    I have three "alien" USB connected controllers that are not for flightsimming (a piano keyboard etc) How do I hide them from MSFS 2024 as they are present in my "controls" list

    Hi, been out for a while, does anyone have the Citation X working in the Beta? None of the screens are turning on when powered up. Thanks,

  4. The lighting looks very good in the evening and at night now: The creator of this video lists the settimgs,reshade, and other programs used here.

  5. Hi everyone, I’m dealing with a really strange issue in Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS). No matter what joystick I plug in — Thrustmaster TCA Airbus, Logitech X52, or any other — the POV Hat / Coolie Hat doesn’t work as expected. Instead of controlling the camera view, it acts like the arrow keys and navigates through the in-game menus (e.g. moving up and down between options). Here’s what I’ve already tried: Reset all control profiles to Default. Deleted all input profiles in the AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator folder. Uninstalled and reinstalled all joystick drivers. Removed all other connected devices (kept only one joy…

    I am sure I am making this harder than need be but could someone explain the Dynamic setting and how it relates to LOD in the sim. (SU4)

    What, among the following "business models" would you accept or even prefer, for the future of MSFS?

  8. Stability & Performance Fixed a crash occurring when switching Antialiasing Add new Multiplayer replication models option (High Fidelity/Simplified) Fixed an issue that could lead to out of memory General Bug Fixes Fixed HUD color randomly changing after flight restart Fixed an issue where the “Unbind” button in the input bar could be displayed after going through the “controls” menu Fixed an issue where the user had to be hovered on the text box in the multiplayer chat field to be able to type in it Missions Search & Rescue - Hoist (Rotorcraft) Fixed rescuer not going down while hovering over the target…

    I don't understand why TFDi haven't released this plane for 2024? It works fine as far as I can see? I've spent two days flying it without issue. There must be a reason but what is it?

    Hello. I’m having an issue with the Miltech Chinook in MSFS 2024, it won’t spawn cold and dark when I try to start outside of an airport (random scenery location). Every other helicopter I have can start cold and dark just fine in those same spots, but the Chinook always loads with engines running even with "engine shut down" pre set option. Is this just me, or has anyone else experienced the same problem? Thanks

  11. This one baffles me as it is consistent. Specs are Gigabyte Eagle AX Mobo AM5, 9800X3D, Gen 4 NVME 2TB, RTX 5080, TeamGroup 64GB Expo 1, 6000Mhz RAM, Corsair Tier 1 PSU @ 1000W. It's a new PC build, all drivers and BIOS are current. I can install and play MSFS 2024 and any other game, no problems. With MSFS 2020, I install the 2GB setup files from the XBOX App, launch MSFS for the next part of the installation process. It will download the large update, the screen changes right before you get to the Main Screen. At that point it locks up, then I get a CTD. I relaunch the game again, same thing happens. I tried installing it on my Gen 4 SSD C : drive with all default…

  12. I purchased the X-Codr KDEN scenery for MSFS24 via Orbx and after installing it to the Community folder the scenery doesn't show up in sim when I spawn at KDEN. I've disabled the Gaya and Asobo scenery that comes with 2024 but I just can't figure out why the new scenery won't show up. Any ideas?

  13. Hello, Since I use PSXT exclusively for AI traffic movements in MSFS, I'm interested in purchasing ATC Add-one that provides the best immersion possible for IFR-flying. By best immersion I mean realistic handling from Delivery to Parking at destination, proper dealing with vectors, assigning SID/STARs, ability for user to override instructions by requesting different runways/procedures. I guess that in the meantime I have to choose between BATC and FSHud, but if you have anything else in mind, please let me know. Again, handling AI traffic is outside the scope of my interests, as I have another software to for this purpose to deal with. Thank you, Dmitri…

    Just released today it looks like. I’ll be curious to see if this starts to gain traction and we see some more add-ons like this. Seems like a new developer too. Not personally a fan of simmarket so that’s a turnoff for me. I’ll admit though, I’ve always wanted to see this in the sim. Edit: To their credit - on their website is a trial version. Also looks like this isn’t technically a new developer from reading about their background. PILOT-CONTROLLED LIGHTING FOR MSFS2024

    Lisium Designs has a new airport out, Vilinus EYVI for both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. https://secure.simmarket.com/lisium-eyvi-vilnius-msfs2024.phtml Trailer: https://youtu.be/vjt0KRWMEzI?si=dn8GT3WOBI0WGK0d Thoughts about it? How does it compare to the M'M Simulations EYVI? Personally, I enjoyed Lisuim Design's previous Liepāja EVLA and Riga EVRA airports.

  16. I'm gradually getting on top of this aircraft, in particular landing it, especially with the help of FSI Panel. However in career mode, where I do most of my flying, if the flight plan involves a teardrop approach (and in the cargo missions I do that's most of them) I almost invariably have at best a hard landing and expensive repairs even with full insurance but worse still more often than not fail the mission. I have no problems with teardrop approaches with the other two aircraft I use, Cessna 172 and increasingly Cessna 400. However, the 208 being much bigger I find much less responsive in pitch and roll, and also with the turbine engine the throttle re…

  17. AirJB is a lightweight desktop tool that lets you control Microsoft Flight Simulator using your mouse no hardware yoke or joystick needed. It’s built for simmers who want a quick, simple way to fly, whether you’re learning, traveling, or just don’t want to set up full gear. Key Features Mouse-controlled aileron, elevator. Overlay Mode (stays active while MSFS is focused) One-click connection & instant control Smooth input for realistic handling its a standalone app no external things to download heres the download link below https://flightsim.to/file/98739/airjb-mouse-controlled-virtual-joystick-msfs

  18. Don't know if anyone else has experienced this with the Inibuilds A350, im finding that at around 200 feet before landing, my simulator becomes a stutter fest. It remains this way until I close the sim down. I get absolutely no problems departing or during the flight. It's just the last 200 feet or so before landing and the taxi in. Doesn't matter how busy the airport is or how long the flight is, I get the same problem on each flight. I've only recently picked up the A350, so it's a little disappointing that I haven't really been able to have a decent go at landing it yet.

    Many places suffer from this lack of quality control at ASOBO.

    One of those wishlist items that many people have been pushing Asobo to implement is pilot controlled lighting. So far nothing came of it in the default sim So 3rd Party Payware to the rescue: https://veroroutes.com/

  21. Hi all, built‑in ATC in MSFS is limited, and most AI ATC add‑ons are commercial and cloud‑hosted. We’re building OpenSquawk, a free, open‑source AI ATC that runs entirely locally. Speech‑to‑text, decision logic and text‑to‑speech all run on your machine, so there are no recurring server costs and no subscriptions. Our prototype listens to your push‑to‑talk, applies real ATC phraseology and gives dynamic instructions back via realistic synthetic voices. It currently supports MSFS via SimConnect; X‑Plane support is planned. We’re looking for sim pilots to test the closed alpha and give feedback. If you’re interested in a free, offline AI ATC alternative, join…

    Is anyone else getting excessive glideslope warnings with the PMDG 777, even when you are virtually bang on the glideslope all the way down to touchdown? It has happened three times to me over the weekend. I have just landed at (Pyreegue) EGPF Glasgow, and I had a couple after passing through 100 feet when I was perfectly stabilised and on track

    Something strange happenned to my install yesterday, it was rather slow, like never before, so I decided to reinstall FS 2024 and all is fine now, but I also decided not to install ** any ** external stuff, well, other than the Navigraph database updates... All is now what I purchased from the Marketplace or default. I would like to convert my PMDG Purchases as well as iFly and even FSLabs to the Marketplace, but it's not yet possible I guess? Same with Inibuilds 350 - would rather have it in my Lybrary than having to manage it from the Inibuilds Manager. I also have that World Trees height mod, and that's about all... For the time being and although I may …

    Can someone please let me know what I need to do to get this mod to work with the PMDG 737? Install it to the Community folder, and it will automatically work? Install it to the Community folder, and then copy the relevant texture files to the relevant PMDG folders?
