Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

What wonderful plane is the Pelican ! Holds more fuel in its tanks than 500 jerrycans ! Fast as a streak, an hour to fly a week... ...and I don't see how in the hellitcan !

Hey guys , so i have not been on my sim for quite some time as I moved to the other side of the world. but anyways I ran the latest update, installed AIG traffic. Proceeded to go into options and check the settings advised by the tutorial to have ai traffic set to AI Online. But the only option I have is either ai offline or off…. any idea as to why that is ?? am I missing something ? thanks mike

What were Microsoft and the aircraft manufacturer thinking? Microsoft has the wrong aircraft for MSFS scenery. The DA42 has superior cockpit views compared to the DA62, but the DA62 is the default aircraft for MSFS. There are also more DA42s. The DA42's first flight was in 2002 and over 600+ have been produced. The DA62's first flight was in 2012 and only over 100 have been manufactured.

I use a Xbox controller for drone camera control. I have the A button set to Toggle Drone which has always worked. I press it to go into drone mode and press it again to go back to cockpit camera. After SU10, this stopped working this way. If I press it from cockpit view it will go to drone mode. But if I press it again it stays in drone mode and will not return to cockpit view. If I use the Insert key on the keyboard it works correctly to enter and exit drone mode, just no longer on the xbox controller. Anyone else having this issue or know a fix?

Hi All, I really enjoy the 414AW Chancellor in MSFS2020, however I've discovered that my left engine Prop RPM suddenly drops to ~10% whenever I resume the flight after pressing 'escape' to go to the game menu. This happens consistently. Any idea why this is happening and how it can be prevented? -Todd PC System Specifications: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor 3.80 GHz RAM: Ripjaws V Series DDR4 PC4-25600 3200 MHz 32GB Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti XC3 Ultra Gaming Hard Drive: SanDisk PLUS 1TB Internal SSD

Just stared MSFS and in the airport menu after choosing my airport I got this message : Data tab : I am living in the Netherlands. Anyone else having this too ?

In FSX you could switch on progressive taxi, after ground clearance to taxi to the active. As I am taxiing, an instruction window pops up saying to follow on screen navigation?? FSX had the yellow arrows..Am I missing something? Thanks!

I've always used a 30 inch Samsung monitor for flight sims but now with MSFS 2020 would a 32 inch curved screen be a better choice vs the flat screen? For those pilots that have a curved screen for MSFS I would like to hear what you think about it. I don't have MSFS yet but going to purchase it soon.

I posted about this problem before. You get a dialog at each start of the flight saying that an error on your graphics card occurred and you should switch off overclocking and get recent drivers. My workaround now is to disable the scenery cache completely. No CTD after that change.

Hi All, Just a quick one I mainly fly the Fenix and the FBW A32NX the button I mapped in the settings to my Joystick to disconnect the autopilot i.e. for landing disconnects the autopilot but then the master caution continues to sound Can someone kindly tell me which which setting\key do I need to map to my joystick to disconnect the autopilot and get the correct sound without having to click the master caution button each time I disconnect the autopilot. Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance. Thanks Daz

WIN11 22H2 update now available for some PC’s. Took about one hour to download and install on one of my PC’s. Not yet available for my second PC. PC may restart several times after install.

Is there any discussion of a 3rd Party sound package addon for the Maddog? The main reason I don't fly it is because the sound is horrible. Based on this Forum, it sounds like the developer is not very active on updating, so I wondered if any 3rd party groups are giving it a go. Thanks, Dave

Good news! The release of FSLTL gives PSXT users the possibility to let PSXT work with the FSLTL models, either solely or even better together with the AIG models. Download the FSLTL base models. Run PSXT, push the Liveries button, and you will get 1977 extra liveries, also a few GA. Make sure you run PSXT at least twice, MSFS has to build up info about the FSLTL liveries. At the first run you will get a lot of "cannot be created …" messages. They will disappear at the second run of PSXT with FSLTL.

Hello guys, when ORBX LOWI for MSFS came out, there were some comprehensive reviews comparing both renditions and at that point and ORBX had somehow the upper hand. Since then, MSFS had some updates for the region (World Updates) and also some smaller updates for the airport itself. Can anybody tell at this point (after SU10) if ORBX rendition of LOWI would make sense (add more detail to the region and airport)?

Randazzo said the PMDG 737 Max could come as early as the PMDG 777 cycle. I think he said something like when PMDG is dropping the 777 variants, a 737 Max could possibly appear around then. The 737 Max could also appear in the PMDG 747 cycle. Randazzo was being a little vague on when PMDG would drop the 737 Max because I assume, he is aware of the iFly 737 Max coming to MSFS so perhaps he wants to keep iFly on their toes. You can listen to Randazzo talk about the 737 Max in the interview with Sky Blue Radio from a few days ago. Just go to around the 21 minute mark in the video: https://pod.co/sky-blue-radio/jt-welcomes-robert-from-pmdg-to-his-show-9-9

OK, so I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is an issue with MSFS, Pro ATC/SR or if I'm just going mad! I've been doing some flights out of RJTT, Tokyo Haneda airport, and earlier I was given runway 04 as a departure. But when I look on the in sim map in Pro ATC SR there is no runway 04. All the taxiways that link to it are there, but the runway itself isn't. I've tried re-reading the scenery in Pro ATC, I've even tried downloading an updated RJTT from flightsim.to and then re-importing the scenery in Pro ATC, but every time I end up with no runway on the map. It's there in the sim if you taxi to the end of it, just not on the map and I thought that was generated…

Hi All, Was after peoples thoughts on purchasing stuff from Marketplace Icon? I've just downloaded some free stuff which where to world updates, but wasn't sure on Airports and wondered what people thought? Thanks Jason

I have updated the Fenix to the latest version but still get the error in the FMS about Nav Ugrade or something to that effect. Any ideas?

This is the first time I have seen this in MSFS. Reminds me of the discrepancy along state lines with Megascenery Earth in FSX, where neighboring states were processed into scenery on different dates. This is flying \west to east over central Illinios today. This MSFS discrepancy was from horizon to horizon. No clue what is going on here. Took time in flight to empty my cache and allow it to rebuild. Made no difference. Anyone have an answer?

Not sure why, but my controller handle spoiler on the PMDG 737 is just jumping in and out of its rest position. Linked to an axis and controlled through my Hotas throttle setup - it has worked perfectly until now. Have used alternative controls on the keyboard, but not yet found the answer. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I just want to say, the clouds in SU 10 live weather are the best clouds yet. They are absolutely amazing! From what I understand, all the clouds types were always there in MSFS, but only if you used pre-set weather - people complained that the clouds types were lost, but they were actually there in pre-set weather, just not live weather. But in SU 7 when Asobo integrated METAR with live weather, that was when most of the cloud types were lost in live weather, leading to mostly cumulus clouds in SU 7. Gradually, Asobo has been adding back the cloud types in successive Sim Updates, culminating with SU 10, which is the best version of live weather yet with the most varia…

One of those funny WWII training films.

Hotfix AVAILABLE NOW. A sidenote, flaring should be more comfortable than the pre-hotfix version, as the reprofiled drag helps the aircraft with it's energy state in the flare. Feedback welcomed. [SYSTEM] - Revised logic for ground spoiler retraction, ground spoilers now retract when thrust levers are at or above 20 degrees, facilitating safer post-bounce go-arounds. - Tuned Autoland - Fixed engine idle EWD and associated signals for APPR IDLE segments - Improved option save reliability (this seems to still be dodgy, we're working on it) - Added PLD support, phased lift dumping, to support partial spoiler extension in certain landing scenarios …

To my flights from community, I need some help here with my computer. With sim update 9 my PC was running absolutely amazing, now with Sim update 10 my PC is struggling and keeping frames at a certain level. Now my PC will stay at 30 frames most of the time, however when panning left and right it dips down to like 20 frames then it jumps back up to 30. Back of the days that you should not do this, it'll stay fairly at 30 maybe dip down a 28. I've noticed at almost any Airport even with very very light traffic when I'm panning there goes dips down to 20 maybe even 15, then seconds later back to 30. I tried dx12, dx11, setting sliders down a bit more than what I even had in…

I know some folks complain about dirty/scratched windshield in MSFS. Here’s display of perfectly clean windshield. My only possible fix - deal with it. Lol
