Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Hmmm, I prefer the older version... I get confused with the new controls, including the "Speed"... My pushbacks used to be so easy, and now it usually ends with the airbus rocketing accross one of the airport platforms 😕

Very cool free access which I just learned about. I did an Avsim-wide search and the URL did not pop up so perhaps it's not well known, or I input the search terms wrong, w/ KDEN entered: METAR of Denver International Airport, United States | KDEN (metar-taf.com)

I've been waiting for a good Cancun airport for a while now! https://maccosim.com/product/mmun-cancun-international-airport/ Looks great from the shots but I'll be doing a stream tonight to test it out! Thank you Macco for making Cancun!!

I decided to do some plane spotting at various airports today. I watched arrival after arrival but never saw one plane leave the gate. There was a label over every plane at the gate which I thought meant that it was going to leave. I watched for at least two hours and nothing ever left the gate. Why are only arrivals working and how can I fix it? Thanks

Hi all, I've just published my review of Macco Simulations' Cancun if you'd care to take a look! Brussels will be next, possibly soon, more likely the week after next. 🙂 Cheers, Alexis

Hi all, got hands on a RX 6900 XT and aiming to switch it for my 1080ti. Something special to consider here for MSFS? Like deleting a cfg as back in P3D days? Or should it just run? PS: I will do a proper installation via DDU of course...

Hi guys, Anybody worked out yet how to mow the grass on the grass airports? It's exceedingly long and highly unrealistic at that length. Dave

Hello! I want to make my flightplanning with LNM and use the MSFS ATC during flight. How can i use a LNM flightplan in the best and efficient way with MSFS so that ATC knows my flight, especially regarding SID and STARs? Aircraft for example the WT C25. As i dont know in this planning phase which runway i will use for takeoff and which runway to land at, i can not add SID and STAR at this time. My process currently: - Create the LNM plan from A to B (e.g. LSZH to EHAM, without SID and STAR) - save the plan in the LNM export format - export the plan to MSFS. Then go into MSFS: - load the flight (exported from LNM) …

I hope the high fidelity airline developers are paying attention to what MSFS users are saying about pricing. A lot of users for MSFS are not willing to pay the high prices for high fidelity airliners that was charged in P3D and XPlane, even if these users originally came from P3D and XPlane. The best way I would describe this is that the demand curve for high fidelity planes in MSFS has shifted left among the "hard core flight simmer market. However if you're a 3rd party developer working on a high fidelity plane, what you lose in a lower price, you easily make back though from the increased units you sell, because the MSFS market is that much bigger than before. So e…

I just installed the free Google Maps replacement for the Bing maps, and everything looks better to me, so I think I will keep using it. Does anyone know what happens when an update comes from MSFS? Do I have to re install the Google Maps? Thanks

IS this a driver issue or just Experimental issue? https://share.icloud.com/photos/0f6V1Np449btpc76iW-blcwCg

I've flied DME arcs before using VOR. However today I encountered something different. EGPH Edinburgh NDB ILS DME Rwy 24 uses the ILS (108.9 ITH) as a reference for the arc. How do I tune the RADNAV on the MCDU? I tried tuning the ILS freq as a VOR. When setting the ND to VOR I don't get the necessary information. I need to know certain radials - e.g. crossing the 284 radial is the fix for descending from 4000 to 3000ft. And crossing 260 is the point when turning to the final ILS course. Posting the approach plate would clarify a lot, but I'm using Navigraph and there's probably copyright issues. EDIT: Found one on VATSIM UK. I'll take the chance to post it he…

Having not been on Flight Simulator for several weeks, am not sure of the latest release of the RedWing Super Constellation. Can anyone bring me up to date? Thanks

No matter where in the world or at what altitude or weather condition (In real-time weather). ATC always reports the altimeter as 29.92. Haven't been able to get this to work for months. Used to work fine, I believe it was after an update (not sure which one). Not talking about the over 18000 ft. I'm getting online weather conditions. Just took off in a rain storm ATC reports 29.92. Am I missing some setting here?

Saint George Utah Municipal airport was a true airport in the sky. Recently replaced by a midsized airport SE of town, I'd luv to see the original Ala KCGX, Meigs. https://wchsutah.org/aviation/airport-muni.php ns

New GTN750 release today. PMS has been quite active. https://discord.com/channels/821149186229534731/847038799766880256 PSA: The last two versions of the Nxi cannot communicate with the GTN750 mod. A sync-fix file is required. IMO, it's EXTREMELY easy for anyone to miss the Discord post that specifies this. And just to clarify, this morning I received confirmation in the PMS Discord that the file is indeed still nesc.

Hi All! Just got this new update but the release notes are from the last SU9 Beta Update. Are you seeing this too?

Guys what should I be picking up in the MSFS Spring sale right now? Please give me your reviews urgently!

For those with the Twin Otter, has it matured enough to warrant a purchase, or are there still issues with sounds and features?

There is a new update today (04-14-2022), but it breaks the SU9 Beta and reverts to an older version with weird consequences! https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/weird-new-update-breaks-beta/510851

Hello everyone, Few hours ago, Microsoft Store players received a mandatory update. This update rolls back MSFS to the World Update 8 version while keeping some SU9 packages. This results in preventing players to properly experience the sim (fly button greyed out and other issues). While the team is investigating, we suggest Microsoft Store players not to update to the latest update. We will keep you informed as we are currently working on this. Thank you for your patience. The MSFS Team. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/beta-update-microsoft-store-version-update-issue/510866

Hi all, just purchased the Real Taxiways USA however I notice that the signs base are different BUT the signs itself seem still like the default style signs which are really bright and annoying. Any advice? Ive checked my mods and dont have any taxi sign mods installed besides this one.

Steam Version / TDS GTN 750xi /Bert's AP mod/Cessna 414A Flying the KOLM ILS or LOC Rwy 17 approach heading directly toward HOOME (iaf) at 5-miles at an angle of 30° to the final course of 176°. The approach is loaded but not activated. The flight plan shows the approach: HOOME (Jeppesen shows this as iaf) YIYSU (Jeppesen shows this as if) OPOYU (Jeppesen shows this as iaf) OLM Rwy 17 When I activate Vectors to Final the AP takes me to OPOYU instead of HOOME. Jeppesen shows OPOYU as an entry to the procedure (at 3300') with a back course to HOOME (2900') and then (I guess but don't see it) a 180° reversal at HOOME to the final course of 17…

As PSXT showed a message that the KLM 737-700 WL could not be made by the sim I looked into the AIG 737-700 WL folder and if I am correct the model name in the aircraft.cfg file is incorrect . Anyone if you guys who can confirm this ? Thanks !
