Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Been seeing this for a while now, was hoping the update would fix it, but no. The marketplace has duplicate listings for MANY items. I had been eyeing the Carenado Seneca and after today's update it still shows two listings for example with the exact same price, rating, review counts, etc. Not just carenado, that amphibious flying boat is still duped, the L-19 from blackbox, etc. Normally I buy stuff direct anyway, but in the case of Carenado you can't. So which one is the correct listing? I've seen a lot of comments about failed purchases lately and I'm wondering if this dup thing is the cause.

.. hopefully not for everybody 😉

For days I've been trying to get enough bandwidth to have some semblance of realistic ground textures and download the Carenado Seneca update to no avail until I discovered that Windows Update (the bane to gamers everywhere) was trying to update some silly patch and killing MSFS. When I disabled updates for 7 days I was in 7th heaven and the sim again looked beautiful. This allowed me to download and install the Seneca update and the new KHAF scenery by MP designs. Half Moon Bay has been a fav airport going back to FSX days and they had done a right job with it. Anyway the flight out was magnificent flying over KSFO and San Francisco so once again MSFS proves to b…

Disreguard....

Why do my airport buildings look like skeletons? They are partially filled in, but the roofline and skeletal. Most are default buildings. Thanks Duane

Does anyone know whether Drzewiecki's CHICAGO is compatible with Z Design's MEIGS FIELD? I have Z Design's Meigs Field and love it. I also own other city scenery from Drzewiecki, and they are all spectacular. But I don't yet own Chicago, and I'm wondering whether Meigs and Chicago have any problems working together? Does anyone have experience using these two add-ons together?

After all the releases and hotfixes we are still unable to properly configure a joystick axis for the "Steering Tiller" function 😕 It's a true PITA to have to set it incrementally, and then very carefully use a rotation ( Z ) axis in a controller to go with it ... X-Plane has it since v10, P3D got it don't remember since which version ( maybe 4 ? ) but in MFS no good ...

Are the Microsoft liveries different for PC and XBox? I have seen some liveries in promotional clips for SU5, that I do not have in my PC ver. I have all the available updates including world updates and liveries available. Perhaps the liveries used in the promos are the ones only beta testers got?

I have spent the last two days tring to set trim on aircrafts, both MSFS default and Cessna Longitude v1.8.5 as well as the TBM930 0.6 improvement mod. There are no other files in my community files other than the two planes above. I have a Saitek /Logitech X56 HOTAS. all other settings appear to work fine but the Trim is proving to be impossible to set. I have tried all essential options but no luck. It worked fine a few days go. the only change is that I installed the latest NVIDEA driver 471.96. I can't imagine that would be problematic. Any ideas to solve this will be welcome. Thanks in advance. Rolf

I am finding that post SU5, my graphics card is not working as hard, and my VRAM utilisation is down significantly. Mind you, this is with fps set at 30. 😉 One thing I had not changed since SU4, was the Render Scaling setting.. it was at 100. If you are in the same situation, try setting it at 120, as a test. My GPU usage went up to 120% of the previous number (coincidence?), 55% to 67%, sitting at CYCD.. but the visuals in the cockpit are much better.. I can now better read my new G1000 nxi 🙂 This may be old news, in which case, please disregard.. but for me, this is worth it.

Has anyone tried the new flight lessons since SU5? The previous set seemed pretty decent, at least the few I tried. The new, "more-accessible" ones, OTOH... Specifically, I'm thinking of lesson 7, on attitude and power management. The lesson is supposed to start with you in cruise attitude at 5,500 feet. The problem is, you don't start anywhere near that height. I just re-ran it again and, when the lesson begins, the altimeter shows you at around 3,750 feet. Then you are immediately told to throttle down to 2000 RPM while holding level. You have two choices: either follow instructions and level off, whereupon, later in the flight, you'll be failed for being …

Hey guys, whats the best way in game to find out Winds and QNH when approaching an airport? (I don't mean deafult ATC). As when flying on VATSIM and there is no ATC Available.

Hello Gang! Any ideas how to get rid of the personalized tail number appearing over-imposed on all aircraft? Thanks

I've been looking for a list of all the default MSFS variables, found this page today. Should make my life easier when programming profiles. https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/index.htm#t=Programming_Tools%2FSimVars%2FAircraft_Simulation_Variables.htm

Hi guys, I have been patiently waiting for a study level airliner for MSFS. I don’t do Airbus so the FBW A320 does not interest me. My favorite aircraft of all time is the PMDG NGX. But I am hearing a lot of good mojo about there DC6. Is it that good? I honestly have no interest in the DC6 as I like to simulate current day airliners. But... I have heard many people in my situation that have no regrets buying the DC6 and enjoy it immensely despite not accurate to current day air travel. I enjoy VOR navigation when flying GA aircraft but am concerned that I won’t be able to handle the workload with the DC6. Opinions?

Hi all, Just wanted to share this one, in case it helps anyone who is getting CTDs after a Nvidia driver update; I updated my Nvidia drivers to the latest version last week. I immediately started to get lots of CTDs, at various phases of using MSFS. I tried a few things, such as resetting all of the settings in the Nvidia Control Panel back to the Nvidia defaults, but nothing seemed to help. I was even driven back to X-Plane for a couple of days! Anyway, I contacted Zendesk and was advised to delete both the usercfg.opt file, and the flightsimulator.cfg file (both residing in the 'LocalCache' folder). Apparantly the [Display] settings in the flightsimu…

Rutan Model 202 Boomerang / Compatibility with Sim Update 5 Confirmed Burt Rutan's asymmetrical twin-fuselage wonder is now available for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Only one of this aircraft exists in real life, but now you can fly it whenever you want! The Rutan Model 202 Boomerang is an aircraft designed and built by Burt Rutan. The design was intended to be a multi-engine aircraft that in the event of failure of a single engine would not become dangerously difficult to control due to asymmetric thrust. The result is an asymmetrical aircraft with a very distinct appearance. (Wikipedia) FEATURES Just about everything is animated …

I want to confirm if in real life, multi engine aircraft (748 f.example) uses asimetric thrust to draw sharp curves at taxing.- In my case is the only way to do it, as the 748 ground handling is really tricking

I have an issue which as started since the last service update, I am losing fps on a long flight... FPS start out at 50/60 and over 5 hours drop to 10fps. I have removed everything from the Community folder... Same problem... Any idea's I am running a 9900k @ 5 with a 3080Ti 32G Ram Andrew

Before I start playing with config files etc has anyone experienced this. running 1440p ultra custom (one change no motion blur). If I change my render scale to anything above 100 I get the following issue. when panning left or right large pixelated squares break up the image, on a 32” monitor they are about 5mm square and are mostly over the top third of the image. I’m in the very early stages of faulting this, but thought I’d ask in case someone has experienced this which would then hopefully save me some time. ive used render scaling before with no issues. Temps are fine and I can limit FPS down to vsync 20 (48fps in my case) and I STILL get …

I noticed that FBW A32NX is on the marketplace again. After many fails with both the MP and the Dev version (CTDs, oversensitive throttle, flickering textures, malfunctioning autopilot (worse than the default A320)) I decided to perform a clean wipe and wait for WU6. What version do you recommend right now, with SU5? Has the stable version been 100% fixed before the re-inclusion in the marketplace? Thank you.

Hi all, I wonder if this is just me or has anyone else had similar issues. I do most of my flying out of EGPH ( Edinburgh) and recently i've noticed that although the piers are visable the buildings are not. This never used to be the case but ive only just noticed it, so i'm guessing it was done with the last sim update. I also noticed that EGLL now has trees growing out the middle of the central terminal areas. I have change nothing in regards to the tree and building densities and just have the sliders maxed at 200 these are both default airports and not addon airports. Are there any options I can try? delete the uk update and reinstall or is …

funny movie with the late John Candy. Check it out ! But seriously. We need TRAINS in this sim as well. X-plane can do it so why not

That is what I hear over and over again when flying the C172 amphibian once the altitude is over about 3000 feet regardless of whether I have the float rudders lowered or raised. Is this a bug? I can disable it on the right side of the instrument panel but why does it warn me regardless of where the float rudders are set.
