Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

(Sorry about the hype, I just promised myself I would do that if I ever learned how to make an airport with the SDK, and here's my first one) 😁 At long last, when you groovy hep-cats find yourself looking for a swank place to land and gas up when in Northern California, you now have the option of enjoying buildings and more-or-less accurate hangar layouts instead of an empty expanse of concrete and asphalt at the famous O16 Garberville Airport. It's located, oh, about 12-15 miles or so inland of Shelter Cove as the crow flies. Situated on the winding banks of the south fork Eel River, it provides a challenging approach amid hilly and mountainous terrain. I'v…

So with this new update, should we be running DX12? I am not sure what the benefits would be and am curious what everyone is experiencing. In the previous update, I was told not to use it.

Maybe I missed it but how do find liveries with the Scimitar winglets?

SEPTEMBER 22ND, 2022 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE Posted by: Microsoft Flight Simulator Team Screenshot by ukaka5656 (Twitter) The long-awaited Sim Update X has been out for a day now, and we are paying close attention to your feedback. If you missed the initial announcement, you can click here to see the release notes, and you can comment and vote in our forum polls here. Once again, we thank everyone who helped test Sim Update X over the last ten weeks. Speaking of beta testing, moving forward we will be handling the transition in and out of our betas a little bit differently. In short, beta users will remain in the beta testing group…

When trying to plan the pushback and I hit control scroll out the plane disappears and I can’t place it. Come on a 55 inch TV not sure if that makes a difference. Any ideas

This is interesting. We've all seen these, and know that clicking OK is the MSFS equivalent of pulling the ejection seat handle... Well, I figured why not just slide it off to monitor #2 and keep flying. What can go wrong, right? So far, so good. I went right by TOD, so I put thew Fenix into a hold to lose a couple of thousand feet. I'm about 45 miles from TD. Everything is working fine. I'll update after (if) I get to the gate and deboard. I wonder what it couldn't read?

Hi all, I just installed SU10, and tried the new Multi Windows "Experimental" function on my three 27" monitors, one centered and two beside at 45° each one. The problem is, that when I find the perfect setup and applied it, if I close the simulator, at the next startup the Multi Windows setup is disappeared and I need to rebuilt my two extra windows. Do you know if this is due to the temporary experimental state of this feature or it's a problem of mine? Thank you. Mauro

Let me start by saying I have had no problem with the C172 autopilot for the last 2 years, but now suddenly it won't follow a course to the VOR or intercept an ILS or glideslope. So I'm roughly at the correct heading and altitude to intercept the ILS and glideslope from slilghtly below with the correct frequency set on the Garmin 530 with VLOC set with autopilot set to APR and nothing happens. The same when it is set to NAV. I've cleared my community folder in case something there was interfering but still the same issue. Have there been any changes in the operation of the autopilot/Garmin 530 or is there a bug since SU10? Anyone had this problem or suggest…

I was flying at 1000 ft. across the Block Island Sound north of Long Island in my Diamond DA62, and a large airliner came so close that my plane shook violently from side to side. I continued only for a minute or so and went out of the room to tell my wife what happened. Came back in a minute and my plane was laying flat on it's back in the water. I used the slew key and rose it back up to try to continue my flight. At about 300 feet I was hit from the side with this plane and again fell into the water. I can't believe this happened, but this is no joke. It did. I have aircraft damage disabled and have come in contact with planes on the ground and it just slices rig…

Here is Yvetot airport created by Yves P. Yvetot Baons le Comte is a civil aerodrome for restricted use located in Normandy. Unpaved runway, 700 x 50m, QFU 09/27 with a tarmac acceleration strip included in the grass strip. The A/A frequency is 123.50. Night VFR not approved. https://www.simvol.org/en/downloads/airports/yvetot

Black Square started a very cool series with the revision of the steam gauge for the default aircraft. The Grand Caravan was the first, and now the King Air. A wide variety of navigation equipment that users can configure in the King Air. These include options like TDS GTN 750 and PMS50 and a full selection of Collins, Bendix and Garmin avionics. The expected price will be $ 38.99/ € 33.95, it is not cheap... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvRniHvnzX0 Sorry I don’t know how to insert a video.

FSX simmers know that it favored Intel systems. Is it now true, given the attention to XBOX, that we should be buying AMD computers? Note: I have a 5900x system and it runs MSFS like a champ. sp

Does anyone know if there is a good quality (and stable), DA 42 equipped with a standard G1000 (not the NXi version) available for MSFS? Thank you, Brian

Bought the Chancellor Cessna 414 AW from simmarket couple of months ago. I am trying to uninstall it through their automated process, but no links or anything Currently my VFR map when I am flying is not working, its all blurred out. This is the addon that I think that is causing my problem with the map./ So what am I missing as far as uninstalling the product, u can't go to control panel and then program to uninstall it, must go thru simmarket to uninstall , but something I am missing I know a lot of u bought this plane,so please help me on how to uninstall it, since I bought it through simmarket

Can anyone with a decent AMD GPU such as 6800 or 6900XT feed back on how SU10 is performing? I’ve read mixed reports in the past of AMD GPUs offering good frame rates but not as smooth as NVIDIA. I’m contemplating a switch for the extra vram so any input would be much appreciated.

Its becoming very clear to me that not all Airports are optimized for DX12 and or DLSS iam getting terrible perf at alot of them 😕

Personal experience. I bought this a couple weeks back and am very impressed with it. For me this has added greatly to the msfs. I use real world weather when in msfs. In my area we've had some real interesting weather the last couple weeks and it has been present in the sim courtesy of REX - much better than the msfs wx. Based on my experience I suggest having a look at this product.

Airplane Heaven have announced that the release of their DHC-1 Chipmunk is "imminent" which I'm thinking means we may see it tomorrow. To go with this they've put up a store page with a mass of screenshots and also released the manual (the full plane will also come with the real world guide). Frankly it's AH so I don't hold out that much hope for this being great, but if there was ever a plane I was hoping they wouldn't mess up it would be this one...

After using the keyboard as my controller for the last few decades, I've bought a Logitech Flight Yoke System, which includes a throttle quadrant. The throttle has an area where you can pull it down below idle, I assume it's supposed to activate the reversers. But I can only get the engines to go to idle, then I have to use the keyboard command to deploy the reversers. Can anyone tell me what is required to set these up so I cab use the throttle control instead?

I’ve got a weird one here with the PMDG 737-800. “Reset Cockpit View” should result in a view looking out the pilots side windshield. I have it mapped to button 2 on my joystick. I also should have this view when clicking “Fly” in the sim. I was flying last week, still on SU9. In flight when pressing the button to reset the view instead of looking out the windshield it points down to the pilots control column under the yoke. Prior to takeoff and through most of the flight it worked correctly but the view when clicking Reset changed while enroute. From that point on, when clicking Fly to get started it defaults to looking at the control column. This happens ONLY with …

I noticed that my AIG aircraft wheels are sunk into the ground. Sometimes to the point you cannot even see the wheels. These are at default airports. I take it is an elevation issue? Is this just something we live with nowadays?

Hi, im experincing no touch down effect on my buttkicker with an external sound card , sim shaker for aviators ,sim shaker sound module and fsrealistic in msfs2020, am i missing sometime ? pls help , sorry for poor english...

anyone got any ideas why i always have to apply Left Rudder on every take off regardless on wind/slope/ or if i only have one shoe on drives me mad, could it be related to P torque on a prop which I never fly only the Fenix ?

I was wondering if anyone who is trying out using 3 monitors could tell me what physical placement you are using? Do you have the side monitors at 60 degrees or at 90 degrees from the centre one? Thanks, Bill
