Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Realism, spatial disorientation, and hazard... would be such a welcome addition to MSFS!

for those who are in the SU6 beta: "For those of you who chose to sign up for Sim Update 6 testing, the flight (1.20.5.0) is now available for download in the Xbox Insider Hub. You may now download the build and provide feedback to our team. Thank you for your time and effort in helping to improve Microsoft Flight Simulator!" Flight is full, no more tickets on this flight 😀 https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/sim-update-6-flight-now-live/459829

I get a only a label when I try to use switches in the cockpit and nothing I do will make the switches of dials work. I created a short half minute video to demonstrate. I used my right and left mouse buttons and mouse wheel and nothing happens, hopefully someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance - fairly new to FS20. That's what I call it - like FS9, FSX, FS20... EZ PZ, what do you think.

In P3D and XP11 I create a flight plan with a third party program like for example Plan-G. Then I start P3D or XP11 and load that flight plan. Is this not possible in MSFS ? I see that Plan G gives the option to save a flight plan for MSFS but it saves it in P3D folder. But at any rate I don't see how I could have loaded it in MSFS

I didn't even know there was a landing and takeoff video for FlytheMaddogX but here it is:

I was having difficulty getting some downloads into my Community folder after my upgrade to Windows 11, and I just got frustrated to the point that I uninstalled MSFS. I wish I hadn't, but what's done is done. I bought it when it first came out on the Microsoft Store. I bought the top version (Premium Deluxe) and now it seems I cannot find a clear path to re-installing it to my M2 drive (where it was before). I've visited the store and cannot find a true INSTALL button which acknowledges that I own this product. I do not want to have to buy it again. I've played with it most of the morning trying everything I know to get this sim back on my hard drive. If you …

I up graded from 6.3 which worked fine. to 7.0, I'm using all honeycomb yoke and throttle and now for some reason my auto pilot will not let me change Alt. or VS it just stays at the same Alt it's like it's locked in. the only way I can descend or ascend is turn off the auto pilot. What could it be is it some that I'm not doing right. Has the system change from 6.3 on how to ascend and descend in auto pilot?

Today when I started MSFS it seemed to be taking longer to load, especially the "checking for updates" part. I then got notifications that I was offline. I checked and verified that the system was online. The next warnings came with a red banner saying that I did not have enough bandwidth to show the photogrammetry scenery. I had just used it yesterday with no problems and nothing in my setup has changed from then. My bandwidth appears to be sufficient and has not changed. Anybody else notice similar issues? Are there problems with the servers?

So I decided to give FS2020 some time to mature after playing with it (successfully) for a few updates. I then received my Bravo throttle quadrant and ran into another delay as it didn't fit well with my desk so I took some more time to find a solution to that issue (which I have with something called the LowRider mount). Anyway, I finally came back in, but did update the sim with each new major update and world update. However, now it seems things are totally screwed. The first sign of trouble was that upon loading I got the "first time load" warning about the CRJ-700 (which I own and is the last plane I flew). It certainly wasn't the first time, but it did take abo…

All the previous msfs versions had a possibility of inserting a small window, (usually showing the plane in spot view) into the screen. I never used it a lot cause it would hit the fps to much. However, now my PC can handle it easy and it'd be a great help in flying helicopters. Is there a way or an add on that enables it?

Hello, I have seen two airports (KCLE and KTLH) are missing blue taxiway lights. They’re hard to taxi the airport without the lights at nighttime. I am wondering if this add on Just Flight real taxiways solve the missing blue taxi lights for USA? let me know and thanks! Brian

I have downloaded the Flightsim.to freeware EGSU Duxford Aerodrome. Unzipped folder into the Community folder. Launched the sim and started a flight at EGSU - it was the default MSFS airport, not the Flightsim.to freeware addon. Looked in my Community folder, and the Flightsim.to version was in fact there. Any suggestions as to what could be the problem? Thanks

Hello, I’ve noticed on my past few flights using the FBW A320N (development version) it’s importing incorrect payload/ZFW numbers from my Simbrief flight plan in the ATSU. In both cases it imported numbers that were higher than the simbrief plan (on my current flight it’s about 11,000 lbs higher). Fuel imports correctly from the flight plan. Is anyone else experiencing this and have you found a fix/work around? thanks

Personally, I really, really like the regular updates from Asobo - there is always something to look forward to, each and every month. Some updates are a huge step forward and some are underwhelming, but that's part of the fun. There are also some massive projects that are nearing the finish line from third party devs that are sure to be game changers. I'm also really curious about the upcoming content add-ons - e.g. Top Gun and the Reno Air Races. Not because of the content, but because of the functionality they might introduce. Right now, activities such as bush trips are fairly basic - fly to these waypoints, land here, etc... I'm hoping these content packs will e…

Hello. Do you have the Goflight MCP Pro stands? Do you mind to share the measures to have it done by someone? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MUdMzhle69Pi3xf42_EHex2BGbsfnIhi/view?usp=sharing Thnak you very much! Regards HB

I have most of the nice payware out there like Just Flight’s Arrow and the Carenado collection and one thing they all have in common is a distinct tendency to oscillate uncontrollably upon landing rollout. I do not experience this with other planes...namely all of the default planes, the Grumman Goose, the BD-5J, etc. Even the lovely new Dragon Rapide easily holds the center line on rollout. Is there a aircraft.cfg setting that impacts this that I can tweak that would allow me to have a landing rollout without 30 degree oscillation back and forth (I do have takeoff assists on and have tried it off no difference)? Thanks, Steve

Hi Everyone I hope everybody has managed to download the latest update and hopefully enjoying the sim again. I have been thinking of buying one of the above textures.Google suggests Zinertek may be slightly better. I would be grateful for comments/suggestions from colleagues here to decide which is better. I look forward to your comments. Qas

Nice! https://news.flightsim.to/flightfx-and-volctech-announce-cirrus-sf50-vision-jet-for-msfs/

Just discovered a wierd thing this morning, after the normal "process" with the startup, when the "blue bar" is almost finished at the piont when sim normaly starts up, it just closes down! (CTD)I have the lates Nvidia driver, and even reverted back o older ones, no luck. One thing i did to make he sim startup was when I started MSFS in "safe mode" but then the content in my contentmanager (products that I have bought and installed) is gone! (all things I have bought, PMDG DC-6, ORBX ESSB, e.g) MSFS was working perfectly last night. There was an update in ORBX central this morning, that I downloaded (ESSB) Could that be the problem? Anyone else having this issue? Tips tri…

Has been MIA since WU6. Still comes up on the aircraft list correctly. I can select it, but can't see it. Yes, I've deleted all traces of the old version. Yes, I've downloaded and installed the newest Development version, both using the FBW installer and when that didn't work a manual download. Yes, I've checked it's in the Community folder. Any other ideas?

I'm used to fly the TBM 930 quite a lot, but since the latest updates this is nearly impossible. The sim crashes either on loading the flight or immediately after it. Is there any setting or add-on which is known to cause it. Other GA a/c like C208B or C172 works well.
