Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)

Announced over at FS Elite...

For who is interested: I got my Mcp Combo working with Msfs and the CRJ All rotaries work like HDG Spd Alt Vs and also autopilot buttons. https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/162205-axis-and-ohs-templates-for-aerosoft-crj-550700-with-cockpit-animations-and-improved-throttle-binding/page/2 Gr Robert

In the last two days, on approach I have had four screen freezes, and 2 CTDs and not one successful flight all the way to the arrival landing. I have emptied the Community folder except for the JF Arrow. This always happens within about 25 miles of the arrival airport. The flight that just CTD , I was 10 miles from landing. Now I am thinking that maybe the only alternative , which I have never had to do with any sim I have flown, is to uninstall and reinstall it. Is this a wise decision, that's what I can't figure out.

I've been enjoying flying Flyinside Bell 47G and have been exploring world all over again to no end! I have absolutely smooth, fps friendly fling experience in this particular helicopter. I have good rig but not super fast internet connection. It seems like flying low and slow give my bandwidth enough time to stream all data to show off the beauty of MSFS! I'm hardcore guy, so realistic flight model setting with in Flyinside Helo Manager is must for me. Although I do wish for some kind of AI assistant who could take controls LOL

Another bird of Indiafoxtecho. The developer shared some new images of the aircraft and a few details about its development. Currently, the Su-31 is mostly complete from the visual standpoint, with just some textures needing some tweaks. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=4532125646800861&id=594476197232512

I was making a new video last night, and wanted to get a wing view after landing at DEN. I was able to record the landing and exiting the runway toward the terminal it was working just fine. I don't have a joystick, I use my keyboard. also I use Fraps to record my videos. After setting up the screenshot I noticed my fraps recorder FPS disappeared from the upper left hand corner, however, I continued to maneuver the plane to get a shot of the ramp and gates, but the plane kept moving on a straight line. I normally use 4 & 0(insert) on my keypad to turn left or 6 & Enter to turn right. For the first time I noticed that any time I hit "insert" or "enter" keys another…

Why would this be a great concept to implement? To keep one from needing to stop and adjust sliders, why of course! I am reminded of the need for something like this because for example taking off at KLAX this morning, and yesterday from Roman Design's lovely CYOW, I had to drastically reduce certain sliders while on the ground to retain the precious 30fps using vsync to 30Hz, yet within 30 seconds after TO I could stop and change increase sliders in the opposite direction, which truthfully is the Mother of all Immersion Killers. If I had an RTX 3090 I could perhaps find a better place and just accept a happy high-medium, but w/ my RTX 2070 Super both load and VRAM hit …

Some missions I created.

Decided to start conducting this test today. From the latest Developer Q&A, this is the answer we got regarding the state of water mask implementations from the Around the World trailers. So I viewed the Oceania trailer, released on 18 August 2020, and then checked in-game, to see if the water masks have been implemented. Sadly this is not the case. I apologise for not trying to approximate the shots' composition, time of day and weather (though the last one is impossible for me now) very much, but those pictures should be enough for a clear comparison. All of my screenshots were taken just now, with streaming Bing and photogrammetry data enabled. …

I see a week or two ago they came out with an updated version of the Piper Seminole by Carenado. Wondering if any Twin pilots have tried it, and how is the flight model? It sure looks nice.

I just purchased this at the Market place after reading about it on the MSFS Facebook page. Really makes the airports look real.

I am not a study level simmer, I just madly love MSFS for its visual fidelity, immersion and overall scope, but there have been some changes since launch, improving on some aspects and worsening others. Personally, I noted the following: Forward: -World updates, some terrain improvements, addition of very nice landmarks, amazing Japan Photogrammetry, night lighting (improved and worsened in some respects compared to launch, but I consider it an overall very slight improvement). Backward: - Overall visual fidelity seems to have somewhat lowered (I noticed less detail in the clouds, lower detail in the distance, worsening photogrammetry); - Worse pe…

Interesting Video

As the title says…the in game updater is calling for 73 gb for the France update, 1.15.7 and anything that came after. I looked into the update which many were saying about 23gb then more from content manager. Does this sound correct? When I saw this in game, I just shut down and did not yet do the update. So it’s not a full reinstall but it seems like too much. MS store version. Thanks!

I tried to start the sim and got an "insert disc" message because I had forgotten to connect the internet cable - duh! But after the internet connection was restored (double-checked it) nothing would happen when I clicked the desktop icon. Rebooted with no change. Did a search and found a post about a similar problem that had me sign out of the Microsoft store, then sign back in. No change after reboot. Then I reset the Microsoft Store cache. No change after reboot. Finally I tried to launch from the Microsoft Store My Library site. No go. I haven't had any start-up issues with the game in a long time. I can't image I corrupted anything by simply trying to start the…

I've been using MSFS extensively for the past few months and I have to say, I'm confused about why people say this is a sightseeing sim only. Using the JustFlight Arrow 3 and Aerosoft CRJ addons, alongside the GNS530 mod, I've been able to complete the PilotEdge Cat-ratings, I-ratings and SkyHigh Charters. For those unacquainted, these are detailed and challenging tests that require internalising a huge amount of information pertaining to instrument (and VFR) flight, and putting it to use on their environment. These courses have required me to fly all sorts of situations, including but not limited to: Class D,C and B departures, arrivals and transiti…

If some of you are interesting to fly over France, this developper has release his first pack of airports for a good price. https://www.vfrnetwork.com/shop/fr/nouveautes/184-airport-france-pack-1.html

This has bugged me for a while not sure if it affects others, even with AI traffic OFF I still get a lot of AI spawned at every airport I spawn at or fly over. This is very noticeable because I use LittleNavMap and can see the aircraft spawned on the map. Maybe I should provide screenshots but I usually fly with MP off and Real time online traffic. My understanding is the only traffic I should see is based on real airline data (which is sparse usually) but this should not include AI?

A mod that let you play ground services and drive the tug in MSFS. When someone called ground services, you would answer , go to the gate and push the aircraft back. I know it's silly. and probably have very little people interested in doing that but hey. That's why it's silly.

---------------THIS POST CAN BE DELETED---------- found the problem. There are several gates/jetways at each end of the apron that are connected to nothing, but the middle jetways connect to a building...the building just doesn't extend far enough so there are free-standing jetways on each end. My return flight to SEGU was at night and I parked at gate 8 which is a free-standing jetway, and couldn't see the building to the right. The origination flight was daytime and I must have started from one of the middle gates connected to the building. I flew from SEGU starting at a gate and flew to SEQM. I would swear that when I loaded in at the gate …

Hi All For last 2 days now Ive noticed that I no longer have any traffic in the air or taxiing on the ground at any airports. Anyone else seeing this? Im using msfs live traffic.

Hi, does anyone know if steam dicounts are regularily available for MSFS? When could be the next discount?

Anyone buy this for $10 US on the Marketplace. A no-brainer for site-seeing. Give it the gas and it will hang at the given altitude. Brake to hard and it will flip over. Sorry no pics yet. Cheep thrills. bs 🍀

Did any of you, folks, find a way to bind LNM to a key or a joystick button to have it pop up and out of the game screen ? The alt-tab that I do seems a bit prehistoric to me.
