Airport Graphics and REX Real Global Textures but they're quite old. Are there others available? Which one would you recommend? Thank you.

Per announcement on WT Discord https://discord.com/channels/750764704175226992/763804431413673984/1088262283458789459 Hello, @everyone! Coincident with the release of SU12, we're excited to announce the long-awaited public update of our open source code. Systems developers can now have access to the very latest version of our avionics frameworks as used in the G3000, GNS, and WT21 projects. With this release we've also put effort into simplifying the developer experience, and with the help of our friends at Microsoft we now have made npm versions of every library available on npm.js. Our code is now just an `npm i` away from your development environment. …

So, I've been waiting to get into MSFS for a few reasons. Firstly, I've sunk a ton of money into P3D and between going to 5.3 and FINALLY getting my hands on a reasonably priced 3090ti, I'm very pleased with the visuals and performance. Additionally, I wanted to give MSFS time to mature and see what the verdict was on its success. And finally, I simply did not have enough space on my SSD's and I recently rectified that. I was under the impression before the release that the basic MSFS would provide a lot of the features that typically needed to be added on to P3D to bring it up to a good state of technical depth and immersiveness. It looks now like I was greatly mistaken …

Every flight I start, in spite of selecting an off-runway starting position/ramp, the aircraft spawns with engines running on a runway. 🙄 Anyone else experiencing this?

In the example above, I didn't ask for an ILS frequency at KLAX. But ChatGPT will give you that information as well if you ask. Try it out. ChatGPT is also very good at figuring out what you want even if you express your request poorly. For example, I mis-typed IFR as IRF but it still understood my intention. I'll bet you $5 that, within one year, ChatGPT (a Microsoft product) will be incorporated into MSFS to tremendously boost the quality of ATC. EDIT: The web address is https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt

Anyone else have this issue? When taxing to RWY 8 using either taxiway L or M, there is a very steep angled hill before taxiway ZN and my plane always gets stuck, cannot proceed because the nose wheel is up in the air and the belly is grounded and the mains are on the ground. This has been happening since day one. I thought that with all the updates, it would have been fixed. Apparently not. Gnacino

It could be a coincidence, but since SU12 I start up the Longitude and enter a flightplan. The airport departure and destination are entered successfully but when I click on procedures/approach there are none available, nor are there any VORs, NDBs, ILSs or intersections. If I attempt for example to create a GATWICK to GATWICK flight plan and on the procedure/arrivals page try to enter an enroute waypoint or approach the only option is Visual Approach to 26R or 26L. I tried entering SFD (Seaford) and MAY (Mayfield) and other waypoints but the only waypoints recognised are airports, not navaids. A message pops up saying "waypoint not found". If I attempt a VFR flight …

I have seen a lot of threads talking about turbulence but I cant find the options to turn it on. Someone said it was in the Assistance Options but I don't see any option for it. Thanks Richard

just fired up a few planes and noticing a wierd stutter which was never there before the update. The taxi and in flight now has a stutter never seen before.any one else or just me?

Even though there was an update for WU11 in the Content Manager after SU12 Downtown Toronto (the forth largest city in on the North America Continent) is still a pile of dog 💩. I think it might even be worse than it was before the update. Strange they went to the trouble of doing a custom building for 1 Bloor West and for Marilyn Monroe in Mississauga. Why bother? They must have something against Canada. 🤣

They just announced on the livestream that they'll be attending. Looks like this year the expo will be super exciting. I wasn't planning to go but now I'm reconsidering. Who else is excited?

I started flying the turbo variant, it had a radar screen in the cockpit and a nice radar pod on the right wing. Now that I have switched to another version I notice that I have the radar screen but no pod attached to the wing. Am I missing something, a setting, switch, or is it a bug?

... do not forget to go to the Content Manager, there are scenery updates and maybe more waiting there

Hi, there are a number of cool ULs available for MSFS like the Sting, to name only one. I use the TM Airbus stick which works. however, basically I have a little yoke-based home cockpit based on the Saitek Cessna Yoke. Are there any ULs controlled by a yoke for MSFS (in-game, freeware, or affordable payware wouldn't matter that much). Of course, you can control any plane with the yoke in MSFS, but that feels a bit crazy to me, if the RL plane sports a stick. Thanks and kind regards, Michael

Here is a fix for broken ESSA by Lennart Arvidsson. https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=!AMy16ywgOJKyvkE&cid=441CA008C764E8D6&id=441CA008C764E8D6!10909&parId=441CA008C764E8D6!10908&action=locate

I've been trying to select to start at the gates or parking, but I always appear at the active. Is it just me or are others having this too? Just started since the latest update.

After updating to SU12 my sim continuously hangs just before the ready for flight moment (end of the incrementing blue bar). Had no idea what was going on. I had my Community renamed. Than I decide to look at the options menu and found that my controlers (Thrustmaster Airbus and Boeing) were no longer recognised. Can somebody give me suggestions how best to approach this issue?? Thanks

...you might better find something else to do. After the extremely quick release of the Hjet update I was hoping the Vision Jet update might follow a week later or so, but unfortunately I was hoping in vain. After a few weeks of people anxiously asking about the update on Discord the guy who is working on it posted today: "The AAU1 migration is 95% complete. There is a few other non AAU1 items that need to be finished then the plane will go into internal Beta. ATM I am away from my HQ working on other FlightFX projects which is why it's a bit slower (NDAd out of my mind). When I'm back in around 1.5 weeks the development on the vision jet 2.0 should pick up." So appare…

Today Microsoft released Sim Update 12, which has added lots of important improvements to the sim covering many areas. But for FSDT and GSX Pro, the most important feature is the addition of full Jetway informations to the Navdata API, which will offer big benefits to how GSX works. The changes are many and their impact so profound, we had to make a presentation video to explain in the detail how much this improves GSX: We would like to thank Microsoft and Asobo for listening to all our suggestions about this new API, which has been added exactly like we asked, and makes GSX working with jetways so much better. Changelog: GSX MAJOR UPDAT…

I was wondering about using Addon LInker to also fire up Simbrief and Chartfox. Is it possible to do that by calling Chrome and some extra parameters for the URL perhaps? Does anyone have it working?

Hello!, Every one I would like to share my SIMPUDATE problem here so may be some body could help me. I never had updating problem before since I installed very first time. I installed STEAM for some games that my grand son wanted to play about two months ago. Then yesterday when I started FS2020 the window come as normal for initial download for main UPDATE and at the very same time the STEAM window came as well asking to enter password for it, when password entered id did not work - the flight sim window shows error. I new it would not work because my MSFS2020 version is NOT either from STEAM or from MS STORE - it is DVD BOXED VERSION then I removed STEAM from my PC and …

Landing phase is broken.... touch down point is way too looong... it causes that airplanes cannot breaking at the runway.... This is something for HOTFIX I think !!!! not for SU 13 IN 2024 hahahah brds
