Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Bizarre... After the Asobo 500 Mb Aviator's Livery update that I had to download this morning, my extra DC-6 liveries are wasted : the Olympic Airways for the passenger version has disappeared and the AA for the cargo has lost all its textures in and out . What about yours ?

Hi. Have had this problem since last patch. Sound coming from my left logitech speaker fades in and out in FS2020, usually during flight only the right speaker produces sound but left one is very fade but you can hear it. Then it sometimes comes back on and sometimes fades again. Haven't had this problem before the latest patch. Every other game, sound from youtube etc. works great from my left speaker so it isn't a hardware issue. Has anyone else had similar problem after latest patch ? Is there a fix for it ?

I have a little confusion about the Bush Trips. First of all an assumption and a question, I'm assuming I don't have any sort of access to an autopilot or heading hold. Is that correct? I only wonder because I'm finding it hard to hold a steady heading for any length of time. it's like I can't relax my grip on the stick at all. Second, and this applies to any flight, How do I "save my game"? I can't fly the whole thing at once! It appears maybe there is some type of auto save active because last time I completely logged out of the game and came back in, I was in mid flight. I actually wanted to start over from the ground and couldn't figure out how. Third, apparently I ca…

It all started with the AS updater not recognising I have the Aerosoft CRJ installed therefore couldn't update to latest build. In my attempt to fix it I now can't even see the CRJ in the Sim to fly at all. I've posted over at the Aerosoft forums but slow response so far, wondered if any of you fine knowledgeable people could help me please https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/164525-as-updater-doesnt-detect-crj/&tab=comments#comment-1045467 Cheers!

Saw MagzTV' first World Tour viseo, and it just hit me, with MSFS VR support getting in, and me finally finding a VR headset that works for my head, I can actually do that VFR 'round the world trip I've wanted to do. I've got some ideas on what planes I may want to make the go in, but am wondering, what planes are other people's favorites for long VFR multi-hop trips?

I can’t seem to find the exe. Or perhaps it’s in the folder which I cannot open? downloaded via ms store cheers mike

The Piper Arrow is available at the following link https://www.justflight.com/product/pa-28r-arrow-iii-microsoft-flight-simulator

Unless I missed it, has anyone posted how we setup reverse thrust on a Saitek quadrant? Thanks

I have logged 98 hours.

I know there are many many liveries for this aircraft. However, they vary from very old to somewhat new (according to upload dates). However I find that the build updates are much more frequent then the livery designs, as a result I suspect this is the reason for many of my crash to desktops. I find that if I fly with the FBW default livery it all works well. Question: what is the best resource to find updated/latest liveries that work with current builds? (i.e. Alaska, Delta, United) Thanks

Hi guys! Sometimes while creating a flightplan on the gns units, it happens to me that after entering a new waypoint, the gns decides to delete part of the flight plan. It happens randomly. Every time, before hitting the "ENT" key i hold my breath to see if it wont delete part of my route. Is this something that also happens to someone else? If so, is there any workaround?

Hi, Is it possible to bind the AFE functions to the keyboard? Reason being I would like to tie them to voice command - "dry takeoff" instead of having to click on the screen. (Alternately, is there some var that I can interface using Lua...?) Thanks

Hey guys please help me, I just switched from years of XP to FS2020 Steam yesterday. On the Saitek yoke there is a round button on left side I always used for 360 deg viewing in & out of the cockpit. It’s very important (to me), that as i’m flying & changing angles/positions & so forth, to be able to be constantly changing my pov, but I can’t seem to find a mapped setup page of the yoke to assign that button for I guess what would be called free camera? Please help me if possible, thanks much.

Hey guys so I am new to msfs. still using P3d v5 also. thou I am blown away with the graphics and want to continue with msfs as soon as some of the payware aircrafts come aboard. My question is how to get the camera panning smoother? I have tried assigning the hat key which pans okay with my saitek quadrant thou its stuttering whilst panning a little. Vsync off. 144hz monitor , should I use rtss? cheers mike

https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/major-aerodynamic-bug-induced-drag-and-parasitic-drag/411364 So this person just found that the induced drag is wrongly influencing the parasitic drag. If true, this would need a bit more visibility and upvotes, that's why I wanted to post it here. What are your thoughts on this ?

Hello, does anyone else encounter this problem?

Welcome to the club. Just to remind you that PMDG has done a series of tutorial videos which is an excellent introduction to this aircraft. This is #1 . You can fire up your MFS and watch the tutorial on a tablet or phone. There are only 19 more. Oops I maybe should n't have added that 😅

Well, a freeware glider, the DG Flugzeugbau DG-808S, is now available for MSFS and it supposedly has fully working gauges: I haven't tried it yet. But it has garnered a lot of interest in the Reddit MSFS forum already.

Hi everyone! Do you use the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator? Then please keep on reading! Contribute to scientific research by filling out a short 10 min. survey and sharing your experiences in this forum. MSFS 2020 can easily be considered a new form of virtual tourism: travel without ‘real’ travel. But could this substitute a vacation-feeling to some degree? And why/how? My master’s thesis on Virtual Tourism and Travel will try to answer these questions. From a personal perspective, this topic really fascinates me: I am both an avid traveller (at least, in ‘normal’ times!) and a MSFS-user myself. My girlfriend and I are both loving this sim since we st…

FYI: Just Flight released an update to the Stearman - v1.0.1. That was nice and quick!

Flying the Grand Caravan last night for the first time, it bounded around wildly, small movements did nothing then it’d roll or pitch dramatically. Would feel very sorry for any passengers that’s for sure. I’m used to the A320 which is smooth. Is this how it reacts in real life and or the sim or do I need to change something? thoughts?

Are there any payware or very good freeware regional turboprops out there in production or development? I’m talking the 30-80 seat size. I think there’s a Q300 and ATR on flightsim.to how good are they now? I first got them the modelling was average at best. Functions limited.

Hi, I can't get the London or Paris photogrammetry, though Brussels for example is fine. My specs are RTX 2070 super 8gb i7-9700 @ 3.00GHz 16Gb RAM (2666) I was wondering if increasing my RAM to 32Gb would help. Also, are there any in-game tweaks to save memory (not VRAM or Pagefile)? I have used Contents manager to remove jets, and would be happy not to load any airports/challenges if that would free more memory - and if it is possible. I bought MSFS mainly for the scenery it promised. Any help here would be appreciated.

Any issues after update? This update includes the following improvements We fixed an issue that causes blurry text on the news and interests button on the Windows taskbar for some display configurations. We fixed an issue that causes communication between apps to stop working after you enable the “AppMgmt_COM_SearchForCLSID” policy. We fixed a performance issue in the MultiByteToWideChar() function that occurs when it is used in a non-English locale. We fixed an issue that prevents sorting from working properly when using multiple versions of National Language …
