Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

PMDG have posted a new update:

Did some tried run 3x MFSM on single PC for better fps. Asking because in "enemy program" that seems to work.

I use the hat switch to look up / down / etc and two buttons to translate fwd / back and up / down. But the MSFS controls settings are far too coarse to adjust easily. I also use FSUIPC and SPAD.neXt but can't find a setting that works there either. Does anyone know how to get finer view/eyepoint movements? Thanks!

Hi All Since the latest hotfix, and amongst other weird things that have occurred, the generator switch in the Cessna 208 is constantly clicking on and off. Any idea what this might be please? Also the drop down listings in the Controls UI for setting bindings doesn't seem to collapse and expand as before?

This is more of a question with regards to BETA throttle positioning during Taxi operations. I am not a "RWP" but have been flying Sims since the C64 days. I notice that most of the MSFS Turbo Prop aircraft, specifically the TBM930 & now Kodiak, tend to stop (some actually back up) when entering the BETA position. I was under the impression the BETA position was used to slow taxi speeds prior to going into complete reverse thrust. Is this action really correct? It's really pronounced with the new Kodiak since taxi speeds increase rather dramatically when outside of BETA and the minute you drop into BETA it will completely stop movement in a very short period. I have a…

I was one of those who downloaded and installed on day one and experienced some of the issues many had including no aircraft in skies while airborne, no aircracft at arrival airport (despite destination being entered), lots of static aircraft but nothing moving at airports etc. Have these issues been addressed in the update?

Hello, during troubleshooting I did something I didn’t know would happen. In Steam I right clicked MSFS, clicked on Properties, clicked on Local Flies and then on Verify integrity... When I ran the sim it had to reinstall all the files, it was as if it was a new install. That took hours and hours. Now when I go to Content Manager I see a list of 596 Installed Files but I can’t delete any like I was able to previously, and to make matters worse two of my airports aren’t installed. I have a lot of third party airports installed and when I search for them in Content Manager they’re there except for YSSY and KBOS, both from FlyTampa. I used Orbx Direct to uninst…

For anyone who uses the CPFlight MCP/EFIS for the PMDG 737 and experiences input lag, there is a new driver update (Inst_FS2020_381) that can be downloaded from the CPFlight website. After installing the driver myself, I can confirm that the issue has now been resolved (big smiles all round)

a.k.a. (British) Hellcat F. Mk. II . A later version of the Hellcat. It was the best the USN had. Controllable, Agile, Fast. The original radial was the same engine as in the Jug and Corsair. But this F6F-5 version had a bigger radial and water injection. Engine damage optional on this FI version. After a 5 month absence, Pilot / 0083 is back on Youtube again! +++++++++++++++ Scoreboard https://www.warbirdsandairshows.com/aircraftvictorieswwii.htm

Hi folks. I need some help from someone who uses this addon. I have downloaded the addon. I use ADDONS LINKER so I have it hooked up to that. No matter how I install it, I get messages in addons linker that say "Could not read the manifest.json file" As far as I can tell, it's installed properly (download zip, unzip, put resulting folder into addons folder controlled by addons linker. Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong? Thanks

For those with both, just wondering which one edges out the other for you. Although similar, do you find yourself preferring one over the other, even if slightly? If so, why? I'm referring to models/liveries only, not the traffic injection systems.

Hi all. Don't know if I'm at thr right place here. Has anybody had a problem with the fenix app load after launching msfs. The app is staying on Processing data, so I can't access any graphics changes or anything else in the app. Doe's anyone have any ideas what is wrong. I can't even minimise or close the app down. It's the app that has to run for the fenix aircraft to work in msfs2020. Thank Alan

Hi, just after some advise as to where and how is the best and easiest way to purchase MSFS 2020, download or boxed edition, I would prefer the boxed edition but I guess that's not important I'm in Australia. Cheers.

I do love MSFS, but it's getting really frustrating. I'll almost get through an entire flight, and when I'm maybe 10 mins from my destination, program crashes and closes. No error message or anything. What a pain in the butt.

I don't know what's going on. I have Ryzen 7 5800 X3D and Nvidia 4010 Ti 12GB. I'm getting a very long load time and a frame rate of between 5 and 16. Mostly 5. This is only in Toronto CYYZ. NY is running just fine so it's not the scenery detail.

For the life of me, I can't figure it out. Have searched both Google and AVSIM, but no joy.

Hi all, A word of advice I suppose. I started MSFS up on the weekend and found it acted like I had just purchased it, the music was there, the user agreement, finally found all settings were back to default. This really came out of nowhere and of course I could not remember all the fine little tweaked General settings and controller mapping I had put in over time to find that sweet spot - therefore start again! (just a pain really, it's all back in place now) So it's probably worth backing up your Usercfg file and your Flightcontrols.cfg (name?) file which might guard against this in the future.

Hi guys, stupid question alert... The battery on my Cessna 172 is flat, how do I recharge it? I am using the WB Sim modified version..

Hello, Just a quick and probably not so smart question. 🙊 i have the JF Turbo Arrow (from marketplace, shouldn't make any difference with the JF store bought one though), i was wondering if there was a way to make the PMS GTN750 work in WTT mode in that plane. On the official PMS page i see only a WTT package for the 'Arrow' which i don't have, seems strange nothing was done for the Turbo version. Anyone know of any other mod that might enable this feature ? Probably not but, well, still asking as i know there are some smart guys around here 😜 Thank you. 🍻

As soon as I enter drone camera mode, the time of day speeds up. It goes from day to night within a minute or two. I’ve looked at my settings and searched online for a solution, but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have a suggestion for resolving this?

So my question pertains to how unstable GA aircraft become on final approach in the sim during real weather windy approaches (tail wagging and instability) due to how MSFS handles this. I've heard some of you call it turbulence effects and others call it micro wind shifts. I'd like to know, since FSUIPC seems to have no impact on weather in MSFS these days, is there any way for the user to adjust these wind shifts or amount of turb. (without turning off real weather and customizing it yourself of course)?

Dear: 1. How do I know my remaining distance to destination in the default TBM 930 and Cessna Longitude? 2. How do I set takeoff thrust in Cessna Longitude using autothrottle? Regards, Haseen Ahmad.

I've been looking for a twin-engine piston aircraft to make some longer GA flights in, so I obviously have to give the DA62 a shot. I've made a handful of flights with this plane and while I really like the way it looks and how well it's equipped, but I have been struggling to come to grips with the flight model. For whatever reason I almost always feel like it's right up on the edge of stalling: In cruise it seems like I have to keep the throttle high to avoid a high nose-up attitude and maintain a good speed, then on approach I feel like I have to apply too much throttle at all times to overcome drag from the gear and flaps, and reducing throttle for a glideslope ove…

I am using the latest navigraph database and simbrief to generate a flightplan. However since the latest MSFS2020 update I always get AWY / WPT MISMATCH. in the MCDU FBW320N when imported. yes I can correct it but never had this before with every new flight. Anyone?

Once again I can I get to the simulator to start. I have tried upgrading to the beta downgrading to the regular. I have also verified that the files of coding to steam. no issue. I really thought that was no hope for X-Plane, but this is a insanity was Microsoft flight simulator has gotten out of hand. Any ideas on what to do other than we installing? I have put my wine and cheese down as well in hopes something would give....The status bar at the bottom goes all the way to the end and stops. I am using a default airplane.
