Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

So arguably, MSFS is already a success with the large number of copies sold, and the large number of freeware add ons available already. But MSFS can become so much more and I think Asobo has the right attitude for it to succeed. At the last Twitch Q&A, I was really impressed with some of the people Asobo brought in to answer questions. They brought the devs from Working Title and FBW to give an update and answer some questions from the community. What has impressed me about Asobo is that where they were weak with the G1000 & G3000, they brought in Working Title to shore up the G1000 and G3000. Asobo was humble enough to acknowledge that Working Title could p…

Finally had the chance to try the King Air and it is much improved. Flight dynamics and ILS APPR were superb. Taxiing was awful. It stuck and requires throttles to the stops just to move from a stand still. At one point when getting close to the marshaller and fuel truck it just stopped altogether. Full power and still wouldn't move? Tried moving the nose wheel left and right but still stuck. Is this all the planes or just the turbo props or limited to the King Air?

Hello. This looks very interesting, but I haven't heard any feedback from anyone. Thinking about trying it. Thanks, Mike

Free Top Gun: Maverick Expansion releasing November 19 2021

I have just bought a Saitek Multipanel, the one with the autopilot, and have the newest drivers installed. With some planes it works fine. But with others (The Islander & CRJ for instance) I get a CTD a minute or so after taking off. No idea of the cause. It happens whether or not I touch the panel. Is this a known issue and is there a fix other than unplugging it? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi folks, Another excellent mod ! Grab it here 😊 From the developer: "Shift+Z Stats" brings back the classic compact flight statistics know from FSX and earlier titles of Microsoft Flight Simulator. A very handy tool that shows you information like: Coordinates Wind speed and direction Airspeed Altitude Heading Fuel remaining FPS (Frames per second) Simulation rate No matter if you're flying a Piper Cub, an Airbus A320 or any other aircraft, "Shift+Z Stats" comes in handy any time.

I finally got my PC back from the Manufacturer, with a new GPU and PSU, and two hour flight went without a hitch. Flying P3D after flying MSFS for about 4 months was beyond horrible. Nothing to look at, boring, boring , boring. I flew tonight on a flight I used to do in real life from KFLL to KEYW, and it was beautiful. The Seminole I flew had been updated today, don't know what the update was about, but it flew great. 😉 Now I have my Credit card ready and waiting for the DC6.

Available 27 July 2021 on the Xbox Series X|S (available for pre-order and pre-load now), with a free Top Gun: Maverick expansion arriving in the autumn.

It's now available at the ORBX store. https://fselite.net/news/gaya-simulations-releases-block-island-for-msfs/ Who is getting it? I've been there many times and it's one of those airports that always brings back many memories of training in the NE. Jose

For last week or so I've been trialling SkyDemon as a VFR planning and flight tracking tool and it's genuinely brilliant EXCEPT I cannot find a viable way to use it's flight plans in MSFS. I've tried converting with LMN and other various tool and I can get the plan to load but with the flight starting on the runway. If I load that plan it the change the starting point to a parking place it loses the route and goes to a straight line if I add a parking point in LMN then it seems to add it as the last waypoint not the first. Has anyone had any luck with SkyDemon and able to offer guidance ?

So I guess many of us are eagerly awaiting the release of the PMDG's DC6. For example, I have been checking PMDG's site every day for news about the release. As we know, not much else is known other than its june release date is upheld by Rob Randazzo. I would have expected the shop to be updated to reflect the upcoming release with "coming soon" or something along that line. The shop, however, has not been updated, and nowhere in the shop can you see any hint of the DC6 being close to release for MSFS. Normally, that wouldnt be of any great importance, however PMDG has had a history of exactly that when it comes to their previous releases; some time before the actu…

do you guys think that there is any relation between AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution release date (22 Jun) and MSFS X-Box version + DX12 support?

Got a issue which not to worried about is that when i select the push back option using the efb ipad on the left hand side window, after push back is completed unable to taxi only able to go fwd. When selecting push back using the atc ground service i have no issues.

Here's a link to the update It's in the top original post ver. 0.9.8 Will be another update to follow. AP still not finished, but now has water rudder operation.

Since first loading MSFS2020 from MS Store about a month after release, I have had a relatively trouble-free run, with only a couple of CTDs that were easily fixed by removing recently installed addons. However, some 2 weeks ago the sim failed to install and crashed after the first blank black screen (ie before the rotating load-circle appeared in the bottom right corner). At this stage I made the following changes: - Empty Community folder – no change. - Log out and back in to MS Store – no change. - Log out and back in to Game Box – no change. At this stage I gave up and abandoned the PC for a more productive activity ie mowed the lawns…

To all those that may be interested, after the superb C172 bush mods and amphibian versions, Bagolu does it again - the C172 is now available without wheel pants. https://flightsim.to/file/16362/cessna-172-no-wheel-fairings I have been after this mod for some time. I have never liked the look of the wheel fairings. I may use this plane to do my cross USA flight (all mainland states) in the colours of Mr. Aviation 101 (on YouTube - well worth a watch). In one of his YouTube videos, he says he removed them on his plane as he said the extra weight and difficulty servicing the brakes etc. wasn't worth any extra aerodynamic saving (in his view), plus the cos…

Well, not quite, but that is the plan! I've been having a blast flying around the recent world updates of the UK and France! I've started to record and keep track of my flights so that I have a visual record of everywhere I've explored, as you can see in the attached image. Hopefully one day I will have covered the entire globe! Favorite places I've been to so far would Réunion near Madagascar, and the Vancouver region in Canada. What about you guys?

My Traffic is gone I have few airliners (dummy ones) Whats up with that? Any ideas?

I am thinking of buying Aerosoft CRJ, but I am not sure how it performs. I am currently flying WT CJ4 and FBW Airbus and am very happy with thier perfomance (fps and smoothness). Is CRJ comparable in performance to WT CJ4 or FBW, or does it have major negative impact on performance?

... for other aircraft. first time I realized this today, did I miss anything, was this introduced with SU4 or did they sneak this in in between? just flying with Real Time Traffic though, no idea whether contrails are also shown für multiplayer? will check that later today. Anyway, looks nice as I can finally spot other airplanes easier and makes the sky feel more "populated".
