Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

SWS is working directly with Pilatus to bring a PC12 and PC12NG to the sim. (the latter probably well into 2023 due to nature of avionics) Info from their Discord: Pilatus PC-12: We recently signed a licensing agreement with Pilatus Aircraft to bring their PC-12 to Microsoft Flight Simulator! Our current plan is to make two PC-12 releases: one will be the PC-12/47 which will come with a mixed glass/steam cockpit. Our goal is to have the aircraft out towards the middle of the year, built to the same standard as the Kodiak. The second would be the Pilatus PC-12NG with a fully-fledged custom glass cockpit, but due to the code work required, this is going to come…

Diving into the Fenix A320 after setting it aside because we have no real world airliner traffic in the sim. I decided to give it a shot after finding the FBW A320 won't load in the sim no matter what version you use and the default A320's APU button won't work. The Fenix A320 works perfect with the exception of getting the flight plan into the sim. On the main page I don't know what 'HOPPIE ACARS Code' is and where to find it. Any help would be much appreciated. I know I'm late on this.

Check out "Traffic in Sight" on the SimMarket. It really makes flying so much more interesting. I departed Boston for a VFR flight. Encounterd helicopters, a Hot Air Balloon, some sky divers, other aircraft, etc.

Hey everyone, just redownloaded MSFS and I was trying to fly around and I noticed that my FPS is super low, like 20 fps with a 12 fps 99%. My specs are: CPU: i5-11600K RAM: GSKILL 32GB DDR4 3200MHz MB: ASUS Prime Z590-A GPU: EVGA 3070 Ti Storage: Samsung 980 Pro According to the developer mode, I'm GPU limited, but the GPU is barely being used, about 30-40%. CPU is also not being used that much, max core usage was 50% at any given time. I'm really scratching my head since it looks like MSFS isn't using all of my hardware and I don't know why. And yes, my display driver is updated.

was hoping for Eham, my home airport, but anything from FLYTAMPA will do FlyTampa - Berichten | Facebook

According to https://flightsim.to/file/15033/toolbar-pushback, new update has just been released: So it seems this update will hopefully fix the performance degradation issues that some of us are having.

Two reasons, 1) based on my experience with FSX Steam, and 2) because I don't use XBox and have no plans to ever play games on console devices. I already had a PC, so for me, I preferred to keep it simple by sticking with desktop and laptops. I opened an account on Steam before P3D v4 came out, and when I kept getting data errors re-installing FSX after buying a 2nd copy of the retail versions of FSX on CDs (maybe it was DVDs?). Coincidentally, Steam happened to have a version of FSX Steam on sale at that time too. For about $7.00. It was a no brainer. Btw, today, as of June 2022 FSX Steam is on sale again. This time for $4.99. FSX Steam for $4.99 - The Bargain …

I seem to remember mention of Orbx doing some improvement work on this model, but haven't seen anything since. Was there an upgrade of the original release, and if so, what was done ?

Hi, I am about to purchase the NZ mesh from ORBX. I would like to ask if there is any incompatibility problem with other sceneries such as Inibuilds Queestown that I own or Flightbeam Wellington which I would like to purchase. Edit : my bad, I found compatibility information on Flightbeam and Inibuilds website. It is compatible. Thanks, Pierre

Hi. I'm having a strange set of issues with AIG controller (alpha version for msfs) and seeking guidance. 1) the option to "inject traffic" is not active after I start the program. If things work, it's because they just start. 2) things don't work consistently. Sometimes I start it up, and traffic just appears. sometimes it doesn't. but almost every time, the program quits after a certain amount of time, and traffic just disappears. As I said, I've got the latest versions of msfs and AIG. I downloaded the unstable version because it said that was compatible with msfs... brand new high end comp, windows 11.. any ideas greatly appreciated.

Is there somewhere a list with all photogrammetric areas in MSFS? thanks,

Just a reminder that this is out there, and might be of use to some unhappy with the current UI https://flightsim.to/file/22352/ms-fs-2020-modern-ui-2-0

Hi Just landed Rwy 19 in Aerosoft Mega Brussels Airport when vacating at C5 there was a triangular UFO moving over the airport, Anyone else seen this? please tell me I am not going crazy as I haven't seen any topic on this forum regarding the above. wasn't thinking I should of took screen shot.

Wonder if the Steam version enables one to use the MS account previously used with the MS Store version. I am done with the xBox cross-install nuisances and have considered going Steam for good. This will enable me to buy XP12 and MFS from the Steam account ( created fresh just for those two 🙂 ) Question is: since I have my settings and achievements connected to my MS account, I wonder if I can then login in the Steam-based purchase with that account ? P.S.: I really need to feel the unique experience of uninstalling XP12 nd MFS from Steam, which I never did ... 🤣

My own answer is no. The only animals I've encountered were those I deliberately sought to find.

Hi my MSFs freezes loading flight less than half way through. The bar and text at the bottom of the screen quit moving. It seems to do this when I load the Ercoupe or Cri Cri twice. (Freezes on the second loading of plane) anyone have any suggestions. I Reinstalled the Ercoupe same problem.

Hi I've been trying to get the LNAV to follow my FMC, however it does not. I have everything programed in even with the VNAV restrictions. Autopilot on, both FD on, Auto Throttles on, LNAV and VNAV on but it will not follow the path and I have to end up using heading hold for all my legs. Any idea what's going on?

I used to be able to have my spoiler axis assigned to a lever on a spare throttle quadrant as it was nice to control the spoiler via an analog lever so you could let out the spoilers as much or little as needed. However, this now causes the sim to crash whenever applying spoilers. Probably happened in an update but I'm not sure when as not all aircraft have spoilers. Is there any fix or is it now a known bug to be addressed? LouP

New tutorial on Simvol written by Pacha35 and TSU: ACARS (CPDLC) with the Hoppie server https://www.simvol.org/en/articles/tutorials/acars-cpdlc-hoppie-server

So as I fly out of Cairo, now at my cruise of FL370 heading to Kuwait I marvel (and forget) at just how much of the world I have never seen (simulated). My hops usually are focused on UK, Mainland Europe, Scandinavia, New Zealand and USA. But honestly the view out the window as I fly over the desert just reminds me how beautiful this sim is, and how much there is to explore!

Hi all, I am glad to present to you this major update on the BD-5J by AzurPoly on my own scenery over Cuba as James Bond 🙂 I know that the octopussy scenes were shot in England as well as in the Utah but the main theme is Cuba. This AzurPoly update brings improvements on the textures as well as the flight model. The piloting sensation is unique and its maneuverability disconcerting. All my sceneries are free. Behind each of my sceneries there is dozen hours of work, i'm just asking you to support me ^^

Hi, I want to uninstall the Just Flight Piper Warrior 2, in order to install a new version just released. The original install was through an automatic installer but I don't find the program in Control Panel > Programs and Features. So I have to do it manually through the Community folder?

Has anyone else noticed that some days there is live traffic all over , and other days to see another aircraft is very rare? Seems like it gets switched on and off.
