Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

New to this at least since the AAU1 update and I have a couple of issues. 1. The interior lights - how do you turn these on? The rotary knobs on the overhead don't work at least by left mouse clicking or mouse wheel rotation. All that happens is some clicking but the Knobs stay stuck at the minimum position. Same for the map flood light on the lower panel. 2. Impossible to track the runway and take off with real weather and any sort of cross wind. Fine with real weather disabled. And just an observation - the cabin isn't modelled (unlike the CJ4). Disappointing seeing the Longitude is now being touted as study/payware quality. Assistance appreci…

Was descending through 15,300 in the Vision jet, just over SC51 (near Charlotte SC) at night. Couldn't see anything outside the window. Suddenly the "500" announcement went off, the altimeter dropped to zero, I heard a scraping sound, and then I was back at 15,300 and descending. It was like I brushed the top of a very tall terrain spike in an almost-belly landing, but when I switched from real time to daylight to look around, nothing like that was visible. Everything looked normal. I flew over the area for a good long time trying to see if it was an invisible mountain, but I never hit anything again. Anyone have an idea what this might have been?

I just finished a VA tour of 20 airports around the Greek Islands. I used the Kodiak aircraft because some of the runways were pretty short, and one was a sandy beach . Anyway, I quickly found out that the prevailing winds there typically were 20-30 mph, and almost all the time there was a hefty crosswind component on both takeoff and landing. The clue would be when starting the flight, the aircraft would be rocking from side to side from the winds at the airport. At one airport, trying to taxi to the active runway, the Kodiak actually tipped over onto a wing, despite full aileron control to try and level the wings. On almost every flight I had to cancel live weather, w…

Is there any mods to improve the Zombie like passengers coming out of terminal to the Aircraft , i keep expecting Michael Jackson coming out at the end of the queue or down the jetway singing " Oh this is thriller , thriller night " ( no offence Umberto iam a big fan honestly ) there must be something on Flightsim .TO ?

I have this aircraft WBSim/JPLogistics Cessna 152. The trim does not work. I have the HoneyComb Yoke and Throttle. The Trim wheel does not work. Also, The Trim wheel in the cockpit does not function either TDS GTN 750Xi integration for the incredible WBSim/JPLogistics Cessna 152 ***C152 mod required: https://flightsim.to/file/2246/jplogistics-c152-enhancement-mod ***TDS GTNXi required: https://tdssim.com/gtnxivcintegration I have version 2.

There was a thread like this some time ago and from it, I picked up a few tips on using the sim that I'd not previously known about (as well as seeing what people's greatest single wish was for a 'missing' MSFS feature). So, as of Feb 2023, what is your single greatest wish for a feature in MSFS, that is not currently there? I bet there are many common ones! But I bet nobody else wants what my greatest wish is 😄 :- You see I quite like the effect, but what I'd love to be able to do, for immersion, is start my engine with the headset off, then hit a key to activate the headset simulation. As it currently is, you need to go through 3 menu layers to a…

One thing I used to appreciate in the simple days of FS2004 was flying enroute, sometimes for hours on end, with other AI traffic as company, who happened to be going somewhere similar to me. Granted they flew great circle back then rather than along proper routes, but at least it was possible. With FSLTL loaded (and previously with AIG) I find the AI traffic flies so ridiculously slowly at altitude (~230kts ground speed) that you just end up overtaking everyone and never have anyone to fly with. It didn't used to be the case with native Live Traffic in MSFS (but I'm led to believe it is also the case now?) There's a bug ticket related to this on the MSFS forums…

Hi all I have noticed with my system, which yes its a 3070 but still quite high end for todays gaming, when I load AI traffic for example FS Traffic or FSLTL I get smooth performance looking around in airports and I have my frames locked at 30. Then all of a sudden after like 7 to 10 min doing flight preparations before departure when looking at certain parts to the left or right...my frames would drop to like 15-18 frames, I do not see any new traffic loaded, and sometimes the area where there is a drop would have less AI planes than an an area with more traffic where its still at 30 frames. When I check my GPU and CPU utilization looking at the view with the frame hit I…

LVFR is offering 50% off, so I'm thinking about getting this pair. I remember KMIA back from P3D days. It was nice, but not top notch. How about FLL? TIA. Dmitriy

Hi guys, Don't know if it's appropriate to ask here but... I have literally been dreaming about that specific plane so I had to ask here 😅 Thanks a lot! Jozeff

Quick question... I've been getting stutters on final lately, specifically flying into FSDT ORD (w/DD) and LatinVFR KMIA. I know the answer is try turning down some settings or don't use payware, but I wanted to see what you all think is the main culprit that I should look into reducing first? I think somewhere along the way I increased a few settings so I want to see what I should be turning down first. My specs are in my sig and my settings are a combo of High to Ultra.

This is an odd one that I have never experienced before, but I'm sure someone here will have the answer Once I have loaded a flight I then have about a dozen or so apps to initiate, including FSCom, ATC chatter, FSLTL, the CDU, etc etc all of which sit on the desktop as shortcuts. One of the shortcuts (FSCom) that initiates the CPFlight MCP/EFIS, no longer works and gives an error message saying DLL file cannot be found. The shortcut connects to the FSCom file in the main CPFlight folder that was installed onto the C: drive, as recommended. For some reason, if I launch the MCP by clicking the FSCom file that resides on the C: drive, then it works fine! But for some reaso…

Chewwy, Fabio and Filbert are all flying her in their streams this morning....won't be long until she's released. 😉

Can FSX AI traffic .bgls be ported over to MSFS, or do they need to go through some conversion process like we did moving them from FS9 to FSX? Then how about the AI aircraft that go with those traffic files? Thaks very much, Captain Tom

Greetings, I have a content manager install question I need help on. When I go to content manager, I see three files that need to be installed/updated. They are CONTENTINFO -NOT INSTALLED- Community, Gauge-NOT INSTALLED-COMMUNIY, HTML_UI-NOT INSTALLED-COMMUNITY. When I click on the blue box to the right for more information, it shows waiting and then nothing happens. I am not able to get information on the files or install them. Can someone please tell me what these files are for and how I can get them installed/updated? Otherwise, everything seems to work fine in the sim. Thank you!

Hi, For those waiting for FSHud - Air Traffic Control to come to MSFS, we have had successful beta testing and decided to post some captures from a test flight from KLGA to KATL. These pics are from the forum thread over at https://www.simforums.com/forums/msfs-beta-pictures_topic64754.html Not all communications appears in this beta preview... It starts after requesting departure clearance and taxi and pushback, and a lot of the departure phase is captured.

Would like to avoid buying Navigraph, if possible. Ray

With any iteration of a wardbird, we read posts deeming it unflyable. I do not want potential buyers to be discouraged by these negative posts and I (rather presumptuously) thought I might help. Let me say first that a warbird, or more properly a good simulation of a warbird, is not easy to handle. To date the FI is perfectly flyable. I don't know about the DCS bird and I am not a pilot but forwhat it is worth I flew tens over tens of hours in the A2A P-51 and P-40 and before the Rob Young FS9 Mark XiV Here are the takeoff tips I collected over the years, hoping it may help : 1/ There are two different counterforces to the powerful engine which are nee…

Hi, Everyone, All of a sudden, I realized that the red line of the Flight Plan is not visible in the VFR MAP. Anyone with that issue? I wonder what happened. Thanks in advance.

Looks like Sergio of helisimmer.com got more technical details from MS/Asobo on what's upcoming in SU12 for helicopters and other areas: https://www.helisimmer.com/news/helicopters-features-list-su-12 -------------------- A lot, really. And the biggest win may be the governor change that is plaguing turbine helicopters such as the default Bell 407, for example. But that’s not all. Microsoft was kind enough to send me a list of everything that will be coming out in SU12. Well, at least everything that they have seemed to work on so far. I assume this list may change on release day so while this is coming directly from the source, do keep in mind things may hav…

Looks like it will release soon. We've been needing a good Detroit Airport. This will be a day one purchase for me. More news HERE.

Just read the Cowansim newsletter where he states the H125/AS350B3e is coming next. ⭐ Followed by the 222B. 🙂
