Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

After a reinstall, I told MSFS to put my community folder in D:\Program Files\FS2020\Community. However, other software seems to think that my folder is under %APPDATA%\Local\Packages\MSFS\LocalCache\Packages, and I cannot seem to move files to the area on D. How do I resolve this? Cheers!

The SU7 update came with Helsinki photogrammetry modeling. For some reason, this really made the trees oversized. When I turn off the Helsinki photogrammetry, the trees in Helsinki are of normal size and realistic. How can the height and size of the trees be reduced when using Helsinki photogrammetry?

New video: Waiting for release... I will buy first day.

I installed the FBW Airbus using their installer utility and the aircraft is not visible in the game. I only have the Neo. What am I missing here?

Intuitive the new tool is not but following the tutorial on the official forums I cobbled this one together..... I'm not going to win any awards but I can see the potential to create some great content.

This is the one 'killer' bug...that makes me if anything, will leave off MSFS until Asobo comes out with an urgent HotFix. This constant, bug-auto changing of my settings, mostly in the Assist Option Screen. You adjust anything, and you'd better check out what has just been bug/auto changed to all your personal in-sim settings. This was released to the wild from Asobo? The Game Of The Year. ROTFLMAO! Really?!??! LOL! Seems we were on the right path with SU6, all steps forwards...but now, well for me at least, way more many steps back again. No choice but to wait for 'the' SU7 Hotfix....no choice. The SU6 lamenter...

There is a new stable release for the FBW A32NX, v0.7.3. Take note though: "This release provides compatibility with Sim Update 7 along with a fix for printer CTDs. This is the last stable release before the merging of our custom FMS version 1 (cFMS v1). Please use this version if you wish to stay on the default FMS. We however strongly recommend using Development and the new FMS unless you need the v0.7.0 base for third-party compatibility."

My Salty B748 AutoPilot worked flawlesly before this update 7, Now it doesnt capture either Loc or App in auto Mode. I was using VRI M.Panel OK with almost all of its functions working, and now cannot set altitude at the AP mode. Has anybody suffered this issues ?

I'm new to this simm so I'm probably asking typical new be questions. Has any one had trouble with the radio display text in the Cessna 152 flickering and being unstable? It seems to happen when I add power. Is there a way to turn it off? The other question I have is my trim wheel on the Honeycomb throttle quadrant isn't very effective. I've tried resetting it several times. Am I missing something?

It seems that I am encountering a new problem as soon as I solve the last problem. Today's is that every time I try to use one of the planes I purchased in the Market Place, the plane will load, but as soon as I go to click on any of the switches, etc. the sim crashes to desktop. I can start with any default plane, or one of the planes I purchased at Market Place. IF I use a default plane everything is fine. But if I start with one I purchased at Market Place, or change to one of them from a default plane, as soon as I click on anything, the sim crashes. This started after the last update this week. Anyone have experienced this problem?

Man, Asobo and Microsoft are killing it. Love the new weather depiction. Sure, it needs some ironing out. But that will come. Removed a couple of mods that seem to cause issues, and all is well. No loss in frame rates.

Hi all, Since this new update my scenery has started to not load correctly. Some parts don't load at all and are 2D like the old times. Then most houses/trees are all pixelated and all sharp edges and pointed. All worked fine before. Any fixes? Thanks Perry.

Well, this one tricked me to think there was really something WRONG with the flight dynamics in MFS post SU7 so I wanted to share it ... After installing SU7 and purchasing and testing the "Reno Air Races", I went testing around and found that MFS was feeling completely strange / Arcade ! I was tempted to start posting here about how bad it felt .. Glad I didn't ... Actually, in my case SU7 installed an reverted all "ASSISTANCE OPTIONS" to "ALL ASSIST", which results in a truly plastic / arcade feel of the sim. Beware and check your options too, just in case the update did the same to your MFS install. I use "HARD" in them all less "USER EXPERIENCE".

Well, I have been going through all my settings, EVERY SETTING...(geez!) and pretty much have my 30 FPS (on a GTX1070 non-Ti) back. That was a major blow to me, from the outset, to lose 8 FPS (running at 19-22) from the launch of SU7-GOTY. I need some help though...for in the update, my male and female avatar pilots now have missing textures. 1. Both of their headphones are fully pink (you know...when textures are missing or don't get loaded in) and on the male avatar his pants are pink (missing textures) They were fine and showed properly with SU6. Can anybody advise HOW I can repair this? Is there a way to check for textures, or re-download on…

Since this latest update I don't have the upper panel for selecting an aircraft or flight plan on the world map. Is there something new that I'm missing here? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Bill

Does anyone know how to make air traffic louder? I love having a plane pass by mine at an airport and listening to its turbines. In my settings, the volume of other aircraft is 100 percent, but it doesn't seem to be enough. When I am in exterior view yes, but: what about when I am in the cabin?

Before people say it, yes it’s great that’s it’s free but I was ready to pay for this one and I think others were…They hinted that this was going to be better than FS Dreamteam it just isn’t. The night lighting on the main terminal is none existent basically and the interior is poor. It’s a bit frustrating when you know how capable they are but with these WU free airports it’s a bit of a half ar.ed approach.

Okay got AIG running. Installation was pretty time consuming but there is an excellent step-by-step video that worked. After loading up KDEN this is my opinion… AST: The airport feels lifeless in online mode, and chaotic in offline mode. In online mode the planes sit at the gates. No movement. No taxiing. In offline mode many of the planes start taxiing at the same time, spinning, and overlapping each other. It just wasn’t believable. AIG: The airport IS ALIVE. I feel like i am watching an airport in action. The planes taxi properly. There are takeoffs. I just sat there and watched for 30 minutes and this feels right. Here’s the setup video.

Since SU7, The distance at which terrain and buildings load into view has been drastically reduced. I am running ULTRA with everything maxed out. For example, before the update I could basicially see a large portion of the Los Angeles basin and it would have all been populated with buildings, trees, etc. Now it only loads a few miles around my aircraft. My internet speed is excellent. I did all the usual things like deleting my Community folder, updating drivers, deleting rolling cache etc. Could there be a setting I am missing?

Just seen this on SimMarket. I'm all in for anything that adds immersion to MSFS. Birds on final approach leading to a go around? Anyone purchased this yet? https://secure.simmarket.com/south-oak-co-fs-birds-northeast-usa.phtml

Not seen a thread or much discussion on this so hoping to get some insight. Loaded up the sim for an hour after SU7 and mostly things went well. I was trying out the FA/18 over China Lake and out towards LA. As I was approaching LA, the haze and fog looked great in the distance but unfortunately when I reached the haze/fog it really suddenly changed and the entire area was foggy including the area I had just come from which had no fog previously. I then looped around and headed for LAX and once on approach, an abrupt change happened again; this time from low visibility/fog/haze to perfect clear skies. Is anyone else experiencing this? Could it be due t…

Just Flight just released updates for their Arrow, Turbo Arrow, and Warrior II. Kinda odd to me that they released these the day before SU7, but glad to see them nonetheless.

I've seen this issue mentioned peripherally in other threads. But I thought this problem deserves a thread of its own. Have you experienced any instances of clouds at ground level since SU7? Personally, my home airport is almost 800 feet above sea level, and I start out every flight now in a fog of clouds so thick that I can't see the end of the runway ahead of me. These clouds at ground level only seem to be a problem when using Real World Weather. If I instead select "Few Clouds" or "Broken Clouds", etc. the clouds are injected into the sim at their proper altitudes.

This is my 2nd full install after SU6 borked on me, Now SU7 i got CTD's when i selected the options menu every time. If you have the premium deluxe the download is 112 GB, Most of which I regard as bloatware such as tutorials, poi's livery's, landing challenges and default standard aircraft that are irrelevant to most simmers etc etc. These options should be placed in the market place separated from the core files under free content. You would see a heavily reduced download size and less hassle to fix broken files when an update goes pear shaped. Rich

Hi Everyone I have bought the P-51A - I have tried two seperate downloads but in both cases the prop animation is wrong. When the engine is stopped I still have the prop disc visible as welll as the static blades . When the engine is running I still have the static prop blades visible in the prop disc. Interested to know if this peculiar to me or is there a bug here. Thanks
