Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

https://fselite.net/news/terrainy-studios-previews-rv-8-for-msfs/ Anyone know anything about these guys? Ironically, I just left a deposit on a real RV-8 this past Friday. Looking forward to flying the MSFS version on rainy days!

I fancied taking a Bush Trip over Norway so selected it from the Activities menu. I got the message Item Not Downloaded, go to content Manager. On doing so it informs me that it IS downloaded and it is V 1.0.3 and up to date. Seems like I shall have to give it a miss but is this a common problem or just me? Do I need a special visa perhaps?

Good morning, I tried on several occasions to fly EBBR-EHRD RWY 06 with ILS with msfs 2020 internal flight plan and with Littlenav map. I never can approach the airport. Plane turns back. I have not noticed this trouble on any other airports same with Baron as Skyhawk 172. Can someone try it as it's only few minutes flight. Thank you. msfs version 1.17.3.0 and lnm version 2.6.11

Not a hate thread I love MSFS.. I want it to succeed but some old teething issues from even FSX and further back still linger.. Example.. Fully updated with the latest World Update. Went to check out St Barth in the Top Rudder Solo 103. Couldn't help but notice. In external view. The plane had no pilot at all. From my long time sim experience my first go to was to delete Content.xml and try again.. Low and behold my pilot returned to the cockpit. These may seem like little things to the experienced who know the automatic trouble shooting but to the casual, or new simmers.. This sort of problem that stems back further than I'd like to admit needs to be put…

Is there a directory and file tree for this program somewhere? I spent about 15 minutes poking around with File Explorer and couldn't find it anywhere. I know it's there somewhere, it ate up all my space and I've got to get a bigger M2. I'm mostly just curious, where the hell have they hidden the dang thing?

I was browsing through new releases in the Marketplace and came upon a new release from Island Creations who seem to be focusing on Canary Island Imagery. The results are amazing, no doubt, but after checking the price I realized that maybe we will never be able to expect something like this from Asobo. 3rd party (both freeware and payware) are releasing this amazing products but Microsoft doesn´t seem to be able or want to enhance their star product in this direction. World Updates rely on out of date orto imagery and "no one" seems to care....Pity.

Hello, Is anyone else experiencing excessive wiggling during flight with small plane? I'm not a pilot, nor have ever flown in a small plane but intuitively, if I completely remove the wind layer, I would not expect my plane to violently roll left and right so that I need to correct the roll all the time. Plane is A5 Icon. At first I though that it is the wind causing this but after I completely removed the wind layer there was no change. I saw other topic where the issue about camera shake is being discussed, but this is not camera issue but behavior of the plane itself. To illustrate the issue, I can point you to the video, starting at 0:17 pla…

The Flight dynamics. Which is correct? MSFS or P3D MSFS Once in flight, the ailerons are mot effective. I have to apply rudder before ailerons become effective. It oscillates. Is this how it works in real life. I don't know..someone who has flown this aircraft please answer. These behavior are universal across multiple planes. I prefer the P3D version.

I have been playing with the G3000 in the default MSFS KA350i. I have found that sometimes clicking on FULL to return the PFD screen from Split to FULL does not always work. One time the only solution was to reload the aircraft. Have others seen this, or perhaps there is something I don't understand about this issue. Thx, Al

I'm not flying in the Nordics region and is not much interesting in the WU5, but the update 1.17.3 added what it seems great update on DEM for some places I love (St-Barth/St-Martin) and that some have missed 😉 St-Martin, Orient Bay beach, closest airport is Grand-Case TFFG St-Barth (TFFS) : Can't wait to discover the other "at various locations" (as written in the release notes) 😉

Current status: Live on Microsoft Store (1,03GB) and Steam (238,6MB). The installation manager download is 5,25GB. Remember to download the World Update (3,53GB) from the Marketplace for the new scenery! The virtual world in Microsoft’s Flight Simulator is getting its latest major update, one with a focus on Europe’s Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Renowned for its natural splendor and architectural wonder, this region has been rendered in its most realistic fidelity yet in World Update V: Nordics. Simmers can take to the northern European sky and explore vast fjords, intriguing urban vistas, domineering peaks, a…

Today's Developer Q&A is scheduled to begin at 08:30 AM PST, or 10 minutes from now. Who is excited?! This Q&A session will be centred around World Updates, photogrammetry, scenery, airports and related topics. It is important to note that any questions regarding Xbox and Sim Update 5/DirectX 12 should be directed at the 30th June Q&A. You can watch it in here: twitch.tv/msfsofficial

Hi, just wonder... Why cant I use FXAA as an option in Nvidia Inspector in MSFS to sort of "even out" the edges of objects, without getting a huge fps drop? The stutter/lagging gets horrible when checking that opiton in Nvidia Inspector... In DCS, FSX, P3D and IL-2 there is NO impact and no preformanceloss what so ever when using FXAA in Nvidia Inspector. But why in MSFS? Best regards Buspelle

My internet was down today, and I launched MSFS figuring I could at least use the offline mode. Instead I was asked to insert the disk, and was given the choice to Continue (which it would not let me do) or Quit. Is running offline impossible? I downloaded so there is no disk.

I own Virtual CDU and also a paid foreflight among others and was wondering if anyone knows of any good working ipad apps for FS2020 ?????

I bought this plane and was amazed at how nice it looked but very puzzled why it was so sluggish on takeoff and couldn’t get much 100 knots in the air. I realized that only 2 engines were producing full power...when I advance the throttle slider on my Thrustmaster T16000M only 2 of the engines (selectable with the red indent thing) can go to full throttle, the other two advance a little bit forward then “stick”. I’m obviously doing something dumb somewhere...I’d like to be able to advance and pull back on all 4 throttles at once using my single throttle slider on my joystick as that’s all I have available (no separate throttle quadrants etc). Any help is ap…

At the settings of the Central Op Center, it asks "pilot number" and "password"... Where I find that?

Is there a way to get the sim to remember the login credentials ? Lately, I have to sign in each time I start FS2020. Is this normal ? I'm using the Steam version. I don't recall it being this way prior to one of the updates....and I also notice my 'total hours' also got reset, coincident with either a FS update, Win10 update, or both. thanks,

Right now, w/ my 2070 Super, about the only thing that will nail me is flying thru those diffuse clouds when I'm set on Ultra. A moment ago, GPU load hardly went over 80% while taking off out of Denver until I ran into widespread diffuse clouds during which GPU load went to 100% and w/ it the concommittant dive in frame rate from a rock solid 30 down to 20 and with it bad stuttering. The irony is here I'm flying out of Denver and there is so much going on in this busy metro area, and no probleme whatsoever until up to 30K feet and we enter this thick cloud layer. Shot up to 44K feet to get thru it and now as you can see on Ultra GPU load is around 74%: Espec…

Okay, hello everyone! I am trying to figure out from any of you how to fix the aircraft running off the runway on landing without me being able to not control it with my joystick. As soon as I land and use the thrust reverse the aircraft take off to the left or right depending what mood it’s in at the time. I have tried turning down the wind and it still does the same thing. I know some people are not having this issue but I am. Anyway any tips would be great.

Hey guys how do I disable all the pop ups like the altimeter compass speed etc and have it just the aircraft and scenery showing? I have everything disabled in accessibility settings. thanks mike

Hello, I am wondering that the game MSFS2020 is supposed to be working without Internet (off line). But recently I had problem withInternet - internet was down for some time and during this time tried to play the simulator but it would not Launch, I tried a few timeswithout success. Although I own the simulator with DVDs I did not buy it either from steam nor MS STORE. If any body please let meknow is there anything wrong with my installation or is it that you must have internet connection to play the sim?. Thanks.

Captain Sim releases the -300...and as a stand alone....for $10 cheaper than the -200? 🤔 I'm sure that's gonna trigger the crowd who bought the -200 "Base pack"....or as it was implied as that is how it's been sold before (and I swear I saw the word "base pack" on the original sales page...but if I did, CS conveniently got rid of it because he knew it would raise more havoc.) Of course this is MSFS and the "aircraft" are just the shell of the "aircraft", but I bet those who "thought" they needed the -200 as a pathway to get the -300, and really wanted only the -300 and were hoping you pay $30 for the "base pack" and maybe $10 for the -300 "expansion" would be…

Does anyone know where to find a list of all POI? Is there any kind of file in the program folders?
