Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

I've noticed this and wondered if you have if you have found a way to get rid of it. It doesn't always happen but it does often enough to where I'd liek to lose it if possible. I have very fast storage and sufficient memory, and tried some tricks w/ Process Lasso but never quite solved the issue. Thanks

fellow pilots, just saw this post and was thankful as it reminded me that it kind of bothers me that when starting cold and dark at a gate the plane is automatically pushed back as soon as I turn avionics on when AI Comms is enabled. I like AI Comm and don't want to disable that so I would like to see an option to still trigger pushback manually only after I did my preflight settings, especially programming/loading Simbrief into the FMS. If that bugs you too then feel free to vote here: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/auto-pushback-turn-off/439976

Every time I get close to Devils Tower in Wyoming my plane shoots straight up to 43,000 feet. Is this happening to anyone else?

I have the Logitech Flight Yoke and quadrant. I definitely get the utility of those. I have the multi-panel and it's been a game changer. Love it. But rudder pedals. I bought a set early on and just didn't enjoy using them. Took them back. That was 6 months ago. This past weekend I couldn't make a tight turn on a ramp and then said screw it and went and re-bought them. But since then, I've slid my feet back and forth on a couple of flights and I still just don't see where they add enough to the sim to have that extra peripheral taking up space down by my feet and the extra cord/cable adding to existing tangle, not to mention the $170 cost. Am I m…

Im trying to train a little bit for a maybe future vatsim try, but like 99% of all airports dont have real life taxi ways, so I cant use charts and taxi like the ingame ATC is telling me. I read multiple times now that people can see the taxi ways with the standard VFR map, when zooming very close to the airport, but that doesnt work for me, all the taxi ways are just dark without signs. I have only the RW numbers viewable on the ingame VFR map.

I just noticed that floatplanes now create a wake once the speed climbs. When did that happen as I didn't see this just a few days ago.

For those of you pondering the A-10A Thunderbolt II on the MSFS marketplace. You might want to check out my review of it:

I'm finding it useful just to be able to go to the site, much less use the app. Maybe others will find this helpful as well. ILS FREQUENCY LOOKUP.COM Or APP

Does anyone know what is this I see in MYNN and how to fix it? https://postimg.cc/Z9hcgVJb

Microsoft has published several new cumulative updates (KB5005033 & KB5005031) for recent versions of Windows 10 today. I could confirm ( at least on my setup) with Game Mode ON i had 6 to 8 fps increase on MSFS 'We fixed an issue that prevents power plans and Game Mode from working as expected. This results in lower frame rates and reduced performance while'' https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-10-kb5005033-and-kb5005031-cumulative-updates-released/ At last Game Mode started to work on windows

After playing the XBOX version, anyone that says Asobo is designing the application with a "console first' mentality is out of their mind. The XBOX version is a technical masterpiece, but it is obviously an application that was designed for a PC and ported to consoles. The UI requires you to move a cursor over a little "X" in the top right corner of many of the menus to close them. The camera system and many system functions require more button combos than most of the super-secret fatality moves in mortal kombat - those same functions are a single key on a PC keyboard. Even basic flight control can be quite frustrating with a gamepad - I immediately wanted to hook up…

Hello All I have seen in some forums that people are suggesting using the "Studio" version of drivers rather than "Game Ready". At the moment both these drivers are at the 471.68 version. Can anyone advise which would produce the best results with MSFS (updated with all Hotfixes) please? Also my Nvidia control panel seems to have disappeared - any one else had that? many thanks

I noticed the WT G3000 in the TBM 930 does not seem to offer an approach transition option of Vectors, but the G1000NXi in the C172 does for the same approach. Is this just a limitation of the current G3000 implementation, or is that how the G3000 actually works (or perhaps I don't know how to select "Vectors" with the G3000)? Thx, Al

Saw this posted in another forum and did the test on my machine, only to find 2 surprising bottlenecks, which I have addressed as much as I can. It occurs to me to wonder if by running some comparisons, we might locate some commonalities indicating reasons for problems with MSFS. Or not. I figure it can't hurt to try.

I don't have an Xbox or an Xbox controller...yet I see this control mapping for an Xbox controller every time I start a flight. Not a huge deal, but if I can disable would like to disable. Anyone know why this shows up and how to get rid of it?

Does this mean we can has a Space Shuttle, or Virgin Galactic's Spaceship 3? Maybe this is one of the guys I saw above me recently at super-high altitude........ XBOX PLAYER FLIES TO SPACE IN MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR

Purchased Tropical Sim's Punta Cana International Airport MDPC at SimMarket. Nice airport, but something's wrong and strange black squares/rectangles appear around your aircraft when you're panning around in external view: The squares are not seen if the cockpit view is selected. This is really annoying. Wrote an email to TropicalSim support, but so far, 24 hours since, no comments from their side, not even to say they've got the email. Is someone having the same effect in this airport or in any other place after SU5?.

(I put this in another thread, but figured I'd post it as a new thread so it does not get lost...) Here's how I've been handling it (in the FBW A320NX)... Cruise is set to FL350 in the flight plan. ATC clears me to climb to FL220. If I get to 21820 feet and have not heard from ATC, then I know ATC thinks I'm at a lower altitude. I bump the altitude dial up 300 feet. If I still don't get further clearance, I bump it up another couple of hundred feet. Usually, ATC will give me that further clearance within 1000 feet of additional altitude. Sometimes, ATC will think I'm at a higher altitude that I am. In that case, I'll get the next clearance a bit early.…

Hi Folks. Does anyone know how to set a key for changing the radio decimal frequencies? I find it a bit fiddly trying to keep the mouse active on the rotating knob. I see that there is a key binding for the main frequency but not the decimal part. I'm setting up a page for the radios in Matric but so far have not seen any buttons for the decimal freqs. Perhaps it is not possible to change the decimal with a keystroke. I also note that there are buttons for the inbuilt ATC responses in Matric which is great for the simulator ATC but not so good for VATSIM. Cheers...Ken.

How many of us , think that; an integrated "landing rate" display would be very nice during landing ? As we are not able to see the replay of our landings (for the moment), at least a basic landing indicator would be fine...(I am not sure but I think and landing rate is already measured within the "landing challenges" but it would be nice if it will be displayed for all flights on demand.) Happy flying...

I'm not sure if this was ever answered. After SU5 HF2 or 3, lost count, did they actually offload the gauges to another core; or are we still waiting for that performance increase?

Anyone know when this will be available ?
