Hello fellow flight fans, Saw some pictures of beautiful black/dark grey cockpit textures in the 737. I cannot find any mod. I'd like to pimp the dull grey looks of the default ones. Thanks in advance Jozeff

Hi I'm sure I've done this in the past but - even after 3 complete uninstall and reinstalls of MSFS2024 (oh joy) - I CANNOT get MSFS2024 to change the location of the Community Folder. Steps taken: I reinstalled MSFS2024 onto an M2 drive (G:) This worked fine I then went into 'My Library' and clicked the gear wheel. I clicked modify for the Community Folder and chose the G: Drive folder It showed the new path and I hit confirm But nothing seemed to happen. When I rebooted the sim and went back there, it still had the C drive showing, but with a message saying: "Transfer is complete, restart MSFS2024 to finalize the process for the …

Little Red Riding Hood never liked market place in MSFS. She used it in MSFS 2020 but avoided it if possible because of file encryption, which made tweaking almost impossible. When 2024 came out, none of her 2020 purchases were transferred to 2024. And then there was the impossibility to opt out of credit card data being saved. Hence, Little Red Riding Hood never bought anything on the 2024 market place up until today. But today, the big bad wolf tempted her and offered a flight sim sale. Her resolve weakened: some items were deeply discounted, you only can get them on MP, and she really liked them. But luckily, Prince Microsoft came to the rescue. When her weak spir…

[EDIT: Resolved: Product had to be manually added to my account by Zendesk. Interesting to know for all MP users that this is a possibility] Here's a new one in the ever colourful world of Microsoft 🙁 Tonight I bought "Newquay Airport" by UK2000 from the MSFS 2024 Marketplace. Everything went through and I got the "It's yours!" notification. However it has not been added to My Library. It is nowhere to be seen, and when I view the product on the Marketplace, it says "Buy now!" as though I don't own it. I checked my email and have the Microsoft receipt and have 100% been charged. Has anyone ever had a similar experience with the Market…

No official post about yet, but the update and changelog is on the ini Manager. I'm already in a longhaul 777 flight, so I can't comment on it myself for a few hours.

Hello guys! I dont know if this is the correct place to ask this question, but the FBW Discord Logic doesnt let me join the server for some reason, so I decided to ask here. So the topic is: I read about the newest FBW A380 update here: https://fselite.net/content/flybywire-a380x-gets-new-update/ Apparently the currecnt version is 0.15.0 but my FBW Installer doesnt offer me the update. Thats the issue Id like to resolve, so I can update to the latest version. When I check the release notes within the FBW Installer it says latest version is 0.13.0 and thats the one I have installed, so no chance to update the A380 in the FBW installer. Does a…

Curious for those that have purchased the DOF H2 or H3, what model chair did you end up purchasing.. is it possible to put the buttkicker gamer pro on this setup as well? Im assuming the main unit of the h3 uses a usb or usb-c, any cable length limitations there or use an extender that is active/powered? For those that do VR, what about the situation where the main display is much further away, in my case the h3 sitting at the back corner of a 12x10 office, so i wont be near the main screen, how much of a pain does this become where you must fully rely on the goggle view of the desktop? (especially when it prompts for credentials)? Also, any real reasons to…

I may be late to the party on this. I have the 2020 version of this app for MSFS and it appears there were several updates up to 2022 but it is no longer available for download at Flightsim.to. Is it no longer available or can be found somewhere else (maybe there gas been a new replacement?). Clutch

I know these posts creep up regularly, and some may find them repetitive. (Sorry!). But I personally love to know what people's favourite birds are, right now. 😎 So please, go ahead and post your Top 3 of the moment! Payware, freeware, airliner, GA, anything goes! I'll start. I'm a GA guy but I'm sure the airliners will be along soon! :- 1). Black Square Bonanza Professional 2). Got Friends A32 Vixxen (despite the disappointing sounds) 3). A2A Comanche (Has been in my top 3 since it was released)

Which one of them are most demanding on the resources and fps? Even though I believe I have a decent Pc (see below) and can use ultra/high settings most of the time, I do have stutters when using the A380, so before I get tempted to buy the A350, it would be nice to know if it's even more demanding than the A380?

What a frustrating evening I'm having on 2024. I flew London to Rome, and over the Alps noticed really blurry, mushy terrain, dreadful. I quit the flight and tried some other airports and had the same thing. Blurry terrain. I tried reinstalling the sim, deleted community, deleted the MS2024 roaming appdata folder, and tried again, totally from scratch. Now I have been stuck all evening trying to load the sim. Gets to about 80%, slows down, and then on 97%, nothing. Just stuck. And the message "Loading taking unusually long. Report saved to loading.toml" Seeing as nobody else is reporting any outages I'm assuming this is my end. I am based …

I have watched a lot of streamers and I have seen a lot of airports since the release of MSFS 2020. But today, I saw what I think is RWProfiles Newcastle Airport for MSFS: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2614610173?t=01h57m26s I am gobsmacked by the quality and detail of some of the new MSFS airports these days - you can even see a faint blurred reflection off the waxed floor, I have no idea how they got that to work. A lot of custom airports that I own are the Canadian airports and those were developed several years ago by FSimStudios. So I know some of the FSimStudios airport I own are not up to the latest standard for 2025, but several years ago, they were may…

I recently had some issues with my pc and ended up doing a complete wipe of Windows and MSFS 2020. I reinstalled Windows, drivers, etc. with no issues. Then I got to MSFS. I'm installing just like I did the very first time, to a 500GB SSD (not my OS drive). I logged into the Microsoft Store, found the title and downloaded. Took just a short while. Then I fired up the sim for the first time, v1.39.9.0 and a 129GB update awaits, so I kicked it off. It's been running for hours today and it is currently sitting at 12.95GB downloaded. I have a 500Mbs service. Is it just me, or does something seem fowled up? I remember, some issues with downloading patches and updates…

Firstly, I am on the SU4 Beta. I have the sim setting turned on for third person walkaround. If I hit Esc and get the menu screen, I can see my avatar standing outside in that static image. However, as soon as I go back to the live image, I cannot find me anywhere. I can get some keyboard keys to cause movement but I don't see me moving around anywhere. Seems like I must have something simple not set right but I can't figure out what it is. Can anyone help me figure out what I may have wrong? Thanks.
