Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

For those using MSFS during the last hour, it seems a problem is going on with MS servers, that no active internet connection is detected in our computers. The're in Thanksgiving Day, apparently. Cheers, Ed

Can anyone using the new release of the G100NXi tell me how to enter a flight plan? I used to click on FPL and scroll down to origin and begoin entering. Now when I click on FPL I get a menu from which there is no exit to enter a flight plan, Tom

What does it mean when some of the entries in MSFS addon Linker are red? I'm sure there's a simple answer, but i don't know it. Is this due to changing the folder names?

Just saw this posted on their Discord server.

Shoreham is one of the oldest airports in the UK and the world. It goes back to before WW1 and has a proud history in both wars. It has some great heritage features. Cheers.

For some reason I can no longer remove the copilot in the C152 by simply changing the weight to zero. I have also removed the entry in the aircraft cfg but this also seems not to have worked. Can anyone offer some help with this, thanks.

This is very good news, imo. It means content creators need to update their content or watch it get removed, and for end users it means the last chance to download some particular content. If you see something you want and know how to fix it, might as well DL it before it disappears. Might be your last chance. Source: https://news.flightsim.to/removing-uncompatible-sim-update-5-mods/

Before MSFS, I just remember people complaining that Carenado was too casual and just eye candy. Now I am seeing a lot of positive reviews. Has Carenado changed or have reviewers changed? The only Carenado plane I tried was the 152 for FSX. I couldn't get to into it because the textures were bad, but I don't blame them because it was an old product and it was FSX. A2A had an amazing 182. Should I hold out for an A2A 182?

I am totally confused about Community folders and having lots of problems with them (I get the error message "your organization does not allow this file/folder to be installed here when trying to move and remove files). My question here is how many community folders should I have. My MSFS is installed on Y: drive. In searching my entire computer. I found four folders named Community located at: C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable_(gobbledygook)\LocalCache\Packages\Community - this one appears to contain most of my addons C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_(gobbledygook)\Packages\Community - this o…

Does anyone currently use any 3rd party FFB software for their FFB sticks, like the Microsoft FFB 2? Tried to look up info but most of the discussions are pretty old. Thanks for any info!

I was on approach to LVFR KMSY ILS11 AWDAD1 procedure and all of the sudden when I got to TURTL it started to deviate and fly around in circles. Is this a base sim issue or FBW?

Hi It's probably me but... I almost always fly in VR and everything is good on that front. However, I've just gone into 2D for the first time after updating to WU6 and my camera views have gone really weird - to the point of un-flyable. - After choosing airport and aircraft and hitting 'Fly Now', I am in the cockpit as normal, but the view is slowly drifting upwards by itself. - The mouse is there and will open and manipulate the menus, but won't change the camera view at all - When I choose the external view...exactly the same. - Left to its own devices, the camera view stops once it's looking vertically upwards I've tried…

Recently when starting the sim, I got a message telling me to start in safe mode because of incompatibility issues with a 3rd party add on but it wouldn't say which one. They said Safe Mode would disable all add ons. I ignored it and started the sim and didn't notice any issues. I've never seen this before. Is it an issue?

WU6. I'm seeing these very FSX-style textures from high up. This screenshot is from FL320 Render scaling = 100 Terrain detail slider = 100 Fauna variety = 100 Texture resolution = High Terrain vector data = High Grass & bushes = High Trees = High Volumetric clouds = High Rez = 1920 X 1080 I'm just curious if others on here see this sort of thing from high alt? It would help seeing your responses in case this is an issue on my installation. Why does it revert to the patchwork of colored FSX rectangles? Theres no more illusion of forested areas and the straight edges spoil things. Unless this is by design from h…

I know I speak for a lot of people when I say THANK YOU! Thank you to everyone working on this project so hard. To the team at Microsoft and Asobo, you guys are so talented to create a product like this. But talent alone is not enough to achieve something like this. You guys have remained focused and shown true tenacity to get as far as you have with this project. Also, please understand that there is a VERY LOUD minority of users who love to complain, and who find any reason to complain. They DO NOT represent the VAST MAJORITY of your customers, who love and respect the work you guys have done, and continue to do! We appreciate the openness you have shown the community, …

I came across this in the Sim Innovations forums today and wondered if anyone had been able to confirm this. I'll be at my sim this afternoon and will try it myself, but wanted to post it now in case it's correct and of use to others. "Hi if you want popouts in MSFS2020 you need to switch the battery on in your aircraft and when for example the left screen of the G1000 starts up you hold right ALT on your keyboard and hover over the screen. Then a magnifying glass will appear and if you click it the G100 screen will be undocked and you can drag it around to another screen and resize it to your AM Panel. I hope this helps."

Can anyone comment on comparisons between Orbx and Iniscene on EKGA Shoremen. I had the Orbx version of EKGA and having been there in real-life I found it to be quite accurate. In the MSFS Marketplace I see that there are two versions of the airport, one by Orbx and one by Inibuilds/Iniscene (whom I have never heard of). I see also that Gary is starting to introduce some of his airports developed for MSFS 2020, e.g. Bristol. How does his version of Bristol compare with the Pilot Plus? Thanks for any comments.

It has been a few months since I have been in the cockpit of the FBW A320 and have 2 questions. 1. What is the main difference between dev and experimental / which should I be using? 2. Are there any mods out there that have cabin / out the windo camera views these days compatible with the latest release? Thanks!

I'm thinking about picking this up for the upcoming fall season, do these textures auto select depending on the date or is it user selected every flight? Also, another quick one, is it any good? Thanks

Exhilarating. Asobo, Microsoft and the Swiss Alps A few weeks ago, Microsoft's Jörg Neumann indicated that the improved data obtained from Switzerland would allow a notable improvement in the rendition of the Alps. He had a real twinkle in his eyes. Well, over the weekend a group of us had a great afternoon flying over the Alps. The rendition was both beautiful and exciting. And, as my friends who know the area said, "Spot on." We would like to express our thanks to the creative teams at Microsoft and Asobo for providing us with a splendid experience flying above and through the Alps. (If you know Switzerland, you will already know where to fly. If you are not so f…

Any news on that ? Thanks.
