Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Just bought Flightfx Hjet and everytime I load it it falls back on it's tail. The only way I can get it back down is to enter it and Import simbriefs weights and them it comes down. ??

I could use some opinions: Long story short - I have been struggling for literally months trying to get the performance I think I should, with the hardware listed in my signature + a pimax crystal light. Finally, the other night, in desparation, I decided to basically go back to a completely vanilla sim (but still in the beta). So I took everything, except for a couple of absolutely needed things, out of the Community folder and then tested some exact scenarios that were always causing me to get lots of stutters. To my disbelief, without my addons, the performance was monumentally better, to the point that I was able to put the pimax render setting to 1.00 and i…

Hi Captains! 👋 Many of you will remember the excellent Virtual FMC apps we had back in the Prepar3D days—my favorite for years. Since the move to MSFS 2020, several web-based CDU solutions have appeared. While they work well, I’ve always missed the responsiveness of a true native app. Web apps are convenient, but native apps are simply faster, smoother, and more reliable. So, I decided to build one myself! FlightPadFMC is a fully native Android application that turns your tablet into a PMDG 777/737 CDU. No browser, no complex web server, and zero lag. It’s a clean, high-performance experience designed to feel like the real hardware sitting on your flight de…

The new API appears to have made it smoother, but the slider settings are nothing like before. I have wasted an hour on this and I am still some distance from getting it back like before (Pre SU5) Any idea which settings give all the degrees of freedom (forward/backwards and higher/lower?), I seem to get close to the side to side speed setting I want, then lose this ability. Thanks in advance for any replies. Hopefully we can have some starter setting for all users, as I don't understand half of the terminology on the sliders.

I just fired it up. Not sure what the changes are. No problems so far. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/sim-update-5-beta-1-7-21-0-release-notes-april-17-2026/763121

Question #1 I've noticed that some of the parked GA (msfs 2024 models) are above the ground. Does anyone know if this is another bug that needs to be resolved or are there are better AI Traffic options (AIG Models) that prevent aircraft from appearing a few feet from the ground? Question #2 I flew to KTLH by Stealthy Duck and did not get proper taxi clearance. This seems like a common problem, because I had the same issue with default KATL. Are there other airports that need to be fixed that should be aware of? I've already contacted the dev and I'm waiting for ORBX KATL. Thanks for the input.

We've not heard from the team in quite a while - there is a dev stream at 1630Z Wed the 15th of April https://m.twitch.tv/MSFSofficial/home

Not sure if this is covered in other threads… https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/multi-frame-generation-for-all-gpus-game-changer/756881 This is experimental but some people are seeing really good results. Just drop one file into the folder your exe is located in. It make 3x, 4x and higher FG available on non 50 series cards. I believe there are issues with VR. This could cause crashes.

Version 3.9.2 April 15th, 2026 - GSX (all versions) NEW: Taxi route customization on the airport map. When selecting FollowMe, Progressive Taxi or Towing, you can now click "Customize route on Map" to open the airport map and visually edit the route by clicking on taxiways to prefer or unprefer them. The route recalculates in real time through preferred taxiways. Taxiway labels are shown on the map at intermediate zoom levels for easier identification. - GSX (all versions) NEW: Push-in to Park (Tail-in parking). Gates can now be configured for tail-in parking, where a tug pushes the aircraft backward into the gate. Dual-use gates offer a Nose-In / Tail-In choi…

I just bought the flightfx Hjet. I fly out of and into KHKY. All my other planes I can set an arival procedure into KHKY (Normally Sanfi). When I try to select an arrival into KHKY on the Hjet No arrivals are available. Do I need to update something or add a mod ? Don't understand why it's just this plane. Thanks for any help

On the visual side, you’ll also find optimisations for VRAM usage, improved animations, lighting corrections, …

Hi Everybody, Are there any work arounds for Nvidia App Filters? All I see are two filters, if I go back to older drivers they work for about ten minutes and then 2024 crashes. Would really like to get those filters back, they made 2024 look amazing! Thanks

The last MS/Asobo dev update was October 2025, is that right? I noticed how quiet Asobo has become in the past months; yeah, holidays etc. etc. but I tend to recall years past they hit the ground running not too long after the new year COMMUNICATING with the masses. Did I miss an announcement, did they stop doing dev updates? What next, the weekly updates will stop perhaps? Might this be the first steps of a MS Asobo FS market exit? 2024 version, I love it (yes it still needs lots of work but I am grateful for what we have). But they seemed to have dropped weather updates or really *any* "new" stuff except some content. Again, maybe I missed an announcement or heck maybe …

I’ve been waiting impatiently for a long time now, but they just won’t turn up – i hope they’ll be added to the flight simulation market soon; it’s been dragging on for ages now...🤔 But as we all know, good things take time but in hope not to long anymore ! cheers 😉

Hi Everybody, This sequence worked for me, it may work for you. Until I followed this approach, using the 366.36 (last known usable drivers for app filters) failed to load more than two filters.

Gemini says there is alot of issues still with the log page that records my flight time and with SU4 its even worse. I can do a flight frome gate to gate and it will erase when restarting MSFS2024. many flights is just goen with the system. Volanta is the way to go if Gemini has a word but i am not that interested in having to much more running . But still a major issue , hopefully resolved in SU5 ? Michael Moe

Hi All, Recently I purchased the Win Wing Ursa Minor side stick. My naivety thought me that it would be a simple plug and play with FS2024 but I soon found out that was not to be the case. As all Win Wing users will know that you first have to install the Sim App Pro program and set it up with your installed game. This is where my problems start. How do I link Win App Pro with my installed FS2024 ? I believe you have to map very specific folder paths in the game with the App before you can do any "Key Binding". Is there any good tutorial info available on how to set up the app correctly with the Sim ? Thanks again. Barry

As some of you know, I'm running MSFS 2024 exclusively on Linux now. I was missing Addons Linker so I used Ai to code up a replacement in Linux. This is built in .NET with Avalonia for a cross-platform experience. I have enough experience with C# and .net in general that I can validate the code and make sure it doesn't do weird stuff. I am NOT releasing this for anyone else to use or anything like that. Addons Linker (the real one) is built by @Bad_T and is an excellent free piece of software. I called my little program by the same name, but it's nowhere near as fully featured, and I built this for myself. Perhaps the original developer will build one for Linux…

Hi. I just saw that MSFS 2024 sold 245K copies on PS5 so far, as of April of 2026: https://alineaanalytics.substack.com/p/starfield-has-sold-140k-copies-on Most of us are PC users of MSFS 2024 so on the surface, you may not care about this much. But the MSFS marketplace will eventually come out on the PS5. 3rd party developers having a significant market to sell to other than PC and XBox, means they can make more money. And 3rd party developers do affect us if we are PC users. The more 3rd party developers for MSFS, the better, because we ultimately get better add-ons to choose from, and and a wider variety of add-ons. These look like pretty…

A Pilatus test pilot was test flying the PC-21 in MSFS (from Iris I think) and found it surprisingly good within the normal flight envelope with some weak spots at the edge or beyond the envelope. The video also gives a nice impression about the rugged terrain around the Pilatus factory airfield (LSZC). Many years back, when watching Buochs ops, I still remember very well, how the F-5 Tigers dropped over the Eastern ridge of Bürgenstock leveling their wings barely before reaching short final.

We've already got the ATR as Expert Series 01, but when it comes to the pending Expert Series 02 Praetor, well, to borrow a tagline, "This isn't your father's Embraer" Matt Nischan opened his segment with this astounding tidbit, "We're treating [the Praetor addon] as a prototype for what the future of flight simulation could be." 😁! Let me tell you, Matt reviewed just a few systems, but from his description, the Praetor could easily be at the same level of fidelity as A2A, Black Square, Leonardo, Fenix, and PMDG. And dare I say it, he is describing systems that make the Praetor sound as sophisticated as the current ne plus ultra biz jet/airliner, the Hot St…

Hello all, Taking a small break from the Arcata-Eureka scenery as I am still stuck with some small issues. I have been inspired by the NASA Artemis mission to give some attention to Moffett Federal Airfield, the former Moffett NAS, home of NASA Ames Research center in Silicon Valley. I am very familiar with this airport as an uncle of mine flew P-3s there in the 1980s. Much of the airport is already covered by PG, but I am trying to add some key buildings like the flight ops center, Hangar One, and California ANG. Will try to add some static NASA aircraft too. Just a fun little enhancement.

When on final I press the RA Button. It shows my Min Altitude but not seeing AGL Altitude. Am I doing something wrong ? Runway was 1150 ft So was about 500 ft. Is this not in the Citation x ? Thanks for any help
