Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Hello Gang! Is Asobo aware that the haze needs to be addressed? I just took a circuit flight around KDFW where super clear skies dominate the day today and I felt I was flying around New Delhi or Beijing - I could barely see out the window with all that unrealistic haze/smog. Granted, I rather have unrealistic haze that lightning in clear skies, but this needs to be looked at.

Hello, Still having issues with the AP. I had flown for a couple of hours with no issues at 36000 and then out of nowhere the AP disengage, engine power drop, and lost of altitude. Couldn't re-engage the AP, couldn't increase power or gain altitude. MSFS was telling me to press control + e to start engines. I don't know why if the engines are on. I also notice that the co-pilots screens had no images. I wonder what's still causing this issue. I did uninstalled msfs and reinstalled it, I make sure the community folder was empty before installing the A32NX, I have no other add-ons inside the community folder, could it be my throttles acting up?? I have cali…

I've created a Model Matching file (see below) where 1 blank/white livery is used for every Callsign vPilot can't find an installed livery. For example, for every 757 which isn't logged in on VATSIM with a real life ICAO airline code, vPilot uses AIGAIM_ASL Airlines Belgium Boeing 757-200 - RR SF as type-specific default model. This 757 is just perfect as default model for any 757s, 'cause it's 100% white and neutral. AIGAIM_Georgian Airways Boeing 737-700WL - White (4L-TGO) is also perfect for all B737-700s since it hasnt got any coloured paint on it's tail and no lettering on the belly. I tried to determine just by the model name which …

Ok I have to admit to being totally confused as to when to turn on approach mode during an ILS landing with the DC6. I have watched a few YT videos now and there seem to be various methods. Some people wait until the glide slope needle starts to move before they engage it and others turn it on before they vector onto their final approach coarse. I have had intermittent success with both methods. Sometime it will work and sometimes it will totally fail.Is there a "proper" way to do it?...or should it even make any difference? What are other people doing? Sorry if its a noob question but I'd really like to get consistent results with this. Thanks.

Hi, I didn't want to buy on marketplace on the fsdt website they only have the version for P3D and MSFS for 22 Euros. In Marketplace it's only 9,99. Is there a way to get directly from FSDT or other shop with the discount?

Could someone experienced in the Spitfire please tell me what is the best engine, prop and mixture setting to get the maximum cruise distance from the Spitfire MKIa?

ok just recently noticed this and can't believe its took me this long. Let me explain, every aircraft in terms of elevator control works perfectly with my HOTAS Warthog joystick. However I've just noticed if I go to external cam and pull the joystick back the elevator actually pushes forward. When I push full forward on the stick, the elevators points up to the sky? Shouldn't this be the other way around? Like I said the actually aircraft responds correctly. Now weird thing is when I go into my settings I have "Reverse Axis" ticked (a ha I thought). If I untick this the visual model of the elevator is correct (on external cam) but when I push forward on my…

Since relocating in March and building a new machine there has been one problem after another. MSI/AMD bios, WHEA Uncorrectable errors Artic liquid CPU cooler failing 6700xt overheating and noise issues Gigabyte monitor suddenly dying Display port cable causing glitches Hopefully this all behind now. I have a new 3080 Ti. Looking forward to the Pmdg 737 and other new addons.

I'll admit that I'm new to the PC6, not only in MSFS but I've also never own one in all my previous flight sims, but every time I fly that plane I've to apply full left rudder on the runway just to keep the plane centered when taking off. Is that normal procedure with PC6 or is someting wrong here? I've the TPR rudder pedals and have not this problem with any other GA plane. I've also checked the sensitivty setting and they are ok. Sure the amount of left rudder I need to apply vary with every plane, but having to apply full left rudder just to barely keep the plane centered seems weird to me.

I saw a Black Friday offer of a HP Omen PC with a Ryzen 5900x CPU, RTX 3080 and 32GB of 3200 (possibly downclocked by HP to 2600mhz from what I read) for "only" CHF 2000 (Swiss Francs) which is approximately just under the equivalent of $2000. Seems like a pretty good deal on the surface but I need advice. Here's the thing, I recently bough a pre-build a couple of months back that I returned. I was from a different manufacturer and had a 10700kf and also an RTX 3080. I experienced lots of stuttering in MSFS with that setup (long pauses and constant micro-stutters), and as a result complained to the manufacturer who eventually accepted that I return it. That part…

G'day all, I've flown this aircraft a number of times in MSFS and have only one major issue that I wonder if anyone else has encountered. After Startup/Taxi/Takeoff/Climb and Cruise all go ok, disconnecting the Autopilot causes both throttles to be completely unresponsive. I can't move them at all with my hardware external throttles and moving them with the mouse doesn't change anything at all as far as engine performance/RPM/Output is concerned. All the other controls work as normal but landing is more exciting than it should be! Would be grateful for any help as it is a fun aircraft and I'd like to get more use out of it. …

For various reasons I've almost stopped using MSFS but are holding out for widebody aircraft. I keep it updated and every so often go in a update A320NX and check out what's changed.. Some weird stuff is happening can anyone help with these? Why do i get a compass, airspeed, engine %, flaps all the time Why do I get what appears to be pins all over the landscape? Why do i get auto ATC which includes auto push back even if it don't want it or am not ready

Those dark green fields that are holding places for golf courses are getting very unsightly. More noticeable with the influx of payware airports from the black Friday sales. Regards, Ray

My friend and I have been flying together since the sim debuted, at least once every week or two. It seems to have gotten harder and harder to do so. Last year I could see him and his plane livery no problem. Then I couldn’t see his livery any longer, then we started having trouble seeing each other, and lately it is completely hit or miss. Just today we flew as a group with All Players and saw each other fine during the flight but then after about 20min I would disappear for him then he would disappear for me but the whole time one of us could still see each other. We landed and switched to Group Only and from that point on I couldn’t see him at all but he could always s…

Can anyone point me in the Assist Options Menu, to the Revert Back To Previous SU.x Version feature? Which section is it under...I can't seem to find it. I had a PERFECT application of MSFS with SU6--->...FPS was great, no major in your face bugs, blowouts, and CTD's. Just great simming... Thanks in advance...my gawd, it has got to be on that Assist Option page SOMEWHERE. My aging eyes can't seem to nail it.... Ses

I was going to buy this in the sale. Pretty sure it was in the marketplace at one time but now it's not for some reason which makes me suspicious. I can only find it on Simmarket. Is it any good?

Hello al, Well, l have just had my flightsim computer repaired and uninstalled/re-installed MSFS2020. The following problems exist after that lengthy process. 1. changed everything in assistance options from easy to hard. - Sorted 2. I now have no access to my taskbar in non VR flight. A suggestion in a previous topic was that I reset the taskbar in order to access it in VR (I can actually access it in VR but I cannot mouse click on anything) From that point of view, it would seem to be a hopeless loop in that I can not access it in non VR to change anything and in VR, which I can access, I cannot activate anything. 3. The haze, which is…

I have submitted several Zendesk tickets to request update/corrections to airport gate assignments. I have numerous default airports that have a lot of GA aircraft parked at gates of major airports. In FSX I knew how to “edit” airport data so that the correct type of aircraft were the only ones that could park at certain gates and also control the size of the gate area. Is there a relative easy way to “edit” airport gate characteristics (similar to what we could do in FSX) to make these changes since the issue is obviously very low on the Asobo list to correct the airports with these issues? Thanks for any and all advice or suggestions…

The end key has topped working on my keyboard to change external views, going from cockpit to outside view and vicer versa. I have been using fs 2020 since last year and never had a problems with the end key until this current update #7 I tried another key board that I had and the same problem, end key did not work. The num lock key is off by the way, any suggestions or is this another BUG in update#7.

For some reason, I can't bring up an AI Online option in my "Aviation Traffic Type" settings in "General Options." I only have "Off" and "AI Offline" options. I seem to recall having some sort of AI Online/live traffic option some time back. But now it's gone. I've loaded up AIG's Traffic Manager and Traffic Controller, and it's been great, but was attempting to run the sim without setting up the AIG Traffic Controller, and simply seeing if I could go with the sim's online traffic, taking Kaiii3's advice from another thread and do the following: Set Live AI/Online AI. Enable in the Sim. Do not start AIGTC. But I don't have Online AI as one of …

Is it only in Reno race that you're able to flying close to another plane without having the plane to disappear? I've just took a flight with a friend in multiplayer and we where not able to fly wingtip to wingtip.

Hello Everyone and Happy Thanksgiving. I am trying to figure out why when I try to land my Aircraft even when I correct it with rudder it goes it’s own direction even when I am trying to go the opposite direction and when I try to taxi it looks like the back rudder get stuck in one direction and when I try to make it go the opposite direction it goes in the same direction. Is their anything in setting that I need to turn off completely as far as wind that can be annoying and not realistic. Anytips would be welcomed thanks. I am using only a joystick it’s the thrust master T.1600 Edwin

What about the developer blog this week? It should have been out yesterday, no? Or did I miss something?

I added so many airports from Black Friday sales that I can't remember which are from Asobo and which I am paying for. Regards, Ray
