Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

I took a break from 737's and A32NX's and had another go at the Salty 747 and flew a full, gate-to-gate flight from Sydney to Singapore, without any issue, CTD or anything. I am actually pleasantly surprised by this mod. It is (dare I say) with a bit of give or take, Payware quality and pretty much is the same standard that a certain other payware 747 got to in the FSX days. And this one is community driven. Pretty good stuff. The FMC (and simbrief integration) is very well done and this alone lifts it out of default class. Not every knob works but who cares I am sure this will flow through eventually. Yep impressed.

OK, so I followed everyone's advice and good reviews about this addon, but somewhere I think I have screwed up. All seems good in the app, but for some reason I am still left with what looks like shortcuts in the community folder, but they still have files in them! Also, equally irritating is Orbx Central is no longer showing my addons as owned. I assume this is because when they were installed they were pointed to my Community folder in MSFS and not an external library folder (?) So how do I rectify this? So two issues which I am unsure how to rectify. Help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Hi guys, Just of late I have been getting a lot of BSOD and have no idea why... The error I receive is - The gaming services service terminated with the following error:- The operation returned because the time out period expired. Any ideas please as it is very frustrating...

Any idea what this means? I've had this last few flights - I don't have failures running everything appears functional during flight.

The 750 loads fine, but the 530 won't load as my NAV/COM2, it briefly flashes and disappears. Here are the packages I have loaded (confirmed mounted in DEV mode) pms50-gns50 pms50-gtn750wtt-aircraft-bksq-kingair pms50-instrument-gtn750 workingtitle-instruments-gns_fixcompat workingtitle-instruments-gns

...slowly moving from P3D to MSFS. Market Place or other stores? Market Store looks like a convenient choice, but I have heard that people are complaining about timing of updates. Thanks

Tempted by this, any thoughts? https://fselite.net/news/rex-releases-real-global-airport-textures-for-msfs/

Just returning to flight simming after using FSX previously. Problems with hardware add-ons. MSFS not recognising my Saitek Engine Controller, AP Add-On nor Switch Panel. Only registering Rudder Pedals and Flight Yoke. Also on default settings for Yoke, lists buttons with no equivalent on the picture and I can't find these. Can anyone help with these? Thanks

The PMDG 737-600: never liked a PMDG addoon this much. The Fénix A320: it's an Airbus, and Airbuses are nowaday my preferred arliners, and this one is so "entertaining"; The Cabri: the rotary wings - not counting the awful drones I really dont like IRL or simming - were introduced in SU11 + 40th, and guys, I think that while there's still fine tuning to be done, the Cabri is my preferred one. There's something about it that really shows that there's potential in the new rotary flight dynamics in MFS. And what would I love to have? - a glider that I can compare to my RL experience; - a ww2 fighter that replicates i's real world counterpart as it i…

"Aamir": Good evening Some short service announcements for you all and general updates on the company as a whole. I’ll start with the not-so-great news, progress on the IAEs (and by extension - the external engine model) has been slower than expected due to the conflict in Ukraine. The developer taking lead on the integration of the external engine model is, unfortunately, regularly without power and heating for days. The recent large scale missile strikes in the region have only served to worsen the situation, and we do not expect the circumstances to improve in the near future. With that being said, work does continue where possible, and last night we ma…

I would like to use DLSS mode, but last heard that the cockpit panels will also be blurry and difficult to read. Does anyone know if Asobo is aware of the issue or has already addressed it in SU11?

I have a problem where when I load into EDDM I don't see any other planes. On the webeye I see other planes and I can hear them but I can't see them. Why? Also sim is MSFS

About 1/2 the time now I find myself turning Realtime Online Traffic (RTOT) w/ Simple Traffic off due to meaningful impacts on my wonderful 100% stutter-free performance that I won't give up for anything now. I leave multiplayer on and every once in a while manage to see another MSFS flyer nearby! I would be willing to fiddle a bit w/ installation but my main goal is to get control over how many planes are affecting performance and this is based on the assumption that less traffic would make a difference, and I'm not 100% certain it will. I say assumed because for example I just came into LOWW, a good 40 miles out and started seeing some degradation in performan…

I created a free utility that helps in taking automatic screenshots and saving to disk. I needed that in order not only to automatically take screenshots but also to create timelapse videos. If you have FSUIPC running , it can also move the Drone camera before taking a screenshot. Makes the creation of moving timelapses (hyperlapses) very easy. It’ s a freeware tool available for all of you. Find it here: https://www.estassinos.com/capturefs/

Per subject... What is the best way to set up drives for a new PC. My assumption is that a very fast 2TB drive with the OS and FS2020 (and any other programs) I want to run is going to be faster than other "dedicated" drives. Thoughts?

Hi! When I fly the Bell 407 the artificial horizon instrument aren't working. Is this a know bug? Toggle cage / uncage dosen't help.

NOVEMBER 24TH, 2022 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE Posted by: Microsoft Flight Simulator Team Screenshot by EPPRglider81 (Forum) To all our virtual aviators in the United States, we here at Microsoft Flight Simulator wish you a very happy Thanksgiving!

We’ll be back with a full blog post again next week. We continue to carefully monitor your feedback to the 40th Anniversary Edition and Sim Update 11. We have an ongoing public beta test to directly address s…

Hi all Any ideas why some, not all, of my AI aircraft look like this in the dark? I have AIG models. Happens when flying with online traffic, yet not with the FSLTL injector!

I've been poking around trying to figure out how to control the display brightness on some of the glass cockpits that don't currently have it, because as a number of folks have complained about they are way too bright at night. I've managed to do this with the TBM for starters. If you look in fs-base-aircraft-common/ModelBehaviorDefs/Asobo/GlassCockpit/AS3000.xml, you will see that a lot of the templates check for a USE_STATIC_SCREEN_EMISSIVE flag in a number of places, and if they see that just set the emission to a flat 0.5. And, sure enough, the interior model definition for the TBM has that scattered throughout. So, here's the dirty fix: edit asobo-aircr…

I saw this post over in the iniBuilds forums. Let them know we want a cargo version. I would love to see the A300-600F in UPS, DHL and FedEx colors. https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/5995-ready-to-buy-a-cargo-version/?do=findComment&comment=22632

Hi, Is there a good settings guide for MSFS? I'm starting to experience degradation in performance where its at a point my performance is better in P3D...this is understood since I'm adding more complex add-ons as I go. My main issue is not fps but stuttering/ pauses. I'm using an i7 9700K (not OCed) with a new 3080Ti (full spec ay my sig). Thanks for any help/guidance!

Hi all. I recently bought a new PC Intel I9 12 gen with the NVIDIA 4090 card, I am still on Win 10 pro. If I select DX12 and the frame gen thingy I get Crash to Desktop after about 30 min of flying. It seams to be not dependent on aircraft or location etc. If I revert to DX11 all is stable but not quite as smooth! Any suggestions of what might be causing the Crash? Or is this just something I need to expect as DX 12 is still Beta? Thanks in advance if you can help. Best wishes. Bob

Welcome Project Stratosphere - iniBuilds Store - YouTube In the video they show the aircraft passing bellow some bridge, which is usually known to cause problems with MFS's CFD calculations (?). Maybe they found the way to overcome such problems? The aircraft looks really cool, and although nt my beach, I might get it as soon as possible!

I've always wondered about this. I guess it is a case of poetic license to allow you to see planes from farther away? Here's zoomed out: Same plane, now zoomed in.

I haven't had much time to continue to explore this addon, but it is now in the very 1st place among the few I have for MFS. Last night spent around 30 min with the Fenix testing a few more scenarios, with rewarding results 🙂 I'd say it is really rewarding and I look forward into updates & fixes that can make it even better, but overall, and maybe because not being a professional and thus not being able to have a more effective view over eventual bugs / limitations, shadows some of those quirks, the few I see are acceptable provided they continue to improve. Performance wise it is great too, and although I am yet to try the GPU rendering mode ( I've ado…
