I've confirmed that inibuilds KLAX Enhanced v1.0.1 is crashing MSFS 2024 latest build (non beta) when choosing 25L. If I remove the airport and re0enable the default KLAX the issue resolves itself. I've noticed with KLAX installed (default disabled) that when choosing 25L it does not place you at the end of the runway. It places you at 7L 25R Hold. Where it will CTD. This is repeatable. Once I remove KLAX Enhanced and re-enable the default KLAX it will place and start you at the end of 25L

Hey all I use the Nexus Frame Gen mod on my 2024, and am unable to lock frames at 30FPS. Whether using the inbuilt menu, or the Nvidia control panel. My ASUS program is also trying to cap the frames at 30 FPS. I'm unwilling to use the Nvidia control panel because this seems to kill off the frame gen mod entirely. Is there anything I may be missing here? I use 2020 as well and it works fine on that, locked solid at 30FPS.

After Steam updated MSFS 2024 to the latest SU3 beta build, I started the sim and tried to load a flight. It hung during “Starting Flight”, so I closed the sim and restarted Windows. Since then, MSFS 2024 no longer loads — it gets stuck at 97% on the main loading screen. Troubleshooting I’ve tried (Steam version): Disabled Steam Cloud and deleted local cloud data (userdata\<SteamID>\2537590). Deleted the entire %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 folder. Searched for and removed UserCfg.opt. Moved Community folder out and renamed it. Searched for Official\Steam folders to remove p…

FS2020 runs well for me, especially with Rex live weather and fstl AI traffic. However, it bugs me when at a busy airport, traffic is landing and taking off in all directions even when the weather dictates otherwise. What can I do to be more realistic. Thankyou.

Wondering if there are any references out there that show how individual airlines configure their MAX's. iFly has a great deal of options available to customize your jet (HUD, various avionics settings, etc) but I have no idea which of my liveries have those specific options. Even something as basic as the thrust rating of the engines isn't available. I thought I saw something years ago for the PMDG 737NG that had all this listed out, anyone see something similar for the MAX?

Since the release of MSFS 2024, I've been running both simulators side by side, using MSFS 2020 primarily for flying large aircraft with AI traffic, and MSFS 2024 for sightseeing etc. Lately, I've found myself tending more toward MSFS 2024, so I've decided to fully transition and uninstall MSFS 2020 to streamline my setup. Before I proceed, are there any precautions I should take when uninstalling MSFS 2020? Is it advisable to uninstall and reinstall MSFS 2024 as part of the cleanup, or is that unnecessary? I imagine many of you have already made this switch. If so, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any tips you might have.

Hi Everyone, Since the recent update for MSFS 2020, I cannot operate the Flaps in any fixed-wing aircraft. The flaps will not lower or raise through either the keyboard or Thrustmaster side stick. The Flap Handle/Lever jiggles but does not move any further. I have checked bindings, cleared them and re-assigned them with no change. Before the update everything worked. Any help will be appreciated. Regards Darren.

Hello everyone, I need help resolving some issues related to the new 581.08 driver and the NVIDIA APP update: 1) I'm using the DLSS 4 drivers (3.10.3.0.0), but the new NVIDIA 581.08 driver has reset my settings in the NVIDIA APP (and also in the NVIDIA Profile Inspector). Now I don't know what to do: rewrite the settings I had before (which, by the way, I've forgotten) or leave them as they are? 2) How can I tell if the DLSS 4 drivers are working and not reverted to the previous ones? 3) Regarding Smooth Motion: if I enable it in the NVIDIA APP, it doubles the frames (equivalent to Frame Generation x 2), but if Frame Generation and Smooth Motion are en…

I couldn't use fs24 for the last 8 months since it came out, basically because our internet wasn't good enough. We've since moved and along with that now have fibre internet so I'm playing catch up. I installed pmdg 777, and I'm flying across the Pacific, and somewhere around the middle of the ocean my plane started gradually slowing down. I was at fl360 and which was actually lower than the recommended altitude on simbrief and through the fmc. I was doing just fine at m0.83 at fl360 earlier when the aircraft was much heavier, so I found it weird. I ended up changing the n1 profile to clb, and it would get up to m0.8, but not much higher -- and burning lots mo…

I noticed that at KJFK, the 22R runway ILS is missaligned, it happens at 2020 and 2024 and at both Asobo and addons airports. Is it a Navigraph issue ?

Like a lot of people, I have a love-hate relationship with 2024. Here is the scenario: Using FSiPanel, I set up an autoland scenario in Phoenix sky harbour and I repeated and recorded the exact same autoland flight within 15 minutes. My first attempt was a stutter fest with an average fps of about 40 and the second attempt showed an average FPS of about 95 and hardly any stutters. The enclosed video shows the results. This is maddening. At any given time, 2024 can be amazing or totally unplayable. I realize this is a first world ‘problem’, but still… 😠. Incidentally, I was running with high to ultra settings in 4K and my hardware consists of a 9800 X3d , RTX 4…

Anyone using an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor with a 9070 XT card? I would like to know what kind of performance you are getting in fs2024 at 1440 resolution , especially VRAM usage. I want to upgrade from my RTX 3070 to a 9070 XT as I am totally maxed out with my 8GB nvidia card and that's already with reduced settings.

Whenever I update MSFS content, the simulator freezes for a long period of time. Even after restarting the PC, the same issue happens and it continues freezing until the update is eventually completed. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas what could cause it or how to fix it?

I noticed iniBuilds has their own Larnaca (LCLK) airport for MSFS. It looks good in the screenshots and the price is quite low, but I’m wondering how it compares to the JustSim LCLK. Has anyone tried both? Which one looks and performs better, and is it worth switching?

Having issues with the way the EFB calculates t/o performance. I'm finding multiple cases where it simply tells me it can't calculate the TO numbers and I need to reduce weight, change flaps setting, etc. In nearly every case, I've not been close to GW and have had favorable wind / temp conditions. Today I was at KMDW with 160PAX, 6K of cargo and a Simbrief calculated fuel load of 16,200 lbs and ZFW of 137.2K lbs. Had favorable winds. Tried to run the numbers for TO-1. Got the message. Went to TO settings, same. Tried Flaps 10, same. Finally I had to drop the PAX numbers down to 70 and the EFB finally calculated my V-speeds. I ended up just adding 10 …

What is going on? My 2020 purchases: 182RG, Seminole, V35, M20 all disappeared, and upon examining the Library, were "Disabled". So, putting my tired old brain to a test, I enabled them, one at a time.. They are back, and I can fly them just fine (again), but what the heck is happening?? 🫢 Still wonder if I might have missed one.. Hmm..

I see all these wonderful screenshots of awesome scenery, complete with high quality buildings, roads, etc. However, the majority of the time when I'm flying, built-up areas look like a post-apocalyptic hellscapes, with most / all of the building looking "melted". I've got a strong PC and have most of the settings set for the highest graphics possible. Also have a high end internet service. What am I doing wrong here? I was told turning off photogrammetry helps but doesn't that also defeat the purpose of having accurate ground structures? I'm thoroughly confused here.
