Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

WORTH-A-TRY WMMV YOLO! 😺 From the developer: MS FS 2020 - Modern UI 2.0

Jummivana Senior Community Manager [Z-7] 1h Hello everyone, Due to some back-end scheduling conflicts, we will no longer have pre-release testing for Sim Update 7. We want these flights to be long enough in duration for you to test and provide feedback, and for the team in return to make meaningful updates based on your feedback. Unfortunately we won’t be able to make that happen this time around. We value the time and energy you put in for testing and want to offer the same in return during these flights. This group will be preserved for future flights, such as the Sim Update 8 flight we have planned soon. Thank you again for being willing to help…

Coming Soon: Microsoft Flight Simulator Game of the Year Edition - Microsoft Flight Simulator Wow! Lots of content + DX12 and replay!

This is my take on the latest information from other sites about the new Kodiak 100 release, which I've been following for ..since August. A representitive from SWS said today that the release will be from non-Marketplace and delayed by logistics to get an alternative download site available by then. I am believing them about this and look forward to this new plane in my hanger by December. See the MSFS forums for their update comments. forums>third party> aircraft>..kodiak..

Is this problem related to graphics drivers, or is it a bug?

Now this is going to sound odd, but I have just opened MSFS 2020 after applying the latest hotfix, and loaded the just Flight PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV for MSFS 2020. Previous it would open with the Garmin switched on (750). Now it is switched off, and for the life of me, I cannot figure how to turn it on. I have selected ' aircraft ready for take off' and that has no effect, and I have scrolled over all versions of the Garmin to see if I can find a switch to turn it on, and have found nothing. Can anyone enlighten me as to what I need to do to switch it on. Thanks

Hi all, I bought the Saitek X52 Space/Flight H.O.T.A.S. and am having problems with it. I am an avid helicopter pilot and have the Airbus H145 integrated in FS 2020. My problem is that when I push the thrust lever forward, i.e. increase the power on takeoff, the helicopter turns to the right and I can't stop it. The consequence is of course the crash. What is going wrong here? Please help! Thanks Scooter010

So I havne’t played MSFS in about a month on my laptop and just loaded it up to get the new updates…when I was shocked to see the “update” is over 80GB 😯 Is that normal for su7 to be this big?

I bought the Piper Senica V from the Market Place. The plane installed and it runs, but I can't seem to find and Pilot Operators Handbook, or any documents for this or any other plane. Can someone tell me where to look? Thanks

Hey Peeps, I just posted this over in the FS2020 forum, but I'll spare ya the extra click. The “Daher” call sign for the TBM has annoyed me from Day 1.. like for realsies, but after digging around I finally found a way to fix it - thanks to Asobo’s use of text-to-speech. This btw works with anything... you type it, the SIM will say it. Don't go too crazy though! 🙂 Go to … \Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Official[Steam or MS Store string]\fs-base Open the .locPak of your language (in the US, it would be en-US.locPak) Search for or scroll down to “ATCCOM.ATC_NAME TAYLORCRAFT.0.tts”: “Taylorcraft”, Right below the Taylorcr…

I would post this on my social media account, but none of my friends or family appreciates my aviation nerdiness, heh. Just received my alpha and bravo yesterday. Coming from years using CH Yoke to use these two outstanding pieces of hardware is so amazing. The quality of it and everything else people talked about is true, probably the best investment into this hobby I've ever made.

Anyone with this aircraft know if the seat belts can be turned off? Really get in the way!

Anyone seeing this? I always assumed that even if I have bad broadband (15mbs my best near LA) I can't get logged into the MSFS servers. I guess we knew that this could be our lot in life with a full online version of MSFS. For now I'll enjoy the AVSIM forums. Cheers bs

Some how I have changed a setting and I need to get back to my original setting. When I hover the mouse over a cock pit control / instrument it lights blue / yellow. How can I stop this ? where do I look in "controls" to configure it back to normal, thanks fellas.

All this time I thought this was other MSFS users! That must be 'Multiplayer', yes? I think the reason I thought RTOT was that it does seem somewhat chaotic and density changes immensely from airport to airport, time of day, so I wonder what Asobo uses to determine how much traffic displays?

Going to finally buy MSFS2020. Got new computer. Card did not have 30380 so he just put in 1 1080 Eventually when stock starts coming in will change Should I get the Deluxe version or premium version of 2020

New tutorial on Simvol written by Pacha35: Create your flight plan with Navigraph Charts In-Game Panel https://www.simvol.org/en/articles/tutorials/create-flight-plan-navigraph-charts-ingame-panel

A really nice feature of the GTN 750 is you can set it up to give you the enroute time to the next waypoint -- in other words, the time remaining to the waypoint you are currently heading towards. Is there way to get this setup on the G1000? Thx, Al

I have the Nearest Airport box displayed on the PDF. I can step thru the list with the FMS knobs and highlight a given Airport identifier, but I haven't been able to select one from the list. I was attracted by one of the statement that is is "easy to Fly Direct to an airport, waypoint, or navaid displayed in the "Nearest" List. If I can't select one, how can I easily fly Direct? One would think it should be either a press of the inner FMS knob or the ENT key, or maybe the Direct iey, but none of these works for me. Suggestions, ideas, hint? Regards, Ray

Hi there, I have just built my PC and would like to purchase the new MSFS so I am just wondering what settings I could run it at based on my new system. CPU: Intel i5 11600k 3.9GHz (4.9 GHz Turbo), 6core GPU: Nvidia GTX 3070 TI Founders Edition RAM: x2 8GB DDR4 3600MHz (total 16GB) SSD: 2TB Storage PSU: 750W Gold Rated PSU Moteherboard: MSI MAG Z590 Tomahawk WIFI Monitor: 27" 1920x1080 144Hz Thanks Perry

Not sure where to post this. Could anyone with a Thrustmaster TCA "Captain pack for Airbus" help me out please. I would be really grateful. It was all working no issues, latest firmware, loaded immediately when I first connected, all worked. Sadly, I accidently wiped the assignments for spoiler and flaps (I deleted default by mistake in control options). I cant seem to figure out the bindings. I have all the other switches, power levers fine again. Could anyone with the same hardware look in the control options/assigned and tell me what the bindings are for the spoilers and flaps please. Its driving me nuts, Its so frustrating, I just cant figure it out. I assum…

Dear Asobo Team, Ok we've had pretty scenery for over a year now and things look great. But TOO great! X-Box is done, SU7 and Reno is releasing soon.. How about having a "realistic" mode that we can turn on; unleashing the crosswinds, real world visibility (bad air quality, humid, fog, low vis from wildfires), *turbulence*, and pure hell that flying AT TIMES can be. Conditions in this video below are RARE, but can happen especially with the surrounding mountains and swirling winds - even with heavier aircraft. I couldn't imagine flying a Cessna in these conditions, and would likely not end well. Thank you!

Fellow simmers, i do not understand the Honeycomb Software or Drivers concept. When you ask for software or drivers, you get pointed at the Honeycomb Drivers page: https://flyhoneycomb.com/pages/drivers. When you scroll down there, you see the MSFS Drivers and X-Plane and P3D downloads. When you download and install it, you obviously get the Aerosoft ASUpdater installed (i dont want it!!), and nothing else. When you scroll further down, you see a screenshot of the Honeycomb Configurator, but NO download button for that (you can only submit a support ticket). When you search in Google for the Honeycomb Configurator, you get a lin…

At every part of the airport you can see moving people, cars, working beacons etc: En

I have been trying to fly the IFR plan above. Using different aircraft. All with the same result. After flying over BALT the sim crashes at the same location. No ATC used. Same results with PMS50-GTN750 and WT G1000 NXI. No weather. All mods are current versions. The plan was developed using Navigraph and exported to FS2020. Configuration: Intel I9 3.7 GHz Nividia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 32 GB Ram Windows 10 PRO I'm out of ideas. Bill McCracken
